This piece is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Greg, your videos are the best! I love your enthusiasm about the music and your insights into interpretation. Beyond that, I am blown away that you a) do these in 1 continuous take (yes!) and b) in a language that isn't your native one. Hats off, sir. So glad I found your channel.

[PhilHarrison]

As you know, I've watched all 124+ videos in the series - and this gets my gold medal for the best of them all. Your absolute enthusiasm for this beautiful piece shines through, your sound (B-flat excluded, but that's not your fault! ) is exquisite; and your humour adds a dimension to the video. So much so that I've watched it 4 times! (silver medal goes to Op 37 #2). Imagine hearing Chopin play it 🤩🤩🤩 Robert Schumann must have been mesmerised! ("bewitched").

[Lavovoyaye]

Awesome tutorial, a musician who plays with soul and heart, so generous to share your deep dive analysis, immensely helpful

I've heard this etude before but I just thought it was another beautiful piece of Chopin. But now I heard your playing makes my eyes teary. Thank you so much for the beautiful play and deep analysis.

I love to play this piece, always had deep feelings in some determinate moments and you just hit the nail on the head man, it's adorable how people like you can express all the emotional feelings we deeply have towards this chopin masterpiece. thank you very very much

Greetings friom Brazil! As I commented in your op. 25-5 video Chopin was a genius. Just imagine what other wonderful and genial pieces could be created if he had had a long life like Liszt. People of Poland are lucky and should be very proud of him.

I have just started my study of Chopin's Etudes with my teacher - and am learning Op. 10 No.3 as well as Op.25 No.1 at the moment. These videos have added another dimension of context and guidance on interpretation to my playing! Thank you very much for the analysis. Dziękuję, maestro!

[encinagarcia]

Mis felicitaciones por este video tan maravilloso.Nunca había aprendido tanto !y nunca nadie me había motivado tanto para seguir estudiando. Millones de gracias maestro, OLÉ 👏👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As I see it, music really is a language. In short, I feel like it’s universality and the consistency of emotions it delivers evidence this theory. Following that theory, I believe Chopin was the most fluent “speaker” of music we have had in the history of humanity - and I so deeply appreciate Greg for offering us such striking “translations” of the language we can follow but never entirely converse in on our own.

SO WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS, Thank you for one of my favourite Chopin's Etudes in an excellent rendition and for your great analysis/tutorial, congratulations for over 6.000 subscribers to your channel, you deserve more and more..., again my best regards, have a nice evening. Joanna

The world is full of pianist pianists. However very few are musician pianists as you are. Nice to have met you.❤

[SheBytes]

I enjoyed this so much! And I have learned more about this etude than i ever understood while teaching myself to play it, so I'll be watching again. I thank you 💕

[yjko]

Can't stop repeating your performance of this Etude in the beginning. Nobody will fail to notice that you have so much love, so much passion in Chopin and his music. That's what I believe clearly distinguishes you from other pianists sharing their own tutorials of Chopin. I can confidently say that your rendition of the Etude is absolutely one of the best that I have ever heard. Thank you.

[anderslindblad]

Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring analysis!

[FituElrico]

Greg Niemczuk, congratulations on the analysis you do on this Etude, you are the only one that shows the real importance of achieving this etude with the correct technique and phrasing, impossible to play this etude well if you don't do what you say, " the left hand notes have to be very legato and you can't listen to them, they have to be almost imperceptible, ...great, you are a great pianist...love your passion saying bet you must have somebody who loves you very passionately, It couldn't' be different..you radiate a heart full of love..

[heresy]

Fantastic performance, your interpretation of any musical piece sits perfectly in my taste, and your analysis videos gives me plenty of inspiration to make better and more demanding music.

[Tiojuan-mx]

Awesome video! Thanks for the explanations and your enthusiasm

[vettejakes]

So beautifully played. Love your expression. This is on my wish list

Thanks Greg! Your videos are best analysis I could find online. I watched numerous Chopin videos from you when starting out new pieces. They were all super helpful. Love your energy and insights, and I’m touched by your enthusiasm. Downloaded this video so I could come back watch again. Thanks so much for your contribution. ❤
