I always thought that your intro was etude 6 var 2 last two bars but was not sure. Now after listening to your performance video of that etude for like more than the 100th time, closely comparing it with this video's intro, I'm now sure that I'm right. I knew you said that it's one of your favourite pieces, but didn't know it was _this_ favourite. Or maybe there's a different reason. The reason I'm saying this is because it's one of my favourites as well and you're one of my favourite pianist. Like, It's something that we have in common. I hope that makes some sense. Haha.

It’s the last part of variation 1

@@joshwrightpiano dang it! You're right. I always consider "theme" as var. 1 for some reason.

I wish one day I can be your student!

Umm, i always just played the very beginning with my right hand only. I feel bad now😅😂

[@joshwrightpiano]

Some pianists play it with 1 hand. When the left hand comes in with the broken chords, you’re going to be playing it all in the right hand anyway, so just do whatever is most comfortable for you

@@joshwrightpiano Thanks alot for the reply. I thought I was really missing the plot of the piece.

Arthur Rubinstein "cheated" for over 30years with one of his pieces and had to relearn it because of a camera angle. Don't let the snobishness kill your music, he said it was the nost boring practice in his whole career
