It's so validating to see someone who plays Chopin Etudes with such perfection practising in such a simple and down to Earth way. Thank you for letting us peek into such a private moment in your time with the piano 🌹

L’Isle Joyeuse, to which Mr Gryaznov refers at 4.32, is the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Loved your learning it step by step. Not like some pianists think they all liszt from the beginning and stuff. I connect better w you in this type of exploratory.

You are easily my favourite concert pianist. I can't listen to any other version of Rachmaninoff's Elegie than your version. These videos are awesome!

The part that has 3 vs 2 it's quite complicated to make It sound ok, why? I dont get It. I mean the part that starts on 27.30, I do It without cross hands, as I dont have the practice to cross them properly. But why it's difficult to make It sound like flowing? Any advice? Perhaps is just the accents?

53:02 is so confusing for me too. Lol.

More in depth (close Up) images of the HANDS would have been perfect😊
