Here's a sample of a video I made for the VIP MasterClass Series last year, covering some tips for the Chopin Etude Op.25 No.6. For a more in-depth lesson, you can also check out my ProPractice video (link in description) I made on this piece. I hope the tips shared here can help with this absolute beast of a piece that I've personally struggled with for many years and have seen a lot of improvement with using these techniques. If you get discouraged...that's normal! Stay persistent and things gradually become more natural and fluid. Good luck :)

Oh, interesting way to "get out of this fingering"...essentially just playing the thumb twice (or sliding). I always played 42 51 42 51...51 41 32. But going 51 42 31 41 is something I'll try out. An alternative way is to stick with the "inverted" style and continue like 51 42 31 42 51 42 31. Feels a bit awkward thought to switch between c# and a# with the thumb. PS: Check out Ingolf Wunder's performs of this piece. He has lots of inverted fingerings through out the entire piece.

When I was younger (maybe 16, I'm 19 now), I remember unconsciously hating on Josh for being a handsome talented wealthy man, the same way I was hating on Michael Jackson when I first knew about him. Now I both admire those 2 people. NB : Thank you for making this video because I can't bear the first 240p version you did in 2012 ahah.

Josh I swear every time I search up a Chopin etude to learn you’re already there

Ivo Pogorelich's thirds are also very fast.

Really respecting the alla breve -marking not only makes this piece 10 times more beautiful, but also 10 times more playable. Think and phrase in groups of eight 16th notes. Right hand is just color, left hand takes care of the melody and pulse and should be more important. Nobody wants to hear a Chopin etude played like an etude, it's really tiring for the ears and doesn't have that powerful, beautiful effect that these pieces have the potential for.

Been working on this piece for nearly 4 years and I nearly have it to tempo, but I don't think I'll ever be happy with. Definitely the hardest Etude.

Wow! Four years! You give me hope that it's very okay to take a year or more to master a piece, especially one that I like. ;)

José Oh its definitely okay, but with the Chopin Études it's necessary. Each one is laser-focused on their particular skill that if you do master one you probably have totally mastered that skill. This Étude, I know all the notes, but my playing of them is messy.

You should watch one of Josh's most recent videos on taking breaks, it goes in depth on this point.

That's cool. But I have no intention of ever tackling any of Chopin's Études though. I actually don't care for Chopin's music at all. If never heard any of Chopin's music ever again for as long as I shall I live, and I wouldn't miss it one bit. I love Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach, and a few others. But Chopin, meh. To each his own. I'm only in this video because I like Josh and I'm subscribed. He's a good teacher. I already have a career, and piano is just a hobby, just for fun and nothing else.

Yes, I do! I think you put it well (I probably couldn't have come up with a better word to describe what I feel when I hear his music). And with the exception of a *FEW* pieces by Franz Liszt which I do like, I have the same feelings about Franz Liszt.
