I've been playing this wonderful composition when I was 9, after 4 years of already having learned to play piano. then I got a new teacher - a nun - and because I made ONE mistake in that 6th part, the "flow" - she put me back to "groundschool". my frustration was endless and I lost the joy on playing piano, forced myself somehow through another 6 years. now, 45 years later, I bought an electric piano - and the first thing which was on my mind, was good old "Elise". it was SO amazing, how the muscel-memory immediately was functioning! only this "flow" I didn't remember how to play. now I found it - thank you SO much! (and meanwhile I do not care at all, if someone judges me to do it right or wrong ;-) the joy of playing is, what counts!
Although I do not play the piano (or any other instrument), it was fascinating for me to hear these instructions. I peek behind the curtain, if you will, of how to really add polish to a familiar piece.
I'm still not quite sure what you mean exactly by the beautiful pulse. Do you mean rubato and/or loudness of playing that oscillates measure to measure? Thanks in advance.
Aww lovely thoughts and input on the piece🤗 I am currently working it out on my Array Mbira and while searching different piano versions I cane across your video. I played this growing up. I look forward to completing it on the Array. So far first section done👍🏻 Thank you for your knowledge and sharing❤️
@@LearnLoveMusic the Array Mbira is more of a westernized version of the smaller mbira. I have every note possible on the Array. Which is not an option on a smaller kalimba or mbira. I just recorded the first section and will share soon. Sounds lovely and very different 👍🏻🤗 I love different
Yes I do. I follow the left-hand harmonies and pedal on the root of the chord. A minor and E major are the most common harmonies in this piece. Good luck!
