  • PIANIST CECILE LICAD IS FASTER THAN SPEEDING BULLET

    "Cecile Licad plays the piano as if she were carrying the Olympic flame: Faster ! Higher ! And if there were an athletic event for sheer pianism, this small but formidable pianist would surely win in the 'quickest arpeggios' and 'most thundering octaves' categories." [Article by Melinda Bargreen dated June 14, 1994]

  • The piano sound is on the bright side. While it is more suitable to the sparkling and glittery music of Chopin & Lizst, it does produce some metallic blare in heavy chordal writing for the right hand in the etude. It is obvious that CL was not playing the etude as classroom exercise but as a battle cry of an oppressed people with all the power and the passion at her disposal. Playing this etude noteperfect at that tempo and involvement would be superhuman or nonhuman.

  • Cecile Licad is my inspiration. I can now play that! I love Chopin too. though well yeah she's skilled & faster than me; mine is like 3mins long. :D but anyway I wanna be like her when I grow up.

  • Cecile licad is the best!! Galling talaga mga Pilipino! :)))

  • im surprised she has such flabby arms (batwings)... don't pianists use their arms all the time? i was really expecting very tones arms.. such a downer

  • @angelloxi: well.. it's the EMOTION that Ms. Cecile Licad wants to emphasize.

    Frederic Chopin made this piece when the time Russia went to poland for WAR.

    Chopin wants to express his emotions to the russians because of their plans that's why it's fast and IT is like FIGHTING in the WAR!

    Can't you hear the piece is MAD at the start and the middle, it says that the countries should not fight!

    ok?

  • Very Fast
