@@alainspiteri502 I will respectfully disagree with you. Cziffra is just shallow piano gymnastics. Pollini for my taste has power and depth to it, making the etudes more than just show off pieces
I learned this piece in high school, and have been playing it now for 40+ years. My teacher showed me the secret / physics needed to play this piece correctly and with less effort. Very slowly, and with great exaggeration, start each chord of the arpeggio with your wrist flat. As you play the 4 notes of the chord, lift your wrist upward and slightly to the right. I recommend about 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) of wrist elevation between the start of the chord and the end of the chord. Repeat this motion for each occurrence of every chord, yielding a "circular" motion of the wrist. The magnitude of this motion decreases naturally as you play the piece faster, but start off very exaggerated to firmly establish this mechanical trajectory. Once you learn the notes, play it 4 times (firmly) in rhythms (dash dot dash dot / dot dash dot dash / dash dot dot dot / and dot dot dot dash). Then play it evenly. Next, play it slowly with your eyes closed. Count missed notes, and work your way down to zero. Then work the metronome up slowly over a year, always starting a good bit below your current comfortable tempo, and ratcheting up one notch each time. Your are training your upper spinal chord. :^> This routine takes 20-30 minutes per day. Toward the end, add the accents on the 5th finger. Although I do have big hands (I reach a 12th), this motion doesn't require it. It is really wonderful to play this piece at 196 while being able to focus entirely on the "shape" of the sound you are producing.
Love the idea that there might be a technical reason, besides innate lack of talent, that I haven't been able to play this piece crisply. (I would have been a great pianist if I had just practiced more) Consolation: it's even fun to play sloppily because the chord structure is sweet
@foxjacket Different editors may provide different metronome markings. (I don't know if Chopin provided any such indications in his manuscripts or not.) In any event, being prepared and able to play it faster than required can yield a more relaxed, nuanced and "natural" performance at "slower" tempos.
What appears to be simple arpeggios becomes a nightmarish agonizing practice session times 100 lol... Very difficult to perform this piece properly. This is the best interpretation I've ever heard by far. What a sweet and short piece. Can be played with grandeur and volume or as a beautiful meditative but still swift piece.
@@TheRockerboy999 I doubt anyone would say this is the third easiest Chopin Étude, let alone the third easiest Chopin piece! www.henle.de/en/detail/?Title=Etudes_229 The publisher Henle ranks it as a 9 for [technical] difficulty, along with a few more Études, Ballade IV, Prélude No. 24 and Sonatas 2 and 3.
This is the easiest to learn and memorize, but the hardest to play without hitting wrong notes, especially the suspended notes on the ascending 4th progression before the climax, and not to mention the UGE stretches
Best interpretation ever of this extremely difficult etude that my piano teacher, Alexander Sellier, called 'a pianistic monstrosity,' not believing his ears when I played it to him at age 22-while I started piano lessons only at the age of 18-, because I studied Pollini's take. It was my first rendering of a really difficult piece, and it took me months to get it right-or almost. While my teacher was a student of Wilhelm Backhaus, Edwin Fischer and Walter Gieseking, his taste was more for German classical music, especially Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. I did not learn anything from him as I was not a fan of that music at all. I learnt by simply listening to my favorite pianists, Marguerite Long, Arthur Rubinstein, Wilhelm Kempff, Svjatoslav Richter, Claudio Arrau, Maurizio Pollini and Martha Argerich. And it is so to this day.
***** Is there a secret to hit all those white notes correctly? Or is it just practice? It's taking longer than usual for me, comparing to other études.
The way of studying this piece (I am doing it right now) is studying the chords only for a few weeks. So, the same notes, but without all of the arpeggios. And try doing it without looking. That way the chords will be in your hands, and then you can move on to arpeggios.
Cantavanda Thanks for sharing, but I don't understand your method. To grasp the chords entirely is impossible for most of them. I can do it just for the first in C Major but even then my hand would get stressed and crisp. The move to F Major already is impossible to grasp, not to talk about the more esoteric ones. I think this method would not work for me, for it's by moving in the correct way that you are going to deal with these enormous tensions, it's by using your wrist intelligently. I have observed since the start many years ago that the movement to the right into the treble is easier to execute than the reverse movement. And still today I have this difficulty. I have tried various exercises or methods to deal with the difficulties of these arpeggiated moves, but all of them did not help. Thus I think the secret is to do the movement in a very slow tempo without ever accelerating and without any tension getting up in your hand, in a totally relaxed style. Also important is to use your entire arm for the movement until up in the shoulder for most of the piece is to be played in a healthy forte which requires some weight of the hand, without getting tense. It's extremely difficult. I have written to a number of our greatest virtuosi, including pianists like Steven Osborne, Piers Lane and Andrei Gavrilov, but they all replied that for conveying the technique and give practice details, we would need to sit together behind the piano, and that it can't be conveyed by email. Back in 1975, I was able to play the etude in my piano class to the amazement of my teacher, but only with great tension in my hand and arm. I understood that that was not the right way to play it for I would be unable to play anything thereafter. So I haven't solved the riddle yet in all those years:)
Let me understand, in this etude, you do arpeggios with both hands, but it is mostly the same notes, just an octave higher. The study method is to play exactly the same notes as the partition, but as chords (not arpeggios), and in one octave. It is really hard to explain, and I might make a video soon.
It was so perfect, just like Pollini's performance, which is called the standard of Chopin Etude. This album will be remembered for a long time. It was a very cool and clean performance.
man i just can´t believe how awesome this " piece " is. Its really remarkable that someone could compose such great music and a the same time basically inventing an etude... its really supposed to strenghten your technical abilities but its so marvellious at the same time- I could listen to it over and over and over again. :P
@@Annihilator_5024 welcome to high school ellis autism brain, i’m an adult now and honestly don’t know what fuck shit i was on, can’t even play piano anymore + haven’t had a special interest in 2 years
I think Chopin was being somewhat humorous with the first two etudes of Op 10. The first etude stretches the average hand as wide as humanly possible. The second etude contracts the average hand as much as humanly possible.
battlefielder128 Chopin understood piano technique very well, especially hand rotation and arm weight. This etude (and many others) when played with the correct hand movement do not require stretching the "average hand as wide as humanly possible". In all video recordings of this etude it is clear that proffesional pianists play it effortlessly because they play it the right way. I'm not saying the etude is easy, and it does require fast shifts in the position of the hand but it does not require any special stretching of the hands.
This is one of my favorites piano pieces! To me, the 19 year-old Chopin, familiar with Bach's C major prelude from WTC I, decided to show what he could do with C major. Then he proceeded to push the limits of what was possible both musically and physically. Pollini's interpretation has always been my favorite: clear, fast, beautiful, and epic.
J think first concerto at 19Y old and studies 22 , op10-1 - 4 - are not the best musically , technic it's sure . To day Pollini is very well but there is Alfred Cortot with his recording since 1933 and then j think Cortot is better Pollini a student for Cortot or Rubinstein it's sure
the best thing about Pollini's Op10 No1 is that he maintains forte throughout the whole play with only a little bit of beautiful fluctuation. Everyone tries to be too clever on this etude, but I like the consistently forte version the best.
I really like this piece of music. I played piano from age 7-15, then i switched to electric bass because i thought rock music was the real thing, went to study jazz and became a professional bass player (ironically playing anything else but rockmusic). recently i practiced the piano again and became slightly obsessed with this étude, practiced it for some time even if i know i won't be able to play it as fast as this or as accurate, just for the fun of practicing i guess. I like the harmonies a lot! So one day fooling around with my electric bass and a delay pedal i discovered a way to arpeggiate in a similar style to this étude. So here's my hommage to this wonderful piece of music, my very personal étude nr. 1 on the electric bass. ruclips.net/video/ZgrL-CBCZUg/видео.html Thank you frédéric chopin!
@Philip I'd say they're both on a crazy difficult level while testing different techniques. The thirds are absolutely insane, but getting the articulation and even the notes right on this one is ridiculously difficult too. Both really difficult.
Yes it is as almost always water as is running, and in my heart it is also in Chopins life like the ballads is even a development to the etyds refining even if etyds is so difficult, beauty
The power of this music that it never gets stale or boring. No matter how many times I listen to this set of studies it is a spring of new inspiration and vigor always tears to my eyes. Celestial art never dies but endures and lingers.❤one love to the composer and the performer.
in general, waterfall songs have always been a huge success for me... heinrich hoffmann's "by the mountain torrent", this beautiful song, even junichi masuda's music for Route 47/48 on Pokemon HGSS... Just amazing....
Yep. He became livid whenever editors insisted on giving his works program titles. Not even the Revolutionary Etude nor the Funeral March were called thus by Chopin. Which is all to the good as it allows many reinterpretations of the music and keeps it alive for centuries.
This Etude is, indeed, the most DIFFICULT of all of the 24. To play it correctly is one thing; to play it with sublime beauty and radiance as Pollini does is a whole different ballgame. NO ONE comes close to Pollini's artistic mastery of this Etude.
Listening to this is equivalent to sniffing half a pound of extra-quality cocaine; Narcotics squad should have him arrested immediately after the release of the album
+smb123211 I would be one of those who would prefer more shading and dynamics (not dramatics). Of course Pollini is technically flawless, and I usually like his playing, but preferred Kissin's RUclips performance and some others who brought more nuance and balanced power with delicacy, and brought out inner voices.
Hörte den großen Meister in vielen Konzerten, zuletzt in Köln mit der Kreisleriana, Die op. 10 hörte ich in der Berliner Philharmonie 1972 oder 1973. Bei der Nr. 1 stieg er aus und begann von vorne. Vielleicht, weil ihm die Modulation nach A-Dur zu übergriffig erschien, vielleicht aber auch deshalb, weil er den Abend mit dem kommunistischen Manifest begann und Publikumspfiffe herausforderte. Wie auch immer: Ein großer Pianist, den zu erleben immer ein besonderer Genuss war.
My piano teacher told me some people would edit musical pieces starting in some places with devices to make the recording sound fluid afterwards as if done from start to finish. Yes, I talked about this Pollini recording.
I wish i was good enough to play this. Also Liszt's "Mazeppa", i wish i was good enough at piano to play that. looks I'll just be stuck with Etude en Douz Exercises.
+Charles Mathews If you aren't following the music, its the beginning of the third line down. I agree it's my favorite part. Seems like an arpeggiated G scale. Haven't taken music theory in years.
This is one of the hardest etudes, mainly because of the rapid stretching and contrasting of the hands. That skill is almost impossible to accomplish when playing with dynamics
It’s one of the easiest for me just cuz I’m good at arpeggios but I can see how it’s harder for other ppl like winter wind and torrent took me much longer for me to learn than this

Hm. It reminds me of navy blue paint in a victorian house in the morning.
dont get fooled by this etude, its cmajor and all and its basically arpeggios but its the hardest of his 27 etudes to perform at tempo
Populous3 Tutorials that's right!
It’s not that hard for me except for like 4 measures in the middle.. particularly the one where it is a-e-a-c#

Wie auch immer: Ein großer Pianist, den zu erleben immer ein besonderer Genuss war.

+Charles Mathews If you aren't following the music, its the beginning of the third line down. I agree it's my favorite part. Seems like an arpeggiated G scale. Haven't taken music theory in years.
Pollini fa sembrare tutto semplice....
Beautiful melodies become utterly nightmare.
정말 멋진 곡입니다
Unbelievable
my favorite part 0:40 to 0:50
I can play it but a little bitt slower and still make some mistakes. I have been playing for 2 years now.
This is one of the hardest etudes, mainly because of the rapid stretching and contrasting of the hands. That skill is almost impossible to accomplish when playing with dynamics
It’s one of the easiest for me just cuz I’m good at arpeggios but I can see how it’s harder for other ppl like winter wind and torrent took me much longer for me to learn than this
BRAVO BRAVO BRVO!!
