Carol Tucker, our children's piano teacher played this song for her sick friend. We helped her recording this video. So beautiful. The piano is Yamaha AvantGrand N1.
This is so sad. I really hope Carol's friend was able to hear this wonderful piece! Carol played it really amazing! Thank you for sharing this and best wishes!!!!
that rendition of this etude would be the way Chopin himself would have presented it. those secret notes that i have never heard before actually lifted my God given spirit to a place where i was so entranced that i did not want to return. absolutely beautiful. thank you Carol.

Absolutely gorgeous. The recordings I grew up on were ruled by a metronome, and no emotion was permitted. I know that Mr. Chopin published this piece as an Etude, or "study," but I think subsequent versions would make him happy!~
Beautiful. She shows off the AvantGrand very well. I wonder how many viewers understand that this instrument has no strings, but instead creates a 'digital' (electronic 'sample') sound? I have the smaller NU1 upright. Incredible technology, with more advantages than disadvantages.

@@mrgrinch8540 all playing a piece involves interpretation, always and without exceptions. Check "my Way" by Frank Sinatra sung by different singers, and you will see it's not the same thing. Are we really debating this here?
@@Alberto_Salva i never said there is no such thing as interpreting a piece. Im talking about this specific rendition. Do you see any changes is has to offer.
@@mrgrinch8540 all pieces include intepretation. It's not something that you put in it if you want and you don't if you do not want. It's like a painter: it always introduces his or her own style, even if it repaints the painting of someone else. There is always a unique touch, unless you copycat it or photograph it: but you cannot do any of that with MUSIC. You do not take a photo of music: personalization and a personal touch will always be there. You can only record a piece: and it will be IDENTICAL only if it is the copy of the very same execution by the very same player. But even if the very same pianist playing twice the same place at two different occasions, will be unable to reproduce it IDENTICAL to his or her first performance. But are we really here explaining these obvious things? Is really out there somebody who believes that the "perfectly objective" playing of a piece actually exists? What's happening to us?
Indeed. She has her grand piano but we definitely wouldn't have been able to record the music with this studio quality without having that acoustic piano being a real studio with all the recording equipments. So we choose to use N1 instead which is a good workaround because she can still mostly feel the real piano and we can capture the sound noise-free. This piece was captured in 16-bit Integral sampling so it definitely won't reflect truly what N1 can delivery. Check out this other piece below. ruclips.net/video/IW1x_gFLlTI/видео.html It was recorded with AG03 which yield 32-bit floating sample - much better sound quality. Still however don't equate N1 to a real grand piano. It's in its own category
It's an AvantGrand hybrid piano... it has real grand piano keys and hammers but instead of strings it "hits" light sensors. The sound you hear is digital. A lot of the spatial element gets lost here because they recorded the sound directly from the piano instead of playing it through the piano's speakers. They're great because you don't have to tune them but they feel incredibly realistic.
well done! her tempo is slightly slower which gives our ears time to appreciate each note, other interpretations are so fast as if the player is trying to prove he knows how to play faster than anyone else ¬¬'

You can feel all her experience and emotions wich she puts in to play this adorable piece
My third time watching. Just excellent.
Haha this is my fourth time watching! One upped you!

One of the recordings i like the most....
beautiful! I've never heard so many of the inner melodies brought out so nicely! Really great performance!
Just lovely. So balanced and relaxed. Thanks.

What a cool piano! And such beautiful playing :) thank you
Love your interpretation of this piece and the rubato. Very expressive!
Non solo i "rubati", ma anche i "trattenuti"!!!!!!
Veramente tanta passionalità, complimenti!!!
this is my favourite etude and you performed it so brilliantly! thank you very much for a wonderful start to my day.
My fav etude is waterfall op10 no.1 but this is easily my second favorite
So beautifully played! Such sensitivity and brilliance, most wonderful and exceptional! Thank you.
I can feel the love, I can feel the sadness. This is the best interpretation.
Absolutely gorgeous. The recordings I grew up on were ruled by a metronome, and no emotion was permitted. I know that Mr. Chopin published this piece as an Etude, or "study," but I think subsequent versions would make him happy!~
Chopin didn't write this to be played metronomic and I doubt very much he would approved of it being played without emotion.
She's definitely top 10
Her playing of this etude just hit my heart really hard even before reading the description at the end. Almost made me cry to be honest
Tocar essa música: Meu sonho!
I can't believe how well this is played on a digital piano! Bravo!
yes I agree with the comments.
Amazing that she is a Piano teacher but plays this the best I have ever heard.
In Belgium we call this 'Prachtig'
en het is idd heel prachtig
Beautiful. She shows off the AvantGrand very well. I wonder how many viewers understand that this instrument has no strings, but instead creates a 'digital' (electronic 'sample') sound?
I have the smaller NU1 upright. Incredible technology, with more advantages than disadvantages.
I have N1X. However my recorded sound is different from this one. Which instrument voice is used for this recoding do you think?
so beautiful.... I love chopin...
Pure beautiful and played with such depth - straight from the soul
So beautifully played. Thank you
Beautiful! Unrushed and elegant.

"rushed" is fine as long as you have dynamic control, phrasing, and overall know what your doing

We need more of your playing, beautiful
Not forced...a gentle rendition with feeling.
Wow ... She really plays with alot of feeling ... A lot better than others I have heard perform this.
Very nice playing, clear RH and LH, smooth motion movement during rapid passages and coda. Great job.
so beautiful, even more beautiful than by other famous pianists in concert
Thank you recommendations
Very well done. And a fairly convincing sound from the digital!
absolutely beautiful
I hope your friend is well. X
Brava, Carol! I have the chills from your playing. So stunningly beautiful and impeccably well done!!!!! My ears thank you, and so do I.
Lovely

Beautiful :)
100%!!!
너무 잘치시네요
This lady plays truly amazingly. (Not sure the N1 is on her level, but not bad actually)
I mean this performance deserved a real piano.
The N1 is quite decent.

Not bad. Bravo¡¡
It was worth it.
👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is it digital piano?
It's a hybrid piano. Digital sound but everything else is the same as an acoustic piano.
It's Remind me of pride and prejuidce
Is this an upright piano or a grand ?
does it look grand to you?
Electric grand
It's an AvantGrand hybrid piano... it has real grand piano keys and hammers but instead of strings it "hits" light sensors. The sound you hear is digital. A lot of the spatial element gets lost here because they recorded the sound directly from the piano instead of playing it through the piano's speakers. They're great because you don't have to tune them but they feel incredibly realistic.
Is this an acoustic Piano?
No it's not. It is rather a 'hybrid'. It's a digital piano that closely stimulates the feel and action of an acoustic piano.
well done! her tempo is slightly slower which gives our ears time to appreciate each note, other interpretations are so fast as if the player is trying to prove he knows how to play faster than anyone else ¬¬'
very decent playing
The N1 is not optimal but your piano playing is beautiful.
N1 is great?
Why not an acoustic piano for the same price to play Chopin ?
