There’s a certain, indescribable edge to your playing that makes the interpretations of yours oddly unique and well worth listening to. Great performance considering the technical difficulty of the piece, which is much underrated usually! I’m eagerly awaiting your next video already.
I agree! This one is in that Chopin Etude category of impossible to play before you can play it - then much easier once you can play it - if that makes sense? If you don't have the required finger strength yet, you have to be very very careful learning this one - it can easily cause a lot of hand problems. You have to start learning it at half tempo hands separately, which is a boring and occasionally brutal process. Getting it up to speed isn't easy either. All of the Etudes pose their own, very unique challenges. If the pianist approaches this Etude perfectly from a practice standpoint, it can be one of the more straightforward Etudes to learn, which is why you could say it is "easier" to learn than Op. 25 No. 8, 10, or 11, for example.
@@gideondoering6512 It's not really an answerable question - especially in Op. 25, all of the Etudes teach absolutely essential skills, in a very condensed way. I would say that overall, Op. 25 teaches skills that are used throughout the entire piano repertoire, where as the Op. 10 Etudes are a little more specific to the works and style of Chopin. Every single Etude in Op. 25 teaches a core, essential skill. Op. 25 is somewhat ordered in terms of difficulty, so if you looking for where to start, it would be with Op. 25 No. 1, proceeding through numbers, 2, 3, and 4 to Op. 25 no. 5. At that point, Op. 25 No. 6 - 12 are all insanely difficult in their own special way, and some of the hardest pieces in the repertoire to play from memory, at tempo (besides 7, obviously).
SeeMusic Piano just wanted to say your an awesome pianist, as well as RUclips and I find it “admirable” how you reply to all your viewers, I was wondering what would you say your favorite etude out of all 24,op10, and op25, or atleast top 3
I've never figured out if this is a deeply poetic and tragic story or simply a droll piece about nothing, like a morning stroll down a Parisian boulevard. I enjoyed your understated take on it!
We shouldn't be quick to attribute narrative to Chopin's pieces so quickly, as he himself disliked the programmatic trends. Still --- what this piece makes me think of is a labyrinth, with many winding staircases, confusing hallways and mysterious courtyards.
Ok I really love this etude, and love the way you play it, not as fast as the other pianists. You're very talented and I really can't wait for your channel to blow up. Just one thing I noticed on a lot of your videos, is that the "flame" that comes out of the keys hitting the piano stays for too long, sometimes it hides the key falling (like in your transcendental etude videos)... Very good playing otherwise! 👍🏼
Thank you seemusic piano for playing this piece! I have been tackling this piece for 3 years.... I can play rather slowly but I can NEVER play the left hand fast enough... The traveling distance is so enormous, so the left hand can’t keep that speed. it is beyond my Techinical ability so far. I would highly appreciate it , if you or anyone for that matter could comment on exactly how to make it possible to play that fast on the left hand. I am kind of desperate on this 🥺💦💐🙇🏼♀️🙇🏻♂️. Thank you so very much💐✨ Also, if the screen could be a little brighter, we could see your wrist movement etc. but this light stuff is what makes your channel cool the way it is, I totally respect that . Thanks!
Amazing! You really are skilled and you play very clean! I've attempted a few Etudes but I've never really polished any of them (Op. 10 No. 1, 3 12, Op 25 No. 5). Do you have any advice besides metronome work? Either way, great job and I wish the best for your channel
I really like this Etude especially 0:14. Perfect execution. You said in a comment that this is one of the more straightforward while Op 25 no 10 is cery difficult. I find no 10 to be one of the easier. Not that I have played completely. Maybe because I practised octaves way too much😅. By the way would love to see you play chopin grande polonaise. I know you can play it from another comment. However you don't have to listen to me. Do whatever pleases you.( I'm curious about what you plan to play next ).
Thank you! Yes - Op. 25 No. 10 is pretty straightforward at first, but very difficult to master completely. Not to mention that playing it at full tempo puts an enormous amount of strain on the hands, and it's exhausting and potentially dangerous to practice more than a couple times in a row... I guess it's more exciting to keep the next piece a surprise, but there are definitely some good ones coming up soon 😀
Great playing! I am glad i found you. Love to see such hard pieces, like all the op 25 etudes and some transcendtal etudes in synthesia style videos but musicality to it too not just robots playing. You will have tons of subs in no time i am sure! Just do some popular pieces so more peole find you. Thanks for your performance, have a great day!
Hey, I’m having an issue in the see music app When I have the sustain pedal pressed down in my audio file the glowing of the note in the see music app doesn’t stop until the pedal is released in the audio how do I fix this ?
Is there a way to split the colors for each hand if the midi has 2 channels , or split the colors like in the Synthesia app. Only thing holding me back from purchasing it.
For me, this one is honestly pretty abstract... it's one of those pieces that feels like pure harmony. I'm sorry, I wish I had an amazing metaphor for you! But when I'm playing it I'm focused on the qualities of the specific harmonies. If you haven't already, actually doing a roman numeral analysis of the harmonies is extremely helpful, and makes it a lot more interesting
@@SeeMusicPiano when you put it that way, I have a better understanding on the concept of this piece. It's more like Rachmaninoff's Etude Tableaux but without something concrete to imagine.
You should never be in pain after playing, you can be doing many things wrong but mostly you are pushing beyond your limit thus you become tense. I recommend Josh Wright's master class on how to play fast and loose.
@@rheakinn3196 Well, the big jumps in both hands, and the key of A minor are both qualities of the composition that make it feel Paganini-esque 😀 🎹 . The Chopin Etude nicknames have always been a bit questionable - they are by no means definitive, and Chopin certainly didn't choose them. But I think a lot of people think the nicknames make it easier to remember which Etude is which, and potentially make them more interesting...
SeeMusic Piano I see,thanks! Would you like to play some more of Liszt? I really want you to play Mazeppa! Since Rousseau didn’t take requests from his fans (rarely)..... Or you gonna complete the Op.25 sets?
He and Liszt likes Paganini. Liszt's adaption is more of "Making the piano a Paganini" or "Paganinizing the piano" while Chopin is more of making multiple variations from the style of Paganini.
It's just the nickname sometimes given to this Chopin Etude, probably because both big leaps and the key of A minor are associated with the violin caprices of Paganini
Nice performance, though I'd like this piece to be played with some more interpreted variations. The way you played it was in my opinion too much "straight forward". And I'd like the color scheme to fit more into the piece instead of changing randomly. Btw, since you're able to play all the Chopin Etudes inside op.25, I'd like to see you performing Op 6.
Thanks - just as a note - the colors definitely aren't changing randomly. Each pitch is assigned a color, and the SeeMusic app calculates what color the harmony is at any given point in time by averaging out the pitches being played. It's definitely my own personal interpretation of how I "see" the colors of the piece, but they aren't at all random 😀. Practicing no. 6 today, haha.... it's a beast.
@@SeeMusicPiano Oh ok, if the colors are actually not random, I'm sorry for this assumption. It just came into my mind because at 0:25 - 0:37 I feld it was played actually pretty warmly while you choosed rather cold colors which also changed quickly. And yeah, Op. 6 definitely is a beast.
When you don't know how to do all is impossible.But this one rytmically seems impossible. I know how to move but the speed process is broken by the rythim! Too me is one of the mostc hard in all sense.
Haha you're the first to notice! Completely accidental.... after years of playing it from memory, I forgot to repeat that last phrase one extra time. This piece is insanely difficulty to recall perfectly from memory, but also too fast to play from the score.... what can you do?
