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 ! ❤️

This guy can play anything, I swear
😂😂😂
i'm sick of these jokes i don't even watch ling ling brothers but i get it everytime
Insanely impressive.
Thanks so much Chris and happy new year ! 🥂✨😊
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 when we get back to normal, do you tour??
Chris here too? You've got some diverse musical interests
you probably dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Alfredo Conner Instablaster =)
Nicolas flies to other planets to study there for more than 40 hours a day
😂😂 interstellar practice 😁
60 Hours a day Probably
Lol I love 1:35 where contrabass Nicholas just creeps in for his massive entrance haha. Sounds great as always!
Thanks so much Leonard !
I've always wondered what this piece would sound like played by clarinets. Now I know: it sounds brilliant!!
Is not the same a piece played by Clarinets than a Piece played by Nicolas Baldeyrou
@@isaiasantoniolirianomadera4390 very well said
Thanks so much ! 🙏🙏😊
0:05 I really like those broken octaves, they make the arrangement sound cool and unique!
Wonderful! I love that you can hear every note of this piece with your clarinets. The original is for piano, but some pianists play it like a speed competition, they don't give you a chance to appreciate the musicality. This clarinet arrangement is perfect for the beauty and clarity. Thank you.
As both a clarinetist and pianist, I agree. Chopin revolutionized the piano etude so that it could get the same musical treatment as a regular concert piece, and it sucks how it's become a speed competitions.
Thank you so much ! I also agree, going faster is useless in my opinion, but I was missing the sustain pedal for some passages 😅
I'm sure original tempo was slower. Look at the Bernhardt Ruchti's channel and his version of this etude.
Imagine op 10 no 12
IT would be insane
By the Way insane performance
🙏😊✨ thank you for the proposition, I’ll check it out to see I can do it !
So it happened today!
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 I just Can't Believe this happened, thaks you so much I truly admire your work, keep going ❤❤❤❤❤
Another display of musicality, virtuosity, and editing skills. Fantastic video as always, thank you!
Thanks so much Raúl !
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 👏👏👏
Only discovered this video after the thought popped in my head, "I think it would be cool to arrange 'Torrent' for a clarinet choir," and sure enough, you beat me to it by over a year. Great arrangement and performance as always
I hardly feel I have the right to praise this, given how good it is. The ensemble precision is beyond belief given that each line is recorded separately: I can't think of many groups who could mesh so exquisitely even if they could hear each other. And by the way it's a disgrace that Buffet haven't made you a present of the instruments you use: one could hardly imagine better advertising for the merits of the Legende (and Tosca bass) than your videos. Thank you so much for these consistently inspiring productions.
Thank you John for your kind words, I truly appreciate !
It's funny because as a pianist and clarinetist I had to learn this etude to the point it burnt me out on piano, so I'm just practicong clarinet until I'm back to normal.... and then this hit...
You must have a great piano level 😱👏🏻 I never managed to play it 😭
What the heck it sounds so good in D minor! I love this😍
I predict that one day this channel will blow up.
I KNOW IT!
Hope so ! Thanks for your support !
It has to! This man deserves the absolute highest subscriber count possible! The arrangements are perfect! Plus, the presentation is amazingly splendid!
Every time I am surprised and delighted and happy that we will be able to see each other at the competition in France in 2021.
See you soon then ! 😊
Quel talent et quel travail pour en arriver à ce degré de virtuosité ! Bravo !
Mille mercis !
...astonishing! In a week you were able to arrive to this performance? ....you can't be human (in a good sense 🙃)
A very busy week I must say 😄 thank you Giuseppe !
...I'm sure, but I were (and think not to be alone...) not able in a whole year 😁😁
Je me demande encore comment c'est possible de jouer ainsi XD Incroyable Mr. Baldeyrou !
Merci Romane !
Why the heck is this one of my favorite videos on YT
Anyway good playing
Absolutely fantastic...you are a precious jewel.
🙏😊✨
One of the great players of our time.
The Contrabass sounds SO GOOD😵
Thank you so much Edward!
That was phenomenal!!!!
Thanks so much !
Chopin himself would be impressed by this🥰🥰
If only it was true ☺️
Maestro, encore une fois vous nous ébahissez. Il ne manque plus que l'apparition d'une petite Clarinette en La b dans une marche militaire ancienne et la clarinette en sol dans une composition du Moyen Orient et aurez tout jouer!
Il faut garder une marge de progression, toujours ! Merci beaucoup :-))
I don't understand how this is possible. I am a professional clarinettist but now realise I need to do more work! Surely this is how violinists felt in the 1830s when they heard Paganini. If you're Ludwig Spohr you probably put your violin away and took up bird-watching! Bravo x1000 Nicolas.
素晴らしい😭感動!👏👏👏
Very nice arrangement, Nicolas! Thank you for using the great B-C 1935 contrabas clarinet again, I love that instrument!
You’re welcome, I love it too 😍
I think you dropped this 👑
Thank you 🙏😊
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Could you arrange the Shostakovich Festival Overture all for clarinets? :)
Fantastico e cosi' simpatico. Sorrido ogni volta che ascolto Nicolas, bravissimo e autoironico
🙏🙏🙏🙏😊✨
I wasn't expecting to ever ear that played on the clarinet ! Well done !!
No quite Richter's tempo thought ! 😉
Remember, it's not the same listening a song played on Clarinets than a song played on Clarinets by Nicolas Baldeyrou. With him it always sounds better
@@isaiasantoniolirianomadera4390 absolutely!
Why try to diminish his accomplishment by comparing him to Richter? His arrangement is fantastic and the tempo fits for the clarinet.
@@smooflarkin Agreed
@@smooflarkin And a duration of 2 min. is quite normal !
I can’t, it sounds so nice! I’m proud to be a sub.
Thanks so much, happy that you like it !
Absolutely incredible as always :) you sound amazing man great job
Thanks so much Allison 😊🙏
You amaze me every single time! Your sills are far beyond a very good good musician...
🙏🏼🔥😊
Increíble Maestro! De mayor quiero tocar como tú😎
🙏😊✨
Bet this guy could cover all of Chopin's Opus 10 Études, and still breathe like a God
You’re too kind, I wouldn’t be able to play all of them but I’ll try to make one or two more in the next weeks :-))
素晴らしい!
感動しました。
