haven’t done it in 7 years, don’t want to relearn right now with all of this other shit
however, I will learn all of them someday (i hope) probably op 10 first, then 25.
I can relearn the Ocean pretty quickly… I don’t know how to figure out vids though.
I seriously doesn’t understand the hype about the difficulty of op 10 no 2… if you don’t stop your hands, and just let the chromatics flow without jerky movements, keeping the arm moving and pluck at the chords, it’s not too bad. It uses the same 3-4-5 technique as the op 25 no 6 etude, but instead of thumb and index notes underneath each one, it has a chord every four notes. Op 10 no 1, Ocean, Winterwind etc much harder IMO
i once posted some tips on chromatic double thirds, but that thread got deleted. if you say 10/2 is so easy just prax a chrom scale with only 1 2 till you can play it like it’s nothing, then put it together with 345, shouldn’t be a prob. there’s a lot more but i don’t feel like typing it all now.
hahaha man
stop da bs
tiz da sdc conservatory not da fuckin chopinmusic!
FO thirdz : 20% iz fingah dex, 80% iz da gud uze of da wrizt/hand/spazz inertia force tech
thirdz iz in hanon wiz scalez n arpz. I dun tell tiz eazy to get da trick when ur da noob ztartin da 88… juzt lyk scalez n arpz, but a minimal prax of hanon each day, wiz lyk 15-30 minz of dnz a day, (eztimated prax tym fo a below average peniz) shud do it. even da NUTZACK can quazi-play da 25/6 man!
FO 10/2 : 90% iz raw fingah dex, da chordz iz juzt dere to prevent u from cheating wiz non-rawdex element I ztated above. u haff minimal hand inertia force to cheat
fo da 10/2 u juzt haff to forget ur hanon n start all ovah wiz monthz of raw dex building
comparin da 25/6 az a 10/2 wiz a chrom zcale iz juzt wrong too
dat wud be juzt TOO MUCH work JUZT to play a thirdz scale cuz again a minimal amount of raw dex iz required fo thirdz
tiz lyk sayin u shud race wiz a mofo runin… by walkin fazt, juzt too much work fo diz…
in da 10/2 u haff no choice to learn walkin afap… hence da difficulty
Chopets are different difficulties for everyone though.
There was an internationally renowned pianist (Andrea Padova) who just played at our music school, and he was talking about how he can do every Chopin etude except op 25/6
Just like Ho and not being able to do 10/1
Every etude is difficult for different people, 25/6 is definitely not one of the easier ones. Unlike 10/2, it has many variations. 10/2 is the same thing throughout.
That’s the thing, I use only fingers in the thirds etude, and have good dexterity. My weakness is my wrists, and the double thumbing.
I respect what you said, but really, the fingerings for the chromatics in the 25/6 and 10/2 are identical.
zepp, musicsdarkangel always talks shit. why wasted your time looking for his previous posts? the answer is obvious. whatever he comments, don’t even take it with a grain of salt.
yes, but it was easier for me than the rest…and no, I did it 7 years ago.
i moved on to other stuff
I don’t get it, what’s the big deal. 25/6 is a big pain in my ass. i’m not saying that i’m the shit or anything, but op 10/2 was definitely easier for me than the others I’ve done. It’s the whole thing throughout. And when I said 1/2, I mean 1/2 up to speed, fluent, etc etc etc and roughly 1/2 at the time, I didn’t memorize as much as practiced tech
