Bortkiewicz - Etude op 15 No 9 in F# minor [Denis Zhdanov]

[@boriskamenik6763]

Beautiful! I remember when my teacher (she's also from Ukraine) assigned me this etude. I had never heard of Bortkiewicz and it seemed like a lot of superfluous notes at first. But it quickly opened up and became the perfect piece for me at that time. One more benefit of a good teacher: gives you the music you didn't know you need!

[@Leon-xw3nv]

Wow, incredible control! Fantastic Denis!

[@yubinp1791]

This rendition is by far the best one I found. Nothing is muddled and it brings out such clarity and crystalline quality of the piece! Hats off to you Denis!

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

on another level.

[@789armstrong]

If Zhdanov would play this at the Tchaikovsky Competition he would win the Gold medal.

[@AS_Piano]

Gorgeous etude, have never listened to it before! Wonderful. *Edit: I like it so much I have decided to learn it as a mini-project. I will use your course!

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Wonderful! Have fun

Давайте больше Сергея Эдуардовича Борткевича! Это мой любимый композитор! У него есть масса красивейших композиций, но их мало играют :( Недооценённый композитор

[@3r7s]

wow. and is that the first time i see you playing Bortkiewicz? sadly forgotten and underrated.. 🤨 he has so many outstanding pieces..! i really envy that you can sit down learning a Bortkiewicz etude at 10am and play it like this by 3pm (lunchbreak included).. 🙈😅

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

I also played a couple of his pieces in my other YT video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3TTdWRmacR0ebssi=HYjeX7AGtYVpWHrq No matter how much you have or can, there is always someone you could be jealous of! 😏

[@teodorb.p.composer]

Your intepretation is beautifull and sparkling, but i honestly prefer the slower tempo... But I have to admit that your technique and note control are astonishing!

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

You can listen to Katsaris, it’s even faster and much more extravagant, but it’s a great one!

[@micaelabonetti949]

Doesn't sound like an etude under your fingers but a wonderful piece worth of been shared with any audience! 👏 👏 bravo.

[@robbym4515]

1:23 I love this kind of subito color change that leaves a breathless effect. However, I cannot figure out how to coordinate my body and fingers to do this without requiring too much "preparation" time, and by then the effect is totally lost. Kind of niche and advanced, but hope that you could make a video on this one day. I don't think this is something I've ever seen someone talk about in the usual piano tutorials.

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Check out a free course on this piece, link in the description!

[@bluepearl4806]

Hi again dear Denis. I love this oiece very much and you play so beautifuly💐🌷Yes Borchewitch deserves a special attention💐🍀 I wonder if you give asyncronized online course? That is student send teacher a video then teacher send student feedbeck by an other video than student send a resultent video showing applied teacher"s corrections and suggestions and teacher send the final conclusion video. What do you thing about this type of asyncronised video cours Denis?

[@RhodesyYT]

Can you play his first etude in g major la blonde that's such an amazing piece

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Nice one. Tough. Hard for me to play.

[@Tyler-1203]

Nice isn’t enough it’s brilliant

[@fanach]

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

I still invest thousands of euros yearly in my own education, buying courses and working with instructors in areas that I feel need improvement or interest me.
