  • My favorite performance of this piece on YouTube!

  • @dchneric who cares, she did a beautiful job.

  • Also, the 4 on 6 or 2 over 3, however you're looking at it, shouldn't be too hard at all... The first note of the left hand lines up perfectly with the first note of the right hand, as well as the 3rd note of the left hand and the 4th note of the right hand. You can let your hands guess in between, or with the 2 on 3 it can be perfected as the 2nd eighth note of the left hand falls exactly halfway between the 3rd and 4th triplet.

    The hardest thing is bringing the melody (and countermelody).

  • "The anacrusis (non-melody part) is pure weight transfer." - Yes. Definitely. This is crucial. Or else you'll develop arthritis before you can perform this. Also, it allows the melody to be easily distinguishable from this light yet dextrous playing.

    "practice slowly and lightly with broken chords...then gradually increase the tempo under control." - No. Playing this song slowly versus quickly requires two completely different techniques/mechanisms. In my opinion, faster and lighter is easier.

  • I disagree about the tempo - it should NOT be faster. The Chopin etudes are nearly always played too fast. I am sick of a lifetime of performances where the pianists play like little robots, rushing through the etudes one after another with no sense of line, obsessed with trying to prove how great they are technically while the music gets buried. . This one above all should have breadth and amplitude, with a subtle rubato. Her playing of it is incandescent and beautiful

    beyond words. Bravo!

  • Wow. Lisitsa plays it much faster. In fact, she plays almost everything much faster. However, I like these performances much more. She plays these very intimately and pays a great deal of attention to phrasing and voicing. Exquisite.

  • Very beautiful, thanks; and I'm sorry but you missed 12 notes at 2:20.

  • Bravoooo!!! She played op 25 nr 1 very similar to Rubinstein: The same rubato and tempo. Most pianists, including lisitsa played it too fast. This is one of my favorite etudes,

  • this piece is unbelievable beautiful

    real harp sounds calm realxing and romantic

    Big thanks
