Only a few nicknames of the Etudes are widely used, such as Op.10 No.12, which is nicknamed "Revolutionary."

Torrent? Can you please give me the definition of this word? :D

[@antonioparise3554]

Torrent is an italian word. It means " little river"

[@katjoo8998]

Imagine what went inside of Chopin's head while creating all of these masterpieces... It really makes me wonder what kind of person he was... and he died so young :( ♡

[@kelvinrojas5547]

Some of the hardest pieces of the standard concert piano repertoire played beautifully!

[@blindinglight7839]

4:27 - 4:42 the most beautiful thing I've ever heard !

[@benbroverman5150]

This is absolutely incredible. Playing one of these etudes anywhere near as well as Pollini plays all 12 here, is an absolute achievement for most. Here I am just finally being able to play through no 4 from this set after almost a year of learning it haha

[@noahmaillouxmusic]

no 4 is probably my favorite from opus 10. I hope to learn it one day

[@nmaurok]

Same here

[@purplemaniac3527]

No.4 and No.12 are my personal favourites. Now I feel pumped to tackle my science assignment!

[@cristiantorres2473]

Magnifique!

[@machiwoomiapoo]

I've listened to this recording ever since I was a kid and I didn't get any other versions until I was an adult. It's so ingrained into my brain that it's actually difficult to hear other version without wanting to go back to this version. I simply cannot get enough of Pollini's Etudes. He's my favorite for Chopin's Etudes. I remember working hours on the Revolutionary etude. It's so much fun to play and even nicer when your fingers finally remember where to go without you thinking about it. I recommend every piano player give these a try. They are a great exercise and you'll turn heads with Chopin's amazing music. Enjoy!

Your Lie in April made me come here. Beautiful music melting my stress away is keeping me here.

[@aravindgundakaram1830]

The Waterfall etude Op.10 no.1 is according to me the most difficult etude of the Chopin and Liszt etudes ... Lot of endurance required, with your right hand giving out..

[@neozhangp]

Op 10 no 2 is very challenging too, it requires an insane level of finger independence.

[@wilfredoimbuscuervo7198]

¡ Asombroso !

[@iamsoulsister]

I like Etudes No. 1,2,4,8, and 10.

[@ne4098]

I also like Etude Op.10 No.7

[@cedricrlongreen]

wow excellently played

[@NoahJohnson1810]

21:35 one of the best parts in op 10

[@fijant]

I think I can play No. 1 as good as Pollini, well the left hand maybe.

[@williamshakespeare1775]

Of course. Any 5-year old child can do as well as Pollini.
