Medical Student plays Chopin – Masao Takahashi, piano – 髙橋真生（ピアノ）

[Medical Student plays Chopin] -demo-
excerpts the last two minutes from Chopin’s Scherzo No.1 in B minor op.20
by Masao Takahashi ( Concertpianist, Bachelor of Medicine )
in 2000, Ehrbar-Saal ( Prayner Komservatorium – Wien – )

I recorded Chopin’s two Etudes(op.10-11&12), Nocturne op.48-1, Ballade op.52, and this Scherzo within three hours, to apply for the Fourteenth Internatinal Frederick Chopin Piano Competition, because I had not enough money; I was a medical student at that time.

You will find my transition stage from a medical student to a concertpianist, and I was struggling so hard with music through these performances of mine.

I am very glad if you feel something in my performances.
