This is the best Op. 10 No. 1 Tutorial ever been made! Other tutorials on this etude is nothing compare to this one.

I've learned a few bars of this to practice as a warm up exercise, and when I started I almost instantly gave up because I couldn't imagine how anyone could stretch those arpeggios, especially at tempo. But then after a couple weeks of 5-10 min a day practicing the arpeggios as chords I'm nearly up to tempo. It's almost like magic how you can "trick" your hand into playing things that seem impossible.

I never saw a pianist of this caliber so humble so positive soo down to earth with approachable practice techniques. You are lightyears ahead of other smug condescending types in Youtube. And you immediately had me by saying "don't play while looking to score". Expressing the importance muscle of memory. AND you are Polish!!! What better way to learn Chopin! I am practicing easier pieces like 34-2 waltz and 37-1 nocturne but enjoyed your video so much. Subscribed!

Grazie per la passione, la competenza e l'amore che ci metti per far arrivare a noi il frutto dei tuoi sacrifici!
Ma la sensibilità che hai tu è rara, è qualcosa che solo quando arriva al tuo livello può dialogare con Chopin entrando ne profondo dei suoi segni e delle sue note e tradurre l’intensità di quel momento.
Non è da tutti e tu sei uno dei pochi !!! BRAVO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Dear Mr. Niemczuk, your tutorial with a lot of hints in practicing this extremely difficult piece will help me a lot. As a piano learner, I am grateful for the prominent professional pianist, like you, generously giving us the valuable advices for free. Looking forward watching the other videos by you. Dziękuję bardzo.

I love your idea to support learning of piano music also for non professionals. As a senior who gave up piano for singing many years ago I am trying to get back on track now and so happy about professional advice.

[dvirrozenblat]

Thank you Greg, all of this love for music just makes me happy, seeing how happy you are talking about it, thank you for making these videos keep them up!

This is such an awesome tutorial video!!! 🤩 You are not only a great pianist but you have an incredible talent to teach and to explain. I am sure that this etude is very difficult to play/learn but you made it so easy to understand and showed how we can approach it with small steps. I am definitly going to try to learn this etude in the future. Therefore I will watch this video many many times for sure ^^.
I already watched your introduction video about practicing and I think I already made some progress after using it a few days only. Especially I used your method of repeating small sections and not to rush while practicing. Also your advice with the coffee for a better sound quality was great. My punisment for playing wrong notes was not as big as you said in this video 😅 (repeating 100 times) so I will increase the amount in the future even more and try it.
Your explanation about practicing without the piano was very interesting in this video. I have to try that aswell. Do you only think about your fingers and how they move while playing or do you also imagine how the score looks like? It feels very difficult to even imagine my hands only.

Thank you very very much for all of your videos! 🙏💖

Haha it’s hard to be amateur pianist, it’s like fumbling in the dark. Did not know how to achieve clarity, especially in this etude, your simple tip applies to everything - it makes such a difference ! Playing without wrong note is like a dream come true. Actually that’s how I started this etude, years ago, although it was way above my level, I dreamt I played it flawlessly without effort, the dream was so vivid I thought I should learn this etude.
Thank you so much for pushing us to the next level:) 🙏😊

Greg, you teach so well. I feel fortunate to be able to watch a real professional teach the Chopin etudes. Everyone here is grateful for you.

[johnburniston]

It is now August 2024-in my 90th year! thanks for opus 10, will use your advice.INFACT Brahms op 117 no 2 that I have come back to, will have the same approach as placing hand/fingers ready.Yes memorize is the key too.And use it in scherzo no 1!!!

[teomurelli]

As well as a great pianist, dear Greg, you are a very generous person in sharing with us the secrets of piano technique and Chopin' s interpretation that would take an entire lifetime to acquire without your precious help. Thank you with all my heart Greg!

[lvb]

Seriously, the most useful tutorial I've ever seen! The punishment trick is gold! Thank you for helping me on my journey, I'm almost a year into learning it. Probably another 6 months but after using this video maybe sooner.

[CyrusandAurelius]

Thank you so much. I watched hundreds of videos and your analysis videos are the most enjoyable as your passion and personal stories shine through. I have a goal to be able to play all the etudes so this series will be especially helpful.

Panie Grzegorzu, po raz kolejny zaskakuje mnie Pan swoimi niesamowitymi materiałami! Zamierzam obejrzeć cały ten materiał, z uwagi na to, że ta etiuda jest również jedną z moich ulubionych, a dodatkowo interesuje mnie sposób jej wykonywania. Bardzo dziękuję za ten materiał!
