Scriabin

Step right up for Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, where piano playing transforms into a thrilling and daring spectacle! Dive into this masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of piano technique while tickling your eardrums with a devilish twist.

Chopin was like the mad scientist of Etudes, experimenting with split chords, thirds and octaves, counter-motifs, and arpeggiated chord constructions. The result? An innovative musical landscape that would make even Beethoven raise an eyebrow.

Etude No. 12 is Chopin's pièce de résistance, a fiery expression of passion that storms the stage with hurricane-like intensity. This powerhouse piece showcases heroic melodies, accompanied by stormy waves of left-hand passages – it's like Beethoven's symphonies cranked up to eleven!

Chopin's genius lies in his ability to turn melody into a living force. The Revolutionary Etude is a testament to that, as tension and relaxation weave together to form a harmonious whole. And thanks to Chopin's mastery of counterpoint, the piece achieves an unparalleled level of expression.

Even the likes of Liszt and Schumann had high praise for Chopin. Delacroix called him the "purest and best-tasting artist" he'd ever encountered. Liszt compared his music to an Aeolian harp that could magically blend all musical scales. And Schumann said Chopin's playing was like a "deep fundamental tone and a soft continuously-singing upper voice."

The Revolutionary Etude is a workout for the left hand, demanding precision, neatness, and respect for Chopin's writing. Accents every four semiquavers and a rapid tempo make this Etude an exhilarating challenge for any pianist.

So, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of technical mastery and unbridled passion with Chopin's Revolutionary Etude – it's a musical adventure that'll leave you breathless! 🎹🔥🌪️

With the chromatic harmonica, I research and explore the repertoire of classical music. You can find some recordings of this work on my YouTube channel (@jonasbachjr).

I'm a self-taught composer and the result of this creative journey is available here on SoundCloud. The recordings were made in my home studio. I'm not a professional pianist, I'm also self-taught on this instrument.

In terms of academic research, I completed a post-doctorate on the phenomenology of musical performance at the University of São Paulo (RP).

I'm a professor of philosophy at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM - Brazil)
