Chung Lee plays Chopin, Etudes: Op. 10, No. 6; Op. 25, No. 2 during the preliminaries of the fifth International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs on May 30, 2007.
Well, this is my opinion on what I would change and I do say that it is "good on the whole" , don´t I ? In 25:2 he is better than me but I still think that both he ( and me too ) plays a little bit uneven, unfortunately the sound is not very good, it might be the reason. I do not have anything to blame but poor technique :)
10.6: Kind of stereotype phrasing in the beginning, some notes are too much stressed, intersting tempo change but too much volume about 2.10, good on the whole.
25.2: A little uneven...left hand too loud ( bad recording? )
Op. 10 NO. 6 is harder than it sounds. I tried to play this when I was age 10, but the balance and sound was ALL WRONG. Just because the notes may be easier to play than many of the Chopin etudes does not mean that it is easy by any stretch of the imagination!
Chopin is the Poet of the Piano but also a hard taskmaster, for to get the melody out, he embelishes it with every kind of technical difficulty and often melody and accompaniment join forces to trip up the unwary. I enjoyed this performance very much !.

he plays the etudes really well.... but why are you focussing so much on the mistakes? i prefer to focus on the actual playing
