@gsarci2011 of course, yes! But this is only an extract of the Nikolaï Lugansky 's concert at the Verbier Festival!

@FKCOBW Chopin's Etudes are considered the pinnacle of piano technique, not repertoire. The etudes break down fundemental techniques for pianists to learn unlike Liszt who put a mesh of things and made them harder. Say for instance, Chopin has an etude where the whole focus is on octaves, another on black keys, one on mixed rhythm and another several on hand rotations and semi-quavers. Liszt doesn't cover those in specific details, he meshes a ton of technique at once.

Lugansky is amazing, at everything he plays.

@Dihelson There's no real reason to play them though. I believe there was someone who (can't remember where I exactly heard it) put it best when they said, "What's the point when Chopin said more with half the notes."

[Dihelson]

The "Epitome" of piano technique are GODOWSKY´s Etudes on Chopin´s Etudes. That is REALLY difficult to play correctly. Chopin´s etudes are child play compared to them.

PRETTY ADMIRABLE ATTEMPT (FOR A MERE MORTAL) TO CHASE DOWN KISSIN - LUGANSKY SHOULD BE PROUD - BUT REMEMBER KISSIN HAS THE FINGERS OF GOD, AND THERE IS SOMETHING FUNKY SUPERNATURAL HAPPENING THERE, SINCE GOD IS SHOWING OFF HIS BEST WORK IN THESE LAST DAYS - AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN INTO KISSIN SINCE THE BEGINNING, WE KNOW THAT KISSIN RIPPED THROUGH THOSE LISZT ETUDES AT ABOUT AGE 15 BETTER THAN ANYONE EVER HAS, OR PROBABLY EVER WILL AGIAN !!!
