Burgmuller Op.100 No.2 "L'Arabesque": How to Play Short, Quick Passages 

The cleanest version I've ever seen. This piece is my nemesis. Although I'm already playing much harder repertoire this piece still gives me trouble.

Thank you so much for this great lesson! The Araesque is just a classic.

I love this! Very clear and specific teaching points, just what i’m looking for instead of the general stuff discussed elsewhere. Thank you Akira!

My Book arrived today! Keep those Burgmuller videos coming! LUV em!

Just came across your video. You are an excellent teacher. Honestly the finest tutorial i have ever come across. So beautifully explained. God bless you Akira San. I will continuously follow your classes from now on. The hard work you have out in making these videos are really visible. So many cameras, so much editing, multiple videos in a single screen! Hats off !

Your advice to get there early and feel the keys before you play is what my teacher says. This is the first of your videos that I've found. Subscribed.

Thank you so much. I learned new techniques from this video. Now I can control my finger better. ☺️

Thank you so much, your way of teaching is really helpful!

Thank you - my son loves to watch your RU-vid videos.

Really love this video. It was so exiting to watch. I learned a lot!

When I was little I looked forward to play this piece for so long lol

Really enjoying these videos, have a couple of coffees on me. ☕

very detailed and informative lesson, many thanks!!!

You are a good teacher

Great!!!

I appreciate the comment about how piano students need to "feel the keys". As a teacher this resonates with me.

I know you follow the metronome, but I like to hear this music in a slow time. Studying again with you, the first music I loved (Candore). Always applying the techniques the best I can

It's funny how those works are for intermedia level in this days, and back in time there was considered for beginers, also is so ilogical the speed marks, they doesn't match with the indications, this piece for example says, allegro scherzado, and the metronome mark sounds like presto agitato.

This is so helpful! Are you planning on discussing how to teach sight-reading, especially at the basic level?

OMG thank you teacher....🙏

Thank you for making this tutorial!

thank you!! really looking forward to the rest of the series! i play these well enough but don’t know how to teach them 🤔

Thank you so much for the guidance.

I am very much enjoying your videos!

Good Video! ❤

Great tips. Thanks a ton.

Here I goooo..... - Mike

Thank you so much. I have a piano contest in 3 weeks and i got to play this peice and i had some problems with it. This helped alot tysmm

👏👏👏

A useful and above all helpful

My teacher always hold my wrist down. I know it is important abt hand position but at some point, it makes my hand stiff and not enjoying playing piano bcs i am thinking too much abt hand. I think, when my wrist were curving, it was body ‘natural’ reaction to a more comfortable playing when playing certain notes. And also, if my fingers too curvy shape toward inside, my teacher kept reminding me. Pls let me know abt your thought abt this. I have been seen your tutorial and seems you are not as rigid as my teacher. You are also detail in explaining (I wish you were my teacher…i might love piano more)

Thanks!

What do you think about playing without the 'wrist circles' to support the movement? Personally I keep my hand and arm well relaxed and only move my finger even when playing fast 16th notes (while practicing Hanon for example, now I'm used to it) and I feel it more comfortable this way. Is it wrong? Should I practice this gentle wrist movement or can I keep playing with my technique?

Good lord...I just found gold

Things I learned in this video is to ""Slide; DONT fly ur fingers on air .."" Very detailed way of teaching . Thank u

Could we get burgmuller 4 please

1:22, 2:13

Which hanon exercises specifically were you referring for the 16 notes?

But it is danm too fast! I cant play fast like this 😢 ...i can do it slowlier though.

toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast.
