PIANO MASTERCLASS with Prof. Ilja Scheps: Chopin Etude op. 10 No. 8 

Absolut geniales Video, lieber Herr Scheps…!! Vielen Dank für diese inspirierenden 15 Minuten!

Потрясающий профессор! Человек музыки!

Excellent! Not too fast and plenty of interesting phrasing and changes of colour. very good playing.

Sind hat leider keine eigene Vorstellung wie es klingen müsste..🤔

Marvelous teacher with such a refined touch, so much to learn from him. She is like so many similar student I have seen who are convinced that once they can keep up with the metronome over the entire piece using whatever inadequate touch and buldozing through that they deserve to perform the piece. As far as i am concerned i think this student cannot play this piece, this is not playing the piece, it's rushing through it - may give what may -. I am sure Chopin would be horrified not by her playing but by her lack of realizing that hers is not a musical approach. And then there are so many of them, and when they get a bit better than her, and are able to add some dynamics they think they're total masters when they don't understand a thing about music. It must be said most of them are from the far east. They think speed is the only thing that matters. I would be ashamed, I don't even think she should be there taking the place of other more musical student who maybe does not play fast yet but has musicality.

Frankly speaking, she unfortunately has no feeling for the necessary, so important subtleties in Chopin, delays inappropriately, almost only plays down this so high-quality music, audible mistakes included. Still much to work on.

What's wrong with her chin?
