  • @royo90 and the possibility of the piano

  • @marcelmombeekpiano ? You mean that about this performance, or Richter in general?

  • @ilikehaku1100 That comment had 2 funny aspects on it :)

  • @donaldcallen Excuse me! I meant to reply to @Jarnobh! For sure I totally agree with your opinion!

  • @donaldcallen This is for sure not Hanon :) And even Hanon is musical, so I am really wondering why you are criticizing the musicality of his playing? It is part of the "musicality" to play it that fast, at that tempo.

  • @Jarnobh Richter is just Richter. And with all due respect, this interpretation conveys Richter's understanding of this piece of music, which is anything by "shallow". Cheers!

  • Yes etudes are meant to teach and improve the technique of the pianist however on the level were Richter a more deep musical interpretation would be appropriate. He is playing the etude for the general public to enjoy not to learn the piano technique. Thus I think that Horowitz has the best interpretation of this piece. Not too fast where one can hear and enjoy the music.

  • @donaldcallen

    No, this isn't. Maybe it might be on the right tempo, but then also, this is not what Chopin asked for. Chopin is a romantic pianist, do you hear and Richter, even if he's one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, is making his music ridiculous. This isn't far from ridiculous. Richter is a Bach-pianist. Chopin never said that you have to play this music like an idiot. And Richter is doing that.

  • Awful. He's making Chopin ridiculous. He HAVE TO play Bach, not Chopin or Liszt.

  • @marcelmombeekpiano What is it exactly that makes you feel bored? Is it maybe an inability to comprehend Richter's playing or is it really hi?.Please explain I insist.Having no degrees I am always willing and eager to learn from experts in these matters.
