😃😃😃I think the concert will be amazing and fantastic. What is the title of the CD? Tell us on RU-vid if we can buy the CD on the night and have it personally autographed by you. Good Luck with the CD Launch and concert.
I have been practicing this piece for two years now, and then I come across this video of a person who can play it better than I can after an hour of practice. This is soul crushing
You can see the editing improves from video to video. Definitely a huge leap compared to the editing from older videos. Thank you for putting in the work!
I'm so excited for this one! edit OMG I am so freaking impressed by your octaves and the tempo and clarity you achieved in one hour, not to mention how the playful spirit of the piece came through, it sounded relaxed and fun! I also really appreciate the explanation of the technique!!
Haha I think I should try to get someone on the channel to show you guys what it really means to be GOOD in sightreading 😂 there are people who do this professionally and I feel completely detroyed seeing them sightreading the pieces so easily 🤣
@@heartofthekeysI don't remember his name, but I know there was a concert pianist who literally sightread the entirety of a Ravel concerto during his concert. There are some disgustingly good sight readers out there.
Thank you for this video. I am a "lower" intermediate (Lol) student and it really encourages me in my studies when I see the challenges the professionals have when learning a new piece. Despite my own challenges, I know I'm on the right track when I get a glimpse of your challenges. Thank you so much. We really need more of this sort of content.
It was like in the movie Groundhog Day, where he keeps going in for a piano lesson and gets better and better. Very satisfying! I also appreciated the explanation on how to make playing fast octaves easier.
As someone who put in the hard work and dedication for nine months during secondary school last year learning this piece and going on to play it as our assembly musical item just last week, it is interesting to see people like you who can learn it in such a short amount of time. Of course though, for some, sight reading comes naturally (not for me sadly😅). Really awesome work. Just a tip for people trying to learn this piece: I would recommend attempting Rousseau's bridge (transition). It adds a slightly higher level of complexity, but it is 100% worth while in the end (and its only about 3 seconds worth). I am talking about 8:53 - 8:56 in this video and in Rousseau's video, the modified bridge is at [6:10 - 6:20]. Good luck to everyone!
As a learning pianist with nowhere near your skills, it's so insightful and encouraging to watch this series - they're like a masterclass in practice skills alone! Plus it's fun to watch you laugh at yourself and suffer haha 🤪😈
love the videos, i genuinely find them really entertaining. Though I must say, in the most respectful way possible, i prefer the old style without the edit in between the 1 minute 10 minute and 1 hour. But thats just my preference. :)
It's just amazing how you manage to make this soft sound. It's one of my professional skills. I've been playing this piece for a year until the end, including the craziest part where at the beginning my hands broke, it took me 3 months to get it all right. At lightning speed against very strong octaves in the left hand, this is a difficult sixth piece, it's among the hardest I've played, but the hardest I've played is Don Zoan, full of mistakes, but you can still hear a melody, but just think how difficult Liszt's level is for Chopin, all in all, it's a difficult technique with fingers, but no A monster like Liszt to break his hands
Gut gemacht, Annik! In order not to stretch with the octaves a good idea would be to alternate your 5th finger with 4th. Of course if your fingers are long enough for this .
I took up classical guitar about 2 years ago, I'm learning very slowly so I'm still very much in the beginner stage, but I sometimes struggle with reading two notes at a time. I don't understand how you read 6 notes per beat without even trying that hard???? Edit: wow, the piece is seriously beast mode, you did great 🎉
Love your challenge videos ❤‼️💯👏🏿 Always pleasure seeing you work and explain your work WHILE having fun 😊✊🏿💯‼️ You inspire me and also well done on the new vid format🤟🏿‼️
Haven't seen you for a while. Love the graphics on this. You also remind me what a professional musician looks like; I'm still trying to perfect Fantasie Impromptu 😭
Hi amazing performance!!! Question from one pianist to another, but how long have you been playing? Also how do you remember notes what to play after just a short amount of time of sight reading?! It takes me so long to memorise the notes and get the muscle memory down 😅
I want to go to the concert (I live in Heidelberg, so like 2 hours with regional train) but sadly I will travel in 2 weeks so I cant watch it. wish you the best of luck
From the intimate storyteller, dance and song inspired, folk music inspired, man who said that he could never play as loud as, over to the loud man himself. I'm not into his loud bravado and keystrokes per minute. Musically, his best piano work in my ears is in his "Années de pèlerinage" - years of pilgrimage - where the loud showman had become introspective and philosophical, as well as a musical storyteller.
Hi! Could you please suggest whether one should play with one hand or two hands the section on page 5 (poco a coco accelerando). Thank you- I have finished the rest of the piece, just struggling with this part.
damn what you did in 1 hour took me 3 weeks 😂😂😂 also for the octaves my technique is a bit different and i’m wondering if you have any thoughts on it! instead of the upward movement i let gravity make my wrist fall and then relax the wrist as soon as i hit the key so that the push back from the key pushes my hand back and that lets me move on to the next octave i found that this made things a lot easier and removed tension from the wrist and the arms! but haven’t tried the flicking technique you suggested 😮
You are an incredible pianist, and I am curious about how you started your conservatory while you were working in IT or online marketing, I want to know if I would be able to work something that provides me money and enter in the conservatory as you did. What ment to mean is how you devided your time between work and conservatory and how u went to the courses. I would be delighted if you would do a short or even a small video about it , that would help me a lot 😊.
Du hast gerade nd wirklich gesagt das dein Sight Reading schlecht ist… was ist denn dann meins🥲 Ich mein du kannst gefühlt vor Henle Rating 1-6 einfach alles vom Blatt spielen das ist sehr krass 😁
if your hands are big enough, you can switch 4-5 fingers when your 5 is tired. also if octaves work easily with 1-3, you can switch 3-4-5 when your tired. and by legend, rachmaninoff could use 1-2 for an octave, he could play it nonstop
I mean, they're octaves. It's always 1-5 or 1-4 depending on your hand size or technique. It's self explanatory, even the left hand or the arpeggios afterwards
At 4:34 you explain what you like about the pieces. I always think maybe you as a professional classical concert pianist who studied for decades every day for hours you might have come across this piece before.
Hi I think your video’s editing quality improved too much but maybe reduce some of the visuals that’s too out of place like on 1:59 Some of the visuals yes, may adds more colors to your videos but too much is annoying. I like the simple old ending style better which fits the theme of the video more. Anyways this is just my opinion I’ve always appreciated your works so don’t take it too seriously! Thanks
The pneumatic hammer wasn't invented yet but Liszt wanted to create that sound already. Jokes aside please comment about how does this feel compared to Chopin's octaves etude ???
Well obviously you have to look at your hands from time to time but just don’t completely look down, maybe just glance down with your eyes but still attempt to “memorize” the piano itself
