@@evilbabaroga well, I'm partly troling, but hey if you're hypermiling the hell out of your car you can throw the car in neutral and keep away from the brakes. I've not tried this in real life by virtue of it being seemingly dangerous (well, how dangerous is this actually though? The car is still on, so you still have power breaking and power steering, but no engine breaking). The point is to reduce rolling resistance on the downhills by physically disconnecting the engine from the wheels, the extra speed you get out can be used to overcome the uphills and save fuel in general. I don't know by how much, but it'd have to surely be measurable. Surely it would have to save whole cents per 100km! edit: I did some more reading and the savings are certainly dubious, dangerous and also probably illegal, *but* on an old crappy car, *maybe*?

These instructions from Seymour to Ben are some of the greatest moments in video history, imo. The knowledge, the passion, the articulate poetry of his directions are almost transcendent, demonstrating the delicate complexity of a few notes of music at the hands of an artist/performer. And the love, humor, and respect between these two humans is an added bonus. That this American Musical Treasure is preserved on film for future generations is a great gift. Thanks to all who make these possible.

​@@organman52 I was wondering the word "butcher", but thanks for clearing out your opinion although I don't agree with all. For example the points about arm and hand movement has a point in general and preparing to next chord etc. Although I would find this kind of teaching irritating where the teacher is stopping you all the time for a smallest mistakes instead of letting the student play or try to soak in the information and play few times. About playing softly is harder I do agree somewhat. For example at least I find it harder to do fast scale or arpeggio runs softly rather than more loudly is harder. But I do agree some of your points though.

Hello Seymour, you mentioned escapement making it possible to play very quietly using only half the key's height. I'm a piano tuner-technician with 50 years experience. I initially worked for Steinway, NYC before going it alone in Australia. I've had a great career (I'm part time now with no view to ever retire) and have met (and played duets with) some world-class pianists. I vividly remember explaining the double repetition system to a famous Australian concert pianist. His takeaway was very positive indeed. He said that by having a now full working knowledge of the action and all its modern enhancements, his playing can only improve. Having watched many of your videos, I know that you have an excellent knowledge of the workings of grand piano action. Having said that, and to elaborate on your comment about the escapement. Yes, escapement plays the 1st little trick - it's what follows very shortly after that became a game changer - the speed of a repeated note can be extremely fast. But, what's often missed is the fact that a pianist can play a note at minimal volume using the same lever that was designed for fast repetition of a single note. That game changer is called the repetition lever. Grand actions utilise what's called "double repetition. This spring-loaded lever takes over the job of lifting the hammer, rather than the jack that just escaped. The jack is what initially lifts the hammer; after it does so, its job is done until the key involved is raised past that ~halfway point. Now - pushing the key down very slowly, you can feel the escapement of the jack from under the knuckle (AKA Roller). Keep pushing the key to its limit, then slowly lift until you reach about half height - do not let the key go fully up - then play that note, repeatedly using only the spring-loaded repetition lever with the key never being allowed to be raised past its halfway point. Note that every grand piano's key height - whilst ready to be played by the repetition lever - will vary slightly. To my knowledge, there still doesn't exist an upright piano action capable of double repetition Thank you for your always intriguing video content!

Almost 35 now, played the movement a million times, recorded it for a friend, never been happy with it. This was so deeply informative and wonderfully satisfying. More than anything else it's convinced me of the importance of a good teacher (a lesson which I keep learning - a good teacher is worth their weight in gold - and Seymour is 24 karat gold).

Seymour spoke the truth when he said the strongest part of the body is from the pelvic girdle, and the second strongest is the shoulder girdle. I worked as a Chiropractor but had to rehabilitate and learn a whole new method of working due to a shoulder injury. In fact I live with a FURS Syndrome. But I learned how to treat the shoulder, and found that in Europe it's one of the most mis-diagnosed and mat-treated articulations in the body. I have a video about my exercises for stabilizing and strengthening the low back as well as treatments for the upper body and arms. Oh My Aching Bach.
