      @@yusouph2002 Technically definitely yes, but the majority of his works that are overly difficult sacrifice musicality and pianism in my opinion. Ofc Liszt-Beethoven or Berlioz or major paraphrases such as Don Juan are much harder, but compared to Chopin, far less people are playing them anyways (especially 1st or 2nd versions of large works and symphonic transcriptions).

    THANK YOU for not dismissing op 25 no 2 as super easy as far as Chopin etudes go! I've played quite a few and dabbled with this one but never quite got it to sound the way I want it to. Those hidden polyrhythms really trip me up! I've taken a break from piano for a while and am looking at the etudes again. Now that my technique has improved over a time of pausing and reflecting on it, I'm thinking of possibly tackling no 6 sometime. So hard, but possibly the most beautiful of the 24 etudes IMO. There's just so many musical possibilities with thirds!

      for example, horowitz barely had any physical ability left towards the end of his career, but we loved him just as much because he *owned* his music.

    I fully agree with your ranking. For my feeling 25/6 is really the most difficult one, which already my teacher said when I was 12 years old. I tried to play it, but of course I failed. I am now practicing it for my next home recital in November. (And I am happy with my progress.) The etude with the octaves is something written for me. I do not seem to have difficulties with it, surprising my piano teacher. (BTW I am 73 years old The exercise with the sixths is also interesting. I used to play it without many difficulties. My father told me that Rubinstein used to play it every morning as first peace. I don't know whether it is a true story. But I can believe that it is a good "mantra". I did not play all Chopin etudes. I am not a professional, not at all - I am a technician in electronics and IT. At my last home recital I was performing 25/1, knowing for the first time that it was called the Aeolian Harp. Thanks for your contrubutions and the best of luck for you.

    I play about 15 of them so far---its a very safe bet that as Artur Rubinstein once said" I'd never want to be on stage alone w a Godowski transciption!!"-- that 99.99% of ALL pianists---it's not really a possibility.

      @Miraak youtube is good substitute to watching TV which i stopped 10 years ago. But it is terrible for socializing. I have a background in classical music so my comment to her was mature and not all bubbly fanboy worhipping her, which is what she wants, I was slightly critical in a respectful way as well as supportive. I guess she couldn't handle that. From her deleting my comment i realize this is a hard cold business for her, driven my ego and motivated by ambition, nothing else. The impression of a personable, friendly person she gives is all deception, she only does it for her own gain. Fortunately not all pianist youtubers are like her. I have happily switched to other more honest and more professional ones.

      @@christophsiegrist3066 How dare you bully us, it's a fact some youtube creators (but not all) are self-centered whether she is or not is a matter of personal opinion, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I know plenty of creators who reply at least once over couple of months to nice and fair questions, including other pianists. She never does, and that would be ok but she asks at the end of videos to post any questions and what we think. She does it for one reason only: business. the youtube algorithm. The more comments she gets the more the algorithm proposes the video to new people and she knows it. Her cosy and friendly tone entice new subscribers, it's a business alright and it can be deceptive and frustrating to young viewers because it has all the hallmarks of social interaction without granting any social interaction. And not all portion of the population have income, young people do not. The problem is when a channel is really a commercial product but is presented to vulnerable young viewers as a social interaction when there is no free possibility of social interaction. Online paid services is something different. The problem is the ambiguity of what this is, presenting oneself as open to and encouraging social interaction but in fact doing it for $$$. I think youtube should make a clear distinction between monetized channels maybe even a different website and make it clear to viewers that their attention is being sold and generating revenues and affecting the video content and form.

It's very important otherwise you get bad technique, piece is not going to sound well and you can hurt yourself.

    I actually struggled with Op 25. No. 12 the most out of all of these. I think technically it's not as hard to hit all notes like as in 25-11, but I think it's musically much more difficult. Frankly, almost every performance of it I've heard doesn't do it justice, aside from Sokolov. I was never able to get the sound I wanted from it, but I could from 25-6 which most people think is much more difficult.

    It's interesting how different the interpretations of "difficult" is. I'm struggling with Op25.nr9 whereas I had no issues with Op25.nr12 which I found quite natural and quite easy (there are only a few difficult parts in it, everything else just flows and makes sense mechanically). Nr9 makes my hand ache and I can't quite figure out the technique to relax while at the same time getting the top melody to sing together with the octaves. I suspect I have some issues with staccato octaves + small additional notes in the same hand. It's a nut I'm going to have to crack though.

I do play it quite fast, probably around 150bpm but that is the threshold for me. I don't think I can articulate it properly if it's faster.. need different technique too I think.
      The main difference is that I can play it without cramps and physical problems whereas Op25 no 9 gives me real issues with tension. I haven't figured it out yet how to play it relaxed. I had even more problems with Op25 no 6.. that one is just impossible.

    I ask you a question, have you ever found yourself with a piano that did not allow you to play well certain complicated works such as Chopin's etudes? Pianos that because of the type of mechanics seem to offer some kind of resistance to your hands and not because the keys are very heavy but because there is "something" in the instrument that makes you can not control what you are playing, even knowing that you master those works and that you know that on other pianos you can play them without any inconvenience. And if it ever happened to you, what do you do? do you cancel the concert? haha Sorry for being so long. Best regards from Argentina, Buenos Aires.

    No 6 is very interesting, I love to play this one, it seems that you have to be in total harmony with your instrument, otherwise you might get yourself injured even. Dangerous etude. Friedman and Lhevine are gods at this etude.

    I started working on no. 6 as my first Chopin etude this week as someone who hasn't been taking piano as seriously as I originally had been 8 years ago. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I'm finding this etude fairly accessible as a first Chopin etude. I'm not working with a teacher, but my dad who has been working on this piece for over a decade said that I had the technique down. This is the most I've ever practiced classical piano my entire life, and I don't plan on slowing down until it's comfortably up to speed. I agree about the musically challenging aspect, the transitions between different passages are rly hard to get through comfortably. However, I think the left hand is really easy for almost the whole piece, and the one place it's not, it's mirroring the right hand with the same chords in each hand. So I think that makes the musical concept not super brain busting to grasp, and it's pretty straightforward to practice. It's nice to hear a serious professional say that it's super hard though.

    @maniak1768 Рік тому +2

    I'm practicing No. 12 right now and it really isn't that hard if you're looking at it on the surface. Yet, it is seducing you to become very solid in the way you're transposing all those hand positions up and down the keybord, which can actually kill your hands when playing it from beginning to end. You really have to make sure, just as in Opus 10, No. 1, that your hands remain very flexible and the intersection where the hands move over on the repeated notes between thumb and 5th finger becomes as organically flowing as possible.

  • @TimLewicki-s1t
    @TimLewicki-s1t 3 місяці тому

    You talk about elbow motion a lot. I’ve never thought about my elbow motion, and thought, “this etude forces elbow movement? I don’t think so…” So I sat down and played it and realized, “oh I guess it does.” - the only piece I ever felt that forces a certain movement was Rach3, third movement, at the very beginning when the left hand makes jumps from chord to chord, and throws in that extra note accompanying the repeated notes. - and come to think of it, it’s difficult because you have to resist twisting your wrist (resisting unnecessary movement)

    Oh well, you asked for thoughts on the Chopin Etudes. I will do only musically and melodically because I play piano for only 3 years and play easy Bach preludes like BWV 924 so I didn't take the etudes up as I don't want to break my fingers 😅
    So here it is:
    Op. 25 no. 1 - Oh my god, 1st etude of op. 25 and we're starting strong. Oh well - one of my favourite etudes from not only op. 25 but also op. 10. Those arpeggios are so beautiful, especially the middle part with the transposition back to the theme! Oh I love it! 10/10
    Op. 25 no. 2 - Hmm, I don't have much to say there. It's more based on the technique more than melodies. Still - a great theme as in all Chopin pieces. Also the polyrythm is nice. 7/10
    Op. 25 no. 3 - Ooh, gotta love the gallop! But kinda nothing more to say. 7/10
    Op. 25 no. 4 - Another one of my favourites. It's one of these pieces that you love but hate to play. The melody there is sooo cool! And the accompaniament with the jumping chords is just on point! 9/10
    Op. 25 no. 5 - And now the wrong notes. Oh wow - the middle section is just... it's sooo beautiful! I've actually heard it so many times that when people play it without the wrong notes - my brain puts ut automatically in. The music there is just mwha! 9/10
    Op. 25 no. 6 - Dramatic, fast and after the end op no. 5 is a nice change of pace. Cool runs. 8/10
    Op. 25 no. 7 - One of the slower ones. It kinda reminds me of the Prelude op. 28 no. 15 by Chopin, the "Raindrop prelude" with the repeated notes. I think Chopin might've inspired himself to write it by his own piece, anyways - melodies are just on point. Not one of my favourites, kinda skippable - 5/10
    Op. 28 no. 8 - It makes me feel I'm some kind of a flying with all those ups and downs - it actually makes this etude unique. 7/10
    Op. 25 no. 9 - Oh gosh, another one of my favourites. I gotta say, I do love cute, small, little break in the dramatic repertouire being the Chopin Etudes. Amazing melody with all those jumps actually make me feel like this little butterfly! 10/10
    Op. 25 no. 10 - I think that if etudes were people, then this etude would be a drama queen. It's soo dramatic with all those runs. But I gotta say - the middle, slower part is amazing and when the part where it comes back to the theme happens, I'm just amazed. 9/10
    Op. 25 no. 11 - Hmm, Winterwind. The greatest thing of it is probably the theme in the left hand, it's amazing. The runs of the right hand add a lot of drama to the mix if the left-handed theme wasn't enough. It's the only Chopin Etude I can play jk. I can only play the first 4 bars but I think everyone can do that. 8,5/10
    Op. 25 no. 12 - And the last of the 24 etudes - Ocean etude. As the tempo suggest - it's an etude con fuoco, with fire. I just love these arpeggios over the whole piano, I just can't pick a part of this etude that is my favourite, it's sooo beautiful. And just when the Major comes in but then back to Minor and then back to Major is just awesome! If I had to choose the best part, then it'll probably be the ending of it - it aways gives me goosebumps. That major chord is everything that we need at the end of this whole drama that is called the Chopin etudes and I think it's just the thing that I can't explain. Probably my favourite etude of all 27 etudes counting those 3 later written. 11/10
    And that's all! I think I would rather listen to more op. 25 etudes than op.10. I gotta say for the end - I adore, love and think that the op. 25 no. 12 is amazing, brilliant, talented and put more stuff that Lady Gagy said.
    Have a nice day, or night!
