Strongest fingers?
on: June 27, 2005, 08:44:44 AM
I have listened to a lot of recordings of the Revolutionary Etude by Chopin and I haven´t heard one where the perfomer plays it like I want it. The best performances I have heard are by Pollini and Marian Pivka.

I like it to be played with very heavy lefthand attack that require very strong fingers. In general I think it should be played more aggressive then most people do. I like to hear how strong fingers the perfomer has (propably since I haven´t got strong fingers myself).

What recording would you recomend?
