some tips for people learning this... #1: listen to it a *lot* ! this helps with your by ear memory and will aid you in deciphering it. it also helps to try and follow along in the music. #2: map out your practice! set *OBTAINABLE* goals and make a practice schedule- it will help you keep track of your progress and make you stay organized as well. #3: find the hardest and easiest parts. circle them, highlight them, put neon green tape over them and start by learning them, not at the beginning. doing this will decrease your chances of messing them up by ALOT and will give you a little satisfaction. #4: GO SLOW! You're not Lang Lang! chill and slow down, you'll make less wrong notes and bad habits. #5: regularly go over and look for wrong notes. trust me. the last thing you want are wrong notes. #6: OK, so youre able to play through it *somewhat perfectly* to the end, and now it's time to speed it up. start with a comfortable tempo with the metronome and do it 5×. now, speed the metronome up by a couple notches and do it 5×. keep doing this until you are at your desired tempo. !WARNING! THIS MIGHT RESULT IN CARELESS PLAYING, IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOURE JUST FUMBLING THROUGH THE PIECE, STOP AND COME BACK TOMORROW. #7: last but not least, do that scale at the end a thousand times! it would suck if you preform it perfectly and mess up the scale, so don't take any mutherfudgin chances yo!
Honestly this comment deserves so much more recognition. It’s extremely helpful for literally everyone. And most of your steps can easily be applied to any song for any level pianist 🙏🏼
Thank you ! I started it today, though i dont think im ready for it, although i played some Chopin etudes but less complicated ones like op.25 no1 and 2 , but this seems so unbearable, some moments especially the awkward arpegios that dont fit in the hand and are a pain in the ass to play .
yea, these r my joints. make the polar vortex blues go away. Imma jet blue to Miami for Vday weekend. get away from wuss nation invitin the Big Apple. do happy hour at Mangos in south beach, watch the pretty island girls dance atop bars and take my mind off money
Cziffra’s technical ability allows for such immensely skillful buildups/crescendos like that of 2:33 and onward. That low A at the climax of the buildup is such a treasure. Thunder in the winter storm.
Feeling just speechless from Chopin and also from Cziffra ! Wow. I love his Ocean Etude as well. After listening to each of them it takes some minutes to recover and able to listen to anything again. Emotionally draining, in a good way.
But these people who disliked didn't like the quality of the video or the music? Because if they didn't like the music is like they are arguing with the real composer!
sebastian ciarfella of course it does but there’s a deep, throbbing passion and yearning within this piece that the pianist did not portray whatsoever. It was a complete abomination that when put into perspective, is horrendous playing. Like mark said, it is bombastic and more than anything, captures everything but the passion that Chopin intended in some of the measures.
This piece has brought back those naïve feelings of five-years-ago rustiness, when, 5 years ago I was dreaming of learning this furious étude. Let dreams always remain dreams!
I think loneliness and anger has been clarified in this piece... It seems so still and frozen like winter nothing can change how it blows.. It's such a gorgeous piece... I don't I can forget it.
@Venustsang1 well in the 4th bar the RH pattern is this: the 1st, 3rd, 5th and so on note is a note that chromatically goes down ( so it's f, e, d#, d natural); the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and so on note is a note that's part of the A minor chord (so it's either a, c, or e..it's usually what ever note is closest to the chromatic note that's played before)
Chopin thank you for giving my (in) sanity a voice. Swirling, swirling - chaotically descending into madness... Now I want to dress in a white nightgown and flail my arms with the notes, under the moonlight. Or maybe in the rain. At night.
This etude tells and writes a realy sad story: a lonely traveler trying to walk in the snow, the wind is blowing in his face and it's destroying his hopes. The last scale indicates the end of the storm, which finishes the poor traveler...
@Kinjutsuu I agree with you completely. But you also have to take into consideration this was wrote 182 years ago. This could be a Czerny Dexterity Study, but in a way, to me (my personal opinion), this is a tiny bit too difficult for Czerny. But like I said, I do agree with you, and I would personally like to see someone improvise this. Too bad Cziffra wasn't still alive..He would be perfect at improvising this into something amazing
I feel like hating on people because they like something and that it brought them to something fantastic why would you hate each other over it rather than become friends and enjoy it together
I don't mind really, but how they really said like the came for the anime but not the music in literally every video with either Winter Wind or Liebesleid in it. It really annoys me, really.
@f1f1s I know what you mean. I started to learn one Chopin etude, but I couldn't (I wasn't able to play it) Than I started to learn another Chopin etude. After 5 etudes lerning I realized, that I haven't enough TIME, and TALENT to learn and play them :S:S
I have to wonder what audiences thought of this piece when it debuted. Probably a lot of "my heavens!", and I'd like to think a jaded senior gave a grunt and muttered "this is Haydn all over again...".
WTF, at the very very beginning( 0:07- 0:27 ), I was like "Oh, that's so peaceful, nearly like pop song..."i've quickly changed my mind! sorry for my bad English !!
@alejandrothefader Bars 4-8: Notice the descending chromatic scale in the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes in the semiquaver groups of the RH... This is Chopin, and you'll find no way EASY, but don't blame it as UNSTEADY... Here, he himself writes as 'risoluto'..
read a funny story about this etude. chopin played it for his doctor friend who said that is started to "abruptly" so then chopin added the four bar intro. the "hardest four bars of the piece" according to my teacher ahah
I think Chopin was in a very bad mood to have written this. It's so scary but unpredictable at the same time, I think that's what gives this piece its edge.
I played much better during the pot smoking alcohol drinking days of the 1970's than I do now! I could smoke a joint back then and play up a Storm! Now, it's like.......Blah....
This etude is tragic to me.... so much musical potential, such ingenious inspiraton, and yet a disappointment. The first two bars introducing this melancholy theme melody that seeks so deep inside the heart.. Then a storm, a winter storm suddenly attacks, somehow expected within the first so-sad bars.. the wonderful arpeggios from 0:38 to 0:46, they whisper some kind of hope and struggle in this sorrowful moment, but it's hopeless, just plain hopeless...
There is a strange noise (looks like an anticipation of the right hand) just before the fast start, at 0:29, it's possible to hear it with the volume on max. What's that?

Thx si much man
Thank you!
0:30 sounds more like a russian bomb than winter wind
+IrokoSalei here,up you go 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what a funny!
Well the truth is, a Russian winter wind is just as deadly as a Russian bombshell.
North Korean bomb
That was the point now, wasn't it?
I can play that.
.... the first four bars and the left hand of the rest. ;)
Also the left hand at 1:42?
Quotenwagnerianer

This piece is in honor of the miserable winter we have been enduring
yea, these r my joints. make the polar vortex blues go away. Imma jet blue to Miami for Vday weekend. get away from wuss nation invitin the Big Apple. do happy hour at Mangos in south beach, watch the pretty island girls dance atop bars and take my mind off money
Danny Max you re my next song writer

2:33 Cziffra is unique, like ive never heard some pianist sounded like that? its sound so haunting!!
Chopin.
Dropping the bass, before it was cool.
But these people who disliked didn't like the quality of the video or the music? Because if they didn't like the music is like they are arguing with the real composer!
No they are not.
The "pianist" is bombastic.
No respect for the composer.
Completely in love with himself.
I guess you don't feel the piece like he did, it's called interpretation, doesn't this piece strikes at you like a f*cking nuclear weapon?
sebastian ciarfella of course it does but there’s a deep, throbbing passion and yearning within this piece that the pianist did not portray whatsoever. It was a complete abomination that when put into perspective, is horrendous playing. Like mark said, it is bombastic and more than anything, captures everything but the passion that Chopin intended in some of the measures.
This is the best and the most explosive performance I´ve ever listened.
I've never hear it so powerfully played by anyone other than Cziffra
Check Dan Grigore... he comes quite close I would say. And I'm serious! So check him out and really tell me what you think.
@Beaner what do you mean?
I hope he's not dead lol
@Beaner hahhahahah
This piece has brought back those naïve feelings of five-years-ago rustiness, when, 5 years ago I was dreaming of learning this furious étude.
Let dreams always remain dreams!
Absolutely electrifying performance. It sends chills up and down my spine, just as a blast of winter wind should.
2:40 Hold on...and then BAM!!! Most exciting and explosive performance...Cziffra is very special pianist!
Very funny Chopin. Now where's the piece that humanly possible to play?
+David Bussell Franz Liszt was apparently able to sightread it and play it perfectly first time he ever saw it. He is autismus prime.
Bradley A Yes!
+Bradley A Alkan can, too.
+David Bussell I can play the first four measures, and that's it... :D
Krešimir Cindrić Hahaha, me too hahaha
LET IT RING!
huh
where's my cat?
I was wondering if there were any from the anime here.
The ending is AMAZING!!! Love it!
I love how people are praising this song because they first heard it in an anime.
+Erik Ramirez your lie in april~~~~ my ghashhhhh
indeed
it is a piece not a song leafn the deffrence
I came here cuz I wanted to listen to a really fast piece. I haven't even watched the anime your lie in April XD.
+Erik Ramirez this is better played than in the anime tho ;), but the anime is more moving and sweet
Absolutely stupifyingly brilliant and dazzling - makes me quiver at the thought of trying to play it.
if you can make the melody come out the whole time like this, you're doing something right!
I still can’t find an interpretation that plays 2:30 - 2:41 as well as Cziffra does. It’s unparalleled.
I think loneliness and anger has been clarified in this piece... It seems so still and frozen like winter nothing can change how it blows.. It's such a gorgeous piece... I don't I can forget it.
You think or were you told?
***** i did yesterday xD decided to try and play this piece but it looks so complicated and hard that i don't even want to try.
Mei Wong I love how a portion of us learned this amazing piece from an Anime
shigatsu wa kimi no uso
>watch anime with song played in it
>suddenly expert on song
>repeat what was said in anime
Good job, man. Good job.
I remember first hearing this piece when I attended an art school in middle school and I was mesmerized. It is my goal to play this
love this piece
I love this piece! I just can't keep myself from twitching when I'm listening to it.
The opening chords are so haunting!
Great performance! Bravo!
Fantastic... Left hand is the main chord and right hand only accompany!
Good Job Chopin!
That made me laugh out loud so un expectedly that made my day XD

This piece is my life goal.
Pray for me pls, I am working on it now :)
Christine Queen God bless you
Do you learned it ?
@@beatrizbalcinoiu2186 please we need to know answer her
@@symphoniaenjoyer Yes... we have to find out , i want to learn it too. This piece is so beatiful :)
@@beatrizbalcinoiu2186 same here. I'm starting piano rn and this piece is a goal for me ^^
The crowd thinking: oh another beautiful serene Chopin piece.
Chopin: nah im not having this, rain down on them with fury
Crowd: wtf just happened
Wow! Suprise attack by Chopin(Cziffra) at 0:30. I had my volume all the way up.
You'd be surprised how quickly pianist at this caliber can learn a song.
This interpretation best describes what "wind" is: random and unpredictable.
The number of sharps and flats feels over 1000000000000000
Chopin thank you for giving my (in) sanity a voice. Swirling, swirling - chaotically descending into madness... Now I want to dress in a white nightgown and flail my arms with the notes, under the moonlight. Or maybe in the rain. At night.
Brah is you good?
Great!!! Just great!!
That piano must be tuned again... cziffra's piano breaking etude.. amazing!
Freaky and awesome!!!!!
I can feel the feeling of the pianist that play this piece
@bennettpiano I think kids would mainly call this piece 'sick'.
I came here from "Your Lie In April"
I actually really like this piece
KAORIIIIIIIIIII 😭
So Astounding...
This etude tells and writes a realy sad story: a lonely traveler trying to walk in the snow, the wind is blowing in his face and it's destroying his hopes. The last scale indicates the end of the storm, which finishes the poor traveler...
So I was on Facebook, and then BAM!!
This is the hardest song ever!😻
Ohhh bloody hellll!!!
You can hear the first hard passage before it starts.
@Venustsang1 Yes, there is a pattern.
I must say... very nice.
lovely
well, cziffra shows it right here with a beer in his right hand :)
This is my second favorite etude behind 25 7
25 7. Truly underrated
Cool!
Haha I was searching music from chopin for a presentation I have to do in school. Im gonna show this song :D its amazing :D
This is not the Winter Wind. This is a snowball fight.
Enchanting
cool!!!
I liked the first 26 seconds aswell.
Очень красивый и эффектный этюд Шопена.
@Kinjutsuu I agree with you completely. But you also have to take into consideration this was wrote 182 years ago.

Nice annotations
lol
Bravo
Cziffra!
2:30 Wowww
This isnt a snowball fight, this is an avalanche :)
@Kinjutsuu
Yeah, like a Czerny dexterity study..... or maybe an etude....?
awsomeeeeeeeeeee *____________*
Nice :()
WTF, at the very very beginning( 0:07- 0:27 ), I was like "Oh, that's so peaceful, nearly like pop song..."i've quickly changed my mind! sorry for my bad English !!

this pianist is a monster!!!!!!!
Why is everybody saying this is so hard to play? I know my Wifi connection isn't the best, but the video played fine.
You're late someone already commented in another vid
I like the octave at 2:41.
@alican1923 Yes! I can now. Only thing is its so quiet - how did you not blow out your ears listening to the rest of the etude?
I think Chopin was in a very bad mood to have written this. It's so scary but unpredictable at the same time, I think that's what gives this piece its edge.
@DoctorD47 nice description. :D
@alican1923 It's not just you
0:30...my heart stopped in surprise.
My Friend: Can you play the piano?
Me: *plays* 0:29
I played much better during the pot smoking alcohol drinking days of the 1970's than I do now! I could smoke a joint back then and play up a Storm! Now, it's like.......Blah....
Is it only me hearing the end of the start with the next thing how its called ?
This is not the Winter Wind. This is a raging blizzard!
The best piano piece ever written! Hands down (:->
0:30 START SNOWBALL FIGHT!
Hold on tight... BAM!!!!!!!!
very true
this is literally my face as I try to imagine how long it would take for me to play this well:
O.O
This etude is tragic to me.... so much musical potential, such ingenious inspiraton, and yet a disappointment.

0:30 Omae wa mou shindeiru.
Piano: NANI?!
@alejandrothefader But there is a steady pattern. Try playing the right hand on the piano and you will find it. ;)
Frederic, now your just showing off.
