That upright IS excelent. And its not as sloppy as you think it is. Excelent.

[Isaacholbrook]

definitely not- Yamaha U1s are like mini steinway Bs. I love the action, and the tone.  ;)

[4fingeredfreak]

First, it's not that messy. I mean come one man, this is one of the nastier of liszt's etudes when played up to tempo.

Second, as a fellow drunkard and pianist, I respect you immensely, though I fear I have not your chops, and must remain with my dear friend Chopin whilst banging around on the pianer.

Third, that's a pretty fucking tight tat you sport on your right shoulder, what is it? I have rachmaninoff sheet music running down my side, but that's a sick tattoo.

Third

[Isaacholbrook]

Cool- i just put up a chopin video, the second sonata. :)

the tattoo is the Steinway logo. What rachmaninov music do you have on your side?

[AtomicCactus]

Wow, I usually find that the actions of upright pianos to be too slow for more technically demanding repertoire. I'm impressed!

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love how you play that triplet part in the right hand. I'm still trying to get it up to that speed.

[dtrez09]

he is so cute

[iSOisoleucine]

Well played.

[Hitherto90]

YEEESSSSS to you too my fellow pianist.

[TheRiskyBoxSpread]

the right hand runs are done very well, I'm quite jealous

[violinsizzle]

This etude is so carefully organised as to sound as random as possible, and therein lies its genius. Brilliant.

As for your performance, it is one of the best I've ever heard. Not messy at all.

[mayorde18]

*playing* ..... *cell phone starts ringing* xD FAIL . fortunately that didn't happen

[mayorde18]

O_O freakin awesome ._.

[pierolivier111]

Redneck playing piano

[deanbrown3d]

Considering that is one of the most difficult pieces in the world to play, congratulations. You need to get yourself aa Steinway and try the 1837 version now!

@hailkayy wrong note

[hailkayy]

@anonymousQ45 What do umean clunker, i dont understant this word

[anonymousQ45]

@hailkayy thats wat im saying, nobody plays it perfectly most pros dont even come close they have about 3 04 4 clunkers in there. there is no easy way to practice leaps

[hailkayy]

@arthurrf84 I liked your comment u did on his video, please check my version :-) tks

[hailkayy]

@anonymousQ45 Look 1.31-1.34 the left hand doesnt play some notes, but hey thats ok he played it good!

[arthurrf84]

One of the best amateurs performances I've seen of this piece. 2 compliments: really liked the melody from the LH you brought on the 35-49 bars. Felt like your introduction is very melodic and secure (+- till the jumping 8ves in the RH), the risk in this study is missing the melody and voices. Suggest correcting the tempo bars 22-27 and take into consideration the pauses between notes and less pedal bars 58-65 to evidence the constant tone change. Very good overall.

[dantheman4917]

OMG you are good

[faustmarionette]

@4fingeredfreak

which bit of rachmaninoff? I want to get a musical tattoo as well. actually of this piece.

[faustmarionette]

Oh wow. you are amazing. I forgot how much i love liszt. thank you for that.,

[faustmarionette]

good lord. I forgot how much i love liszt. holla!

[anonymousQ45]

1:34 is impossible! who can nail that section? V. Ochnikov (i think thats how you spell his name) is the only one ive heard do it

[dasklavierleben]

at first I was blown away by the talent. Then I actually took a month or so to learn the piece and I where it could be improved. I'm sure if you haven't abandoned the piece you have it all ironed out now though

[ilpianistadeisogni]

.....I...no comment!!!

fantastico!!!

[hailkayy]

Lot of show off that sucks, despite the piece is played Ok

[anonymousQ45]

i watch all your videos man this is ok i think youll have it perfect with some more practice btw the prelude etude is flawless

[thelisterinegame]

this douche is like a comment leaving rubber johnny, no one who saw him on the street would ever guess he's human.
