Please, don't call this Etude "song". Nobody is singing.

[MrEdwarddamon]

"No dynamics" "Rhetorical quality"

All I hear is "Blah blab blah."

You're too busy trying to criticize an undeniable professional in her field to hear and feel the power, emotion, freedom, and epic-ness this piece conveys. She is playing it with power, while the phrasing and melody of the piece is still absolutely clear. I don't think you understand how much thought and effort she puts into the piece, and understanding the composer's intentions behind the piece.

[PianoLove1968]

Wow, very good and the Bossendorfer piano looks to be an antique- ivory key tops, beautiful piano.

[hartistry]

Beautiful. As usual.

That still doesn't provide a sound basis for calling a piece "song" when in fact nobody sings. The musical piece has a proper term, and proper terms have to be, unfortunately, used rigidly. Performance of the piece is subjective, but the piece itself is objective.

Your disregard for proper terms just for the sake of expressing yourself can make other viewers, who might be curious about the way the piece should be called, learn the wrong term. That's misinformation at best.

[bassist4lif31]

words are open to interpretation.

[Phenylalanine22]

@andsasteeeg I see what your saying, but your arguing in the wrong direction. I sometimes may refer to a piano solo as a song, but not a song (in its literal sense) as a piano solo. Every word in the english language does not need to be used so rigidly.

Especially in Chopin's music, he plays the piano with such depth, elegancy, and emotion that it appears as if the piano is singing itself. I don't see how that can be insulting.

[LestraJo]

C'est un étude...et oui...

[andsasteeeg]

@Phenylalanine22 And by the way, you're actually using the word "song" in an utterly wrong context. If you still don't get what I've just said, look at my comments again.

Oh, and try to call a "concerto" a "song" as well. That would be even better. NOT. :P

@Phenylalanine22

My "logic is based from narrow mindedness"? Now look who's "narrow-minded". Someone insisting that an etude is a song, even though someone else differentiated those two "distinct" terms already. If you still don't see the technical difference between those two terms, then pity you.

"Calling a jet a train is a little over the top". That's the same thing that you did with the words etudes and songs. Now If I call "I Have Nothing" an "etude", would that mean the same thing? Duh.
