Maksim plays this piece incredibly well, far better than most pianists who just bang it out to try and sound impressive, Maksim plays firm, but not hard, and the instrumental backing is superb, as it compliments the piece without overshadowing the piano. Not many people realize that Maksim can play better than most classical pianists who attempt this song, and he plays it with such ease. An outstanding performance, modern classical music.
Chopin is my favorite composer, and this is my favorite piece...and Maksim did a FINE job. I loved it. I'm glad people like him are trying to bring the music back to the forefront of popular culture.
i like the fact he went wild w/this piece. And the drummer is fabulous too. I like the interpretation.Maxsim's a fine pianist. He doesn't discredit any of the musicians whose compositions he plays. He plays with respect. The old masters would approve.
a heaven sent arrangement. Maxsim shines. The drummer is fabulous in this piece. I specially liked the ''new & improved'' updated version. kudos to the arranger.
Amazing.. He turns the original into a more upbeat Maksim version. Rare to get good pianists that can do things like this nowadays, totally worth following...
Listen, to all of the people who think that this modernized composition by Maksim is crap, don't listen to it. The original version is out there for you to listen to. To be quite honest, I don't understand the hatred that is going around about Maksim and his modernized compositions, he knows how to make the original song thrive with life by adding his own style of playing, and having an altered if not similar orchestra playing along with him. The original was thriving with life too,and this too.
If you love Chopin you should be happy and thankful that young artists are turning to him for inspiration. Creating&recreating on the work of others is part of our humanity and of our evolution as artists.Those who criticize are frustrated (or sitting at home doing nothing). Go out and give your contribution,get a life. Or go and listen to Martha Argerich and the others, there are plenty of classical versions. I will listen to everyone and enjoy each one for what they are.So shut up and enjoy!
This talented musician is bringing classical music to people who would probably never consider going to a classical concert , and who because of his music , may consider doing so in the future . Those who critize his efforts are those elitists ( or think they are ) think classical music should only be performed in its purest form . My advice to those people , If you don't like it , don't listen to it . As my Mother used to say , if you cannot say anything nice about someone , say nothing ..
I don't get one thing, if you hate his work, why do you even listen to him? in my opinion, he is the best piano player I have ever heard and his hand moves are magnificent...:)
Thanks, Maksim! It's not easy pies of music and I like your arrangements . It's look so fresh and will attract youngest. Bravo, maestro! and good luck! Tatyana Chorna
Exactly, and Maksim is perfectly able to play the original piece. He has won classical contests. How many people approach classical music by other ways (ex : TV, marketing at TV for goods etc) without knowing that it comes from classical one ? Maksim has found certain fans, he has right to propose other things, and this interpretation proves that Chopin was not so a "has been" compositor. It's the same thing when Pavarotti sung classical music using modern version. Who critizes him ?
cfwpiano, Merely a matter of perception. I personally like that he merged this piece into a collaborative effort instead of just another solo rendition of the same freaking song that geniuses like Horowitz have already dominated.
@cajundude09 it is not just the scale. He plays all of his pieces passionately, he put himself into his music. That is the difference between a good player and an AMAZING player.
lol@ negative comments. Sit back comfortably without being infront of an audience while they listen for one wrong note. Performance isn't about technical perfection. If it was, there'd be WAY more people up on stage. This is an arrangement if you can't think of anything better to say. Chopin is dead. This guy brings his stuff back to life. I don't think Chopin would be complaining.
I disagree with the people who say that Maksim is an average pianist. Sure his orchestra does a lot of the work at this concert, but technically he is really good. If you watch his version of the Bumble-Bee you will see what I mean. That, the passion he has for his music and the whole entourage makes him a great musician.
The core dexterity in ds piece is more in the left hand...but speed is always desirable on both hands -- czerny, duvernoy, bertini, & hanon - are strong preparatory hand dexterity & speed exercises, i guess, before embarking on our ambition to play d great Revolutionary Etude by chopin..great rendition here by the artist Maksim! great vid, big thankz!
it sounds great and exotic in a way....it doesn't even matter about what he wears or what he plays on the stage...but at least he's made some efforts in turning the song into something unique...have some love, people!
To all of you classical purists...don't come here to expect your "pure" version of the piece. This is how an artist changes the music to bring it to his own audience. You don't have to be in it .. just respect the joy that he bring to his audience. You can go listen to your more pure, more obscure classical pianist.. right? you probably have a stricter requirement for what you would enjoy or not.. well.. more power to you. Just Go ... don't bother espousing your authority here. No one listens !
I like the classical version much better, but this is very inovative and creative I´m sure there are a lot of people who are invited to classical music by this way of the guy playing... nothing wrong with that, good job
I don't understand why people think that classical pianos by Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, and Mozart (mostly these, but not limited to these composers), should only be played as solo piano EXACTLY the way the composer wrote them! Geez give these people a break! They make a great rearrangement of them!!
wtf lol.... music is a perpetual change.... he would apreciate the fact he is still played.... in a classic or a modern way... and this guy knows how to play... i play piano, and this piece is a monster to play, really.... enjoy his talent...
I think, he knows the original piece is way better.. because it's romantic... but i think he did a great job, on adding this stuff to the piece... most people think he tried to make this better, or something like that, but i think he did this for fun or for doing something different, at least... and i really like it.
Music evolves in every generation . I read the top comment here and I think he is a narrow-minded person . You don't use your eyes to judge a musical masterpiece . You have to use your ears, heart, and your soul . If you can't accept the fact that he can play a masterpiece that is not like the ones that you traditonally knew then go listen to a record disk .
you all say maksim is a horrible piano player and you hate his work, but I think that you're being close-minded here. I play piano and I love his work. There's nothing wrong with taking old songs and modernizing them, it takes skill to do that. If you must hate the work then don't put down the piano player, he didn't arrange the work. he plays the original versions of all these songs, you can see them on youtube. Listen to some of his other works that aren't remakes of old classical pieces.
Virtuoso?? Good joke. He rearranged one of the hardest etudes (next to Op 10 Nr 4) written by Chopin and definitly one of the top ten hardest etudes. I could learn his version in 2 days probably so easy is it...
Dude as much as I think it is kind of a disgrace to Chopin, I think this is pretty freakin sweet. I never thought Id say this but I love the keyboard echo of the exposition/main theme. The magic about art is that it cant be confined to standards or rules or w/e. That was the whole point of Romanticism (beginning with Beethoven). It's about breaking the rules, breaking trends, and just going with it.
He reminds me of me. This is a controversial thing to do. I appreciate this man's boldness and original thinking. I don't think any one should hate on him. This was an awesome interpretation.
I like the way he expresses himself (including what he wears) and I like how he plays. He can dress and play however he wants. He's classically trained but also plays crossover and changes the music to his will. You can't please everybody no matter how good you are. So if you don't like it, quit complaining and don't watch. He's definitely better than you though ;)
When you buy any classical pianist's CD of recordings of classical composers music, you are buying THEIR version/interpretation of that piece of music. They aren't making any claims to it being their original composition, simply their interpretation. Plenty of other pianists include their own improvisations in classical works and that's essentially no different from what Maxim is doing here. The beauty of having this freedom is that he can play it how he likes and you can choose not to listen.
@zdlrrebel I agree! Compositions are to be played with, not shut away behind bulletproof glass so that we can only gaze upon them. If this performance is part of what the arranger felt when he read the original music, more power to him for putting it out there and trying to reach a broader audience. Some people today might like this, but not care so much for the original, or they simply may not know Chopin. This does not degrade Chopin's work in any way, in fact it potentially brings new fans.
I really like it. So there. Call me crazy, I like what he's done with it. I like the original as well, but this is different. You can't really compare. Just take it how it is. Awesome.
We never really know what Chopin would think about this pianist or what he did whith Chopin's compositions! Never! Ever! Chopin is not here and left his works to the future and humanity... Liszt I'm sure would liked, because he was a man beyond time... It sounds good to our years and eyes, so it's good enough for me! Thanks (from Brazil).
THAT IS CORRECT..... if you do not like to listen to this guy playing, then turn it off. And if you can do better than him, then do it. HE IS FANTASTIC, he has the right to do his own style, so do not find fault with him.
Probably not what Chopin intended but a good musician like this has the ability to take something composed by a master - a perfected piece - and improve it/ change it into something entertaining
@tomipiano How can you say that? What he's done is not an insult, but a highlight of the genius that is Chopin. If you can't accept change, then just don't listen. This is an outlet for people that might otherwise never be interested in classical at all--a *good* thing.
This is why classics should remain just that, classics. works of art like this should be cherished not decimated. But unfortunately in this society we must "update" things that are out of date, they cant be left alone for the sake of the true musical experience. If chopin intended his song to be heard like this he would have wrote it this way.
I never listen to the original version, and after listening to the original version, i must say the maksim version is better, he turned classics to pop music... :)
Não conhecia este pianista! Estou encantada!!! A forma que ele toca, a emoção, a paixão que demostra pelo que faz é emocionante! Além disto, o seu visual quebra todos os rótulos do que é ser um excelente pianista! Ele toca para o mundo, para todos!!! Amei!!!! Criss Kersting (Porto Alegre/Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil)
Absolutely right! All the great composers improv'd and made translations of existing works in their time, early covers if you will. Chopin, as a great example, was seen as HIGHLY controversial in his time but with retrospect we appreciate him as a phenomenal artist. Maksim will very possibly be regarded as such, we just don't know yet. Listen, Learn & Love, dear people, there is so much beauty in the world if we will only tune into it.
I strongly believe that he is excellent enough to perform it as what a musician is supposed to do on stage. But it will be a bit boring cuz everybody plays the same piece without any obvious difference. Maksim made it fresher, and caught people's attention. He made the piece alive not ruined.
hey dont say that, he modernized the classial music for the younger people if you old farts want to listen to the original type it in. by the way Maskim for the win, you just inspired me to do the piano
Ya I completly agree with you.... the etude is a study for the right hand if he's not playing the right hand than the only reason would be cause' he's got a weak right hand...and no one say hes is cause hes only playing parts of the right hand...
Every piece of art is liable to the viewer's opinion. Even the composer would have been smug playing his piece. If you can play the piece, you have something to be proud of. It's easy to judge a pianist but unless you're the one on the chair, facing the piano, the view is very much different. Maksim is introducing the classics in a way to ensure the younger generation learn to appreciate it like him. If he doesn't play for himself and enjoy it, how can he expect others to feel the same?
Lindo , lindo , lindo.... E poderia encher páginas de lindo, lindo.... e não seria bastante para definir a beleza da performance de Maksim Mrvica e a beleza da música. 😍👏👏👏👏👏
Do you just want to 'monopoly' your classical, original music? Do you want this music never to be approached by the public? It's good attempt to meet classic. For too many people, classic is regarded as a difficult genre and very exclusive music. If Maksim didn't rearranged revolutionary etude and played it, how can people easily encounter 'classic'?
Ahh, People were probably screaming like this when JS Bach's sons changed from the Baroque period to the classical period, and created a crossover. Now their works are regarded as some of the greatest masterpieces.
@DeliusAlkan it wasnt written due to russian occupation,but due to his life,due to his struggle,suffering of life and it was generally composed by chopin as any revolution...
I can lighten up perhaps your right. The thing of it is is that there are people writing good classical music in our modern times. Our society doesn't like "complex" music. Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, whomever... They would not have written classical music. And if they did no one would listen to it. They all probably would have been Jazz musicians and been poorer and less famous in modern times than they were in their day.
u know what guys, just like beethoven and other composers. they tried to break rules, i mean they DID break a lot of rules. And it was a huge disrespect to the public. until such time they accepted it. so i think MAXIM did this just like any other composers have done before. Especially about the whole-tone and twelve-tone scale. MAXIM just wants us to hear a bit different kind of music and interpretation. NO OFFENSE TO EVERYONE OUT THERE
@pianistsan After a while it is.You play things that are at your level.After 10 years of playing piano you aren't going to go an learn something that you would have learned during your 5th year.Music isn't about proving you can play something difficult but after a while you have to play something challenging and when someone can accomplish and play something as challenging as this piece,I believe they deserve some credit.And this piece is not only technically challenging but emotionally as well.
i don't get why everyone should negatively judge his style just because it's different. Ok it's a classic chopin etude we all know that and i guess if not all, most people have heard the classical version. Well that's a different version which combines classical and techno.Don't listen to it if you don't like it and I bet his technique is beter than yours.Also, why does everyone think that every virtuoso pianist should wear a tuxedo? Maksim's got a different style. Like it or not, that's it.
Let me ask all you hateful posters a question. When you sit down to play a piece such as this, what do you see? What do you feel? If you do not see or feel anything but the notes and annotations on the page, then you've no business saying this musician's take on the piece is an abomination or a crime. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. There's no sense in being a jerk. Obviously there are people that like his take on it, otherwise there wouldn't be a video.
yes maksim is absolutly fabulous, BUT i objected to having the drums and violins in the background trying to takeover. When Chopin wrote this piece the Revolutionary Study he was distressed and very angry and it should be interpreted in the music, if his music is to live on pure
Maksim plays this piece incredibly well, far better than most pianists who just bang it out to try and sound impressive, Maksim plays firm, but not hard, and the instrumental backing is superb, as it compliments the piece without overshadowing the piano. Not many people realize that Maksim can play better than most classical pianists who attempt this song, and he plays it with such ease. An outstanding performance, modern classical music.
Skladbu jsem hrála na umělecké škole. ( Chopin, Revolucni etuda)
Krásné provedeni, Mistre !!! Děkuji.
☀️❤️☀️
His orchestration is magnificent! The more I see him perform, the more he mesmerizes. He makes the piano talk to him. Such a genius!
Chopin is my favorite composer, and this is my favorite piece...and Maksim did a FINE job. I loved it. I'm glad people like him are trying to bring the music back to the forefront of popular culture.
i like the fact he went wild w/this piece. And the drummer is fabulous too. I like the interpretation.Maxsim's a fine pianist. He doesn't discredit any of the musicians whose compositions he plays. He plays with respect. The old masters would approve.

mnogo mi se svidja ova aranžacija!!! Svaka čast! Pozdrav iz Poljske, zemlje velikog Chopina!
Amazing.. He turns the original into a more upbeat Maksim version. Rare to get good pianists that can do things like this nowadays, totally worth following...
A modern variation of chopin's music and it sounds good. I like it!
I love this modern rendition of one of my favourite pieces! I first heard Maxsim's version years ago and had to have it! Brilliant!
Listen, to all of the people who think that this modernized composition by Maksim is crap, don't listen to it. The original version is out there for you to listen to. To be quite honest, I don't understand the hatred that is going around about Maksim and his modernized compositions, he knows how to make the original song thrive with life by adding his own style of playing, and having an altered if not similar orchestra playing along with him.

he's good
the world wont come crushing down if someone doesnt like him
If you love Chopin you should be happy and thankful that young artists are turning to him for inspiration.

omg!!! you all stop criticizing! He plays very good, and if you prefer other versions, go listen to them and that's all!!!!!!

Lubię interpretacje utworów Chopina w Pana Mrvicy wykonaniu - pokazują ponadczasowość muzyki Chopina🎉😮😊
cfwpiano,
Merely a matter of perception. I personally like that he merged this piece into a collaborative effort instead of just another solo rendition of the same freaking song that geniuses like Horowitz have already dominated.

곡의구성부터 분위기까지 쇼팽은천재엿다... 무엇보다 이 곡은 혁명이란 제목말고다른제목은어울릴수가없을정도로 네이밍도퍼펙트고... 크로스오버로 살리기에좋은곡이나 어설프게크로스오버로연주하면 이도저도안될수도잇는데 완벽하네..
The core dexterity in ds piece is more in the left hand...but speed is always desirable on both hands -- czerny, duvernoy, bertini, & hanon - are strong preparatory hand dexterity & speed exercises, i guess, before embarking on our ambition to play d great Revolutionary Etude by chopin..great rendition here by the artist Maksim! great vid, big thankz!
it sounds great and exotic in a way....it doesn't even matter about what he wears or what he plays on the stage...but at least he's made some efforts in turning the song into something unique...have some love, people!

I like the classical version much better, but this is very inovative and creative
I´m sure there are a lot of people who are invited to classical music by this way of the guy playing...
nothing wrong with that, good job
I don't understand why people think that classical pianos by Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, and Mozart (mostly these, but not limited to these composers), should only be played as solo piano EXACTLY the way the composer wrote them! Geez give these people a break! They make a great rearrangement of them!!
wtf lol.... music is a perpetual change.... he would apreciate the fact he is still played.... in a classic or a modern way...
and this guy knows how to play... i play piano, and this piece is a monster to play, really.... enjoy his talent...
Maksim definely a real professional pianist.
He convert the classical style tp modern style of the piano performance.
I think, he knows the original piece is way better.. because it's romantic... but i think he did a great job, on adding this stuff to the piece... most people think he tried to make this better, or something like that, but i think he did this for fun or for doing something different, at least... and i really like it.

great mixture of Classical and Modern piano!
I don't understand why people are saying it is bad.
This is just a different form of music
Why don't you guys just shut up and enjoy the music?
A totally unexpected pleasure...what an exciting, virtuoso performance! I love it!
Virtuoso?? Good joke. He rearranged one of the hardest etudes (next to Op 10 Nr 4) written by Chopin and definitly one of the top ten hardest etudes. I could learn his version in 2 days probably so easy is it...

The arrangement is simple, yes.
The sounds, the quality, the instruments; these are modern to what they would have had in the 1700's.
Chopin would actually love it.
how beautiful..... omg
Anyone who doesn't like what he/she is hearing can just more along and let us enjoy it.
@zdlrrebel I agree! Compositions are to be played with, not shut away behind bulletproof glass so that we can only gaze upon them.

final boss fight song :D
katherine :)
j' adore la boîte à rythme et les doigts du monsieur en boir
MAKSIM, you are the best pianist, of course!! Listen your piano is to enjoy so much
Yes. Well put sir.
There are numerous professional and "classic" performance on RUclips, view and praise them. Don
I strongly believe that he is excellent enough to perform it as what a musician is supposed to do on stage. But it will be a bit boring cuz everybody plays the same piece without any obvious difference. Maksim made it fresher, and caught people's attention. He made the piece alive not ruined.
Svaka mu cast!
Skidam mu kapu!
Vjerujem da je on ponos Hrvatske... :)
Pozdrav iz Republike Srpske...
Maksim is just Maksim!
hey dont say that, he modernized the classial music for the younger people if you old farts want to listen to the original type it in. by the way Maskim for the win, you just inspired me to do the piano
Ya I completly agree with you.... the etude is a study for the right hand if he's not playing the right hand than the only reason would be cause' he's got a weak right hand...and no one say hes is cause hes only playing parts of the right hand...
Very good customized version !!
Love what Maksim Mrvica does...
Magnifique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutly my kinda guy~
Fascinating.
THANK YOU!
i think that this arrangement is amazing, love the intense beat.
I'm usually a very unforgiving music snob but in this case I forgive him. Not a great arrangement but he is still amazing.
Every piece of art is liable to the viewer's opinion. Even the composer would have been smug playing his piece. If you can play the piece, you have something to be proud of. It's easy to judge a pianist but unless you're the one on the chair, facing the piano, the view is very much different.

I hear crying about it makes go away.
Lindo , lindo , lindo.... E poderia encher páginas de lindo, lindo.... e não seria bastante para definir a beleza da performance de Maksim Mrvica e a beleza da música. 😍👏👏👏👏👏
i dont care what chopin would think of it, i thought it sounded amazing!
Fantastic
Interesting performance. Art is for people not the other way around.
I think Mrvica created an arrangement to understand this etude at that people that don't understand his power only with the sound of the piano
Do you just want to 'monopoly' your classical, original music? Do you want this music never to be approached by the public? It's good attempt to meet classic. For too many people, classic is regarded as a difficult genre and very exclusive music. If Maksim didn't rearranged revolutionary etude and played it, how can people easily encounter 'classic'?
Seesh, everybody needs to stop making such a HUGE deal of this and just ENJOY it!
This is a great interpretation!
Ahh, People were probably screaming like this when JS Bach's sons changed from the Baroque period to the classical period, and created a crossover. Now their works are regarded as some of the greatest masterpieces.
@DeliusAlkan it wasnt written due to russian occupation,but due to his life,due to his struggle,suffering of life and it was generally composed by chopin as any revolution...
wow, i think this is very creative.
I can lighten up perhaps your right. The thing of it is is that there are people writing good classical music in our modern times. Our society doesn't like "complex" music.
Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, whomever... They would not have written classical music. And if they did no one would listen to it. They all probably would have been Jazz musicians and been poorer and less famous in modern times than they were in their day.
Hermoso!! me encanta!! muchas gracias
Definitely but the beauty of art is that there are many different interpretations
u know what guys, just like beethoven and other composers. they tried to break rules, i mean they DID break a lot of rules. And it was a huge disrespect to the public. until such time they accepted it. so i think MAXIM did this just like any other composers have done before. Especially about the whole-tone and twelve-tone scale. MAXIM just wants us to hear a bit different kind of music and interpretation. NO OFFENSE TO EVERYONE OUT THERE
Dear Chopin:
My apologies on the 21st century's behalf. Happy 200th anyway.
@pianistsan After a while it is.You play things that are at your level.After 10 years of playing piano you aren't going to go an learn something that you would have learned during your 5th year.Music isn't about proving you can play something difficult but after a while you have to play something challenging and when someone can accomplish and play something as challenging as this piece,I believe they deserve some credit.And this piece is not only technically challenging but emotionally as well.
i don't get why everyone should negatively judge his style just because it's different. Ok it's a classic chopin etude we all know that and i guess if not all, most people have heard the classical version.
Well that's a different version which combines classical and techno.Don't listen to it if you don't like it and I bet his technique is beter than yours.Also, why does everyone think that every virtuoso pianist should wear a tuxedo? Maksim's got a different style. Like it or not, that's it.
Let me ask all you hateful posters a question. When you sit down to play a piece such as this, what do you see? What do you feel? If you do not see or feel anything but the notes and annotations on the page, then you've no business saying this musician's take on the piece is an abomination or a crime. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. There's no sense in being a jerk.
Obviously there are people that like his take on it, otherwise there wouldn't be a video.
Great piece! Gets people interested in the classics. =D
yes maksim is absolutly fabulous, BUT i objected to having the drums and violins in the background trying to takeover. When Chopin wrote this piece the Revolutionary Study he was distressed and very angry and it should be interpreted in the music, if his music is to live on pure
Maksim Mrvica fantastic!!
Awesome
Es, un intérprete fantástico ¡¡¡¡🎶🎶🎶🎶
