Chopin Etude 10-2 concern

on: March 25, 2011, 05:02:03 PM

Am I deaf/blind to actually think that SOME great pianists omit SOME of the middle notes in this etude to play it up to speed?

In Lisitsa's recording:

I can't see her index finger (finger 2) playing any notes in some, if not most parts. I can only hear/see the thumb + the chromatic line

Now, this one's quite obvious.

I also can't quite hear the inner notes in this one

Now, I'm learning this etude as of the moment, and the inner notes are killing me

You try to hit a hundred. And if a few fall by the wayside, pazienza...

I don't know, but I think there a difference between missing a few notes accidentally 'in battle' or making a conscious choice to omit certain parts.

Have you seen the tutorials given by Paul Barton on the 10-2, BTW: p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSbDwhLyGso ? (this is part 1)

I think in those videos i have posted, it was a conscious choice

Awesome tutorial though

I actually did what he was saying in part 2

Yes, some pianists quite unashamedly miss the middle notes. Not all, though!
