Shijun Wang Plays Chopin Etudes Op. 10

Live Performance in Shenyang Conservatory of Music, 2016

[@yahyamhirsi]

This is one of the most convincing performances of the set that I've ever watched/listened to in my life. If I could play the whole set right right now, I would do it exactly like you. Your natural rubato and your impressive precision and control of the dynamics make me want to go to my piano and practice. This video deserves millions of views! I literally enjoyed every bit of it. Bravissimo!!! (sorry for my over excitement)

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Hi, Yahya, your kind words mean so much for me. Greatly appreciated! And yes, the channel is growing ( a bit slow, but growing) I just hope that I can share my knowledge/ experience with more pianists.

[@gianfrancobriones]

I thought I was watching an International Chopin Competition video... great playing

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you !

[@NWS189]

We need to see more performances of professor wang.

[@johnmiller599]

You have to have insane stamina to be able to 12 chopin etudes and still finish strong with the revoultionary. This is absolutly mind blowing

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

This experience taught to how to relax! I think that’s more important than stamina. And of course I was both physically and mentally tired after this first half of the concert.

[@johnmiller599]

@@ShijunWangPianoChannel I was just recently working on a Chopin prelude with very quick and relentless arpeggios and I found the same thing. When my hand was tense my entire arm became sore after a few lines, but when I allowed my hand to relax I could play without soreness and quicker! Piano is full of so many details to master to play beautifully!!

I recently discovered your Chanel due to the op 10&25 Etudes. The more I’ve been watching, the more I‘m Impressed!!! Keep going, Greetings from Germany! J.M

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you Jan. It’s a pleasure to meet so many musicians here! Stay safe! And happy new year to you

[@Daniel_1223]

The number 3 is really something special, it stands out for me even among all the other beautifully performed etudes, thank you!

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you sir!

Send chills down my spine

[@keweilu8514]

Impressive! Some of the pieces are played in a faster pace than those in your tutorial like #5, #10. Love your video and the way you play. Very clear and precise in a live setting, especially #1, #4, #7, #10 and #12. People who wants to learn these etudes should definitely see these videos.

[@ArtSoundThoughtProductions]

Wow.... I just came from a scale video to watch this. Thank you again!! I struggle to keep with my ichinin. . Daily practice is the phrase that stuck with me. If I ever want to play something as amazing as this, then I must get on a routine of progressing my skill faster than I let the sands fall to the bottom of the hourglass.

[@vickylin5126]

辛苦了！ Amazing performance! Wish i can play like that 35 years ago when i was learning this!

[@leizhu4556]

王老师，太棒了👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉感情的流露特别自然和真诚

[@thecozytrader00]

Awesome interpretation, i feel ur pain having to play the hardest chopin etude right next to the insane no.1 , loved it.

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you! No, 1 and no 2 back to back is indeed insanely difficult!

[@TylerHumphrey05]

Awesome performance!

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you Tyler! Merry Christmas to you.

[@djgerard82]

Many thanks for sharing your wonderful performance. I've thoroughly enjoyed your etude tutorials and have renewed optimism that I might just about be able to play one of them (in a fashion) after an abundance of practice!

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

The purpose of me spending some much time to make these videos( not counting the practice time) is to tell people, these can be handled with the correct knowledge of how our hands, wrists, arms work.

[@culturehorse]

Great command performance x12! :D

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you so much!

@@ShijunWangPianoChannel Also a fan of your ongoing Chop Etud webinars. Very helpful insights and fine performances. Please keep it up. Best wishes, SW, from nyc.

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you thank you! This means a lot to me. And yes, I will definitely keep on going. And maybe more videos on piano pieces, composers, performer as well as the music career in general.

[@reynardmoses]

i heard many recordings of etudes op 10, this one has the best interpretation for me, i like your 10 no 1, 4, 5, 7 , so special ! the rest are also good to hear. keep up the good work and the tutorial too !

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Thank you Thank you! No. 5 and no. 7 are my personal favorite! Your positive feedback mean SO MUCH to me.

王老师 太厉害了 好想去美国跟你学习钢琴。

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

来考试试试啊。 你是大学生？

[@HRWU]

沈阳这场音乐会观众的水平难得的高啊，作品间知道不鼓掌 (lol)。刚刚了解到王博士的学历背景，很厉害，这些曲目的演奏真是驾轻就熟，听上去水银泻地。只是贵频道有些视频的标题和说明其实可以再做得细致些，这样点击量应该会增加很多！祝好。

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

谢谢！沈阳的音乐会是在沈阳音乐学院的音乐厅啊，都是专业的学生和老师。 请问标题怎么样在细致些？

[@HRWU]

@@ShijunWangPianoChannel 可以想象得出。经历过一些演奏者很厉害，听众很不专业的音乐会，国内国外的观众都有乱鼓掌的现象...您的大多数标题都好 （其实可以强化一下自己的名字嘛，没必要谦虚），更多的我感觉是注释的部分可以再简明一些，有的东西（比如您的个人简介，媒体报道）贴个人网站或原文链接会更方便阅读，看上去也很客观 :) 当然我猜想您在这里主要的目的也是分享心得，并不一定是要当KZbin达人。不过如果您有兴趣的话可以参考: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGS8qpiMZsySZqM 此人的视频多年来逐渐改进麦克风的摆放，音响效果就比较好，他大多数tutorial也有俯视键盘视角。 或者这位: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laaamWVoiKaer8U 可以根据内容添加分段功能 :) 吹毛求疵啦，祝您的频道越办越好

[@PieInTheSky9]

Excellent! Do you ever experience memory slips?

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Of course! Especially new pieces and unfortunately all pieces were once new.

He is so much better..more genuine in his expression..than Lang Lang. I cant stand his unnecessary facial expression when he plays,,its a form of subtle marketing , selling himself as good..

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Man, I get what you mean. But Lang Lang is such a super man who can play anything! In that regard, he is one of the top musicians of the world.

[@SZ-wb1qb]

But Lang Lang is good, musically, if you close your eyes. Should we not judge a musician solely by the sound of their music?

[@damien9060]

@@ShijunWangPianoChannel Actually many other pianists, piano tuners and technicians..even those from Europe dont really think much of him. Its all about extra thrills and marketing. I am just an average pianist , but I know who's got substance. Some of the famous pianists cant interpret a piece properly. To do this you need to feel the piece..the emotions of the composer...the history etc.. But sir, you are doing a great job..I am following your tutorials. Lol.
