CHOPIN Etude opus 10 No. 4 | Nicolas BALDEYROU

Dear Friends, today's video is quite special as last week I didn't expect to play some Chopin on the clarinet, but thanks to @Ezra who challenged me to play Chopin étude opus 10 n°4 in the comments of my previous video, I thought why not giving a try ! Known as the "Torrent" étude, this study for solo piano was composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1830. It was first published in 1833 as the fourth piece of his Études Op. 10. This piece, a very fast Presto con fuoco, features continuous sixteenth notes depicting the impetuous flow of a torrent in perpetuum mobile fashion involving both hands. I have to say piano literature and especially Chopin are extremely difficult to arrange, and I wouldn't dare to say that an arrangement would sound as good as the original piano version, but that was quite a treat to work on that beautiful study, raising the tempo, finding the good key just to make it playable, exhuming my old clanking Eb clarinet to reach the highest notes, practicing my bass to be able to play this crazy left hand... As I often get questions about my clarinets (which are unfortunately not mine except the old Eb clarinet) and setups, I played an old R13 Buffet Eb clarinet (Vandoren BD5 and V12 3,5 reed), a boxwood Légende in Bb (Vandoren BD4 and V12 3,5), a Buffet mopani Légende prototype, and a Buffet Tosca bass clarinet (Vandoren B40 and V12 3,5). I hope you'll like it and don't hesitate to give me ideas 😁 Take care and stay safe ! ❤️ #chopin #chopinetude
