Thanks so much for including me in your video! 👋
No probs, you're a great pianist
Bro, how much practice did you have. like 14 years per day????!!?!?!???
@@kruidjehetparkietjeActually, from the time I started working on this to the time I actually made this recording, I worked on this for a little over a year (most precisely fifteen months), if you consider a day's work being four hours of practicing this. But don't forget that it took that long, to a great extent, dut to having to have had my piano re-voiced, the action re-regulated and maintained, the hammers hardened and the hammer shank rollers replaced. All this while running on an extremely low budget. So it makes sense to discount a few months to allow for all these changes. If I had had a much bigger budget, I would've finshed a lot sooner.
@@extremepianochannel 14 years 4 hours… I was pretty close right (but no joke, insane performance )
@@kruidjehetparkietje Much appreciated!
you know shits gonna go crazy when le preux is only a level 6
what was so insane with lvl 10 is the keys he had hit previously hadnt even recovered fully before he returned to them he was
moving so fast
Wait until you see my Yamaha ju109 😂
It's because of the bad piano key mechanisms.
Chopins octave etude could have been here
in what level do you think?
@@davikersulks95252 lol
@@Sergei_Rachmanninof i agree actually, a bit harder than 2 and easier than 3 imo
Thanks for including me in your video! Although I disagree with the placement of Le Preux, the Tchaikovsky should be switched with it. It is easier to play the Tchaikovsky super fast than it is to play Le Preux even slowly. Great work though.
yes wait until you sight read it up 💀
Dreyschock was the first one to play Chopin's revolutionary etude in octaves, and at the correct tempo. It's said he incorporated this octave version in every performance he gave. According to Kullak (a famous music teacher who taught royalty), he said that Dreyschock's technique was even finer than that of Liszt's. There's an account of an interaction where Dreyschock showed Liszt this octave version and Liszt responded with playing Chopin's op25 no2 in octaves (at correct tempo). Not sure what is more impressive, but would've been amazing to see! I don't think any pianist today could do this, and if they could, probably not at the correct tempo.
Lol I have read about all these accounts and they never fail to make me smile!
That Mereaux is brutal 😂
fr, my hand would fall off about 30 seconds in
What i love is just how Martha continues being a virtuous pianist. Its beyond me
@@beastasfiist I think I'll learn it just for the bants
This is an amazing comparision!
Also I love that you used caleb hu's recording of le preux! also damn I remember watching that revolutionary etude arrangement a few months ago and I was astonished
Yeah, he had the cleanest sound and nice sounding piano in my opinion.
Cziffra's Flight of the Bumblebee remix sounds more like a swarm of bees tho.
Swarm of angry bees*
Absolutely bonkers. When I saw "octaves in the title" I immediately thought of hungarian rhapsody no 6 and i thought it would be like the last one but OHH BOIII I WAS WRONG 😂😂😂
Lmao not even 5th place
Man i remember when i was like this.. thinking these big monumental pieces were hard, until i got deeper in the hole and traversed the glacier more
@@TheRealChopin I wonder how much deeper this all goes
@@TheRealChopin It's like the duning kruger effect where someone doesn't know what they don't know
@@BambooNtertainmentIsEpic exactly
man i desagree so bad with the tchaikvosky, le preux octaves are much harder tbh, because le preux octaves jump so much more, and even if the tchaikovsky ones are faster, you dont have to be super precise in jumping
I personally find the Tchaikovsky octaves harder, since it's almost double the speed and for longer
@@JudeGabriel-vk4sv i mean, i can play the tchaikovsky octaves, but the le preux when i tried, impossible, the beggining of le preux octave is easy ofc, but when we get to like the middle to the end, just too hard
the reason being the jump distance, when you play octaves near each other is very easy tbh, but when it is over 1 octave jump IN OCTAVES, i mean tchaikovsky has some but le preux have way more and are way harder, and tchaikovsky ones lead you to possibilities to use rubato like 99% of the pianist who do it
@@davikersulks9525it's almost like different pianists have different strengths and weaknesses 🤔
@@brent3522 i dont know, for me and everyone i've ever met until now octaves repetition were easy and acuracy on jumps in octaves were hard, but you're right everyone has its own dificulties
The octaves in Le Preux are harder than those in Tchaikovsky and those in the Cziffra transcription for sure.
Then someone will casually say “is just having the right technique” like BRUH.
It kinda is
yea just play well 4head
Dat Mereaux's reminds me of Schumann's Toccata, but with LH octave barrages 💀💀💀
Although Le Preux should go 7th or 8th place I think, thank you for making this list. agree overall
i think le preux should be above evil bumblebee and tchaikovsky
fr
Your videos are great more of these please
Thanks so much! What makes them so great though, I have many videos in this style on yt.
4:59 ARE YOU SERIOUS
actually i heard thats dreyschocks idea of playing "revolutionary' lh in octaves
I love the Alkan etude op. 35, it’s such a pretty and fun piece…to listen to, at least 😂 I’ve tried playing the Tchaikovsky octaves, and the only really hard part (in that specific octave passage, there’s also a few in the first movement) is the jumps at the end. Which is why a lot of people either slow down at the end or play the end messily. But Argerich plays it perfectly 😮🤩
Godowsky's study on chopin's op 25 no 2 should've been here
was lvl 10 even possible? Amazing.
I'm 11 and my dream piece is the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 lol (and you know its bad when the entire left hand is octaves for 50 measures straight)
Good for you! Shoot for the stars.
10 levels is repeated notes?
pls?
I sub
Should have put Schubert Wanderer fantasie
yea course preux octaves are make me sweating
1:15 should also be in ur "10 levels of left hand jumps" vid
It is! Just not this exact recording.
Great video once again, I've heard of all of these, me personally I loved the Tchaikovsky octaves, even if I'm quite a huge fan of Alkan lol. Le Preux is just a bit overrated imo
I knew there was something wrong with you if you already had the rondo as level 1
I suggest adding something by prokofiev in your next "10 LEVELS" video, if there's going to be one
Pov: you saw le preux on level 6 💀
Hungarian rhapsody no 6 in level 4💀
I’m exhausted
when i saw the last level is chopin etude i said are you seriouse u said yes XD
Alkan's 35-12 is actually not that hard, immensely easier than HR6. The other day I managed to sightread through it pretty well lol
I'm surprised Schubert D. 760 and/or 784 didn't make the cut...
What the hell was wrong with mereaux. What could we as pianists possibly have done to him.
Glissando octave should be somewhere in this ranking 🙈
Bè a voi piace lo studio di chopin così?
Yes
NICE
1:21 I actually have seen this recording before
It's my favourite recording of this piece. Although Argerich and Grynyuk have stunning speed, I feel like they kinda make it sound mushy towards the end.
No surprise there lol
Mereaux was kind of a sick F, huh?
Where does Schubert Der Erlkonig fit here?
I guess around HR 6, maybe higher??? You have to do it for a longer amount of time
The octaves aren't the issue there, it's the repetition.
@@GSHAPIROYrepetition is part of the octaves difficulty
Sees Hr6 in 4/10, *visible confusion*😂
I dont get the explaination of why Tchaikovskys PC being level 8...
there isnt one tbh lol
Everything from le preux and on doesnt look real lol
Spero mi rispondiate nel modo giusto..
Let’s be real revolutionary etude in right doesn’t sound good at all
Wait no 10/16!!!
Me figuring out the time signature at 1:55
La campanella by Liszt:
hungarian rhapsody 6 wins because liszt
6 is easy for me though. 2nd rhapsody is way harder overall, but for the octaves it might be a bit easier.
not a good list at all... try Scarlatti Sonata K 44 , Grieg/Ginzburg in the hall of the mountain king. Volodos Alla Turca...Least you got alkan, that's nice...but still...cziffra sabre dance...
