  • was the original not hard enough?!

  • Once you master this etude with your fingers, the next step is to master them with your feet. Both are equally difficult xD

  • @Frozentoes1 they just sound off

  • @dalecampbl5 Godowsky was not setting out to outdo or undo Chopin. He took his inspiration from Chopin to take piano technique to a new level. If such pieces offend, then the solution is obvious.

  • Godowsky should have six fingers. (Compass 3, last note. Look at the finger)

  • i don't like it when people mess with what is already perfect. I'm sure if Chopin thought it proper to write his op.10 no.1 like this, he would've done so. This type of music really distracts from the musical part of the piece while adding to the technical difficulties.

  • Who played this piece?

  • this one goes to eleven

  • To my ears, one thing that marks Hamelin apart from many of today's super-technicians: his tone. No matter how stupendous the difficulties, or brilliant the passagework, Hamelin never fails to produce a gorgeous tone. And he is capable of so many fine subtleties. I think that when he is very old and has lost some of his technical power he will be more recognized and appreciated for these most refined qualities.

  • @Keytaster youve heard hamelins study on paganini (commonly referred to as "la campanella").. Godowsky takes a chopin study and does his own (compositional)study based on the original (compositional) study. theyre two totally different pair of shoes. the only way to honor a great piece in this case a cycle of music, is to take it serious (which doesnt mean you cannot "play" with it). Godowsky took them serious, thats called hommage.. course it doesnt sound entirely chopinesque. its godowsky..

  • @markarama23 I believe it's Marc-Andre Hamelin

  • Who's the pianist here?
