    At 1:39 is the part where I just feel so happy and my eyes get watery. I think it’s because of the fact that I am already on my path of playing piano by having lessons. Some pieces make me actually cry like Un Sospiro either because they are so beautiful or that I just can’t wait to play them. What appeals to me about this part is that it gets so intense and it kind of sounds like screaming from the higher octave and it just blends in so well. I love your channel so much and I can’t wait for all the other videos you will make

      I freaking love this part because it sounds so beautifully chaotic. The tempo can be manipulated at this part to portray an ever rising urgency and a great psychological power. A technique that plays well in pieces like torrent and La Campanella. I’m with you, though. I cannot wait to play this full piece.

    1:37 starting here, the expression just builds up to earth shattering climaxes with the left and right hand, the right hand has to deal fluidity and smoothly simultaneously using the left hand leaping fron a two note chord to one note in sempre staccato in great succession. Not only the expression is just incredible but the percussive like feel on the left hand which kinda makes it sound like a drum kit playing in the background getting you moving 💃🕺🎹🎶🎵

      Good thing though you got 10 fingers but only 2 eyes. so technically you should be 5 times faster with the fingers.

Never give up and enjoy the process of building the muscle memory. It is a good mental challenge!

      I really hate it when people use flight of the bumblebee as a difficulty standard. And chopin etude op 10 no 4 isnt even close in resemblence to flight of the bumblebee. op 10 no 2 wouldve been a good comparison

    Despite the sheer difficult of the piece, this performance was very musical and entertaining to listen to. It did not feel like a battle between man and instrument, which takes a lot of mastery to pull off. Well done!

    I really like how you play this piece, other performers tend to accelerate between parts, whereas you really play all the notes, slowing down at the perfect moments
