audacious encore choice. the most bare and transparent etude. nice

@michaeltaomusic Месяц назад

Haha thanks it was a fun choice

@DionAriestanto 14 дней назад

honestly a surprising interpretation that goes beyond simply "playing the notes". I love the artistry in your decisions for a piece that tends to seem repetitive/overdone.

@@michaeltaomusic That would be something...My mother was a classical pianist, I listen to classical piano every day and a close friend of mine on social media is the Australian composer Phillip Wilcher. I can recommend his pieces, mostly for piano or piano and cello. He has a youtube channel. Be Well !!🎹🦋

@gixelz 2 месяца назад

very nice performance. i usually dislike really fast versions of this piece, but you brought out the melody without sounding like you "had to", if that makes any sense. only criticism i would have is that a couple arpeggios in the first half were uneven, perhaps heavy on the thumb. but you really nailed it, amazing performance.

@michaeltaomusic 2 месяца назад

Thank you for your kind words, and I really appreciate the constructive criticism. Yes, I agree, finger evenness in this piece is quite difficult and is something I’m working on. I’d love to hear your thoughts about my performance of Chopin’s 2nd Piano Concerto before I played this encore :) It is the previous video on my channel.

@sunareekaewnat8967 29 дней назад

Michael I would suggest experimenting with more rubato around the changes in dynamic. As an execution of the skill Chopin wrote the etude to improve, the performance was excellent, but I think there is more art you could bring out.

@michaeltaomusic 28 дней назад

I appreciate the direct constructive criticism! Thank you very much, I will definitely consider that

@sunareekaewnat8967 27 дней назад

@@michaeltaomusic As a baseline, I always listen to the Pollini recordings and explore what changes could be made to enhance the beauty or emotional impact of the work. How many of the etudes have you worked on to the point that you are comfortable performing them?

He plays it robustly which gives it another sound completely. Whether that sound is good or not is subjective in my opinion.

@genet.2894 2 месяца назад

The closest composer to Chopin in the 20th century would be Scriabin

@podpivasniki322 2 месяца назад

Nah man. Their style is completely different. Scriabin's (at least early-mid) is based on complex harmonies with lots of sounds and insane climaxes. Chopin is quite an opposite - infinity brilliant melodies and soul breaking drama in his codas. If we're talking closest to Chopin it's definitely Moskowski (1854-1925).

@KingstonCzajkowski Месяц назад

@@podpivasniki322 Disagree. Scriabin's use of structure and form greatly resembles Chopin's and Chopin paved the way for harmony based on motivic cells and pitch classes, which Scriabin ran with. There are brilliant melodies in Scriabin and complex harmonies in Chopin, although he doesn't use quite as many extensions as Scriabin (probably picked up from impressionist composers).
