17 thought it was DIS I LIKE

I didn't think that this Chopin etude was that hard until I actually saw someone play it.

It fucking sucks to trill let alone play chromatic with your fourth and fifth finger.

I think it could possibly be easier to play it cross handed lol

It's funny to hear people describe this woman as a "national treasure" or object of immense value. She is a human too!

[MIKE1238673]

@bontempo01 oddly I feel the opposite! I found the op.25/11 initially challenging but now it feels completely natural under my hands - I found the same with many of his waltzes too, oh well - each their own!

[Phil1313131]

@tjtheplay You play it with your thrid fourth and fifth finger...And it just takes some time to get used to. What the real difficulty is, is the constant legato in three fingers of your hand and the staccato in the other two...

Hi! I just wanted to say this is great as usual. I was just wondering how You&Hubby&son liked the groovie goolies. This seems really funny, giving this to the best Pianist ever,but I still hope Ypu Liked some of that stuff just for fun. If You like to getup& go Gloria Estefan's WEPA is fun&Hotel Nacional is fun&funny.If You don't know how to getup&shake it,try Sade-Bellydancer. Just for fun.It would be nifty to hear from You sometime,like- of course I know who Tigger is You dodo.Prayers&Love Dan

(ctd. from below). Add to that the lyrical challenge of the very delicate melodic and harmonic colours that such Etudes have and you got yourself a particularly hard nut to crack. Wasn't there a saying along the lines of "Chopin Etudes: a player with crooked fingers will straighten them by practicing these pieces, but some other players are best kept on their guard against them"?

[bontempo01]

I would argue that this is a defining Etude in marking the difference between Chopin and Liszt. When you play a "tough" Liszt piece, many times it just "feels" right, things fall naturally in your fingers and hand. This is not at all what I personally experience whenever I start studying a new Chopin Etude: it feels quite awkward in the beginning (and sometimes down to the very end, after months and months of practice!) because it just challenges your hands to adopt weird positions. Like here.

hmm

[Musicownz1997]

@eazygoingbloke I agree with you, however a lot of the time there is simply no fingering that you can use, like for some of Franz Liszt's pieces. You just gotta make up something that works for you and doesn't mess up the rhythm.

my 4th and 5th fingers are breaking down when practice this piece
