I need to see the doctor - I am hearing voices that I never heard before - and I checked the music sheets - they have always been there. This is music, not just playing piano. What a great rendition!
Beautifully played. I love the notes you sing in the middle register of op. 10 No. 1. Never heard anyone do that before. It pleases me to see that you are more interested in making music than in showing off your technique. Thank you
00:01 - Etude n.1 do maggiore: Allegro 02:21 - Etude n.2 la minore: Allegro 03:59 - Etude n.3 mi maggiore: Lento ma non troppo 08:24 - Etude n.4 do diesis minore: Presto
My father Stanislaus Degorski was a concert pianist in Poland in his late teens (1930’s). I never learned to play but could hum every single note of every Chopin composition! Chopin was highly esteemed in my home. My father was the organist & choir director at the Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica, Royal Oak MI for 25+ years. He also served in the Polish underground cavalry on horseback at age 17 during WWII. Thank you young lady for wrapping me in the most beautiful hug from my dad in heaven listening to your God-given talented interpretation of Chopin. ♥️
I don’t know why people here think Annique has “discovered” hidden voices in both etudes If you ever look at professional concert pianists both from the past and today, they put an incredible amount of effort into exploring every piece to its most unreachable depths. Why we don’t hear them play these wonderful voices is mainly because they’re not brave enough to present such an interpretation as they fear the audience will disapprove and call it eccentric especially since the late 20th century competitions and critics came into popularity. Annique has been very brave to present to us a new and fantastic rendition of all the etudes!
@cziffrathegreat666 so.... other "professional concert pianists both form the past and today".. actually have discovered this as well... but... even though "they put an incredible amount of effort into exploring every piece to its most unreachable depths.."... they simply weren't brave enough? Their artistic decisions were based on fear of disapproval of the audience? How do you know that.. you talked to them? witnessed them practicing these etudes with the inclusion of "these wonderful voices"... but were too afraid to play it like that live? You really do not make any sense and have the tendency to exaggerate in order to give your statement weight that it can't have because of a lack of logic:... "incredible amount"... to its "most unreachable depths".. I mean.. jeezz.. In the first etude there's a clear example of playing a descending line in the bass - no doubt perceived as a "hidden voice".. that she plays very very deliberately.. but it resolves into a sort of nothingness (around 1:06) .. because Chopin isn't Bach.. and following such a line as deliberately as you could when playing Bach.. doesn't yield musical satisfaction... it does sound ...eh.. brave?
@@Thijs-Kuiken Well, although I wouldn't say it's the sole reason behind it, but it is one of them. I don't intend in any manner to disregard Annique's work or discredit her in any way. Pianists spend a great deal of their time in perfecting pieces, and it is easily observable from masterclasses, practice sessions, rehearsals, documentaries etc. I might have exaggerated based on the comments people were posting here, but it wasn't the sole intention of my comment in any manner. I do acknowledge that pianists don't choose to enunciate all the voices they observe based on personal artistic choices too. If you take pianists like Katsaris and Cziffra for example, you will notice that they do live up to the point I mentioned, but in no way am I setting that as the standard for playing piano repertoire. The choices are their own, and uniqueness is every great musician's aim in their career, which they achieve by making their audience satisfied using their own personal style of playing. And if you have any issues with my language (I don't see how it has negatively impacted anything), kindly excuse, that's the way I am.
@@cziffrathegreat666 What I wrote wasn't about your thoughts on her playing - it's obvious that when you write "Annique has been very brave to present to us a new and fantastic rendition of all the etudes!"... you in fact praised her.. so no need to make it sound like I suggested otherwise by bringing it up with an irrelevant disclaimer. It's about the "bravery" nonsense for which you provide NO proof. Your actual text is this: "Why we don’t hear them play these wonderful voices is mainly because they’re not brave enough to present such an interpretation as they fear the audience will disapprove and call it eccentric especially since the late 20th century competitions and critics came into popularity". That's a judgement call that bypasses a notion of artistic decisions playing a role.. Your assertion isn't made credible if you can't come up with proof but only resort to a cop out like : "And if you have any issues with my language (I don't see how it has negatively impacted anything), kindly excuse, that's the way I am." Kind of difficult to come to an understanding of who you are and what your intentions are, since you now write that it's because of others that you wrote in an exaggerative manner: "I might have exaggerated based on the comments people were posting here, but it wasn't the sole intention of my comment in any manner." Sigh.. besides the nonsense of having to resort to exaggerations in the first place; what other intentions were there and why didn't you make the other intention(s) clear from the get go...?? I think there's a connection between the way you let your writing (the extend to which you exaggerate) be dependent on others... and your willingness (without providing verifiable proof) to assert that there are pianists who don't play a certain way because of a presumed lack of bravery as a result of fear of audiences and critics. Either way; you now come back and add some nuances that weren't there in your original post.. e.g. your "main reason" .. has become: " I wouldn't say it's the sole reason behind it, but it is one of them". Again: what other reasons are there behind it and why not bother to provide them all at once? You're entitled to your opinion and ideas of course.. but it doesn't follow that because you're entitled, they're automatically truthful or meaningful.
@@Thijs-Kuiken My point is only based on the fact that many pianists especially in the 20th century have been criticized by critics for their interpretations of some pieces. If you want an example, take Cziffra's recordings of chopin waltzes, it wasn't well received, but later on people start to appreciate it. Its all to do with the audience. In my original comment I was just considering one factor, and not disregarding the others. My main intention was to raise one specific point and not to write an entire report on the topic with arguments and counter-arguments. Anyways its up to you to interpret the comment. I don't know what you expect from me at this point, but if you really want me to edit the comment, delete it, kindly guide me. Take it positively, and as a humble statement, in no way do I want to show any superiority or harshness.
"I also aspire to play the piano in Japan, and I came across this video on RUclips while searching for examples to follow. I think it's the most beautiful rendition of Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 1 that I've ever heard, and I listen to it every day. And you are beautiful."
I've never heard such a singing first etude. Well, and so much poetry in every performance. You have found your way to Chopin, and many of us are eager to follow you. This is a real achievement.
What a lovely performance. This is the Chopin i know. Beautiful phrasing and amazing interpretation of each etude. Special mention about etude number 1. Magnificently played. Bravo.
what the hell...i've never seen that inner melody brought out like that before on no1....not by anyone. i didn't even realize what it was fully supposed to sound like. great job.
Bravo! That's how technical études become music! 👏👏👏 No. 1 and 2: amazing voicing. No. 3: sweet cantabile (interesting though: all my editions of Op. 10 No. 3 are somewhat different from yours). No. 4: crystal clear (and turbulent like a torrent should be...).
Just bought your album on iTunes. You deserve to get paid properly. Not the almost non existent pay per streams like Spotify. Folks, please buy the abum so Annique can get paid properly.
Annique congrats in general, amazing performance, but in particular i’m so excited to hear that second voice in the op 10 n. 2 etude, i’ve only heard it once and i was waiting for someone to highlight it and you did it with your own interpretation (staccato with barely no pedal, super interesting). Great!

In all my years (I'm 62 now), have I ever heard the melody brought out in op.10 n.1 like this. I didn't even know this melody was there. None of the greats if my memory serves me well have done that. I commend you for that!!!
@Miraak I meant in in that these were meant to be played in concert halls, and are the first prominent concert etudes. These were written to be performed artistically and started the movement of concert etudes
Breaking news: New voices, hitherto unknown to mankind, have been unearthed in popular Chopin etude. As of today, there now exists a Göttler version of Opus 10.1 😮🎉❤
Between 40 and 50 years ago I bought a big box of vinyl discs called LP - the complete solo piano works of Chopin, played by relatively unknown pianist Nikita Magaloff (of Georgian noble family descent, 1912-1992). He always seemed to play slower than the Rubystone type pianists of his generation, but then, looking at the recorded time, the difference was minimal. About 10 years ago, in RUclips, I bumped into a French or Swiss documentary on Magaloff, probably violating someone's IPr that was taken offline and later reappeared in partial form. Integrated in the documentary was a masterclass like playing to him by a couple of his students. One of them played a Chopin piece and after she finished, Magaloff asked her to go back to a specific bar (paraphrased): "why don't you play this and the next few bars as a fugue?" These bars, played in the same way as the surrounding Romantic Chopin music had sounded a bit foreign but she had played the notes/keys without fault, before. Now she played the same notes as fugue and the penny dropped. Here it helps to know that Chopin was a big fan of J.S. Bach's music that was not extremely popular in Chopin's day and age. Not all advanced students of music would have studied the lives of composers to know that, when their university-level music schools did not ask them to study that for grades. But it also requires great ability to read sheet music and experience, even when knowing such contextual information, in order to be able to recognise it when reading it. When Wagner rose to fame in Western Europe, there were haters and fans. So in those days, when no recorded music existed yet, in a café in Paris where a group of Bohemian lifestyle artists frequented, one night, one of the fans brought a book with some sheet music of a bigger symphonic work by Wagner. Approaching the table with the friends, he threw the book on the table and commanded "read!". One of the haters started reading and turning the pages after some time he uttered: "hm, Wagner's music is more beautiful than it sounds." Which illustrates how "reading music" is a skill that not all advanced musicians have. It also illustrates that some musicians can read sheet music at another level of abstract patterns. If you studied piano, you may have been frustrated by your teacher asking that you learn études (and "étude" is a study or practice piece) by e.g. Diabelli (1781-1858) or Czerny (1791-1857). And most students never rise above feeling tortured by these pieces that may come across like a diarrhoea of notes without music. Why don't we just practice the scales and chord progressions, a student might think. And the listener to that may think, "silent piano", thoughts meandering to John Cage's "composition" known as "4:33" or " 4' 33" " (a piece in 3 "movements", 0:30, 2:23, 1:40 that add up to 4:33 - each completely silent). As Annique illustrates - which is your comment - with her highlighting of notes in Chopin's practice pieces, there is actual music in these études - which, in the case of Chopin (1810-1849), is completely expected, but not easy to reveal in playing. With Diabelli and Czerny, some "music" content is there but I would argue more buried in a more Baroque (i.e. musically old-fashioned in their lifetime already) style. And it needs a seriously virtuoso and great pianist to make such music tolerable between a performer and a listener. The fun thing then is, when you ever studied piano, that such musically virtuoso performances are full of "a-ha" experiences. As a student never fast and good enough to get to this point, with a teacher who was not motivated to treat these practice pieces as music, or at least illustrate how it could be music, the penny never dropped. Here it does. Long story short: "Hitherto unknown to mankind" suggests that a composer and virtuoso pianist like Chopin accidentally wrote notes while not understanding his music in this way Ms. Göttler played it. With Chopin in mind, I can only respond with "objection, your honour!"
@@jpdj2715 sheet music is like poetry or prose. It can be read aloud and sound flat and boring, or with a good voice it can have phrasing, rhythm, tempo, colour, expression, emotion etc. No 2 people will sound the same. Which is the correct way? It’s in the ear of the listener.
The part I enjoy the most of this performance is the majority of your videos are your 1 min, 10 min and 1 hour challenge. I know the ability you have from those videos but there are very rarely full performances of a piece. To watch and hear you play fully through is a great experience.
I am learning No 3 and this a bellissima interpretation. Chopin is really the true poet of the piano, and you capture the sentiments and hidden voices beautifully in all of them. Bravissima Annique! From Australia
I just went to a Chopin candlelight concert this evening, coming home and seeing you perform one of the most magical Chopin pieces completed this musical day perfectly👌
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Ludwig van Beethoven... Con gratulation for your fantastic interpretation and Thank You from Poland. Country of Frederic Chopin...
As an amateur pianist and enthusiast, I totally admire and enjoy her playing and her videos. As a visual artist, I admire and enjoy that she is a stunning beauty. I could do her portrait while listening to her performances and that would be a great day in my book.
Vor vielen Jahren hörte ich einen russischen Pianisten, Alexei Skavronsky, der Chopins Opus 10 Nr. 1 auf ähnliche Weise spielte, und ich fand es damals sehr interessant und mochte die Aufnahme sehr. Jetzt habe ich Anniques Interpretation gehört, und sie war wunderbar. Sie ist sehr anders, sehr nachdenklich. Du hast den Mut, deine eigenen Ideen zu dieser großartigen Musik zu äußern, und du machst sie noch interessanter. Die melodische Linie des zweiten Stücks ist auch sehr gut! Herzlichen Dank!
Wow. The music is beautiful and very well -played. You’re beautiful also. Great job and thanks for sharing. I was looking for a primer on Chopins etudes and here it is. I’m going to start practicing his etudes. Thanks for the boost.
I figured the same inner melody in the Op.10 No.1, but my colleagues discouraged me from playing them. So glad someone can back up my idea with a complete rendition as an example!
Großartige Begabung für Chopins Musik. Selten so "edel" gehört! Egal ob " gefühlvoll" oder virtuos , sie findet immer den passenden Ton. Sehr beeindruckend ❤
Was soll man denn dazu noch sagen ?! - Großartige Person, eine unglaublich inspirierte Künstlerin, Darbietungs-Ästhetik bis in die kleinsten Fingerspitzen !! Auch an die Videoschnitt- und Kamera"regie" ein großes Kompliment zum sehr gelungenen Mischen der verschiedenen Perspektiven und zur optimalen Lichttechnik ! Auch passt die aktuell etwas kürzere Frisur ausgesprochen schön zum Gesamtbild der Protagonistin, die ja in ihrem "Uralt-Chopin-DVD-Video" sichtbar bewiesen hat, dass auch noch deutlich kürzere Haare sehr schön zu ihr passen ... : ))
I agree with Lofi Tone! I too, never heard those inner melodic lines before, and I have been listening to the two Opus' of the Etudes for well over 40 years! What a genius interpretation and execution here! So many other pianists just slam through these complex interspersed melodies. Heck, they're *melodies* folks... even Ashkenazy could learn a thing or three from these realizations performed by Ms. Gottler! Brava!
Finally somebody who writes something that's actually accurate. Thanks for posting so I didn't have to. I too have been listening for well over 45 years. Playing them also since I was 16. What an interesting and refreshing way to interpret these.
Brilliant performance, i loved everything and you're an extraordinary artist! By the way the passage from 3 to 4 is something out of this world. The way You used the resonance from the Ending of the 3rd and the bump of the pedal to start the fu**in rockin' 4th it can't be teached, you got to feel it and, damn, i felt it into every single bone of my body! Love You from the very deep!
Wow!! Just love your connection with the piano! Your lovely personality as seen in your tutorials is expressed so beautifully here with precision and musicianship!! Well done and thank you for sharing your talent with us!!
i absolutely loved your op 10 no 1 interpretation the inner voices were amazing and creates an entire new piece. learning that etude rn and gonna steal some ideas here for my interpretation :p
Oh, very very impressive. You are a genius. I follow your channel so long now and I am a musician as well (although hobby only) and I love these Chopin pieces which my father played when he was still alive. I know how much work is behind such a performance. So, my admiration and respect is infinite!
... and after watching it now the 3rd time I see these inner voices which @ZKLoftiTone mentioned 2 weeks ago in the comments. This is really very impressive and it contributes to feel in another world listening to you. Thank you so much!
Antique’s piano performance is just awesome. She is also very sexy-way more than Lola, and the rest.. It has been a joy watching her prepare the Chopin etudes, her one-hour challenges, and I am totally in love with her humor.
Thank you so much for uploading this beautiful, revealing performance. I have never heard such OP 10-1. I also liked the speed of OP 10-3, which you explained in another video of this channel the other day. You move people.
The Op10 No1 probably is by far the most interesting version I have ever heard, so refreshing, so detailed and beautiful!
Agree.
I LOVE the fact that Annique didn't bang the hell out of No. 1. She brought out melodic and inner lines beautifully. Really musical rendition :--) ...
And missed a ton of notes... was this live performance?
@@anonymousl5150it was an exam
@@anonymousl5150 notes don't matter, only musicality
@@AdrenalineLegends ?? this performance is great but notes definitely matter for something like this
@@andrewzhang8512 yes, but every human makes mistakes right, dynamics and musicality wins, like bethoven said.
that emphasis on the first note of every last descending and every first ascending arpeggio in op 10 no 1 is amazing
I need to see the doctor - I am hearing voices that I never heard before - and I checked the music sheets - they have always been there. This is music, not just playing piano. What a great rendition!
doctor.🤣🤣🤣

I like the third etude. Its my favorite.

a very unique interpretation of 10-1.
it's amazing in how many ways the same score on paper can sound, depending on the pianist.
loved this one! ❤
So lyrical, so expressive, nothing wasted or rushed, felt like I actually heard Chopin for the first time.

@deniz117they are literally called concert etudes
@Miraak I meant in in that these were meant to be played in concert halls, and are the first prominent concert etudes. These were written to be performed artistically and started the movement of concert etudes
@Miraak thats the same thing in this context, its for performing in front of an audience
Breaking news: New voices, hitherto unknown to mankind, have been unearthed in popular Chopin etude. As of today, there now exists a Göttler version of Opus 10.1 😮🎉❤
Comment of the Year!
Between 40 and 50 years ago I bought a big box of vinyl discs called LP - the complete solo piano works of Chopin, played by relatively unknown pianist Nikita Magaloff (of Georgian noble family descent, 1912-1992).
He always seemed to play slower than the Rubystone type pianists of his generation, but then, looking at the recorded time, the difference was minimal.
About 10 years ago, in RUclips, I bumped into a French or Swiss documentary on Magaloff, probably violating someone's IPr that was taken offline and later reappeared in partial form.
Integrated in the documentary was a masterclass like playing to him by a couple of his students. One of them played a Chopin piece and after she finished, Magaloff asked her to go back to a specific bar (paraphrased): "why don't you play this and the next few bars as a fugue?" These bars, played in the same way as the surrounding Romantic Chopin music had sounded a bit foreign but she had played the notes/keys without fault, before. Now she played the same notes as fugue and the penny dropped.
Here it helps to know that Chopin was a big fan of J.S. Bach's music that was not extremely popular in Chopin's day and age. Not all advanced students of music would have studied the lives of composers to know that, when their university-level music schools did not ask them to study that for grades.
But it also requires great ability to read sheet music and experience, even when knowing such contextual information, in order to be able to recognise it when reading it.
When Wagner rose to fame in Western Europe, there were haters and fans. So in those days, when no recorded music existed yet, in a café in Paris where a group of Bohemian lifestyle artists frequented, one night, one of the fans brought a book with some sheet music of a bigger symphonic work by Wagner. Approaching the table with the friends, he threw the book on the table and commanded "read!".
One of the haters started reading and turning the pages after some time he uttered: "hm, Wagner's music is more beautiful than it sounds." Which illustrates how "reading music" is a skill that not all advanced musicians have. It also illustrates that some musicians can read sheet music at another level of abstract patterns.
If you studied piano, you may have been frustrated by your teacher asking that you learn études (and "étude" is a study or practice piece) by e.g. Diabelli (1781-1858) or Czerny (1791-1857). And most students never rise above feeling tortured by these pieces that may come across like a diarrhoea of notes without music. Why don't we just practice the scales and chord progressions, a student might think. And the listener to that may think, "silent piano", thoughts meandering to John Cage's "composition" known as "4:33" or " 4' 33" " (a piece in 3 "movements", 0:30, 2:23, 1:40 that add up to 4:33 - each completely silent).
As Annique illustrates - which is your comment - with her highlighting of notes in Chopin's practice pieces, there is actual music in these études - which, in the case of Chopin (1810-1849), is completely expected, but not easy to reveal in playing. With Diabelli and Czerny, some "music" content is there but I would argue more buried in a more Baroque (i.e. musically old-fashioned in their lifetime already) style. And it needs a seriously virtuoso and great pianist to make such music tolerable between a performer and a listener.
The fun thing then is, when you ever studied piano, that such musically virtuoso performances are full of "a-ha" experiences. As a student never fast and good enough to get to this point, with a teacher who was not motivated to treat these practice pieces as music, or at least illustrate how it could be music, the penny never dropped. Here it does.
Long story short: "Hitherto unknown to mankind" suggests that a composer and virtuoso pianist like Chopin accidentally wrote notes while not understanding his music in this way Ms. Göttler played it. With Chopin in mind, I can only respond with "objection, your honour!"
@@jpdj2715 …accidentally wrote notes without understanding…
OMG, he’s not saying that at all. Lighten up.
I echoed your comment above. Hadn't read yours yet.
@@jpdj2715 sheet music is like poetry or prose. It can be read aloud and sound flat and boring, or with a good voice it can have phrasing, rhythm, tempo, colour, expression, emotion etc. No 2 people will sound the same. Which is the correct way? It’s in the ear of the listener.
The part I enjoy the most of this performance is the majority of your videos are your 1 min, 10 min and 1 hour challenge. I know the ability you have from those videos but there are very rarely full performances of a piece. To watch and hear you play fully through is a great experience.
I am learning No 3 and this a bellissima interpretation. Chopin is really the true poet of the piano, and you capture the sentiments and hidden voices beautifully in all of them. Bravissima Annique! From Australia
I just went to a Chopin candlelight concert this evening, coming home and seeing you perform one of the most magical Chopin pieces completed this musical day perfectly👌
Du meine Güte, diese Etüden so abzuliefern.
Vor 50 Jahren waren es nur die Besten der Besten, die das konnten. Chapeau
Weiter so !!!
I pianoforti erano diversi, difficili. Ora è molto più facile, provane uno nuovo e vedi la differenza, fai fatica a frenarti.
One of the best interpretation of this 4 studies from Chopin. Thank you a lot Annique
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Ludwig van Beethoven... Con gratulation for your fantastic interpretation and Thank You from Poland. Country of Frederic Chopin...
What a treat to hear you play these etudes on a Steinway, amazing as always!
As an amateur pianist and enthusiast, I totally admire and enjoy her playing and her videos. As a visual artist, I admire and enjoy that she is a stunning beauty. I could do her portrait while listening to her performances and that would be a great day in my book.
Loving the diminuendo on the seconds part ❤ on no 1. It's rare !
I'm a dunce when it comes to classical music. But I watched this entire performance in a spellbond condition. Your are truly amazing. ❤
Everybody commenting about how great your opus 10 no. 1 is but omgggg I have never heard a better opus 10 no. 2
BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC, SUPER interpretation! YOU ARE GREAT!
3:58 the best one, absolutely perfect
My day is not complete without this. It's part of my routine now.
Vor vielen Jahren hörte ich einen russischen Pianisten, Alexei Skavronsky, der Chopins Opus 10 Nr. 1 auf ähnliche Weise spielte, und ich fand es damals sehr interessant und mochte die Aufnahme sehr.
Jetzt habe ich Anniques Interpretation gehört, und sie war wunderbar. Sie ist sehr anders, sehr nachdenklich. Du hast den Mut, deine eigenen Ideen zu dieser großartigen Musik zu äußern, und du machst sie noch interessanter. Die melodische Linie des zweiten Stücks ist auch sehr gut!
Herzlichen Dank!
Wow. The music is beautiful and very well -played. You’re beautiful also. Great job and thanks for sharing. I was looking for a primer on Chopins etudes and here it is. I’m going to start practicing his etudes. Thanks for the boost.
I figured the same inner melody in the Op.10 No.1, but my colleagues discouraged me from playing them. So glad someone can back up my idea with a complete rendition as an example!
i love how you bring out the middle voices. you definitely feel chopin and bring pleasure and joy to your listeners
No .1 has always been my favorite. You’re excellent& a joy to listen to!!!
Gorgeous voicing, I love that I'm hearing these with some genius new twists and perspectives. Thank you! :)
I much enjoyed that interpretation. The Op. 10 No. 3 is one of my favourite pieces.
Großartige Begabung für Chopins Musik. Selten so "edel" gehört! Egal ob " gefühlvoll" oder virtuos , sie findet immer den passenden Ton. Sehr beeindruckend ❤
You have taught me to listen to these etudes in a totally new and different way! Thank you!
Was soll man denn dazu noch sagen ?! - Großartige Person, eine unglaublich inspirierte Künstlerin, Darbietungs-Ästhetik bis in die kleinsten Fingerspitzen !!
Auch an die Videoschnitt- und Kamera"regie" ein großes Kompliment zum sehr gelungenen Mischen der verschiedenen Perspektiven und zur optimalen Lichttechnik !
Auch passt die aktuell etwas kürzere Frisur ausgesprochen schön zum Gesamtbild der Protagonistin, die ja in ihrem "Uralt-Chopin-DVD-Video" sichtbar bewiesen hat, dass auch noch deutlich kürzere Haare sehr schön zu ihr passen ... : ))
I agree with Lofi Tone! I too, never heard those inner melodic lines before, and I have been listening to the two Opus' of the Etudes for well over 40 years! What a genius interpretation and execution here! So many other pianists just slam through these complex interspersed melodies. Heck, they're *melodies* folks... even Ashkenazy could learn a thing or three from these realizations performed by Ms. Gottler! Brava!
Finally somebody who writes something that's actually accurate. Thanks for posting so I didn't have to. I too have been listening for well over 45 years. Playing them also since I was 16. What an interesting and refreshing way to interpret these.
The muted notes in no. 4 coda was a super interesting take. I love how dry and precise your piano sounds in this etude.
The OP 10 nr 1 is the coolest i've never heard !i like the meditative tempos..
Brilliant performance, i loved everything and you're an extraordinary artist! By the way the passage from 3 to 4 is something out of this world. The way You used the resonance from the Ending of the 3rd and the bump of the pedal to start the fu**in rockin' 4th it can't be teached, you got to feel it and, damn, i felt it into every single bone of my body! Love You from the very deep!
Love the crispness of bringing out the voices and melody lines in such relaxed way. Great performance
She made the Etude op10 no 1 … The stairway To Heaven. I’d love to play that piece one day.
So beautiful❗️
Holy moly you look like a piano goddess :D Absolutely amazing rendition
Wow!! Just love your connection with the piano! Your lovely personality as seen in your tutorials is expressed so beautifully here with precision and musicianship!! Well done and thank you for sharing your talent with us!!
Finally! Someone doing real art with these. Amazing!!!❤❤❤
0:01 No.1
2:20 No.2
3:59 No.3
8:24 No.4
l'unica che suona una melodia nascosta straordinaria , e bellissima
Belleza, con claridad, expresión y emotividad. Felicidades!!!
Gorgeous and great hand movements
Interesting hidden voices brought out in the LH in No,2.
Never thought of that . . . BRAVA for your overall perfoermance!
Holy heck that interpretation of op 10 no 2 (my favorite Chopin etude) is so good. Overall brilliant performance!
Really like the way performed from 1:00 - 1:15
i absolutely loved your op 10 no 1 interpretation the inner voices were amazing and creates an entire new piece. learning that etude rn and gonna steal some ideas here for my interpretation :p
J’aime bien aussi l’interprétation de la 2ème! Très personnel et intéressant et la fin ce ralentissement!
Amazing Performances!
Excellent!! I, honestly, don't know how one can play that well without at least three hands. Gorgeous!!
Outstanding technic ! Bravo
Je suis d'accord! Incroyable... Quel soin pour faire ressortir la voix médiane. Formidable, vraiment...
exactement!
i want to happily join your concert ! please come to korea for your chopin recital
A fresh youthful approach to these classic gems. I especially loved her broad , sweeping reach in the C Major Etude.
Wonderfully preformed! ❤❤❤
Oh, very very impressive. You are a genius. I follow your channel so long now and I am a musician as well (although hobby only) and I love these Chopin pieces which my father played when he was still alive. I know how much work is behind such a performance. So, my admiration and respect is infinite!
... and after watching it now the 3rd time I see these inner voices which @ZKLoftiTone mentioned 2 weeks ago in the comments. This is really very impressive and it contributes to feel in another world listening to you. Thank you so much!
The live rehearsal was impressive, this one an outstanding 'debut' on the world stage and very well presented.
beauty and music always go very well together. Wonderful !
Absolutely exquisite Annique ❤
Thinking about how much work must have gone into playing that so beautifully ...
Antique’s piano performance is just awesome. She is also very sexy-way more than Lola, and the rest.. It has been a joy watching her prepare the Chopin etudes, her one-hour challenges, and I am totally in love with her humor.
Bella bella bella y elegante 😍😍😍😍 hermoso Chopin en tus manos y tu rostro 👏👏👏👏👏
I love You 😍
Congratulations!!! from PATAGONIA CHILE 🇨🇱
You are Fantastic!!!!!
Thank you so much for uploading this beautiful, revealing performance. I have never heard such OP 10-1. I also liked the speed of OP 10-3, which you explained in another video of this channel the other day. You move people.
Bravo!!!!!
A well deserved product of hard work and determination. Great achievement x
Thank you Annique🥺💜 you’ve brought so much light & inspiration to my music journey!! What a bright blessing you are💛
