I'm learning this, and even though it may sound short and sweet, it is very easy for the right hand wrist to get tired when playing. It's a very cute etude, though!
25/9 is my happy place and Lisitsa does it 100% flawlessly. Seriously, the tension in the B section is downright playful and after it I don't think I can hear the return to the A section at :25 without a huge smile getting plastered on my face. Next time you are super sad, I challenge you to listen to this piece and remain morose. Such a joyful and wonderful piece that she knocks out of the park as always. You can even catch a sly smile on her face just after :30. She's having so much fun. :3
@@drebtobias4677 Well i can't lie. I've listen to all "Butterfly" being played in diff. pianos that I can find on youtube. Even using just a cheap bluetooth speaker for the audio output, I can really tell the difference when It's being played on a Bösendorfer. And look at how Valentina plays this piece. Her hands were like "Butterflies" flapping their wings. (Maybe that's why this etude was a.k.a. Butterfly. You know about the Black keys, I suppose)
I have no words for that! Chopin is incredeble! I cry when I listen to his songs. It's incredeble to know that such a human could transform the music! Chopin is incredeble and talletend. I love FRÉDÉRIC!
Love the angle from 0:23 to 0:40. Love it how you see her hand jump down to hit the notes and then hits the chord above effortlessly. Love your recordings of the 24 etudes
Discovered this when I heard a fascinating melody in film "The Prestige" (it was the background music during one of the backstage scenes). Was fascinated and looked it up. Thanks for sharing this nice tune.
I found myself watching this video again and again and it's never seems to be boring for me. I really enjoy this performance. You made me a day, Thank you Valentina♥
Another thing I love about this étude is that it's not only lovely to hear, but it's definitely something to watch as well. I love how her right hand speeds around and her left deftly dances around the keys, especially at the 0:17 - 0:20 mark
Вы играете всегда с такой лёгкостью даже самые сложные произведения, в отличии от многих музыкантов мужчин.Поэтому когда смотрю ваши видео у меня не возникает ощущение что музыка это тяжёлый труд, хотя сама музыкант и знаю что это такое!Спасибо!
i love this as much now as when i first heard it in august! since then i'm painstakingly workin my way thru it, but because Valentina makes it sound so amazing i'm determined to get it! and there is no doubt it's real, she is class, i hav spent hours watchin an rewatchin her chopin etudes and pink dvd....pure talent in every sense lol
@DynastyEmpire I'm actually performing this Etude tomorrow for school. To play it fast and lightly you have to be completely relaxed, play from the arm and let your hands fly. For them to hit the right notes is lots of practice and muscle memory.
Oryginal, really, really beautiful and played with such an ease, (I wonder where I stand with my interpretation of this etude), thanks ValentinaLisitsa
@@peep3879 Even Chopin resented how small his hands were. I don't remember the exact quote, but I think it was regarding Liszt, he said irritably: "He can play 10ths like I can play octaves."
You're partly correct. I have read that ragtime composers, specifically Scott Joplin, took huge inspiration from his notable left-hand leaps and developed them, incorporating them into something more syncopated. It's no wonder Joplin has the same "happy", jumpy feel Chopin exudes in most of his bright pieces. Ragtime composers, however, did not pursue technique as much as Chopin did. Joplin is popular his "not fast" markings; he intended his music to be bright, but calm.
Any 'hobby type pianists' who have tried to play this will know how deceptively difficult it really is. Valentina L flies thru it and ends with a delicate touch. I just wonder if she took a short cut and played split single note octaves rather than single note third etc ?
It's not terribly difficult, the octaves actually make it much easier and give your hand a better overall placement to get the first two eighth notes of the beat.
@@buntafujiwara3289 Thanks. I never get why people think that his etudes are such hard pieces. They're not cakewalks, but they are meant to be played and to train learning pianists - if they were so hard that literally only virtuosos could perform them then that would kind of defeat the point wouldn't it? :)
amazing!!!!! so fast and clear mow i'm learning this etude and its not easy!! its a littile tricky because the same chords go backwards again and again~~~ =]=]
oryginal, really beautiful, and played with such an ease, thanks you ValentinaLisitsa for the upload, i wonder how my interpretation of this etude would be seen :)
@pianoprodigy987 Completely agree. It always makes me smile when I play it, but when she does, it's so interpretive and funny and modern. Grew up listening to Rubinstein and Ohlsson and my personal fave Vladimir Ashkenazy, she makes Chopin sound less lonely, aka Michael Nyman, and more fun. Come to think of it would like to hear her interpretation of Nymans' works.
Err...no. Although it amusingly sounds like Joplin on crack or something, Jazz didn't evolve from something like this. It came from the African musical tradition of strong sense of rhythm and community music. Jazz has a strong percussive feel that was present in African indigenous peoples since anciency. But yes, that's the Classical piece closest to ragtime I've heard so far, so thumbs up :D .
@carmelinda62 ccually she is playing it slow, if played at full speed this etude would be a mere 56 seconds, he extended the notes so we could hear it better

Braden E especially with very small hands :/ I can barely make it through it even with decent technique! Haha
It's easy for my whole body to get tired!
I had the same problem at the beginning. The trick is to kind of throwing your hand in keys, so your wrists remain "not tired"
my piano teacher told me playing it too much can hurt your hands
Hannah Louie jealousy, im 14 and i can only reach 10 notes
You don't say! Her hands do look like a giant butterfly flying on top of the keyboard.

My favorite interpretation
Me too
Лёгкость в аккордовой технике это высший пилотаж! И прекрасно передано настроение. Чудесно!
Только в октавной, но не сутт😅😅
Brava Valentina...sei grande....
Grazie di esistere....così mi sembra che.... Chopin sia ancora vivo. Grazie !

She makes it looks really easy, it's so compelling

I can't listen to any other No.9 after listening to Lisitsa. Best ever
i cant get enough of this song!!! its completing my day!!
Swinging 58 seconds! You rock, Valentina, bringing swinging singing music.
Alucinante! Libre, relajada, perfecta, musical... un placer escucharla y verla.
I love you Valentina you are the best 💜
Beautiful music played by a beautiful lady with a beautiful talent!

Greeeeat performance.... I love Valentina Lisitsa playing at piano
This piece makes me smile 😊🥰

Exquisitely played, as always.
wonderful. it was mentioned in one of Saramago's books (Death with Interruptions)
Oryginal, really, really beautiful and played with such an ease, (I wonder where I stand with my interpretation of this etude), thanks ValentinaLisitsa
There are jazz variations of this etude, just as lovely.
Grand! This is just perfect to me, it's so enjoyable and makes me feel comfortable and free :)
Thank you Valentina :)
Greetings from Germany ♥
I wish my hands were here as big as hers.
I wish i just needed my big hands to play like her lol
CicciaBauBau hahaha ... practice hard.
That is the fifth time you say you can do it easily! I think I UNDERSTAND!!!!
The composer of this Études was 170cm or 5'7 so don't complain about having small hands.

Fantastic rendition of this fantastic etude. She's an amazing pianist, no doubt.
The coolest sounding Étude ever!!!! And executed perfectly.
This piece is just an explosion of joy
This is the gold standard recording of this etude!
She is always persuing perfect. I like all of her pieces.

+divvy1400yam600 It's not _that_ difficult. You just have to keep a relaxed wrist and do most of the work by sliding.
It's not terribly difficult, the octaves actually make it much easier and give your hand a better overall placement to get the first two eighth notes of the beat.

I Totally agree with you.
Whenever I listen to this etude, I always bounce my body from side to side. =]
Inspirational! I LOVE the techniques and the way you play! It's quite a difficult song to master and you did very well!
It takes some special hand muscles to play this tune . Excellent interpretation.
This is best interperater of this piece :) i like this
What a surprising end, I like it.
Semplicemente passionale,espressivo e libero...
I love the way you play Valentina! I wish to play like you one day. Oh, and I was so happy to recently play on a Kawai RX-7!!!!!!!!
It is very fantastic!
I think this music is the best in the etude.
영어 잘하신다
감사합니다^^
Absolutely stunning!

Perfect! I love you Valentina :D
this is fxxking awesome. This etude is difficult, but it is easy for her..
