You are very talented, i played those Etudes when i was 16 and i was arrested for noise polution. Where are you learning the piano.

 
you are 16? 
you have an incredible technique!

Hi! I'm an italian piano student, I'm 16 years old and I'm new here! 
My English is quite horrible, so excuse me! 
I would like to post some recordings by me! There are three studies op.10 by Chopin and the Impromptu op.90 n.2 in e flat by Schubert!
I hope you like it (the quality is quite low, I'm sorry!) 

How did you make these recordings?

Gary

You're playing a digital piano, yes? If so, it's an intriguing digital recording.

For my tecnique i used Cortot's "Principi razionali della tecnica pianistica". It's a very useful book, but you need a good teacher who shows you how to use it!

I agree!!! cortots exercises are IMO the best which exist!!! And you really need a teacher who shows you how to do them. I have one  .

Ah hesitate to comment.

Congratulations Marco,  you are a very talented young man.  Your playing of these Etudes is technically superior and more musical than that of some famous pianists.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! I don't believe I am reading this...

What?

I get it F#, you think they're MIDI files; it's not clean enough for that, there's something human going on.

Marco, you should post something on an acoustic piano; they sound better and we would like to hear what you sound like on a real piano.

I think they're real, I could be wrong but....

If i had an acoustic piano I would record them with him. 
Do you really think that if i had an acoutic piano i would have recorded those pieces on a digital? 

if you are lying then yes.

Why i must play the 12 as the 4?
I wanted to interpretate the 12 in that way, and the 4 in that other way. Stop. I felt the 4 more technical than 12.
Why do you want to say that i'm lying? 

he is talented
u all jelous of him
me too
blah.

Giving critique makes one jealous? Don't make me die laughing. Besides I'm never jealous at one's playing (wierd huh, some ppl can only enjoy, admire and respect playing that is superior to their own's).
Let alone I'd be jealous at playing which is similar to how a fax machine works. No offence buddy.

Good job on everything.  You are obviously talented, but the 10/4 is not convincing me of it's authenticity.  As an owner of a digital piano, I'm sorry to say you didn't fool me.   Take for instance, in 0:16 there is an obvious tempo difference between sections where you probably tried some rubato at a slower tempo and tried to catch a metronome or something.  I believe this 10/4 is a slow recording that has been sped up.  Am I right?

How many of these recordings are actually real -- and recorded at the tempo shown here?

I don't know if they are a fake or not... but I find all of them are good.
Congratulations on recording them.They are really impressive

Everyone, have a listen to this.

http://www.pianocompetition.com/index2.php/competition2002/winners/detail/10

an actual recording of a prize winner playing this exact same piece.

this is an excellent performance and an even better point for comparison.

have a listen to the LH passage that i pointed out. and if you think this is one-off sloppiness in a live situation, i would also recommend the STUDIO RECORDINGS of gavrilov, cziffra, browning, pollini (purportedly spliced together one bar at a time), or Mei-ting Sun's live performance from the chopin competition. Compare each one with the performance posted here. now ask yourself, do ANY of them reach anywhere NEAR the same level of clarity and evenness in that passage?

Me, being a newbie at the piano compared to everyone here,

It's hard to believe that the piece can be played that fast especially by a 16 year old...

But that's what I think.

Good job anyways. 

Only listened to the 10/4. Sorry, going to have to call your bluff.

It's not that I don't believe that 16 year olds can play well. I've seen many 16 year olds play incredible things. Some would say that when I was 16 I did so too. However, there's a difference between amazing playing, and quite frankly, obviously fake playing. This falls into the latter category. Anybody with sufficient understanding of pianism can tell what is real and what is not. I do not need to, and thus will not, go into an explanation of why this falls within that category.

Besides, if you really did play that 10/4 (which I am very sure you did not), why do you care if people don't believe you? You should take that as a compliment. (I know that I do when people don't believe my playing. But then again, I don't try to fool people with obviously fake recordings.)

I don't like to call people out, because it's not a nice thing to do, but if you want to convince us, then you're going to have to provide video proof. Don't tell me you don't have access to a video camera, because these days, every other person has at least a digital still camera with a video mode. It really isn't that hard.

I never understood why people post things that are blatantly not their recordings and claim authorship. Do some people really lack that much self-esteem? (Remember "Araeth", anyone? lol)

da myth haz turned into legend 

Randomly, have unblocked you on MSN. 

I don't know what's really going on here, but I suddenly remembered the time when a friend of mine was studying 10/4. She recorded the piece with the digital piano, in a very very slow tempo, and then she sped it up. It sounded exactly like this recording. Insanely even, just like crazy for i.m. said.

very rarely have i gotten myself into numbers, but i feel a vibration of no. 13 than 16.

before i get asked what i am rambling about, lemme tell whoever uses no. 16 in this thread; dont overshoot!
