Saw Da Doc on a Queen Elizabeth Hall tip a few weeks ago, bustin’ out da Debussy preludes, and Carnaval.
Now, I be no speed demon, but when I see Hamelin’s 12 Etudes for sale in the foyer, I wuz layin down 20 green for dat good shit.
After Doc finished done his business, I was hangin’, waiting to get those Etudes AUTHENTICATED! I gets to the front of the queue, and Da Doc does his signing.
Now - I be learnin’ da Chopin Etude op10 1 “Waterfall” - and it be exercisin’ my right hand more than a Cindy Crawford exercise video!
So I said to Da Doc “do you ever play Chopin Etudes, like 10 1?”
He raised his eyebrows. “Chopin Etudes? Why yes, when I was a youngster of course I played them! But…err I’ve moved beyond them now.”
