  • I can say in all honesty that this piece is even harder than it looks. Would I say this is the most technically demanding piece I've ever played? Probably... Will I try to find an even more difficult piece to learn and record in the upcoming future? Also probably :D (SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out)

    as someone who has spent 5 months trying to learn the original 10-2 and still can't even get to 50% speed, this is just amazing to me.

      I have been practicing that for about 5 months too, got to 75% speed but every time I play it it kills my hands XD

    • @zswu31416
      @zswu31416 3 роки тому +1

      Actually this is _easier_ than the original in terms of the finger strengths and stuff, it's just extremely confusing and complicated

    • @zswu31416
      @zswu31416 3 роки тому

      Also, I have criticism for your "12 Levels of Beethoven" video. Firstly, keep the tempo consistent (Referring to Hammerklavier). If you can't play fast, then either practice or slow everything down. Second, don't use too much pedal in Waldstein. Waldstein is meant to be luminous and playful, and adding too much pedal just ruins it.

      @@SLDDPiano Wow what an honor! Honestly it'd be hard for me to choose. Maybe a chopin concerto, maybe Rach 2 or 3, but these are a little overplayed. If I had to really narrow it down I might like something a little less played like the Grieg piano concerto, the Moszkowski piano concerto or Rach 1(1st movement is criminally underrated).

      ⁠@@Thomas_RuizI mean it is a study, so it’s not necessarily meant to be super musically enjoyable, but I don’t think it’s fair to call nonsense. There’s clearly a lot of thought put into the arrangement and harmonies, different voices and melodies, etc. by Godowsky, and it can certainly be enjoyable to at least admire that.
