The time signature is an illusion, the true time signature is 6/4, it's 3/4 is there for the sake of readability. There's 2 beats ber measure, split in 3 parts.
The most strict ¾ reading of this piece I have ever heard!! Amazing voicing as well. I have attempted it couple of years ago as well but never try on the stage (my version is on my channel)
@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz "imo" you don't know what you are talking about. No one in his right mind places Godowsky's versions musically above the originals. I love what he did with these pieces technically and harmonically, but the originals will always be superior. Take the first one, for instance: Godowsky version is over the top and bombastic, but technically brilliant, of course. With Chopin's piece, the arpeggios are much more musical and pleasing to the ear, the octaves working perfectly with them.

You are the only one that make understand the 3/4 time signature, something that not even Hamelin does for taking so much time in the jumps between chord and high note

Hi @GICM, since you seem to pretty much be the biggest expert on my difficulty system, could I ask you for help compiling the rankings on a project that I'm working on? Send me your email if you're interested
For a guy with 10 thousand subscribers and a massive following outside of that I'm surprised you haven't invested in a decent sound recorder to get past this ghastly compressed phone audio!
@@calebhu6383 If you're still looking for a recorder or audio set up just get a Zoom H1n! Cheap as heck for the amount of things you can do and the quality you get while doing them! I've used one for 7 years, best bang for the buck and usability!
@@calebhu6383 Actually the only recording where you can hear the left hand clearly is Pianisthetics where he plays the piece slower and with little pedal. Which is respectable in its own right
No "stellar recordings" of many of these pieces? That made me laugh! How about Hamelin's complete set, or Grante's. Who are you compared to these two giants, especially Hamelin? No one.
I think this might be the best Godowksy No.1 recording because I can actually feel the time signature lol
This one my fav ruclips.net/video/AsuUT8uHp3c/видео.html

@@Whatismusic123and why didn't you call this one 6/8 if it's compound meter? 😢
Damn, I need to redo mine with faster jumps for correct time signature lol. I can now hit the jumps accurately in time.
I just realized that this is my third C major recording in a row. Whoops. So I guess next up is Schumann or Schubert's Fantasy?
can you try an alkan etude as well? id love to see your intepretation of comme le vent
Schubert's Fantasy please
Maybe Busoni's piano concerto 💀
@@composerjalen Based
Play Schumann's fantasy but break your hand to make it funnier
Caleb Hu- one of the most natural pianists that ever lived. This video is just one example of proof of this fact.
My man casually dropping recordings of difficult pieces one after another
0:48 WTF

I just love the "Daa-da-da-daa-daa" highlited motive in this etude
Beautiful
Wow that was glorious, I love the octaves!
guy just casually drops a godowsky etude without any reason lol
No lie I learned this on a bet 💀
@@calebhu6383 c maj c maj c maj...
Incredible performance of this etude, also obligatory "based ossia passage" remark is in order
This is the first time I saw someone played it live on RUclips. This is great !
There's video of Hamelin.
@@imdarealani Even though he doesn't play the octaves, the Hamelin recording is what inspired me to learn this
Michael Wu’s performance is live and also really good
omg great performance
absolutely love the octaves
imo this is the only godowsky study which sounds way better than the original piece
@@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz Agreeing with you would be blasphemy but I gotta say, the original piece sounds so much thinner after you hear this version
@@calebhu6383 i think it depends on who plays it. play it wrong and it sounds like a mess
@@ryzikx anything played wrongly sounds like a mess😃

jesus christ, that was great
Nice!!! one of my favorite chopin godowsky etudes. on my bucket list of pieces to learn
wow! absolutely love it!
Fantastic work trying to maintain the 3/4 time signature. Apart from this one, what are your other favourite Chopin-Godowsky studies?
No.4, no.42, no.47
@@calebhu6383 Good choices. Some of my other favourites are Nos. 2, 9, 18, 34, and 45

Yeah Hamelin plays it in one 7/4 measure instead of two 3/4 measures

Bravo!
Nice!
You are amazing
holy shit
Reason I love Godowski Chopin than the original etude:
Worth of a professional recording! Please do it :-) thanks a lot for sharing
not the biggest fan of the set but this particular arrangement i enjoy a lot
ossia == based
Have you played his Étude 42? For op 25 no 11.
oh fucj someone real actually played it
很好听！
Oh my god!! How many hours do I need to practice to be like you?
🤯
now ask ur bro to play this with a bass

@@calebhu6383 sure, just send to "ballade.in.goldberg.minor.no.2
Face and voice reveal when? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
How long did it take you to learn this?
great rendition, good to actually feel the time signature and I agree, the octaves are glorious.
3 weeks
3 weeks??? Your built different😵💫
@@calebhu6383 Thats the same i needed to learn Chopins first scherzo. But this is harder.
noice
Do you have any advive for the flabbergastingly quick c major octaves?
Move your elbow and arm along with it, keep the wrist loose, play on a nice piano. Idk
@@calebhu6383 thank you for your anwer!
he does not take Ls eh
How often do you lift the pedal?
Is there any other performance of this with the octaves besides you and Adam Englund?
Michael Wu, I believe
I did 😊

I've used one for 7 years, best bang for the buck and usability!
How did you learn this so quickly?
Truth is I already had the harmonies memorized from 10-1 so it was pretty natural to get from there to muscle memory
Wow that octaves.
btw it seems you play those arpeggios very quietly and accent particular notes.
Is that on purpose?
Yes, so you can feel the 3/4 time signature
man i wish this had better recording wuality because rn the left hand notes are like really hard to listen to clearly they just sound like a smudge
To tell you the truth, it's very hard to get any kind of clarity from the left hand since it's in the low register
@@calebhu6383 True Hamelin has good recording quality but his left hand is also mostly just sound
@@jameswang606 The key is to not hit wrong notes and muddy up the pedal texture
@@calebhu6383 Actually the only recording where you can hear the left hand clearly is Pianisthetics where he plays the piece slower and with little pedal. Which is respectable in its own right
@@jameswang606 I listened to Carlo Grante's which is slower and doesn't follow the time signature, but the left hand is remarkably clear.
Bruh
This is fucking impressive! Still dislike this piece tho
No "stellar recordings" of many of these pieces? That made me laugh! How about Hamelin's complete set, or Grante's. Who are you compared to these two giants, especially Hamelin? No one.
I retract that statement, Hamelin's full set is quite good! I didn't know it existed because Hyperion usually blocks his recordings.
@@calebhu6383 what do you think about Stanhope's?
@@GICM Very fast, but kinda messy especially the second half. Also no sense of the time signature. Haven't listened to his other etudes
Shut up boomer
Jesus, Frank, take it easy.
Didn't know you were at this level lol, what a nice surprise. Good job :)
nvm didn't see you covered schumann toccata LMAO
