That SDC performance is very fast, but musically repugnant.

I saw the chair of Indiana's piano department, Evelyn Brankart, play all of the etudes at my school lightning fast on heavy action.


...damn.

Every one was the fastest i've heard with the exception of op 10 no 4 (of course).

speaking of 10/1, remember "i_am_robot"

(looks like he changed his name to 't kachu'  and check out his post 3 down from the top where he posts a link to his 10-1, which he claims to have mastered.

Very fast, but perhaps, no, most definitely, the most god-awful piano recording, no, recording of anything I have ever heard!

   That is false , Think of this Etude as a painting, if you stand to close you will not see the full picture, for example if you magnify a painting you will see dots and strokes. Hence if this Etude is playd slowly you will see the dots and strokes and not what it actually is, the style demands a cetin tempo, because of its repetative nature.

thats what im talkin 'bout
