Rachmaninoff's C-sharp Minor was so popular in his lifetime that audiences routinely demanded the composer play it as an encore. While its opening three notes and mysterious ensuring chords have achieved iconic status, the drama of the work depends on the Agitato middle section.
Join international virtuoso Claire Huangci as she tackles the tricky triplet figures in the middle section from a technical perspective, offering detailed insights on gaining facility and building speed.

Really excellent, straightforward thorough explanation. I'm a Piano teacher in Brazil and a couple of students of mine are currently learning this piece and those hints are priceless. The one about the big leap C to upper B on left hand to control urge to do it on Tempo was perfect!

Fantastic practical tips in such a short clip! She is such a great communicator and sympathetic teacher. I treasure a lot of Claire's Scarlatti Cds and I've just watched her fabulous performance of Bach Chaconne in D minor - its one of the very best versions I've seen.

As Claudio Arrau said, any tension before the finger tip severs the connection between the music and the soul, and the wrist is often the culprit. I myself find that focusing specifically on a literal “hung” sensation in my wrist opens the sound.

I wish I had seen the trick with letting the left hand tackle that lower F#. Muscle memory with me makes this tough to change. I still struggle with the muscles in my right forearm getting sore when practicing this and despite everyone saying "loosen up", I still get tired. The last thing I'll say is that if you look at the music, you can see that the first note of each triplet (the melody) really should be accentuated as she says and held longer than the second two notes. My trick for accomplishing this is to, in a way, hum along with the melody as I play it. Somehow that helps me translate the proper hold times on my fingers. I was introduced to this piece as a kid with Sparky's Magic Piano and I think that's the reason I always wanted to play the piano - and this piece!

You should listen to Rachmaninoff play his piece himself-it is a speed contest.

@petertarsio7168 Год назад

Its not all about weak fingers but the distribution of weight with a supple wrist and the involvement of the upper arm and shoulders. Play slower and practice with absolute concentration.

@vova47 3 года назад

She may be a good musician but she does too many external body movements that have nothing to do with actual piano sound. And why is she using the music for the piece that she supposed to be REALLY familiar with to be able to teach. Just wondering.....

@pjbpiano 3 года назад

I don't get why her using a score should be a problem first of all? External movements. Why don't you just let people be?

@ppmartorella1 3 года назад

I strongly believe that there is nothing wrong with using the score especially for reference purposes.

@Facconti 2 года назад

If you are teaching you should in fact have the score. It is necessary for referencing specific bars, indications, edition differences, whatever. And there is actually nothing bad in using the score in any other setting either; memorizing pieces (or rather performing without score) was one of Liszt's circus tricks that then everybody copied and became standard in piano performance. I think we've had enough of it and should let pianists play the way the feel most comfortable.
