Any advice for Chopin Revolutionary Etude

[JustinTimberlake]

I'm currently working on Chopin's Revolutionary Etude. And I feel extremely lucky to have a great teacher guide me. But i hope to get more tips here, on practising this piece. Thank you

why no replies?

that has been a popular piece of discussion here in the past, as it has in most piano forums. I haven't tried this piece yet, but I will suggest you go back in the archives for the past months or year or so. You'll find plenty of discussion on just about anything and you won't have to wait for an answer! I have found a lot of answers  in those old pages!!!                                        Mark

maybe nobody had answered because they were afraid of the trousersnake.

but man...i gotta give u credit for takin britney's cherry.

[comme_le_vent]

alas...i fear the trousersnake no longer.....

as for the piece - i would recommend learning the left hand for the piece by itself, and once youve mastered that - the right hand is very easy to add.

I don't understand why u just hate Justin. He's very talented, he has a special voice.He dances well. Unlike Britney, who could only dance but can't sing like a singer. Britney ought to learn more from Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. And I can see that Britney's career's fading. She's not really as popular as before anymore.Well ye know, you can't expect much from someone who doesn't hav any musical talent.Boo on her. And as for that Janet thing...don't u think it was just an accident?

Gee, why am i writing all these? Isn't this topic about piano? Ok, so, thank you for your replies

i hate justin as well - for the record

about chopin: the most common mistake is focusing on the left hand and neglecting the right hand - the theme is on the right hand!!

so, practice separately, learn the left hand - you should be able to play it separately by heart and looking at the ceiling (that's very good practice). when you can do that, start playing both hands together and use your voice to play along with the right hand (helps focusing on the melody)

[allchopin]

Actually, I think it is important to get the easier right hand down without looking, because then you are free to look at the left hand while it rages.  
Practice with the metronome.
Don't stiffen up, or you'll soon be playing the 'Stationary Etude'.
Don't listen to "biased" recordings, where the pianist feels that they should contort the piece and change the rhythm.
How far have you progressed?

Since the OP was "working on" the piece eleven years ago, one would assume that it has since either been completed or abandoned.

Once again j_menz, you focus on the mundane.

Yes, the OP has probably died of old age and yes, that stuff all over the floor probably is the ashes of his dreams.
But this isn't about the shattered illusions of a fearsome trouser-snake.

Its about the MUSIC! The BEAUTY!

And those ideals are timeless.
The death of the OP may not tarnish them, nor time and misfortune mar.
