Chopin: Etudes Op.10 No.1-3

As an amateur player, I've been dreaming to play Chopin's 24 studies (Op10 & Op25) for long time. Now I came half way (sort of---Op25 seems much more challenging).

Other fragments:
No.4-6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVUyOVyAXkA

No.10-12: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdCtYNPfM1o

素人ながら、ショパン 練習曲作品10を弾いてみました。まず第1番ハ長調、第2番イ短調、第3番ホ長調。

第2番は『のだめ』コミックス14巻でのだめが弾いてる試験の曲のひとつ。のだめは余裕で弾いていたそうですが私は速度を2/3に落としても一杯一杯です。

Watching video's like this makes me feel nothing lol.. unfair :p

@remcodelange94 It took about 5-6 years since I started practicing Op10, till I made this recording, and it was still about 60%-70% of the desired speed. I'm no pro, man. I can just tell that you do get better if you keep doing.

[remcodelange94]

@anohana Thanks for your reply!

And in those years you had lessons in playing? Seems like you did! You're a good player, I've never had lessons, all learned it myself.

But what you play is so cool, my hands aren't able to make those moves, guess that's just a lot of practising.

[anohana]

@remcodelange94 No, I didn't take lessons those days, but I did take some in my childhood. I usually practice less than an hour a day; I guess the key is just keep doing.

About speed: In all those years I gradually realized that there's no single "hand dexterity" parameter. It's more like a bunch of different *obstacles* that prevents your hand from moving smoothly. So identifying and removing them one by one makes your hand move faster, I think.

are you a Girl? I like your legs!....

[anohana]

Sorry to break your illusion, but I'm a middle-aged man.

The reason that the legs look thin is because of the wide-angled camera, I guess.

[Zimologist]

You make it look so easy.

Great job.

[Singlerity]

I learned op 10 no 1 in about month and I had been playing a year. My speed is about the same.

@anohana

That's so true. But it's very difficult and you're very good at it, keep going m8. Great!
