VK lesson #3, Piano shredding HD part 1 of 3

[@mcmartin1992]

Man!! do you know who is this guy????? Vitalij is the living legend of the piano in the classical worlds and if not the best... one of best keyboards player in the metal scene.... In my modest opinion as good as Evgeny Kissin or Berezovsky in classical side or Jordan Rudess in the other way... GRANDE VITALIJ!!!

[@mdkvisions]

This is so intimidating and Cool it must take years of your life to be this good...

[@forbidinjustice]

Holy saviour mine, Vitalij!

[@Juancarctica]

Very Good Vitalij, thanks a lot

[@julneojazz]

Vitalij master of masters!!!

[@LogicalPhallusy]

@mavritivsx I was trying to figure out the same thing earlier, and I did a few searches. It looks like most commonly I found (for example): C4 E4 G4 C5 E5 G5 C6 G5 E5 C5 G4 E4 C4 with fingering 1 2 3 1 2 3 5 3 2 1 3 2 1, where 1, 2, 3 are thumb, index, middle fingers respectively. You can also find some stuff by searching for how to play arpeggios.

[@matiastomic6570]

It made me want to cry to see the technique of vitalij and compare it with mine

[@arpegiosamistikus]

I would like to hear Vitalij's performance of "Montagues and capulets"(Sergei Prokofiev).Is he play that in any VK solo album?

[@ginohernandez3770]

[@Mathell01]

[@KlangbaumHerz]

4:45 - 5:14 sounds like banjo kazooie on piano

[@michaelshields7777]

It's kitty, kitty! Lol

[@manuelergcruz]

So that's why Jordan Rudess' elbow is dropped most of the time when he's shredding..nice tip for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome I guess..@ 7:13 - 8:16

[@krisevan1]

that damn etude of chopin is difficutl lol

[@ISAACHALLEY3000]

4:53 AWESOME

[@donster26]

His fingers are flying lol

[@octaviogonzalez8322]

I love the way he plays but he is not humble at all

[@sevencircles1638]

Agree, but Kissin is hardly as good as he used to be.

[@musicioso]

Please dont compare him to Kissin for there is more, much more, in classical music than playing fast and loud.....Kuprij is sure very good in what he does, but in classical piano Kissin is absolutely better.

[@istorijskecinjenice6719]

You have no idea how good a pianist Vitaly is. Aaron Rosand, one of the best violinists of the 20th century, had this to say about Vitaly: "Vitalij Kuprij is one of the outstanding pianists of his generation. His charismatic style, technique, and personality are reminiscent of piano legends of a bygone era. I have not heard Chopin played this well since Rubenstein.”
