Chopin Revolutionary Etude - Practice

[aslanov]

Hey, guys, i realize this is a rather short video, but i jsut wanted to get some professional opinions. I've started working on this for a week(been playing pianofor almost a full year now), and i have yet to have a piano lesson where my teacher has helped me with it, so far this has been just me practicing, hopefully after the holidays my teacher can help me make it better. but i just wanted to know if from this 43 second performance of it whether or not i've got the chops to go all the way through with it, or if i should try something else.  please suggest away another etude.

one other thing. my teacher wants me to tackle a sonata of some sort. now as a background, i love beethoven's first sonata, tempest, waldstein, moonlight (not yet to be practiced because as well as the first and second i want to do it with the 3rd, and i think that'll be my next piece), and appassionnata. im more into romantic and passionate pieces. so from that could you help me choose a sonata or sonata type piece to practice on top of the etude?

Thanks a lot guys
and please critique away.
note: i realize i was a little too much on the pedal, upon listening to it, the left hand sounds so jumbled up its ridiculous.

Right. Not just "a little too much". It's drowning. Well, I see you know it

FOr one week, that's pretty good! Especially for someone playing only a year. I've been playing for several and I'm not sure if I could tackle that or not...

Anyways, for the sonata, maybe the Pathetique? Not way too hard, but it's definately passionate and sounds pretty impressive.

to be honest i haven't  yet looked at the pedalling markings.
but i hope im on the rite track.

and i have yet to fully listen to the pathetique, i will take a listen though, thanks.

to be honest i haven't  yet looked at the pedalling markings.

there ain't no pedal markings I would suggest to practice it like a Bach Prelude first, evenly and distinctly, then after a while, add a bit of pedal.

see that just goes to show u how little attention i've paid to the piece so far. but fortunately for me, there are recommended pedal markings. which i dont fully agree with, but a good guideline nonetheless.

yes i agree, i found that playing the rach prelude in c evenly, and even in the agitato segment playing the middle notes staccato while connecting the right hand melody helped A LOT in playing the piece evenly and properly.
