i love your videos, i am just now working my way through all of chopins etudes and preludes, his music is like no other, and is very personal too me. I plan to visit Poland soon to see the country which inspired so much for him.
I think learning this etude is one thing, but to talk about it the whole time is quite another! I thoroughly enjoy your playing and discourses and consider it a treasure trove of inspiration and renewal of motivation for hard practicing!
You are really great teacher and a great musician! I will definitly listen to this etude in a different way then before! Many thanks to this and all your other videos!!!
You're a gift from the heavens Mr Niemczuk. After hearing your analysis I enjoy even more the music, it happens every time. Now when I hear it I listen to the accent pattern and now is much more interesting to the ear. ¡¡Muchísimas gracias!!
How did I possibly miss this until tonight? It just popped up on my feed and is brilliant! It definitely inspires me to at least read through it a few times to feel the differences between the different sections it obviously requires a lot of energy and passion to polish it but I think even working on it a little bit will totally help ones abilities. I felt I couldn’t devote myself to it though until I put more time into the third Sonata. I appreciate the fact that you gave up on it once! that is encouraging to me. It is definitely hard to let go of a piece without feeling inadequate but for the first time on my life I understand that doing so sometimes is what is needed to bring it to the next level and I have heard several professional pianist say the same thing. I only wish that these processes had been explained to me when I was younger before I quit what a loss to not know this and to abandon piano playing because you thought you had no talent. Like for instance, today I finally felt I overcame the first hurdle in the fourth movement of the third Sonata in bars specifically 109-142, I noted the date I started and I have worked for seven months on that and I finally got it, not up to tempo but I’ve got the notes! Of course that’s not the only part that I work on but that particular section I had notated the date on. You’re right he is wicked! I have found him playing around with the pianist mind in the first Movement as well where the accents are syncopated in 31-34 and in a different modulation bars 142-145, (though certainly not nearly with the vengeance he does in the étude 10/10).. and while I can play the notes and I could play the accents I know that that section has not lifted off the ground so to speak, I know you know what I mean. It is still only “rote”. I have to be content with him for infinitismal progression I wouldn’t say on a daily basis but maybe once or twice a week I will feel the battleship turn very very slowly in the direction I want it to go. Can’t wait until tomorrows practice session. I could start as soon as I woke up and had a cup of coffee but I usually wait till noon so the neighbors can take time to brace themselves. Haha. Thank you maestro and at some point I would love to hear on your new competition that you’re writing today how you approached beginning it ..were you influenced by other music or were you influenced by only things that were inside yourself, by something Browns had said or done? I would be very interested in hearing your process when you have time of course and I’m sure others would be interested as well. We can’t wait until August 1. Fly!💓 Hugs and good productive days ahead
Wow!!! This episode is super exciting. Just watched it on TV and then grabbed my phone to leave a comment. An inspirational explanation that is so clear and make us know so much more about this etude in just 33 minutes! We really appreciate and love the close-up shots on the keyboard and the slow motion part so much. The entire content of the lecture is just fascinating and powerful. Thank you again, Greg. You are amazing!✨👍💎
Grazie mille!! As always very inspiring and motivating, looking forward to spending hours and hours practicing this fantastic etude with your precious suggestions! Your enthusiasm is contagious!!❤
Really the lecture I will rewatch it many times! Your introduction and analysis of this most difficult etude got me hooked on learning music. Thank your !
Thank you for another excellent video and for the recommendation of the new Alan Walker biography. I have started reading it and it is very interesting. You are spoiling is with a new video each day.
@@gregniemczuk I have every confidence you will finish them in time. I am looking forward to seeing what surprises you have in store after this project is finished. In the meantime, I plan listen to rhse your episodes again. I am also enjoying your Greg on Grieg album. Such wonderful music 🎶
Greg is there a particular later work of Chopin that is significantly aided by mastering this etude or a work by a subsequent composer? I am not sure if his writing have all been translated from Hungarian, but do we know whether Liszt highlighted any favorite etudes or which he found most challenging?
I have allways answered, when musicians and not musicians asked me the most difficult piece that I playd - that Chopins Etude. I have never been happy with the way I played it. Btw the second place: Brahms op. 119 no. 4, the Rhapsodie in E flat
Niedzielny spacer z Jezusem Był , przyszedł w mszy świętej wysłuchanej pobożnie . Teraz czas na spacer pójść , mam Go przed oczyma . W powadze chwili z kościoła wyniesionej , pójdziemy przed siebie. Dzień umaimy w zimowy poranek , mrozem kwiaty malowane . Ha, to niezwykły dar , że gotów Nam życie obdarowywać swoim jestestwem . Korzystam chętnie bo spacer długi się zapowiada , rześkim powietrzem . Nauczyciel wystudza emocje w rozedrganym umyśle , wycisza , upiększa . Gonitwy dnia codziennego daje odpoczynek , czas Jego lekarstwu dać. Tak jest moim lekarstwem i ciała miłości spragnionego i myśli skołatanych . Życie w złu goszczącym na ludzkich podłych twarzach , wyzysku chciwych . Łokciami się rozpychających i chamskiej , potocznej mowie, plugawej . Mordy zakłamane chełpią się prawdą swoją zmyśloną bez Boga krzty . Stąd ten spacer potrzebny , ugoszczenia w myślach , porządkowania spraw. Moją bronią dać odpór wężom jadowitym ignorancją zupełną , bez walką . Miłość unosi na skrzydłach pozytywne myślenie Jezusem uniesione . Już schodzą ze mnie emocje niegościnne , ciało ożywa zdrojem , motyli dreszczem . Radośnie mnie uczy , Duszę orzeźwia tchnieniem boskim , naprawia . Krok już mam pewny , wyrównany bez strachu by jutro wziąć w garść . Czas Jego po ogrodach pospacerować dłonią muska łany myśli . Zdrowych z kłosami Jemu się kłaniających jak ku słońcu obfitemu . Uśmiech na twarzy zagościł czując Jego obecność w sobie , zdrój . Siłą moją przeżywania chwil ulotnych a jednak prawdziwych . On to sprawia. A jeszcze wczoraj myśli były czarne teraz się rozpierzchły , białe obłoczki . A jutro ksiądz po kolędzie przyjdzie , nie mogę się doczekać , radość .

Glad to chance upon your vlog. Prior to that, i have always wondered why some of the concert pianists were not playing the articulation as specified by Chopin. An example is Yulianna Avdeeva (no offence to her fans 😃. ) Thanks for all your insight.
Hi maestro, the edition I used is where there are slurs on every weak interval beat in the first two bars. I think the urtext edition is not the national polish one and the interpretation will be different with difference in slurring in these two editions. So is it recommended to follow the National Polish edition?
Querido Greg los pianistas de hoy tu sabes que hacen puras TRAMPAS. Anton Rubinstein dijo que «El Pedal es el ALMA del piano» pero estos pianistas lo usan como el gran CONTRABANDISTA del verdadero Arte Pianistico. Y los criticos que No son sutiles como Jan Weber o Piero Rattalino,porque son pagados No Dicen Nada y el publico de hoy es Bruto y les gusta todo HAHAHA Cada vez veo may dificil eso de ser un VERDADERO A R T I S T A DEL PIANO. Saludos desde la destruida Venezuela. puedes responderme en o polaco,dicen que lo hablo bien aunque nunca fui a la Polska.

De nada!
Thank you for your comment ans enthusiasm! And thanks for watching!
Thanks again for your great analysis and playing! Funny when you waved a finger at the frowning Chopin and chided him of writing hard etudes 🤣
Hahahaha 🙂🙂🙂😉 that was spontaneous
It is always a big pleasure to watch the videos! You are the best! 👏👏👏

Thank you so much!
Thank you Mr. Niemczuk for your excellent analysis and lesson. I have subscribed and will see you in your next video !
Thank you!! I've already made almost 150 videos about Chopin's music. You can find it in my playlists. Welcome to the club!!
22:35 it is played in A major instead then the climax is in Gb major instead
I spent several months on this one. I consider it one of the most difficult etudes from either set. And it requires a lot of stamina.
Thank you for another excellent video and for the recommendation of the new Alan Walker biography. I have started reading it and it is very interesting. You are spoiling is with a new video each day.
Hahah, yes. Until January the 24th I must finish all the Etudes!

Niedzielny spacer z Jezusem
Był , przyszedł w mszy świętej wysłuchanej pobożnie .
Teraz czas na spacer pójść , mam Go przed oczyma .
W powadze chwili z kościoła wyniesionej , pójdziemy przed siebie.
Dzień umaimy w zimowy poranek , mrozem kwiaty malowane .
Ha, to niezwykły dar , że gotów Nam życie obdarowywać swoim jestestwem .
Korzystam chętnie bo spacer długi się zapowiada , rześkim powietrzem .
Nauczyciel wystudza emocje w rozedrganym umyśle , wycisza , upiększa .
Gonitwy dnia codziennego daje odpoczynek , czas Jego lekarstwu dać.
Tak jest moim lekarstwem i ciała miłości spragnionego i myśli skołatanych .
Życie w złu goszczącym na ludzkich podłych twarzach , wyzysku chciwych .
Łokciami się rozpychających i chamskiej , potocznej mowie, plugawej .
Mordy zakłamane chełpią się prawdą swoją zmyśloną bez Boga krzty .
Stąd ten spacer potrzebny , ugoszczenia w myślach , porządkowania spraw.
Moją bronią dać odpór wężom jadowitym ignorancją zupełną , bez walką .
Miłość unosi na skrzydłach pozytywne myślenie Jezusem uniesione .
Już schodzą ze mnie emocje niegościnne , ciało ożywa zdrojem , motyli dreszczem .
Radośnie mnie uczy , Duszę orzeźwia tchnieniem boskim , naprawia .

Zdrowych z kłosami Jemu się kłaniających jak ku słońcu obfitemu .

Exactly.... I also cannot understand it. I'd love to ask such pianists why they decided to ignore it...
Why does it sound so similar to Prelude Op. 28 No. 19?
I wonder what recordings you recommend for this piece? And have you heard Frederic Chiu’s playing of this piece?
No I have not. I must find him! But listen to Rafał Blechacz from his competition performance in 2005. Marvellous!
Hi maestro, the edition I used is where there are slurs on every weak interval beat in the first two bars. I think the urtext edition is not the national polish one and the interpretation will be different with difference in slurring in these two editions. So is it recommended to follow the National Polish edition?
I think so! It's a very thorough edition.
OK thanks, maestro. I also find that the Kullak edition is also great for Chopin which is free and available at imslp.
