he actually does that so that the FFF right hand note can hit precisely on the right key, and the distortion is on the 2 keys around that one key so that he doesnt miss the hammer effect on the final note. its actually really smart and even fits with the feeling of the piece

프렐류드의 마지막 속편이자 이 곡이 폭풍우를 맞닥뜨려 다 망가진 작은 구명보트에서 최후를 맞이하는 곡입니다 여태까지 여러 연주자들의 24번을 들었는데 성진이형의 해석은 정말 본인 스스로가 모든걸 포기하고 정말 최후를 맞이하려고 준비하는 감성을 너무 잘 살린거 같습니다 다른 연주자들은 광기있고 어떻게든 그 폭풍우에서도 살아남으려고 애쓰는 멜로디와 감성표현을 하는데 성진이형은 그와 달리 진짜 최후를 맞이하려는 데터민에이션을 너무 잘 살린거 같네요 각각 곡에 걸맞지 않게 긍정인 곡을 부정으로,부정의 곡을 긍정으로도 바꾸는 손가락 감정 마술사가 따로 없습니다 이번 연주도 정말 경이롭네요 잘 듣고 갑니다

The set of 24 Preludes as a whole covers the entire range of human emotions - from joyful and full of hope, to melancholic, to romantic, to utter heartbreak and tragedy, to strength and absolute defiance in the face of imminent death (Prelude #24 is the ultimate example of this in my opinion) in which Chopin seems to tell death that it may soon take his body from this Earth... but it will never take his passion, his heart, his soul or his inner strength. This is him raging against the dying of the light and staring death in the eyes with his head held high. Thank you Chopin, for sharing your most vulnerable heart with us, and thank you to the pianists who put their heart and soul into playing his music for us.
