I don't think I would be able to appreciate this performance as much as I do now if I wasn't currently working on this etude. It's my first Chopin etude and definitely a cut above any other pieces I've worked on, both in difficulty and beauty. Every aspect of this performance is just so beautiful and impressive, I don't think I'll ever reach this level (although a large part of that is because I don't want to make a profession out of playing piano lol).
One of my most favourite performances of this piece, I used to listen to this interpretation during my study of it and when I recorded it on my RUclips channel, I am currently listening to Hamelin's performance of the third Chopin Sonata which I hope to record on my RUclips channel in the future. Thank you for sharing Chopin Institute, Dawid
Stunning! Gave me goosebumps from the first chord. I played this for my senior recital at age 18 which was 47 years ago. I can't imagine being able to play this composition at the "speed" of Mr. Hamelin's performance. Just glorious!
J'ai entendu plusieurs pianistes (Horovitz, Kissin, etc.) interpréter cette œuvre et franchement, c'est Charles Richard-Hamelin, à mon avis, qui remporte la palme. Ça "frise la perfection" comme on dit au Québec!
Is he a monster? He is awesome!! great job this etude is crazy shit for left hand I can't ever play like that.. he is the only one I haven't heard in my life !! I can only say wow wow !! Amazing !!
Chopin's heart was broken after hearing the news of uprising's failure in Poland. He wrote the opus full of pain, dark sounds and feelings of anxiety...
Richard-Hamelin was the most interesting pianist of the competition but serious to a fault. Horowitz scaled the heights and plumbed the depths much more. This is an etude for the left hand. Judges, who are teachers themselves, probably severely penalized him for overpedalling. The all important left hand notes were all submerged in a blur. This led to the richness other commentators noted, but Chopin was not well served. Arrau, the most serious of pianists, is the art that conceals art. He played just as fast and passionately as everyone else, but ensured that every note in the left hand can be heard. Richard-Hemelin, immensely gifted and technically superb, could do with a few lessons from a piano professor, just as a champion boxer still needs a coach. He squandered marks by irritating those judges who were as philistine as me, whereas Cho, the winner, made the best use of his less prodigious talent.
@@DXWV Yep. He played it flawlessly, but he played it like an ordinary etude, there's little romanticism in his performance. Listening to this, I don't feel the desperate, violent, "revolutionary" emotions that this piece was designed to express. It's amazing that so many technically perfect pianists fail at this most important aspect of Chopin's music.
damnedmadman i understand what you’re saying, but chopin never gave this piece a name so realistically its impossible to solidly define chopins intentions with this piece
@@LeizeLeize CFX is the concert version of the CF-series. The CF series is the CF4, CF6 and CFX. All CF pianos are built to a similar standard. And the SX series is almost as good.
Agamaz agreed, but there are some trouble spots that can beat you if not taken carefully. For example, the chromatic runs in the left hand mess me up sometimes when I try to go turbo speed (normal speed)
@@marcelcierlik4014 I love Imagine Dragons too. I was listening to them before classical music. I just happened to fall into classical music somehow. If you really don't like classical music though, I guess it's just not for you, which is normal in this day and age. Maybe one day you'll begin to appreciate it though.
This is the age-old debate regarding this piece. There is Germain musicologist on RUclips who provides a very good analysis as to why the tempo for this etudes needs to be slower - don't recall his arguments at this time, but it had to do with certain harmonic changes that are impossible to hear and appreciate at too quick a tempo. Notwithstanding the fact that I would generally agree with your statement, I personally prefer this tempo; while it may be incorrect musicologically, it's simply a personal preference for bravura playing.
Chopin wrote this piece in 1831, he was 21, just after learning of Poland's failed revolution agains Russia. He was in Paris, far from home, far from his parents. The matter is emotional, as he cried when he learned the news. More than the speed of the piece, it's the emotion and the wound it translates that makes it so rich and intense. That makes it one of the most dionysiac Etudes. Playing a bit slower could easily make it Apollonian, which it isn't.
Sir Fryderyk Chopin is the pride of Poland! The whole country is very proud of him! 🇵🇱

Phenomenal pianist. One of my favorites.
He is a wonderful wonderful pianist, who gets the perfection of technicality and taste, and knows how to implant intensity between the subtle lines!
What a phenomenal performance!
I loved your performance of hungarian rhapsody no. 2!
Cobblie Thanks!
By far the best performance of this masterpiece ever recorded. Every note played so passionately, powerful and rich. What a treat, wow!
Charles' Revolutionary is the best I've ever seen!
Incredible dynamics ! The accents in the left run is 💯
Truly amazing playing with great dynamics wow
That f minor chord at 1:02 is orgasmic

With this performance of this etude by Mr. Richard- Hamelin, one can feel Chopin at the piano . Thank you very much!

I see the first stage in this competition requires performers to play at least 11 pieces... a tough competition, imho.

Why 11 pieces?

The Yamaha just doesn't get the job done like a Steinway. Surprised that it is even being used in a Chopin competition.
CFX yamaha are today the only concert grand piano able to challenge a Steinway. CFX is far better than the whole yamaha collection.

lol this is the right speed boy.
Why he so angry like damn boi
Kbtt that’s the emotion needed to play it, it’s supposed to be a powerful piece
Revolution feeling
too fast....
It's an etude.. and revolutionary..
daniel dangur and you're a dumbass
You think? Thats how the piece is played....
Allegro CON FUOCO - fast with fire. Ya think "with fire" means slow?
