C.V.Alkan - Etude Op.27 "Le Chemin de fer" 

0:01 Our journey beggins 0:29 The train starts shaking a bit, but its fine, not like its falling 0:46 Oh look at those beautiful mountains passing 1:16 Passing under a tunnel... 1:35 Outside again, everything looks coming to you like an arrow(Moscheles said that when he was invited to go on a train) 2:05 "If any passenger got any questions, wants to buy any product or order some service, please talk to the attendants in your cabin" 2:10 Alkan runs to ask for some food now that the voice awakened him :/ 2:29 "We will bring your potato chips in a few moments Sir." 2:41 While he waits he stares at the window again, seeing the mountains pass 3:19 "How dare you disturb me while I observe the mountains?!?!" said Alkan, "Its your potato chips...." said the attendant, "oh..." 3:24 Alkan proceeds to eat them as fast as he cans, he knows something can happen while he does that. Gotta stay always alert 3:37 Each one of those scales is Alkan asking "are we arriving?" to someone next to him. Alkan starts getting nervous for some unknown reason 3:40 The person gets angry for some reason and starts telling Alkan to stop 3:53 Alkan refuses to stop, he says that to shorten the distance he will get out of the train as soon as he can 4:05 "We are arriving to the next station in a few moments, and now please be quiet" the man said to Alkan 4:35 "We have arrived to the station XYZW in the town of ABCD, please note this is not the fi-" Alkan doesn't listen, he just runs to get out as fast as possible 4:42 "Please wait the doors to open sir..." 4:51 Alkan finally gets out *After the music ends* Alkan realizes he got out on the wrong station... having nothing to do while waiting the next train he grabs his pen and starts writing a piece about his journey, before he can write a minor ending chord to represent his mistake, the train arrives and he just throws it in the middle of the station. A music publisher passing by sees the score, grabs it and enters the train trying to find Alkan and asks if he can publish it, Alkan says "yeah whatever"

기깔나게 굴러가네요 캬..

0:20 Those diminished arpeggios give me the goosebumps

I was waiting for this one. So clean! Great performance, practise paid off :D

You are so fast and so precise. You are a wonderful pianist. C.V. Alkan would be happy to know that you are keeping his works for piano alive.

When Alkan wrote this piece known as the railroad he didn't just mean speed. I am studying it and it is very difficult for the endurance. For this reason, the French term Chamin de fer or the iron path intends to refer to a study aimed at making the iron hand become real. To perform this piece at the established speed, it is necessary to have great strength and mastery in the fingers. This is probably one of the reasons why liszt was afraid of Alkan who considered him unattainable on a technical level and it is also the reason why alkan is poorly executed. Few have mastered his technique. I believe that on a musical level there is a bit of melodic immaturity in some pieces of Alkan however this piece is incredible not only in the music but above all in the effect that unfortunately can only be obtained with a left hand.

This is why we practice scales...

No one: Alkan: *V I V A C I S S I M A M E N T E*

와 진짜 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 초반부 라라라라 듣자마자 입이떡벌어지고 바지에 지릴뻔했습니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 모리시타 유이 스피드랑 삐까뜨시다니 진짜 테크닉의 한계가 궁금해지는 분이세요 대단하십니다...

Wow! This is played incredibly well! Alkan's works are no easy task! Fantastic playing! Definitely a competiton or an encore piece for sure! You make this look so easy and this is a very hard piece to play! 😮😳😲

I can’t imagine that trains moved this fast in 1844, when Alkan wrote this piece. It should be called “chemin de fer futur”.

AMAZING. ASTONISHING. UNBELIEVABLE. and then u say that Feux Follets is too difficult for u

구독자 1000명 돌파하셨네요 ㅎㅎ 이 정도 실력이시면 진작에 돌파하고도 남을 실력인데....... 축하드립니다~~

Epic. I love it, thank you again for your performance.

I would say that this is the best performance in history of this piece!!

Holy crap. You must be a very famous concert pianist. If you aren’t you should be. This is incredible stuff

Seonyong, the Alkan player is back again! Is always a plasure to see your videos, this one is the best version of Le chemin de fer on youtube. Congratulations and keep playing. Greetings.

아니 이게 사람인가;; 그냥 구독박고 갑니다 ㄸ

I absolutely love the rage unleashed towards the end!

すばらしい！ありがとうございます！ あなたの演奏を聴いて、心から感動しました。 Bravo!! io sono contenta perche posso sentire tuo piano. grazia mille😊

기사 에튀드로 알캉이라는 작곡가를 알게되었는데 이런 난곡들을 여러개 작곡한 알캉이란 작곡가는 정말 대단한거 같고 그걸 깔끔하게 연주해주신 황선용님도 정말 대단하신거 같아요

너무잘친다 진짜... 어쩜이리 민첩하게 잘 돌아가시는지... 감탄!

Perfect tempo !! Alkan would be proud of you ^^

Very interesting piece of music, very difficult, and very well played.

3:51 클라이맥스

우연히 영상봤는데 소름돋아서 바로 구독했습니다..후반부 특히 미쳤네요 너무 대단하세요

You're brilliant!! I'm looking forward to you playing op.39-7😊

확실히 다른 클래식 곡들보다는 제곧내의 느낌이 강하네요. 알캉의 곡들 정말 좋아하는데 가장 좋아하는 곡들중 하나여서 듣기 더 좋네요 ㅎㅎ

Your interpretation of everything you play is always amazing 😄 I didn’t realize how fast this piece was supposed to be played though! Also I wish we could get you some professional recording equipment 😭 Your recording of Mereaux’s Etude 45 is very clean, I’m not sure if the way you’re recording other videos is different from that video or what. This is a piece that definitely would have benefited from recording with a cleaner microphone or something. Regardless it’s okay haha. You could record with the worst camera ever and it would still blow us away 😄 Keep up the great work!

What the actual frick. First time someone have played this at correct speed, not only that, but a clean and astounding performance. I’m amazed.

You are a phenomenon, congratulations on such talent!

Thank you, in particular for showing the score for people to follow and learn.

Best recording on RU-vid. Very very well done! More Alkan and Liszt!!!

i really loved how it starts with D minor and ends with D major

기사 에튀드 보고 화들짝 놀라서 모든 영상 정주행 중입니다.. 진짜 진짜 진짜 기교가 장난이 아니십니다 ㅠㅠ 어떻게 연습하시는지 정말.. 배우고 싶을 따름입니다 ! 이런 채널이 떠야하는데 정말 제가 다 답답하네요.. 앞으로도 좋은 연주 부탁드립니다!! ps. 쇼팽 스케르초 1번 연주도 나중에 꼭 들어보고 싶어요 ㅎㅎ

산업혁명시대를 배경으로한 흑백영화의 석탄을 싣고가는 증기기관차가 생각나네요.

알캉은 어렵든 쉽든 기교 하나하나가 정말 곡의 주제를 표현하기위해 적재적소에 이유있게 쓰는 느낌이라서 너무 호감임

자기전에 연주 몇 곡 보려고 했는데 충격먹어서 잠 다 깼네요 와.. 구독..

아니 손가락 굴리기도 바쁜데 그와중에 표현까지 다 살려가면서 연주해내는거보고 진짜 감탄밖에... 와..

Great recording. Excited to hear the Spanish Grande Fantasy!! :)

Excellent performance ！Thank you！

Nice job! You better have great scales to play this piece. Good job and love the repertoire! Keep it up

Man this piece is crazy, and you too!!🤟🏼💪🏼

Beatiful performance! You are a crazy genius!

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!! congratulations !!!

드디어... 알캉의 '철도(Op. 27)를 5분 이내에 연주한 한국인이 탄생했군요...! 속도만 빠르다고 되는 건 아니고 알캉이 의도하고자 했던 걸 제대로 살려야 하는데, 황선용 님은 속도도 거의 인템포 수준에 악상도 잘 살리셨으니... 그저 한국의 아믈랭, 혹은 모리시타 유이 급 비루투오소로 칭송할 수밖에 없습니다. 축하드리고, 수고 많으셨습니다! 혹시, 리스트 스페인 대환상곡 끝내시면 알캉의 '사냥하듯이(Op. 53)'도 도전해 보실 의향이 있으신가요? 160년 간 묻혀 있었다가 겨우 작년에 momomo 님하고 제가 미디로 구현하는 데 성공했는데, 황선용 님의 제대로 된 인간 연주를 선보이면서 이 곡을 알렸으면 하는 바람입니다. ㅎㅎ

한참 좋아했던 곡인데 정말 대단하시네요 😮😮

Amazing!! 👏👏👏

Wow. I heard somewhere that a performance longer than 5:03 is not a proper performance, you managed in 4:58 while retaining the essence of the music(Alkan must have been addicted to trains). Very good job. Btw very happy you're learning spanish rhapsody, I love it, that catchy La Follia theme never disappoints xD

Its fantastic! Best performance!!!

와... 정말 어려운 철도에튀드를 이렇게나 완벽하게 연주하시다니 ㅎㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ 다른 분들 말씀대로 테크닉의 한계가 궁금해지네요...!! (저번 기사에튀드 영상부터 정말 보통 분이 아니시란 생각이 확 들었는데 진짜 대단하십니다...)

무슨 이런 철도에 기차가 가다가 탈선할 것 같아요;; 치시는거 엄청 대단하셔요! 그리고 스페인 대 환상곡 오타나셨어요! 대환상곡이 아니라 대환장곡이에요!

Serious question, is there any way I could see you in concert? Are you touring anywhere? I would pay a ridiculously large sum of money to see you play this live.

언제들어도 놀라움을 금치 못하겠습니다.....브라보! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

You did it!! Amazing performance, the closest here to Morishita's one! You are so talented!

진짜 철도에 기차가 빨리다니는 기분이네요!!!!짱 잘치신당ㅜㅜ

Amazing - as usual!

Your channel is unbelievable, always great interpretations of the most challenging pieces in the NOT standart repertoire. I think it is very important to play music, that not everyone plays! Great playing of this etude!!!! Maybe Godowsky is something for you, I bet you could play some of his Chopin transcriptions or even his gigantic Passacaglia in b-minor!!!!!!

Definitelly subbing after this brooo

Absolutely phenomenal playing!

Can you tell me how you practice? Do you follow a specific routine? Scales? Octaves? Something I wouldn’t think of?

This is truly insane, but I don't find the musical content in some of these Alkan pieces to be worth the extreme difficulty/effort. I can easily motivate myself to learn things like the Grande Sonate and Solo Symphony, but these etudes... Anyway, this is some next-level playing.

Your playing is absolutely shocking, well done! It's a hard piece too

이분 왜 안뜨지...진짜 구독자 몇십만명 되셔야 할 분인데ㅠㅠㅜㅜ진ㄴ짜 테크닉 보고 감탄했습니다 입이 떡벌어지네요....

저는 평소 피아노칠때 손목에 힘을 자주 주고 쳐서 아플때가 종종있는데 이분은 손목에 힘이 없음 그니까 ㄹㅇ 릴렉스된소리임... 좋은 연주 잘들었습니다!

simply amazing…

Lol that's such a Lisztian way of ending the piece, *like nothing ever happened and now we're just gonna end it all in a state of intense contemplation.*

Omg this song is madness!!!!! 😬😬😬And you played it! Slow clap!

이 어려운거를 인템포로 연주하신다니.. 기사에 이어서 정말 놀랍네요! 멋진 연주 보고갑니다!

3:34 왼손 어떻게 5432번손가락을 저 속도로 꿀팁있어요?

Man some parts sounds so nice

와 한국인이 드뎌 일냈네요!!! 팔이 굉장히 편해보여요!! 기술이 정말 좋으신거 같아요!! 응원합니다😊

Pacific 1844! Piano's mostly in tune here, so I could enjoy this! As an Alkan fan since the early 1970s (Lewenthal's book), I love seeing you post your progress for the world to see and share! One little request: less pedal when the left hand gets active with the chords on the 3rd eighth note. It gets muddied and hard to hear. -- In other places where you pedal less or not at all, it's thrilling to hear the details in your playing! I really felt like I was on a train. Also, just before the end, with the bare octaves, it doesn't look like Alkan indicates a rit. there. If that's true, then as Lewenthal says, it's best to follow exactly what Alkan wants and maintain tempo. Not saying this to criticize or reduce your amazing work! Just careful suggestions from someone who is very familiar with & connected to this music. Keep going!

The lord has blessed us this day

와 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 진짜 존경합니다 !!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 기사 에튀드 연주하시는거 보고 설마 철도도 잇겠나 싶었는데 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I have never seen anything like this before. My jaw dropped.

You are a beast! Bravo!

Amazing work!

알캉의 특유의 기교와 서정적 멜로디가 잘 어울러진 곡같네요~ 설명란에 적으신 스페인 대환상곡 진짜 기대되네요~

평소에 알캉곡을 즐겨들어 유튜브검색하던중 우연찮게 들어왔는데요.. 저번 기사에튀드에서 한번놀라고 철도에튀드에서 소름돋고갑니다 우리나라에 이런테크닉을 가진분이 계시다는게 자랑스럽네요 나중에 좋은피아노로 제대로된 환경에서 연주하실수 있길 바랍니다 ㅎㅎ

철도를 이렇게 깔끔하게 치다니ㄷㄷㄷ....초반 a 동음연타듣고 바로 구독누름ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Beautiful music thank you

you did le chemin! finally

와 웬만한 피아니스트도 5분안에 치기는 힘든데... 장난아니시네요 ㅎㅎ

Just got an ad before the playing that said "it's a myth piano's hard, anyone can do it!" **Laughs In Irony**

3:40와 너무 좋습니다. le pruex도 그렇고 느낌 진짜 잘 살리시는것같아요

정말 대단한 피아니스트이시네요. 분명 유명한 연주자가 되실것 같아요. 혹시 실례가 안된다면 현재 대학 재학중이신지 졸업하신건지 알수 있을까요? (혹은 아직 미성년이신지) 되도록 가까운 미래에 무대에서 보고싶어요.

우와 어쩜 손가락이 건반 위를 스치는 듯 쓸어버리는 듯 그냥 회오리바람처럼 움직이네요 감탄하고갑니다 :)

아니 이게 말이돼..? 형... 넘모 섹시하자나....

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ진짜 유튜브 영상으로는 못볼거라고 생각했던 극악무도한 곡들을 쳐주는 한줄기 빛같은 채널입니다 진찌 대단하십니다

この演奏に限っては森下唯さんの演奏に部が上がりますが貴方のop17の演奏はとても素晴らしい

Great performance !!

Great Job !!!

작곡가 이름 발음부터 후덜덜 하네..... 연주자분 알파고이십니까..? 리듬, 비트, 소울...진짜.. 안쓰는 연주법....훠우!! 건반을 뒤집어 놓으셨다

진심 주기적으로 한번씩 들으러왔다가 댓글이 499개라 또 남겨요.. 형 넘모 쎅쒸해 선용이형 하고싶은거 다해.......

와... 말이 이거밖에 나오질 않네요...ㄷㄷ

Perfect😍😍😍

amazing !!! Bravo !!!

언제나 멋진 연주 감사합니다.

The middle part is so pretty
