I'll admit, Richter's talent was also unusual.
Either his playing is too fast or your ears are too slow.The notes are there to be heard, comfort yourself with the fact that most people, like you, don't have the listening skills.
You mean he wasn't as naturally tatented as me, but worked at it more?
Rolling your eyes wont help you see if there's a brain inside .
I wish there was an emoticon representing a look of mild disapproval combined with a chuckle.
op10no2 you are so blind to what technique actually is. Has tone production never occured to you as the cheif aim of technique? Speed is stupid. I've witnessed at least 20 people in person play the etude faster than richter, and are they better pianists? NO!! Richters technique was amazing and you are just showing your own ignorance and stupidy in saying otherwise. When will you ever learn that speed is not technique? Any idiot can move fast...look at Wunder!! And all these other pianists you rave about, and they are all nobodys. Little flashes in the pan, with people like hailing them as virtuoso.
I dont care how many people who can play that etude faster than Richter...but dont ever dare to put WUDER in the kind of idiot as you did....If you think you can do better than Wunder...then show us...otherwise just shut up( I mean you can all explain about technique and whatsoever but if you put him as any idiot who can move finger fast...then show us that you are worth saying that)....
Poss this one's more to your taste&mode=related&search=and this one's just funny&mode=related&search=
Who is Wuder?
If you think you can do better than Wunder...then show us...otherwise just shut up
why don't you just post a recording franz? i think he has failed to mention that he plays all of op 10 (not sure about 25) and i would put money on it that you would enjoy his 10/4 more than wunder's
That Richter video is fast-forwarded. See how the napkin lands on the grand when he throws it in the beginning, before playing. The napkin doesn't act like that because of great technique, it's simply against the laws of physics:P
i agree. the video is old so it s fast-forwarded naturally
I think what that means is that because the video is old it's impossible to know if the speed at which it plays is the same speed at which it was recorded.
I think it's possible it's real. It's also possible that if the tape was sped up that someone could have digitally altered the pitch of the audio back down to 440 and no one would know the difference. Thoughts on that?
I heard this recording first, about 25 years ago, when there was no digi, at all. I still have an old analog version recorded from Russian TV archives. It's the same.BTW, Richter's commercial video version of Chopin 2nd Scherzo was edited out, to remove some "crazy" moments. I have the origianl, as well.
Ok that's what I wanted to hear. Thanks Marik!
