nicco: the edition most people know comes from the german edition, which was edited by mikuli. he was a student of chopin, but a very very bad editor and introduced way too much of his own ideas. there’s actually a sheet of paper on which he wrote about that middle section, and there’s absolutely nothing on there that would suggest that this comes from chopin.
i highly recommend actually reading the score (ekier) and the text commentary before playing a piece. it’s quite illuminating.
and w3sp, it is me. got your msg. I’ll ask anke tomorrow if she really knows you. haha
Hehe, okay
It’s been a while tho since I last heard from her (was in May over the social network “StudiVZ”). my name there is “Chris O.”
If it helps her memory tell her the host of the parties we met on was Benyamin Nuss
I just wrote her a message there as well to congratulate on her performance.
PS: It’s really cool to have you on the forums here! I’m officially your #1 Fan of your legendary Etude op10/1
yes, he generally sounds worse and overall more self-conscious to me. on the other hand, he’s cleaner this time. it’s just sad that it comes at the expense of the energy he had in 2006.
I’m still shocked that he got an operation cuz he breathed with hiz mouth and it made him make weird faces ( whooo cares? chopin comp jury? )… I wouldnt have cared bout the comments, juz be yoself mofo
