Trying to master the same piece for like 10 years is a vibe, piano is hard

Takes even more for Chopin, these pieces usually are for life :D But the good news is that you don't practice one piece non-stop. It's all in circles. Do this, return to the previous one, leap forward, return on the next level of mastery and so on.

You are perfectly right, as the passion for Chopin's music must be separated from the glory to win a competition: in fact, there are lots of people who play his pieces and remain in the shadow, but they are happy just this way. All the respect to those ones!

Yes but not necessarily. I practiced this piece on my own for six months. Found a good teacher who guided me on the hand movements etc and played it a thousand times better in a week! So imagine if a student gets perfect tuition on a good instrument from the outset how many blind alleys and mistakes they can avoid? It really is as important as that. You wouldn't try to build a car without having mechanical knowledge first?

this is so penetrating in the sense that every pianist could easily relate to that. Thank you for filming this from a sympathetic lens and recognizing our effort behind the stage, this is really huge.

@@pianosbloxworld4460 My best advice to you is that maybe try few years of professional piano class, see if you are really for it, there are so many things you will discover as you grow up, so you might be interested in other things in future. Still, knowing the effort neccessary for a pro pianist is good, but it's also important to experience to see if you can withstand that, many pianists along the way try to find inspiration and motivation to keep them going. So, to your question, never give up hope so early while you are still young. If you give up hope so young and easily, there will be nothing left to dream as you grow! I wish you success in being who you are, and go seek more advice from your parents and friends:)

@@franklee3861 man I can’t afford professional classes now, nor do my parents/friends encourage such a career…… I mean why think about it now though? I shouldn’t give up just because my parents think I should get a “career” in science/business or whatever. I still have to go to university. I’m in Canada as well and I could get professional training at the Glenn Gould school…..I’ll see.

I rarely comment on KZread but...this is really touching and inspiring. Most people only see the glamorous stage but rarely realize how much dedication, hard work, and resilience is behind each performance. This is nicely encapsulated in a Chinese saying I really like, which roughly translates to "10 years of practice for 1 minute on stage" (台上一分钟, 台下十年功).

The Chopin competition is Polish and I guess that the video was made in Poland - usually, in polish schools, there isn't a launch hall or dining rooms ( if they are - they're usually super small, libraries are super small too) so all school events are organised in the gym - we usually bring decorations, chairs, boards and instruments for the event's period there. So the story for me (for a person raised in Poland ) makes sense - after the school event when everything was cleaned only piano remained (probably because it was heavy and students shouldn't carry such valuable object) - the boy comes to still open gym and starts to play - probably mics were switch on too so all the school heard his play.

@@saramarinoni9972 Can confirm. As much as Polish schools suck, I must admit that every school I attended had a piano. Sometimes open-piano days were a thing. Those were very cool because people approached the piano because of different reasons: some people flexed their skills and beautiful playing could be heard, but some have never touched the instrument and were just curious and pushed randomly making ears of others bleed.

Well i also discovered how beautiful is being able to play the most beautiful music on the violin at 13,5 and a half year later Chopin's music inspired me to begin playing the piano too. As a self-taught pianist now, that has been 1 year since I started,. I can surely tell that it doesn't matter when you start because you can be forever a successful musician just if you work hard. Believe this in you and you will be better and better. Trust me,I am working on a piece now which was an amazing dream when i started. You can too.

I’m 26 now and discovered Classical Music at 22 through a Professor in college. I’m now slowly pursuing my degree in Music Education and Musicology, and I’m training as a Soprano/Classical Vocalist. It’s never too late to follow your passion! Another great example is the Classical Music composer (specifically from the Impressionistic Era) Erik Satie. He was expelled from Conservatory TWICE and was considered “a mediocre student and even worse pianist” by most of his professors. He barely made it through when he enrolled in his third attempt and just barely graduated in his mid-40’s. Yet, Satie is now well-known as the composer who influenced Impressionism and was well-acquainted with Ravel, Debussy, and Fauré (highly popular French composers of Satie’s day). Never let age (or anything!!) hold you back. Pursuing music is absolutely possible, no matter how old or who you are.

A round of applause to all the performers' practice and hard work behind the scenes 👏

Chopin contest is part of my childhood, when we were really poor in money with family, the Chopin competition was running (in 2011) on our TV. I remember watching it with my mom. Today after 10 years, me being 17yo (in 'for a world better' situation, and plz stay that), comes back and again is being part of it, as a viewer, once again. Opera, music, action!

God I got chills listening to the piece evolve- not just in speed but in sensitivity, touch, and maturity. This must’ve been an insanely difficult video just to produce!!!

This brings me tears of joy and speaks to every student who believes in the dream!

This is an incredible and powerful spot. Even those who are just amateurs can surely relate on some level. To me it's particularly touching, because I started studying this exact Étude a few months ago and the "struggle" has been very well portrayed here. It actually motivated me to keep pushing even though in the end it'll be just for the pleasure of playing it for myself. Thank you Chopin for these wonderful challenges you wrote!
