Sergei Prokofiev - 4 Etudes, Op. 2 (Chiu) (1909)

- The first etude start with a bombastic theme accompanied by a relentless stream of chords, followed by a contrasting, carefree theme. The rest of the piece is the struggling between these 2 themes.
The second etude features complex polyrhythms and counterpoint disguised in simple, melancholic themes.
The tempo marking "Andante semplice" of the third etude is indeed misleading, as the piece soon transformed into motoric streams of double thirds. It is worth mentioning that Prokofiev didn't play this etude in the premiere concert.
The fourth etude is jazzy and dark with relentless energy, similar to Suggestion Diabolique.
0:00 Etude no. 1 in d minor
2:21 Etude no. 2 in e minor
5:16 Etude no. 3 in c minor
9:08 Etude no. 4 in c minor - เพลง

I have always loved his insane harmonies. Out of this world.
And themes!
Hey! I want to share with you my piano piece inspired by Prokofiev second piano etude, I hope you will enjoy it! th-cam.com/video/d-gf7ZFVZhM/w-d-xo.html
The second one is so underrated. My personal favorite of the four.
I love the way Chiu plays Prokofiev! One of my go-to pianists for sure!
The first one really has this futuristic sound to it. The second seems like a twisted take on some Czerny, the third a falling nightmare, the finale seems like a cursed, russian, pre-jazz take on a Boogie Woogie.
The first sounds like his second piano concerto especially the scherzo and finale
Me : Looks at thumbnail
Haha, this is what I was looking for
*Video starts*
Me : Sweats Intensely
Ike button go brrrrrr
Ah Prokofiev, a superb talent for transcribing a touch of madness with a touch of brilliance 🧡
Prokofiev was writing film music before films came out !
Exactly.
Really sad that no one use these pieces for making the movies.
If films didn't come out then it's not film music
@@arionthedeer7372 It's a joke.
@@4tr_m It still doesn't make sense.
Imagine being one of the best pianist of Russia being just 18...
Круто, чё)
There’s some pianists like that who stand out nowadays, e.g. Alexander Malofeev. Age 19 and has already played many of Rachmaninoff’s key works with the kind of sensitivity that only comes with age, and all of that at 19. In my mind he’s amazing.
Yep just cant relatz
@@27dimes Malofeev certainly is a remarkable talent. Can’t wait to hear him attempt some Scriabin one day as I feel that is always a great indicator of the talent of Russian pianists.
I just imagine being in this man's head where this magnificent cacophony resided.
Some of my favourite etudes
agree, my piano teaher is playing it
I think this is my favourite so far oh sheep. Simple but still virtuosic. Virile but tender. Great pianistic writing technique. Bold. Thanks for sharing. Regards to the flock.
Nice, dense harmonies.
Oh, sorry I didn’t understand, but some wouldn’t have thought of that, and some would have thought you didn’t ‘now about music. But now I understand what you meant to say.
@@chillpill2016 I understand. I read a little more on the history of how the term is/has been used so I thought better to remove it. Words mean things and have effects on people. No ill will meant. Cheers!
No. 2 is a masterpiece
Ha un'atmosfera unica quello studio!
🙂👍
The fourth etude is riveting, but ends so suddenly. It seems like he gave up on it halfway through. I wish there was a development section like in the first.
Wow! Such great pieces and well played!
I’m kinda surprised these aren’t more popular competition repertoire by now, audiences and judges love Prok and this set isn’t hard to warm up to imho. I guess it might be hard to program maybe if there were twice as many or something.
Well, it was popular in just one competition. In Tchaikovsky competition, all the competitors that played this opus moved to the next round. This is extremely suspicious because they were all Russian and Chinese and this is a really obscure work. It's really not liked in other competitions due to being early opus and as you pointed out, brevity.
They are recorded surprisingly seldom, given their quality. Despite the low opus number, they are pure Prokofiev and belong with the Toccata, the _Sarcasms_ and the _Visions_ _fugitives_ among his best early piano compositions.

Perhaps it’s because of how nos 1, 2, and 4 are moderately difficult while no 3 is insane
Thank you for uploading this!!!! , Frederick Chiu did a great showing Prokofiev pure creativity with a touch of madness, the last etude remind me of a mad evil scientist brewing chemicals in a dungeon
Enjoying these little heard prokofiev pieces. Challenging talent.
Good commentary
Amazing playing! So complex and challenging Etudes!
The first etude was really cool but the second one, just outstanding! One of the best and most difficult composers to play.
Fascinating
My love Prokofiev
Ottima esecuzione... Lo studio numero 3 è trascendentale!
Wow! I'm playing Etudes №4 on my exams
Bravo
Thanks for the upload!
No

Very nice! Including the full name of the performer in the video description above would be even better.
The third one is so difficult...
how
edit: nvm
Difficulty ranking (high to low): 3 1 4 2
@@jiaxuli1013 I don't agree with you. I want to replace the last two etudes. Four etude based on tremolos actually easier than scale-based 2-nd etude.
@@Ar1osssa Yes, I agree with you now. I listened to the 2rd again and I found there are actually a lot of works to do and to practice on left hand, which I think is harder than what's required in 4th.
These etudes are extremely difficult.
Inspired by this splendid performance
I might have a dream of Prokofiev visiting Tokyo
From
Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
The last etude sounds like the end of Busoni Chopin variations !Russia has always been full of brilliant pianists and they udsually compose ! The first piece here is so immature I found it in my 20's and even then I recognized its brashness as immature . Stravinsky or Bartok early etude sets are thinking mature works . Chiu ois one of the best pianists around ! His Chopin etudes say great things !!!
The first one has has harmonically a very Rachmaninoff like feeling
2:22
I'll stick to Czerny and Hanon for the time being.
Don't play Hanon it's shit
@@sheep6562 why is Hanon shit?

プロコのエチュード初めて聴いた。
なんかラベルみたいな曲想と思う。
そうですね、でもプロコの音楽はなんと言うか今までの音楽のデフォルメ化を行った人なのである意味やっちゃった人ですw
もしくはピエロの音楽と言った方が分かり易いかな..
2:01 what or who is the "Ossia"?
alternative passage
A substituted part that you can play instead
@jeff henderson what?
why does the first etude say 4/4 when it’s 6/8?
It is a misprint
Could be that Prokofiev is writing the notes as hemiolas, instead of written triplets. But it's most probably a misprint.
È un errore, infatti nel mio spartito personale è in 6/8.
I thought no 2 was nicely played.
鬼ムズいやないかい
0:31 tho
ok but no one is talking about the time signature misprint
what missprint?
@@valle2353 the time signature should be 6/8 and not 4/4 (C)
someone else commented on it 3 weeks ago
Why 0:05 is 4/4? It’s 6/8 😒
The publisher probably messed up or smth
It's like a funny parody of Liszt and Chopin meet Scriabin and Debussy. As a pianist (and this is my opinion), I can't make a case for anyone playing these, except for the purpose of cataloguing. Only the 3rd really stood out to me as Prokofiev trying to do something different. The other 3 are pretty bland in comparison to other early works by Prokofiev, including even his Op.1, composed at 16.
Prokofiev was of course known for his sarcasm, but I don’t think there is much to be found here. Every piece in this set is musically viable.
No
I’ve really enjoyed listening to them so I’m grateful for the recording
