Thomas Headley thanks that is true. It can be difficult I guess every one is different. Never thought music could lead to destruction as the first two movements of this piece singlehandedly kept me alive in some of my most darkest days.

+Erik Watch Paul Barton, he is the most relaxed pianist I have ever seen, his playing looks pretty much effortless, and it's also very, very good. Personally, I like the energy of Lisistza's playing, but Barton just makes it look so casual/easy.

[@Thvll]

mydogskips2 yeah you’re right, I watched him play Chopin op. 10 no. 4. He makes it look like he doesn’t even need to practice before playing haha

[@mydogskips2]

@@Thvll Interesting piece you mention, the Chopin etude, it's actually the first video of Lisistza's that I ever watched some years ago which started my interest in her. It was stunning to me for many reasons, not the least of which is because I had never actually heard the piece before, but since having listened to many, many others play it, I can say it is one of the very best I have ever heard, probably just behind Pollini's performance.

I experienced several paranormal phenomenon when learning that piece....

[@Maria-ok9xv]

I started learning moonlight sonata back in high school, and finished mov 1, 2, and a little past the first page of the 3rd mov. Then I stopped playing piano altogether for nearly a decade after leaving for university and doing other life things. But I recently got back into piano by some miracle, and was determined to relearn mov 1 and 2 (a surprising amount of muscle memory came back to me), and am on the road to learning the rest of mov 3. I keep coming back to your video for inspiration, pausing and replaying and slowing down to catch how exactly you do it because in my opinion this is the best and my favorite rendition of this piece. The way your fingers just fly and dance across the keys with sometimes tender and sometimes fiery strokes, and insane emotion and dynamics and clarity. Thanks for your years of love and experience and practice in music to bring us your moonlight sonata :) Love from Canada
