Thank you to everyone who has requested this tutorial over the years! I appreciate you sending me the suggestion to learn, perform, and record a tutorial on it. I hope you enjoy this, and truly appreciate your patience in waiting for this (some of you for many years). Have a great week of practicing!
Thank you so much for your time and explanation. Please, any chance you could get the tutorial along with music sheet so we read it along your descriptions.
@@joshwrightpiano I am 14 years old and I started 1 year ago and I can play 3 pieces für elise, nicole bianche, and clair de lune and I was wondering If I should start this piece?
Just started self-learning the piano last week with no previous music background. My mouth is agape due to the detailed depth of this tutorial. It is like a whole new world has opened up for me.
As always, beautiful and honestly explained! This is a score that I keep starting, getting stuck and putting away. Maybe with your tutorial, (and a ton of practice) I will finally get through it! Oh and congratulations on 100k subscribers! Hope you hit a million soon!
Magnificent! I took up piano way way too late in life to ever be able to play this but ironically my mother did when I was a child and it drew out a lot of long forgotten memories. Even though this piece is miles over my head I loved watching and listening to your tutelage. Thanks as always.
This is a very inspiring video, thank you for releasing this video. Other videos are too fast and this one, you added alittle touch to it so i can understand
I love your videos! Do you suggest to practice that 3rd movement slowly, let's say quarter 80, and increase speed up to 140 in one practice session? Or should I practice in a comfortable speed, maybe quarter 120, and wait until speed come by itself naturally? I've always had that doubt.
Jeremy Weasley thanks Jeremy. I hope your studies are going great and that you’re enjoying all of the content in the ProPractice Lifetime Access course. Have a great week!
ive been playing piano for 14 days since lockdown here in my country New Zealand. My first piece only because ive always wanted to learn it but never got a round to it was Moonlight Sonata 1st movement it took me 8days now i know it off by heart . I know i shouldnt attempt this piece but really want to try it looks very difficult though i cant get the speed needed for it but i can play the correct notes at a slower speed. Not the same any advice?
Josh, I saw a pianist on youtube who posted a Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mvt tutorial. He says we shouldn't rotate our hands and our thumbs must travel in a straight line during the very first part (broken cord / arpeggios). Your method provides much less strain on my hands but this person says it's the wrong method. Which is the most preferred method? Ps. His playstyle is not as refined as yours and your concertos are really phenominal!
Same. I’m at an advanced level and no matter how many times I practice a piece I always make at least one mistake. I want to know the secret to how to play with no mistakes.
Nice demonstration. I was curious as to why at the 5:00 mark in the RH you choose to cross over the thumb with your fingering on the E. Seems a bit awkward although you seem to handle it fine.
Hey josh I know your probably filled with pro practice suggestions but can you make a tutorial on Chopin’s opus 34 no 1 Waltz also hope you feel better soon
It's all subjective Nick. There are people who take it faster, and people who take it slower. Since it is marked Presto agitato, I wanted to push it quite fast without sacrificing the character or clarity
@@joshwrightpiano Thank you for sharing your experience with us.❤️ Whenever I want to learn a new piece I search for your toturials first. Also, hope you make a tutorial on Chopin's nocturne #21 in c minor. Thank you Josh.
I didn't haha. This is a new one now that I've learned and performed the whole piece. The old tutorial from 2013 was just some basic strategies for getting started
My first comment. I have been trying to play this in 12 keys. So, I am so interested in this video. You could do this all year long! Seriously, I am I so in love with this piece. I was just a subscriber but now I am a listener. I hope you are not insulted, but I play jazz and your videos really help!
