Marshall Harrison Piano: Paul Schloezer Etude 2 op.1

This is the perfect etude certainly on par with Chopin's technically but not as original. At times it seems to exceed some of Chopin's etudes as far as virtuosic grandeur. This piece was used by Rachmaninoff as a warm up so apparently he thought much of it too. You can hear this played professionally on itunes and you can even download Josef Lhevinne playing the extremely rare Schloezer etude 1 op1.

Any guitarists want to transcribe this piece for economy/legato guitar?

[RozarSmacco]

I use a ECONOMY ideas from guitar on the piano! to play this very difficult etude. Jazz pianists have been doing it forever ie sliding from black to white keys. I find that this technique saves much trouble especially during the left hand arpeggios in the middle section. But there's lots of right hand sliding too throughout the entire piece. Plus it adds a certain graceful natural legato to the overall sound. Economize your Motion (everywhere!)

What the hell? The utmost respect to you Mr Harrison. An amateur playing the Paul de Scloezer etude op1 no 2, that's something I wouldn't expect to see.

What's next? Alkan's concerto for solo piano?

[RozarSmacco]

@PolyakovAction many many thanks. As a matter of fact, it's true I have been practicing the third mvt of Alkan's Concerto for solo piano lately! LOL

@hairlessdog101 Everything I say is obvious & correct, just like the fact U must B fat & ugly, as they typically do your retarded 'kill-the-messenger' dance instead of growing a spine & gaining control of their own damn arms so they stop shoveling house-loads of krap into their face 2 become 'land whales' like the cat in this clip.

@DuralastTurbo really? Fuck off.

[MagpieRising]

@DuralastTurbo XD I like the way you think.

[aardvaark069]

Such an underrated and lovely piece and you took what you could do with it and made music out of it too. bravo

[DuralastTurbo]

It's amazing so much talent could come from a fat ugly tub of krap =)) That's Y U R not famous I guess. + U R boring, unlike Meatloaf, who is dramatic in presentation. U R more like a statue, & of course the fashion.

Love it! You are truly gifted, dexterously. But always keep in mind - it is all about the pacing, Brother.  Milk it... breathe it out of your longing soul, own it, play it as if you were birthing it before us... Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Legato! :)

[RediForKing]

Isn't it this that piece Rachmaninoff used to play for warming up?

[PetarAtanasov87]
