  • Not only are you brilliant, but you might just be insane. Five takes? I hope you at least went out and got drunk afterwards....

  • @nyc88s I AM AN INSANE MAN! AND YES I PROBABLY DID GET DRUNK THAT NITE! :)

  • How long did you need to lie down with an ice pack on your hands after you did this?

  • @nyc88s HAHA THE CRAZY THING IS I DID 5 STRAIGHT TAKES.. THIS WAS THE.SECOND ONE WHICH.I DIDN'T LIKE AT THAT MOMENT BUT ENDED UP LIKING IT MORE AS I LISTENED MORE AND MORE OF IT! I WAS TIRED!!

  • Harout, this is fantastic playing! I am amazed at how your wrists seem to stay flexible and relaxed. I have a lot of finger dexterity, but I would have to be hauled off on a stretcher with frozen wrists if I tried to play this damn thing.

    Your friend Steven from facebook.

  • @nyc88s THANK YOU STEVEN!!! ITS DEFINITELY NOT AN EASY TASK OR WAS I SHOULD SAY... I DONT THINK I'LL EVER PLAY IT AGAIN!! I NEVER PERFORMED IT LIVE EITHER :( I JUST WANTED TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO PUT IT UP HERE AFTER THE MIDI FILE WAS UP FOR A WHILE! LUCKY ENOUGH TO KNOW THE CHANGES IN A COUPLE OF BARS FROM THE COMPOSER HIMSELF AND PICKED IT UP BY EAR BEFORE THE SCORE WAS EVEN RELEASED! BUT ANYWAY I SHOULD PLAY MORE ETUDES SOONER OR LATER, NEED TO PUT UP 5 AND 7 PRETTY SOON!

    Off topic, you really played the Beethoven Concerto 3 transcription?? (Alkanian)

  • Hey! I spent a good 2 weeks doing nothing else but this! It was gruesome!

  • Great! You join the ranks of only a handful of people in the world that can play this piece well!

  • AMAZING. BRAVO

  • I feel like this would be a good performance if it didn't sound like it was recorded with a potato. Please invest in a better microphone, or at least record the audio and video separately, then combine!

  • Verdegrand sent me! This is insane. Now I want to play, hah. Where did you get sheets from?

  • I'm learning this, and i can barely get to 1:20 before my hands start cramping up..

    I applaud you!

    >_________<.

    Hopefully I can play this one day!

  • Well played, sir! That ain't easy!

  • @lchigoe

    It's here on Youtube ;)
