Every time I come back to listen to Chopin’s Etudes, I settle on Pollini’s interpretations as the most satisfying with just the right balance of pedal to produce a sound full of emotion yet brilliantly clear.
Precisely my thought haha. Also his left hand is not over bearing or under bearing. And the scales going up and down are not as broken as most other pianists. The attention is more on the etude and not on the pianist when you head Pollini play this etude ... cant explain it..
Totaly agree, Rubinstein once said in a Chopin competition refering to Pollini with judges being Rubinstein, Horowitz, Cziffra and some others: "This kid can play Chopin even better than us!"
As a classically trained pianist who has played since age 4 and has always loved chopin, I played many instruments but found my secondary in guitar. My first teacher had been homeless in Denver for 10 years playing guitar for drug money... I guess that makes you amazing or he just had natural talent. Well, I handed him Etude Op. 10 No. 5 and the next week he was like "Oh, I didn't really mess with it too much, but it's the one that's like... " and hammered on the RH chords and hammered, pulled, tapped, etc, the LH chords with no pick or RH. Or rather the sick runs and arpeggios to come... I remember I was in fifth grade when I played this shit on piano and it fucked my world up. I'm right handed and my teacher gave me this song because I'm cocky and always thought I could play any song and wanted to see if I had the dedication to get my left hand that fast... No problem. I pulled a Naruto on that shit. He wants to be Hokage. I was just an asshole that was exploited by a great teacher. Thanks, Julia Ohlson!

Right?
Another piece that will take you 9 years to play 2 minutes.
Why bro its not that hard... it just looks at first
I learned it in 3 months
A lot of pieces are easier than they appear, this is one of them
i learn this piece when i was a baby
THIS is how it's done! Such a sublime understanding of the man and his music.
I pity the pianist.
@@pianosbloxworld4460 pity yourself and your miserable existence

LMAOO
WOWWWW!
Crisp and clear.
Something to aim for ! :)
Always a mystery how Chopin wove these together. I wonder if he improvised at mastery levels, too.
Very clever thought. Indeed, he might have done just that.
best etude op 10 no 8. Pollini never disappoints
John Browning is better
Si
@@Pianistliszt not too early
Thank you for posting this wonderful performance by Pollini
On one guitar that will be absolutely impossible. ;)
I'm sure if Paco de Lucia was alive, he could play this studio
That's why it's written for a piano
@@Andrew.Helmick Chopin didnt want it for guitar…
really? i thought it was written for flute
I love the dissonant B notes.
That's called F lydian.
@@jasonhuang6023 no
@Crafty craft they’re just grace notes, not evocative of any sort of Lydian sound.
@Crafty craft Peter is right, the only piece in F lydian I can think of rn, is Alkan's allegro barbaro
playing this rn and my hands are suffering
yes!
@@zoe-silverlight i am 14 and my teacher told me i have tk start studying it, is it hard?
@@Pavonedorisdepends on how you approach it. I played it slowly and I payed special attention to the fingering. You don’t have to suffer! 😅
@@zoe-silverlight i learned the first line for now slowly
Same!
I'm literally speechless. I'm studying this piece and my interpretations doesn't even get close to Pollini's interpretation
I too. It's normal. But it's not impossible
Comparing your own interpretation to world-class pianists is the best way to git gud 👍
A friend of mine, elderly like me, is working on this now.
🎉best sound ever like a party🎉
Geniaal gespeeld
lovely!
Another guitarist like me who loves Chopin...
Wouldn't it be great to put this entire piece on a guitar!?
Lmao you can try 😂
No
The guitar is a much humbler instrument to put it that way.
You'd have to arrange it for multiple guitars, as the guitar has a much smaller range.
I m practising this piece since 1 year already. Still not finished.
My hands are not fast enough
Noo I need to get this piece done until june 2024:( I just started it.
@@irinaolariu8701 well even when not full speed, the piece is still pretty
@@irinaolariu8701 same, I started it 3 weeks ago, how it is going?
And this, my friends, probably led to Final Fantasy's prelude.
Best interpretation
10 strings and also a touch-tone ability???? hmmm!!???
think about the possibilities...
When it changes to d minor though 😩
I hate the 4th finger :(
