Michael I would suggest experimenting with more rubato around the changes in dynamic. As an execution of the skill Chopin wrote the etude to improve, the performance was excellent, but I think there is more art you could bring out.

very nice performance. i usually dislike really fast versions of this piece, but you brought out the melody without sounding like you "had to", if that makes any sense. only criticism i would have is that a couple arpeggios in the first half were uneven, perhaps heavy on the thumb. but you really nailed it, amazing performance.
@michaeltaomusic5 ай бұрын
Thank you for your kind words, and I really appreciate the constructive criticism. Yes, I agree, finger evenness in this piece is quite difficult and is something I’m working on. I’d love to hear your thoughts about my performance of Chopin’s 2nd Piano Concerto before I played this encore :) It is the previous video on my channel.

The closest composer to Chopin in the 20th century would be Scriabin
@podpivasniki3225 ай бұрын
Nah man. Their style is completely different. Scriabin's (at least early-mid) is based on complex harmonies with lots of sounds and insane climaxes. Chopin is quite an opposite - infinity brilliant melodies and soul breaking drama in his codas. If we're talking closest to Chopin it's definitely Moskowski (1854-1925).
@KingstonCzajkowski5 ай бұрын
@@podpivasniki322 Disagree. Scriabin's use of structure and form greatly resembles Chopin's and Chopin paved the way for harmony based on motivic cells and pitch classes, which Scriabin ran with. There are brilliant melodies in Scriabin and complex harmonies in Chopin, although he doesn't use quite as many extensions as Scriabin (probably picked up from impressionist composers).

He plays it robustly which gives it another sound completely. Whether that sound is good or not is subjective in my opinion.
