The last of Alkan's minor key etudes set. I make an attempt at it. Obscenely difficult music from a technical standpoint.

  • someone comment me.

    whos the best playing this? i wanna hear an accurate playing

  • On youtube, try the one by Edward Cohen (user edjacoh) - it is very good. CD recordings: Hamelin, Lewenthal, Roma or Gibbons, depending on your tastes.

  • Good god, reading through the comments anyone would think this was terrible, he's an amatuer pianist by his own admission!. I don't care about the wrong notes or the correct phrasing, I think this is fantastically played. Bravo alkanlizst, I wish i could play it this well!

  • Because people today are open to new music. We've seen enough Chopin everywhere. Everyone knows about him and he sounds great but Alkan just brings out a new kind of music.

  • Bravo! I think that you did a really good job. Although you made mistakes, and were sort of tense the entire time that you were playing, I believe that you presented it wonderfully. You also did not stretch the tempo at the end to its maximum like Igor Roma did. I commend you for being able to handle such an extremely difficult piece.

  • @PianistSang oh and i suppose you are perfect at piano are you?

  • this is actually a very very very hard piece to play and he doenst do very much wrong

    most the wrong notes he plays arent actually wrong

    they are meant to sound that way

    so stop putting him down whoever dares to!

  • I feel bad for the page turner who has to keep up with this instead of just enjoy it.

  • Bravo !!!

  • I like 3:52

  • Awesome performance, Great technique

  • LOVE ALKAN!!!GREAT JOB!!

  • PLEASE, someone explain to me where some of you find the, (excuse the lack of a better word), "balls" to critique hamelin of all people... [side note]pianistsang... really!? ... enjoy the music, and respect the artist ..
