Thank you! I'm afraid there's a slight error here: No. 8 starts at 09:03, No. 9 at 09:57 and No. 10 at 10:30. Then every prelude gets a time code. :-)

@@sergeypiano Oh, thank you!

[@baylabiskin4096]

Thanks again

[@Post4JM]

These have become my favorite preludes:) Listening everyday now. Fascinating! Always love Shostakovich! A true genius!

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you! Indeed, young Shostakovich is a striking talent in his own right and I often wonder what could have come of him if he hadn't got into the cogwheels of totalitarian machine.

Such a beautiful performance - the ranges from lively and playful, to quiet contemplation, are exquisite!

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you very much!

[@emilnietlispach5995]

Hard work to get all the many motives in the brain? Very interesting pieces and good interpretation. Thank you!

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you! In general, this is not excessively difficult to memorise. The notable exception is the E minor prelude: very, very hard.

[@Rx-mn5fv]

What a wonderful kaleidoscope of musical experiences played with such genius! Bravo! Bravo!

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you very much!

I love #5 so much. What a strange piece Great performance :)

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you! Indeed, these are very fantasy-filled pieces.

[@raymondfallon7429]

Geez, who gave this thumbs down, Joe McCarthy? J Edgar Hoover? This is both fantastic and innovative composition and exquisite playing... Can't be a Russian Troll Bot...

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you! :-)

[@raymondfallon7429]

@@sergeypiano I think it's important to get Shostakovich's music, especially the less well known pieces out to the public (non symphonies for instance) as his music took a beating here in the US during the cold war. His music was labeled unemotional, cold, etc. which your performance clearly proves inaccurate. I will continue to follow your KZbin videos. Thanks so much for the note.

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you very much!

[@thomaswenas-bobbiefet5805]

very nice! Working on no. 6. what a fun piece :D

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you! Indeed, it's a very fantasy-rich music. To me, though, No. 6 is rather full of acrid humour and sarcasm akin to engravings by Jacques Callot.

[@thomaswenas-bobbiefet5805]

@@sergeypiano hi, where did you find the information about J. Callot? Or is that your own interpretation?

[@sergeypiano]

@@thomaswenas-bobbiefet5805 It's my own. :-)

[@geminian7846]

Thanks so much for putting this collection up. I have really only recently started to take serious note of Shostakovich - what a fantastic composer he is! Now, please can we have Op. 87 as well? (As long as it doesn't upset the ghost of Tatiana!) :-)

[@sergeypiano]

geminian7846 Thank you! Indeed, he was a unique figure.

[@sergeypiano]

geminian7846 At least for now, I don't really plan playing op. 87, it requires quite a bit of accustoming oneself to the music.

[@fermion91]

Отлично!!

[@sergeypiano]

Спасибо! :-)

[@beeble2003]

I liked the parts where he pressed the keys on the piano. 😁

[@sergeypiano]

Thank you! Now I'm working on the rests in between! :-)

0:03 etude#1 1:17 etude #2 2:02 etude #3 I quit here cause I noticed someone else did all this work. :( Oh well. It's the thought that counts, right?

[@sergeypiano]

You are quite right! :-) As someone who has done this work in the video description, I can only agree. ;-)
