Sorry for the bad sound and noise quality. It was made with my first digital camera, lowest resolution and the dynamic is ruined by bad microphone on this Canon A80.

Strange that nobody makes comments on the tempo of a Chopin études played at the speed of light??? That was also not ment to be played in such speed since Chopin's instruments could not react that fast.

Conclusion: This has to be considered as a parody or a joke.
I made a little rase with one of the students on who would be quicker to finish this piece to the end without a mistake ... and, I won :)) VOILA... Don't try it at home!

  • To those who think this is played too fast in this video: the piece calls for the speed "prestissimo", which is the absolute fastest speed in music. In this video it is played very well and very accurately. Definitely not too fast.

  • @zeezeeshredder I mostly agree with you. By definition, it pretty much means to play as fast as you can, but it varies between different eras of music. A baroque/classical "prestissimo" is much slower than a modern "prestissimo". I agree with you that the notes have been played accurately in this rendition, however, it is debatable whether it is played too fast or not. If a piece is played too fast, it can be deprived of emotion and variation in dynamics.

    Nonetheless, well played Pianostudio!!

  • I'm learning this as a 11 year old and I can play about 5 times slower than you! You're doing great!

  • @Songofmagi2006 Absolutely correct.This modern playing of a piece by a great master does it no favours at all.This music is "Empfindsam" or music from the heart and soul.All the nuances and feelings are missing,and has just become a meaningless musical exercise.

  • This video is great! I actually love the speed that you play it. Your playing is very accurate too!

  • @zeezeeshredder I like the way it is played. It's more fun and shows more skills. Everyone has different interpretations of playing even the same song. The only thing that bugs me a little bit is the uneven timing. Other than that, good job!

  • I remember when I played this. I always hurt the tip of my fingers because I always rushed it. Timed myself one time: fastest I can play is about 52 seconds...fastest I could* play I meant

  • @minhtkd this is very speed

  • Hmm i think i'm maybe a 1/10 of that speed?

  • @Djoker888 YOU INSPIRE ME!! To do my music theory homework, so I can one day know what i'm talking about. i love piano <3

  • good technique and well played. Perhaps, a little less pedal at times?

    Off course, there are many different ways of interpreting this particular piece.

    I enjoyed listening to it.
