That run need lots more attention than almost the entire piece! In the beginning, dont try to do it fast, for the sake of being fast! Allways do it slow enough that you dont play it wrong, slow down, play it legato! Speed will come the day enough time has been spent practicing it! Take a minuter or two every now and then, to just practice that run, in your everyday life! And Im sure it will get better, faster than you think it will! Good luck!
Excellent. Your nice clear and precise presentation really helps. I have been battling this for a while now but have had much better success following your pace and advice. Thank you kindly.
Thanks a lot, I learned from your video more than I could ever learn from my book tutorials. Thanks a lot for your video. from Iran (and Sweden) with love
It is a beautiful waltz from F. Chopin. Thank you for showing both hands separately. I understand that the right hand must be a beauty and the same for the left hand. I studied this waltz. And you give me the desire to study it again.
Lots of slow practice!!! It took some time before I got the hang of that arpeggio as well, but I recomend- Everytime you are at the piano, or walk by it, sit down and do 1-5 reps of that part, slow enough that you dont make a mistake! In time, speed will come, dont worry to much about that! Your job is to manage to patient enough to not got to fast, and make mistake upon mistake when practicing it!!!!:) Good luck!
Finally I saw how to play the middle part so that the fingers go to the best position. Fingerings in literature could be more specific. In the Henle edition they are sometimes even misleading, so that we would play the rightmost E with 4 instead with 5, which is the natural way.
Brilliant tutorial indeed! We can SEE which fingers on keys, timing .. everything. This is an extremely effective way of teach and for US on students on U Tube to learn. A picture is worth a 1000 words.. well here the proof of it ! Thanks for making!
I see. It's different from the fingering that I have in my sheets. I find that 2-4-3-2 works better than 2-3-2-2. However, overall I appreciate this tutorial. The pace is perfect and I like that it's just your hands and the piano without any unnecessary voiceover. Keep up the good work!
Yes. F# minor is purple for me too. I hear F major more as light blue. C major is white for me also, which is perhaps why I hear A minor as it's as cream :)
Ah, I see!!:) For me A minor is Red, its always been that way! I feel I re-discovered A minor via this piece, cause I ruined A minor for myself when I did poor and amateure improvisations in it back when I started learning piano! Now, I have new faith in it!:) I really do enjoy this piece, its simplicity is so natural and pure, and light! I like it alot, there is some interesting colours, love the "jump" from Aminor to Dminor, so easy, but it triggers something in me!:)
Was "cheating" by looking ahead to this piece in a list of classical music to tackle and thought my reading was off. Looks like a fun workout on the keys.
Nice video. For that right hand pattern in measures 1 and 2, I use the following fingering: 1 2 3 4 4 1 2 3 instead of 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4. Same fingering throughout for that RH pattern in that piece.
Thanks Thomas, Ive been working on this piece for a long time, and come back to it again and again. I was glad for your comment about mastering each hand independently, and also for the slower pace.. will you be having any other tutorials.
Awesome tutorial! As always, the hard part is getting both hands together. Do you think that it's easier learning hands separated and then getting em together? Thanks!
It's a beautiful waltz. Curiously, A minor is one of my most favourite keys, but I've rarely written anything in it that I can recall. For me, A minor is the colour of antique white/cream. What colour is it for you Thomas?
Hmm. I've never heard it as red, but now that you mention it :) D minor has about it the smell of incense burning at a requiem mass. What makes A minor so red for you?
Thank you so much I can't read very well yet and this tutorial will really help me out sincerely you make it see so easy to play thanks again if you have time I'll really appreciate to listen an Etude no 10 in A mayor that I played by ear and let me know what you think thanks here in my channel
How can a baby's hand have so much tension? Maybe not so much curling and pulling and twisting the fingers? That right thumb looks broken, the pinkie disappears when it's bent into a curl. this hurts to watch.
Its always been that way, burgundy red! I dont know how it works, Its feeling of red! Same as the F#minor got the feeling of purple and Fminor is light blue, and Cmajor is white etc!
