*Once you attempt this you know exactly what you are capable of as a pianist* good luck!

Paul Barton played this like marry had a little lamb.

I’ve just started studying this piece and it didn’t occur to me that changing the fingering was an option. I had assumed that Chopin’s fingering was part of the study.
Thanks for doing this Josh, much appreciated.

This will be the second of your valuable tutorials I will get. Having played this Etude for many years has allowed me as a lefthander to build up strength in the right hand. As you recommend, I made big gains playing the upper notes in a good legato way, while holding the fingers in the position of the lower notes of the chords without playing them.

4:20 Seong-Jin Cho does that; it's fine.

This piece is insane to learn (at least on my level).

[laurainspain]

Thank you sooo much! I really like how you explain things I enjoy how you play A LOT

Your videos are the best! While you certainly desire and deserve to make a living by sharing your gifts, you obviously care more about helping anyone with your tremendous gifts. Above all you are distinguished by a willingness to seek answers rather than pretend that you can do everything perfectly. Arrau once managed to have dinner with Horowitz, hoping for advice about how to transcend the problems in a Scriabin Sonata (which Horowitz championed). All Horowitz could think of saying was that Arrau might play it a little slower!

waterfall is much harder than this to me... those arpeggios are insane you have to play them fast cause it sounds like nothing when its slow

[walterarchibald]

Have you tried Arm rotation in (toward the thumb) on the chords in the RH? (Invisible in the end.) Also, check the correct rotation on each 16th note, again invisible in the end.

The moment I suddenly came to the point (after a shitload of practice)which I was actually able to somewhat comfortably play this in 144bpm was simply one of the happiest moments in my life as a musician😅😂

Thanks, Josh! I've been waiting for this!

[miguelzhang]

doesn't chromatic 3, 4, 5 scale practice help?

[pianpiano]

Thanks for these videos, they are super helpful :)

very good study for egality and mostly strength of the three weak-fingers ( right hand ) j like very well op10-4 also egality of five fingers of two hands .

[ohsoleohmio]

when i used cortot fingering which uses the pinky whenever possible i found the hand had slight twist alternating right to left every bar this and being relaxed enough that fingers 1 2 are seperate unit from 345 helped up to a point next was the top note of the chords but dropping or leaning on it at same time us the left rotation to pluck off the bottom two notes and releasing fast and up slightly to drop through the next notes and so forth. i find the pinky nail is almost right angles to the keys alot of time and its the grasping motion or hand posture that gets you furthest. have to get those fingers working high and curled at first then never leave the surface to get the speed its all minimum effort. saying all this my journey so far i still suck at the timing and get bogged down or tense on the chords but i blame the left hand for that haha getting stuff to work together is something i should have done from the start... doubt this would help anyone but made you think ;)

Could you give us a tour of your music library?

[Martin-fobm]

I'm having problem because my Finger 3-5 are weak
Can I use 1, 3 and 2 to play Chromatic

[quadracept]

This is unquestionably the most awkward etude to play
