Hi, I found your playing very admirable. You seem to struggle with this piece much less than I did, and it also took me much longer time to learn it properly. It kind of seems to me like a Hanon excercise rather than a beautiful Chopin piece though.

You have very strong fingers, but I think it's kind of a double edged sword in this etude - Although you can play it with no fatigue with the fingers alone, it can make you ignore the wrist movements here. I personally believe that Chopin wrote a chord in the right hand every 4 notes for a reason - to make you "bounce" with the wrist, achieving a much nicer legato sound, rather than just playing it like a typewriter.

I think you are on a good way and sorry for my terrible english

I think it is really coming along well! Don't try and play it any faster for now, keep it solid like this and you will EASILY increase tempo later.

I've subbed to your channel btw 

beautiful sounding piano, any more details about it?

Thank you very much!! ) Yeah i keep playing and practising it. Hopefully it will get better

As for the piano thank you for that too I was very lucky to be able to get it. It is a C. Bechstein Model L from 1930. From the inside it`s like brand new.. not played at all So yeah.. i am very happy )

Good job dealing with this impossible little monster.

You look pretty relaxed playing this. I'm not sure if having such a large hand helps with this etude; it's hard to make suggestions but if I was to say anything it would be to make more of the left hand. Really admirable playing though; I think this is one of the absolute hardest of the conventional mainstream etudes.

I agree for the left hand.. I guess it will show more when i feel really comfortable with the right haha :Dd
