BTW,,,for those that think that these are single not scales: you're wrong. These fast runs are all two notes simultaneously ...a third apart. Basically, almost impossible to play fast.
This piece is an athletic exercise...scary to even look at the sheet music!

Bravo!!

very good. too much rubato tho i agree

I can't stand this crazy rubato.
The trill is nice and all, but is it necessary to fluctuate and fuck around the rhythm so much? Like Rubinstein said, rubato is like the swinging of a tree-branch, you can't do it so excessively.
And this piece you need a solid rhythmic structure, that's why you have left hand chords giving you the beat.
Just because it is 'romantic period' piece doesn't mean you have the liberty to do whatever the hell you want. Glad she didn't win.

@demosj Oddly enough, whilst watching this I remembered Rachmaninoff's comment. But what I think he actually said concerning Cortot's playing was that 'When things become difficult he becomes more expressive'. Which could be said for many pianists including the above, few can achieve an even tempo.

Pour moi -les yeux fermés- c' est un régal: du "CHOPIN"! Sans chercher des comparaisons, sans cesse! BRAVO !!!

@rickideemus Not always. Ever read Rachmaninoff's joke poking fun at Cortot's technique; when hearing Cortot over the radio that he got "more and more musical" while playing the op. 10, no. 8, of course by which he meant he was really slowing down more and more?

one of the hardest among chopin etude. how to say. the right hand, difficult extremely difficult.
Very free, expressive, imaginative, vividly colored, exotic --- even dramatic. It's not just a stunt, it's MUSIC. How novel in a piece this incredibly challenging! Horowitz and Rubinstein never recorded it, many other well-respected artists avoid it like the plague when making up recital programs.
This rendition does sound a bit spasmodic, but that lends character to the interpretation. This girl is a great MASTER of piano technique - truly AT ONE with the instrument.
I'd like it SLOWER
