C. V. Alkan - 12 Etudes in All the Minor Keys, 'Comme le Vent' [Op. 39 No. 1] (Maltempo)

Performed by Vincenzo Maltempo
Comme le vent (Like the wind) is the first of the Études in the minor keys, Op. 39 for solo piano by the French composer Charles-Valentin Alkan. It is in A minor. The tempo marking is prestissimamente (eighth note = 160), and the unusual 2
16 time signature further encourages a fast performance. The piece is mostly quiet, but is interrupted by short loud outbursts.
The piece is technically demanding, requiring digital velocity and dexterity, as well as stamina: lasting on average four and a half minutes, its 23 pages contains long passages of perpetual triplet-32nd notes (triplet demisemiquavers) for the right hand.

@@ClassikalBoi you’re welcome! btw whose seemusic account did you use? i’m so sorry that i can’t renew your account, seemusic is really expensive now :(

[@ClassikalBoi]

​@@pianissimo_ytdon't worry! This was rendered with yours when It was active, when you said you couldn't renew It anymore i decided to make a big last project, and i finished the midis around 1st september. I rendered all the midis but i had a Lot of problems with my editor (Sony Vegas) so that's why It took a while for me to start posting these videos. I was planning to make the entire Etudes in a single video but my Pc was not able to render It lol.

@@ClassikalBoi what about your future videos :(

[@ClassikalBoi]

​​​@@pianissimo_ytmight start posting more performances of mine, i'm expanding my repertoire a Lot these days, so i guess i can make a good amount of videos playing, improvising and of my own compositions. I will definately come back with the visualisers in the Future, but now i will focus on my own playing and evolution as a composer.

ayo wtf bro is so good tho (he hosted the Alkan competition. I'm so sad LaDivina didn't win - big sad :( bruhhhhhh)

[@AS_Piano]

As a former fan of LDF, he didn’t deserve to win. He only focuses on speed and speed only. And his discord is a toxic nightmare.

@@AS_Piano I got 40 pings in a day 💀. IDK what they r doing, other than rambling about sophisticated-sounding pseudo-intellectual shit about piano, where they proudly assert the dominance the russian school (like if they know everything)
