I am still working on this etude, because it is still not perfect;-)

I'll congratulate you now for this very fine rendition of the ferociously difficult first Chopin etude and thank you for each and every contribution you make to promoting pianism; the regular and attentive practice and study of the piano and its incredibly huge literature, in order to find that place of self-realization that few other pursuits can offer.

Everything by the way is far easier to access on You Tube and you would have a wider audience there. Just suggesting.

really, you are visibly progressing, it's wonderful, i think you don't need to do much more with this piece, don't waste time, start another piece.

Thank you very much...

yes, I heard that it is better to do as many Chopin etudes as possible, and you don´t have to do it PERFECT like Pollini at first, because at first it is most important to learn the hands as many technic problems as possible.

Howerer, it is always good to have a few pieces as well prepared as possible - for competitions or encores:-)
