Warm thanks for positive winds from Scotland - likewise, happy winds blow to you from Finland!

Agreed. It sounded “just right” the first time I heard it.

Thank you very much for your comment. As a pianist, I find this composition very challenging, and the difficulty seems to be psychological: how to dare to face such pure and bare feeling without running away, hiding or cutting it off in one way or another - especially in front of others. I've done them all, and experienced this kind of fear many, many times... But I think it's really normal and human:) All in all - this composition is exceptionally intimate in nature!

Agreed! That’s why this beautiful interpretation went straight to my heart and sounded “just right.”

Thank you for your kind and important words, Eric. They also remind of the wondrous feature of music; for its precious ability to support us to live through our moods. Jasmin

@@villajasmin9291 You’re most welcome, Jasmin. I get inspired by inspiring musical performance such as your deeply felt performance of Chopin’s Etude in E Minor Op. 28 No. 4. We have two recordings of this piece, one on LP and a different one on CD. Neither come close to matching the profound depth and pathos of your performance. First, both are shorter, and second, neither play the last three chords in a way that causes you to wish the music wouldn’t stop and leave you in a state of, I’m not sure how else to explain this except to say, mystic tranquility. Should you decide to release this on any medium other than U- tube, I would love to add this to our ever growing recorded music library. My overall reaction to your unique performance is that it perfectly captures what must have been Chopin’s intent in writing this ineffably profound music. P.S. I noticed the performance isn’t included on your recent CD release. Please make our day by saying that you will include it on your next CD. I’m sure there are many others who were moved in a similar way that I was. Fredrick Chopin himself would be moved by your performance. Cordially regards @eric.brunnich5272

😘😘

Thank you:) I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you for your comment, and yes, I’m sorry for the singing! But that is how a little story was born, about a musical lesson and ”singing until your instrument takes over” (there is more about this in the description box above). For me this singing is a way to explore and always feel the musical directions, the different levels of colors, the natural forward flowing of music etc; at the same time it also seems to drop out musically pointless and unnecessary "interpretive tricks”. As you said, some memorizing indeed must be happening (I hadn’t thought about that).

No, it actually isn't. In bars 41-45, the G naturals are found in the manuscript of Chopin himself, and in the first French edition (1840), respectively. The flats are added only in few later editions (Preference: Henle Urtext Edition, 1983, p. 135). Being notoriously very accurate with his music, Chopin would have likely been aware of using E flat major instead of minor. Furthermore, Chopin used bolder harmonies compared to his contemporaries - so maybe G naturals in those particular bars were too much for them?

Thanks for your suggestion. The third one can actually be found on my debut album "Drawn with Autobigraphite" and also the complete Chopin's Trois nouvelles études. In my opinion, if I may say, the interpretations on the disc are more advanced versions compared to my youtube performances, maybe also more mature and refined - especially the first étude in F minor, which I am particularly pleased with. (A small glimpse of the third etude is heard in the teaser, the links are found in the description box)

Thank you in return for being someone I can share with - for listening and your comment!

I’m not sure if I understood you correctly, but in triplet (of eighth notes) versus two eighth notes: the first note of the triplet and the first eighth note always come at the same time. The second eighth note falls exactly between the second and the third note of the triplet. When practicing with thought and concentration, the triplet finally spreads evenly, simply and elegantly over the eighth notes like a fan, in an even pulse :)

@@villajasmin9291 Oh thanks. Your explanation is precise. I'm trying to learn piano self taught

Thank you Emiliano for your thought and comment! It means a lot. Perhaps it was the Scriabin one that became more personal.

Okay! I take it as a compliment on my etude :)

It’s neither. It would be more accurately classified as a prelude. It’s also not cut time, btw. Nor have you even bothered to actually put it in the correct key signature.

To the cameraman: Try not to run around so much with the camera - I got dizzy! Two or three fixed cameras would be better.

Thank you Joachim for your feedback - I’m happy that my version got your attention! As for the camera, we might have more advanced equipment in the future:)

True!! If she had taken much notice of what the composer probably wrote, then the following passage would not have sounded so harsh on the ears!!

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad if the étude could be useful to you! If you wish, you can download a free promo sheet music from my website (www.villajasmin.fi, can be found directly on the front page in connection with the video). Happy New Year 2023!

Thank you Gordon for your comment, I understand your point. I listened to my interpretation with a critical ear. I think, at this point in time, I would still resort to the same interpretive solutions, with living up to the beauty of the chords - why not also meditative - in a natural pulse, but also with a certain fulfillment of the harmonies. Of course, no interpretation is written in stone, and may differ in another moment, or stage of life. After all, all I can do is to search for my own interpretative truth, within the score.

You know you have succeeded as a composer if Liszt wants to hear your piece as his last

@@user-hu3iy9gz5jChopin is better than Liszt so I don’t get what you mean

Will, I am very happy to hear this! Thank you for your comment! Jasmin

And 2 more for his feet

❤

Thank you for beautiful roses!

Thank you for your thoughts - a valuable reflection for me as an artist - and noticing ”Violet”, who is happy to be seen and heard! Jasmin

G natural is definitely wrong in bars 41 and 45 according to the sheet music above and also according to the Schirmer edition of Chopin's etudes. Both show it as G flat.

That's this study's particular flavour. Longing

Same here! One hundred percent 😅

Wait. There is an inconstistency regarding the numbering of this étude in the set of the Nouvelles Études. Some sources cite this one as being No. 2 and some as No. 3. Are you sure you are not playing the other one, in D-flat major?

​@@AG-fl3klYes, also with you, are you sure you are playing the right étude?

@@Henri.d.Olivoir I'm pretty sure they know if they're playing a different composition dude lmao

@@Tulanir1 Yeah, that's why I think it correlates, since he highlighted the fact that the piece he's playing sounds *NOTHING* like this one
