Which etudes did you already play? Did you also play this one? Tell me in the comments!
uhmmm I think youtube is drunk idk why but youtube is drunk cause this comment is 4 hrs ago and the video is 2 minutes ago
Oohhh of all Chopin's Etudes, Aeolian Harp is my very first piece which I seriously studied😃 I have played that 🎶 I really need to learn more about this piece🤩 sooo informative!
well I'm not experienced enough for studying a Chopin etude but one day I will and I will remember all of your advices on this one !
Op 10 4-12
I'm into 20th century music such as jazz and the only one thing that keeps me by earlier music are chopin's studies, right now Im working on op. 10 no 1 and 2.
I would love to see this as a serie, with all of the Chopin Études. By the way good luck with your final exams and study! 😊
So would I! Since you’re studying all of them. That was be so awesome and helpful to others who are studying either all of the Études or individual ones. And good luck indeed with your final exams/study!
Yup
Yassssssss please!
Yall know that's what she's doing right?
Me, too!
a guy at my school played this the other day, i was breathless
Though not a pianist myself I grew up with Chopin’s music thanks to my much older brother’s piano. He used to sit the 2-year old I was then up on the top of his upward piano to play pieces of composers from the classical era. Among his favourites were Beethoven and Chopin. As I was growing up I developed a deep attachment to both composers, especially Chopin. His Polonaises in A major Op. 40, No 1 “Military” and in A-Flat major Op. 53, “Heroic” I continued to enjoy all through my life. Later when pregnant I would put Chopin on the record player and listen to the music while attempting to rest. The baby I was carrying then is today a 46 year old man who enjoys Chopin more than any other composers. As for me, at 71 now, Chopin still brings me back the awe of watching my brothers’ fingers make enchanting music just for me.
However I don’t remember having heard him ever play this Etude. Yet the first time I nocticed its delightful notes, I stopped writing (I always write with Chopin’s music in the background). I couldn’t stop listening to it again and again. So imagine my joy when, quite by chance, you appeared in my TH-cam feed with this video of yours explaining all about the history and the challenges of playing Chopin’s Etude Op 25, No 1 “Aeolian Harp”. At the end, you played it so wonderfully I couldn’t help but cry, so moved I was by the music. Indeed, your love of Chopin and this Etude in particular reminded me of the time my beloved brother was enchanting my eyes and my ears with Chopin’s wondrous notes. Thanks to you, for a short while there, I wasn’t old anymore but back to the times in my early childhood when I was watching with delight a passionate pianist playing Chopin’s wondrous music all over again.
Thnxx for a good comment.
That’s a wonderful and beautiful story ❤😊. Chopin certainly has that effect on people.
One minute in, and with the title, I knew I'd like it, so I put a like. However, as it evolved, I was blown away by the excellent explanation of concept and technique, but I couldn't add any more likes and there is no such thing as a like multiplier. When you finally started playing the piece, it was really easy to analyse the technique. And as always, you play so beautifully. So here are some spare likes 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I still think Chopin could beat Bruce Lee in a street fight. He sure could move those hands
I just put one like in for you. I could never play these etudes I been struggling with the ocean etude. Which is easier than most of the other etudes. I will stick with the preludes. Much more my level.
Wonderful playing of this etude. Bravo.
Some people wish they could go back and live their life over so they could right some wrong, catch some opportunity, or generally make the right choices. I would go back so I could learn to play like this. Starting piano at 53. It's going to be a long road. I hope. Your playing is inspirational.
you can do it man. practice practice and don't forget to practice. you can be a great pianist for a big chunk of your life yet.
@@johnpiettro4644 I merely meant I regret not knowing at a younger age, when I had the opportunity, that I would want to play piano so badly now. I was a professional musician for many years. My main instrument was a 6-string fretless bass, so I know my way around a clef or two. I've got musical theory covered. I just simply never felt the bite to play piano until recently (HoTK is one of the reasons, Rousseau being the other). I think my biggest challenge is that I'm used to a guitar, where the fingers generally move up in pitch as you go from index to pinky, piano does the opposite. And you can play scales all in the same position. So "rolls" and such are going to be fun. Don't count me out on the more complex pieces. Marc Hamelin's got nothing to worry about, but I'm working on some slightly more accessible pieces like Dubussy's Arabesque first. I practice scales and fingering exercises, but intellectually I'd lose my mind if I had to do the "hot crossed buns" thing at my experience level.
that was really interesting, I didn't know there was all this techinque behind this etude. Nice playing and good luck for your final exams !

We follow Annique, Annique follows technique, technique follows music...
Lovely dynamics. Nice to hear feeling and not just technique.
Dynamics is technique
Learning this piece now. Makes me cry after practicing because of how beautiful it is.
Just finishing this one. As I always do while learning a piece I listen to many different renditions to find the voicing I like. I must say yours is right up there among my favourites. Thank you once again for helping and inspiring mere mortals such as me :)
For once I got to see an excellent demonstration of technique in one of Chopin's most difficult and most beautiful piece "Aeolian Harp." Not only did I see some extraordinary playing but wonderful musicality in the artist's interpretation. Excellent. I would like to see more of this artist. I am looking forward to the next video.
This is like low to mid-range Chopin difficulty
"One of chopins most difficult pieces"
After more than 20 years, I've started playing this piece again so I loved your input. Thank you. It's my favourite etude.
I’m no pianist, i can’t even read music, but love Chopin, and found your video very interesting.
Just listened to it again - wonderful and clear sound, incredible
Please make this a regular type of video. As a student it was both inspiring and educational. I’m going to approach my next piece the same way
Amazing technique and explanations Annique! More of Chopin's etudes please🙏🏼
Wonderful analysis and your playing is warm and expressive. Thank you!
I'm so glad you said, "many many years..." I've been working on some of these etudes for decades and they're still not the way I'd like to hear them. I was beginning to think that I was of diminished potentiality & mentally challenged. The "Aeolian" is one of my favorite pieces and can spend all day playing it, along with Troisieme Ballade. I had no idea there was a very simple technique behind it to make it sound so sublime & ineffable. Thank you for sharing!
You play the piano beautifully, such a lovely touch, Chopin would be proud! Don't stop!
My absolute favorite piano piece. Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for very good visual explanation of technique!
My favourite, favourite Chopin Etude...beautifully used in the movie Turning Point for a ballet solo. I grew up in the African rural outback, with my piano being my sole friend, entertainment & passion. No internet those days, so getting sheet music was a battle, yet somehow I always got my hands on what I wanted to play, no matter how long it took. Having your classes on TH-cam available would have made such a difference, especiallt with this piece!
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post this.
Enjoyable and insightful and a pleasure to watch your playing.
Amazing & awesome. Thanks so much for revealing the mechanics of this heart-rending piece.
Thank you so much am really impressed by both how you bring out those essential details and your interpretation!
That is so beautiful. I'm going to start to work on this piece. Thank you so much for posting your analysis.
I've heard many interpretations of this piece. You're the first that made me tear up. It is so beautiful. Thank you.
Wow this is amazing 🤩 thanks for explaining this technique.. I will definitely incorporate it into my practice!
Much more than a technical explanation ... You are great! The best interpretation I have ever heard of this piece. Thank you for your music!
Wowwww! I’m impressed. Almost cried. Congratulations. You rock! Thank you.
The video was very interesting and the final performance wonderful. Thank you for sharing!
I have just recently discovered your series and am blown away and energized by your gorgeous talent and detailed explanations. Thank you for inspiring me!❤
Superb video Annique. Loved every minute.
Very informative and wonderfully played!
You're amazing! Very informative and your techniques are superb
Excellent teaching! Brilliant playing.

My eyes glaze over when I see sheet music like this. You explained this etude beautifully, and likewise played it beautifully. Thank you.
Great! Beautiful project!
Wonderful!!! Thank you so much!! Great teaching and playing!!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful playing and teaching!
Beautiful!!
Thank you for the excelent lesson!!!
THAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU !
For the past few days since I watched this video, I've made a lot of progress on this piece and for the first time in a loooooong time I'm like : " Oh shit maybe I can actually play not terribly ". I'm having fun and it Feels good, Thank you ! :)
Very nice playing, so beautiful!
Great video and beautiful playing. Thanks for sharing the technique in the arms and wrists....easy to forget under pressure.
i ve just discovered you today. im in complete awe cause your such a delicate, refined sensitivity. your touching and phrasing. your calm tempos. so rare to find
i cannot tell you how much this helped me. not just with this piece, but with everything
Wow! You are amazing! Thanks for sharing this great of a content!
This might be one of my favorite videos that you've made. I don't even play piano and found the way you broke down the score with the rivers and nice big circles very satisfying. The technique breakdown was also great. My fav part though was listening at the end 😃
I really love this piece and your interpretation. Congrats !
Really glad to have found this channel. I'm into Op 10 at the moment - but looking forward to Op 25 maybe next year!! Thanks so much for your input.
Thank you! Very insightful.
Thank you very much for this video!
I’m currently studying this etude and this
is very helpful. Also, beautiful playing ❤️
That's a great video! It's a video that you can learn a lot from the standpoint of learning the piano!! I appreciate it!
Omg this channel is pure gold. You get the insights of a master given just like that. Whereas it would take years to just think about some of this stuff such as the importance of elbow moving
this video was such a help to learning this beautiful etude 🥰 thank you so much!
Not only you are an amazing pianist, but you are also amazing at explaining things. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. Best of luck with your studies!
I’m not a professional pianist at all. In fact, I just started playing piano some months ago. However, watching your videos inspires me to be (one day) as good as you are no matter how long it takes. I really appreciate every single piece of your content and all the effort behind it. All I have to say is thanks and congratulations for being that good and inspiring! :)
So helpful, thank you !
This is so great!! I can't wait for the others!! :)
Excellent explanation, wrist and elbow for dynamics, and the melody voice is so clear, just great, love it!
Beautiful playing of this piece
I am playing this right now on my own. I am so happy you made this video!!!! This piece is seriously one of my favorites
Wonderful playing with fascinating techniques :)
Fabulous!many thanks!!!
Looking forward on your Etude covers! Patiently waiting for Op 25 no 5 💖
Wie immer toll gemacht 👍👏👏👏❤️
Thank you so much for giving me the strength to learn all of my favorite pianist F. Chopin.
So beautiful!
Beautiful!!! Excellent etude education.
Your just wonderful. Thank you for your channel 💖
This was a fantastic presentation, and you play very well!! 👏
I haven't played all of them yet but you've inspired me. I played the complete Scriabin Etudes op.8 for my final DMA recital at Manhattan School of Music.
Fantastic video! I will never play like this, but still very inspiring!
You play so beautifully. Thank you.
Toujours un plaisir de vous voir jouer du piano
I like it, like it, like it this type of analysis of pieces! Please do it a series🙏🙏🙏
