you don't need to write "AMATEUR pianist Ricker Choi performs....ecc".. ;)

in this piece u shoul be judged with the same parameters with we normally judged a Professional pianist. Sometimes the line that divides professional and amateur musician is not so evident..this is the case ;) good technique, and originality of interpretation :) (in you, i would "dare" a little bit more )

[doowlehc]

o hey I posted a more recent rendition of this same piece. If you search for my name you can find it. I hope this newer version, 3 years later, is better and more 'daring'.

What do you practise, tecnique-wise, to get that explosive power in your fingertips? I know it would take countless hours, over years... but I'm a pianist myself and I WANT that lol.

[doowlehc]

hey sorry i was away from vacation... thanks for your comment regarding 'explosive power' haha... first time heard this description about my playing. thanks! the 'explosive power' doesn't just come from finger tips - it comes from your arm, support from body core, and back muscles. u working with a teacher?

I have to say for an Amateur this is more than excelent. And to think all the other people call them selfes Musicians or pros,thou they are zero in tallent,brain and soul.

[doowlehc]

To be fair, I must say the beginning was too fragmented. If I have the chance to re-record it, I will play it more 'flowing'. But I still like the middle section when it slowed down a bit and accelerated.

LET'S BE FRANK:

Any Pianist who can play this work deserves honor and accolade. We can argue menutiae and we do. But playing this work musically is an astonishing achievement.

Dude it's not a bad version, it says in the description that he's an amateur, and it's still pretty good considering the piece he is playing, Valentina Lisitsa is like possessed or something <_<;

[lllllllllllllll88]

Awesome! Your friend Thang just referred me to your channel, and wow. I like it very much. This is great playing. Pretty powerful too at times. Nice.

Best rendition of this piece I have heard on youtube, both musically and technically. And you don't play it like you're trying to play it as fast as you can which is what happens a lot with this piece. Well done.

awesome job man

[RichieGB]

dude - i like what you did with the piece! Way cool!

As a famous musician who shall remain nameless would say, "power has to come from your bum, push from your bum"...

[AngelinaTaylor]

Hey, there's SOMEONE who knows what they're talking about. Finally. It's hard to find such people in here.

[AngelinaTaylor]

Why would I be jelaous of someone who, all the time, gives more emphasis on technique rather than music? You don't know who I am or what I do or how I play or where I study or who I study with.. so you can't really judge me. I'm allowed to not like something.. get over it, all of you. Not everything has to be insanely fast - sometimes that carries a price.

[GetMeThere1]

I tend to have some agreement with you in general. But on this particular piece she certainly delivers something worth listening to.
