Thanks

I wish you success.

In Paderewski's and Oborin's editions the tempo of this etude is indicated as 120 bpm. Cortot in his edition didn't indicate bpm at all indicating only the character as "Agitato". So, I decided to adhere 160 bpm as indicated in Scholz'es edition. On one hand it's a kind of a compromise on the other hand it's easier not to hit a wrong note in this "not too fast" tempo.)))

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko Thank you. From today, I set not too fast tempo. I am self learner. I will often watch your movies to get some hints.

Self learner practicing such a difficult etude - my respect!

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko Thanks. I learned playing modern flute, oboe, baroque flute, oboe, making baroque flute, oboe, clavichord by my self. I have studied modern piano with private teacher in childhood. Playing piano is harder and self learning that is also hard. But I have enjoyed that for these years.

Without any doubts you are a gifted person.

You put me at stuck. I've never thought about it. But on the second thought I would say that both and.

Just making sure so when you swing your finger ex. 2nd finger it rotates your wrist with it right?

Sorry, I didn't go so deep into the analysing of each position of my fingers and wrist. The only thing I can tell is that it should be comfortable for you. Your finger and wrist positions and my positions may considerably differ because of the different initial structure of our hands, joints, etc.

Hi Richard. I would love to have a recital on such grands if there were a possibility. Maybe sometime it will be possible. Thank you for your kind words.

Hi, John. Thanks a lot!

First of all thanks for your compliments. This etude is really "pain in the ass" (forgive me that liberty). Apart from the jumps in the left hand to combine two excluding each other things - staccato and legato in the upper voice one has to be very inventive with the pedaling both connecting notes and making chords sound staccato. As for my sitting position, yes, I answered that question before. The only thing I have to say is that I'm sorry if it gives you an uncomfortable feeling. Earlier I had played sitting higher but then I had to change my sitting position. I have played only 20 Chopin's etudes so far. 4 have left. If I have enough time I'll try to complete them but for sure I don't know if I will.

I'm sure that you'll come to this level considerably earlier.

Thanks

Thanks

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko May I ask what sort of piano you play in this record? I guess it is digital? BTW, I am listening to this AGAIN (and again), b/c I like your version as much as of Yukio Yokoyama from this movie. th-cam.com/video/r-U0zCad0FY/w-d-xo.html He was 3rd at the Chopin Competition so he knows stuff. :)

Yes I play a digital piano. But to tell the truth I don't like the sound that you hear in the TH-cam version. The thing is that the TH-cam platform has a tendency to distort the sound in different ways. For example it distorted the sounds of my 3 performances (etudes no 4, 5 and 12) making them sound 5 times louder than in the normal way. In spite of considerable numbers of views I had to delete and publish again no 4 and 12 so far. No 5 I'll also delete and publish again if I can find a spare time. For the time being you may listen to the playlist and compare the loudness of, say, no 4, 5 and 6 and you'll understand what I mean. By the way would you mind writing to me and telling whether this sound disproportion of no 5 really takes place on your gadget?

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko Hi, I heard no problem with No4 and No5. I have windows 10 and Chrome browser. BTW, your No5 is again brilliant :) :) I would be sorry if you deleted it :)

Thank you for your feedback and compliments.

Thanks. I'm afraid I don't get you fully. I can be responsible only for myself. All pauses and accents if any have been made according my feeling of the musical dramaturgy.

There are two reasons. The first one is that wearing headphones makes my sensation of the keys close to the key sensation of an acoustic grand piano. The second one is that wearing headphones makes better the sound control.

Not compleatly. In couple of places I feel that I caught adjacent keys.

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko it was still probably the most unique interpretation of this piece I’ve heard so far

Thanks

Thanks. I will.

Thanks. It's Yamaha CLP 685.

Thanks

I hope so

Thanks. I'm glad you've noticed it

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks. I'm glad you've noticed it.

Thanks for your compliments. As for piano playing technique it's too complicated issue and I'm not sure video format could rightly cover necessary issues. Nevertheless maybe one day I'll regard this idea provided there are enough subscribers to address to.

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko I understand. You have the fastest 10 4 from chopin I've seen, so that made me curious. You're also very handsome 😉. Maybe if you would talk to people and explain things about the etudes as well, make informative videos, etc you would get more subscribers, because you have the technique for it

Thanks. I'll think about it. The realization of this idea also depends upon many other factors but principally it's not a bad idea. If circumstances allow I'll think upon the realization of this idea.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll do my best.

Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks for your compliments. As for "clarity" apart from a couple of wrong notes I took when recording this etude it's OK. By the way this etude is quite challenging and I would indicate it having level 8 and not 7 as indicated at Henle's. As for Czerny's etudes I'm not a big specialist in them. I played neither 139 nor 599 opuses and from 740 op I played only about a dozen. Nevertheless those several etudes were enough for me to understand the considerable usefulness of Czerny's etudes. So, you may start from anyone you want.

Thanks. All in due time. Maybe.

Thanks. I wish you success.

Thanks

Thanks😅

Thanks. There are already 16 Chopin's etudes on my channel. Op10 no 1 is among them.

Thanks.

To some extent yes.

@@alterego.sergeydotsenko Do you prefer Hanon Excercises for good technique? I m studying hanon's first 20 excercises right now and I feel like I am getting better on even fingers. Although I can play scales better now, I feel like I am losing the delicate touches I had. Playing the excercises for 3 weeks now and I am afraid I started to hit the keys instead of gentle presses. Have you ever played Hanon Excercises? Thanks.

Unfortunately I've never played Hanon's exercises. Better to say I had that scores but just tried a couple of pages. Anyway these exercises proved to be quite good according to many opinions. As for me if it comes to exercises I'd prefer Czerny's etudes for example. There is a kind of music at least. As for losing "gentle presses" and so on I'd rather abstain from going into details because such kind of issues are too complicated to answer in one message. I can only tell you one thing. If you feel the necessity to practice Hanon's exercises and develop the strength and agility of your fingers go on. "Gentle presses" can wait.

Thanks

​@@alterego.sergeydotsenko😮😮 Sorry, wtf? That's incredible

Спасибо

I AM a pianist who's life was not connected with music as far as strange it might sound. What's more important I'm a musician and this doesn't depend whether one's life was or wasn't connected with music. Music always was and is incide me. Thank you for your high appraisal of my playing.
