[TUTORIAL]F. Chopin - Etude C-minor Op.10 no.12 REVOLUTIONARY - "How to practice?" - Greg Niemczuk. 

The best video of this Etude

Thank you! As usual, your tutorials are a treasure for all who play those pieces. I really apreciate the valuable work you do for us!

I can also play the Revolutionary Etude. However, I can't play this composition accurately and perfectly.

Wow, such an incredible Video, thanks for your thoughts on this amazing Piece. I always thought it was a missed opportunity that this isent the polish national anthem.

I had done this piece years ago when I was very young but I stopped playing for a long time after that. Recent I have started practicing all my old pieces again and this is one of them. Your tutorial is so helpful to me. Thank you so much. If you were living here in the US, I would moved heaven and earth to take some lessons from you.

Hi Greg, I am revisiting this etude after years away to raise kids and teach. Your video has given me a fresh vision of how I will play this at this later point in my life. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your practice techniques. You’ve given me some new ideas on how to approach this since I know it already. I’m so excited to rework this piece with the soul of a Nocturne. ❤

does anyone else have like tightness in their left arm when they play this? im having some trouble with it and i just dont know how to fix it even after practising with this tutorial 😭

It was my first Chopin etude, almost 10 more years ago... and now I'm on a journey to master all Chopin etude. It's really helpful, thanks.

Very interesting. My teacher wants me to study this etude to practise my left hand. I have already studied berceuse but this etude seems to me more difficult to play than berceuse. My teachers told me the contrary , in her opinion berceuse is difficult a little bit more. I hope she is right!

I love how you keep teaching engaging. Makes me really happy to see such enthusiasm. 😊😊

Greg, would you say that the tips you were telling us for the Revolutionary étude, learning LH alone (hands apart), memorized and up to tempo before hands together…do you think that applies to 10/3 and 10/4 as well? Thank you!

I'm an organist trying to understand piano thought...do you practice scales in the same way in groups??? Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Greg! I hope everything is fine after Norway's tour. Happy to see you back on RU-vid. Greetings!

Brilliant! Thanks Greg for such a detailed strategy. Taking notes. I first played this a couple of years ago, it was my first Etude and couldn't get it. I'm going to rework it using your suggestions methodically. Thank you for your generosity. ⭐⭐⭐

One of the best lessons i have seen. Thank you so much

I think practicing ONLY the left hand in your session can be frustrating. I think the one needs to mix in something like 1/2 proportion. 20 mins left hand, 10 mins right, repeat. Very good tutorial in general though.

Thank you so much sir!🙏🏻🌸

Could you write here what edition has your fingering indicated in it? Is there one?

This is a very good tutorial. I see two minutes a day, and just practice all the good exercises.

Thank you so much Greg for your valuable time and energy in creating this tutorial. There were some wonderful moments and quotes from you throughout, including when you played mechanically and said “It’s not music, It’s not Chopin. It’s simply ugly!”. I started to play this piece a very long time ago and gave up as I couldn’t get close to the speed nor did I manage to get past the first page. I was never taught how to tackle this piece, however I am going to approach this piece again as you have suggested by first mastering the left hand and memorising it, which I know will be a challenge for me personally. Thank you once again.

Great video! This is helping immensely! I've been playing for a long while, but I plateaued years ago, coupled with life events that didn't allow me to practice for years, as well as some teachers whose behavior towards me made me not want to pursue my music degree. And it's only recently that I found my childhood passion for music again. I recently finished Chopin's op 64 no 2 in C# minor. And it feels great to finish a piece after such a long time. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing! I see some hope now, in learning to play this wonderful epic Chopin piece. You're an awesome teacher ! : )

Do you suggest to do the grouping excercise with metronome?

This is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Panie Grzegorzu. Z racji tego, że jest pan doświadczonym i wybitnym pianistą, chciałbym podsunąć pomysł na nowy film. Myślę, że bardzo dużo osób chciałoby zobaczyć porady dotyczące nauki dowolnego utworu. Chodzi mi o poradnik gdzie pokaże pan swoje sposoby jak nauczyć się utworu od zera, w jak najszybszy sposób (nie chodzi o konkretny utwór). Swoją drogą ten film jest bardzo ciekawy i pomocny, pozdrawiam :)

God bless you mr niemkzuc I found your page just few days ago but I've learnt so many things from you already thank you very much❤️

Wow, what a great tutorial about this beautiful etude. 🤩 Thank you very much Greg! 🙏 I am going to rewatch this video many times 👍.

Thank you so much for your tips on this etude. 🎵

Thank you so much. ❤

thanks, I'm trying to study this beautiful piece...

I look forward to the lesson the Ocean Etude Op 25, No 12? Thank you for all you do.

Thank you so much for your help in trying to play this marvelous etude. It is Sooooo Nice of you to take time explaining ! Thank you🙏🙏🙏

Truly a magnificent teaching! Thank you so much.

useful!!!!!!

Can't wait for Op25. Thank you, Greg!!!

Bardzo uzyteczny instruktaż !!! Mialbym pare zapytań: - Jak ma sie rzeczywistosc do podanego tempa - 160/cwiercnute ?? osobiscie maltretowalem etiudke pare razy w zyciu, 130 sama lewa dla mnie to juz slizgawka :D - Podaje Pan rozne propozycje cwiczenia. Chcac rzetelnie przecwiczyc po fragmenciuku zajmie to duzo czasu. Wiec ile powtorzen danym sposobem fragmentu spelnia juz zadanie ? 5, 12, .. 30 ?? ile czasu dziennie optymalnie cwiczy sie taka etiude ? Dzieki i pozdrawiam

więc jest nadzieja!! To jednak jest dla ludzi i można to ćwiczyć?! A ja myślałam, że to tylko kosmici mogą grać, bo przecież to wykracza poza zdolności zwykłych śmiertelników... to tempo....... Zaczęłam grać tą etiudę jakiś tydzień temu. Znaczy tak wewnętrzne, w marzeniach to grałam ją juž dużo wcześniej, ale nigdy wcześniej nie przypuszczałam że się w końcu odważę i naprawdę usiądę do tego utworu, że zacznę. I stało się. No i zaraz to "czy kiedykolwiek zbliżę się chociaż na odległość wzroku do tego jakie to powinno być..?🥴". I obejrzałam ten film.. zatem jest nadzieja!!! Jest pomysł co z tym robić, jest nadzieja!!! Nie taka bardzo bliska, no nie bedzie to na wyciagniecie ręki. Ale jednak!! 😀😀😀😌

FANTASTIC! THE BEST EXPLANATION OF PIANO TECHNIQUE ON RU-vid I'VE EVER SEEN THANK YOU!!!

Your teaching is very good, you explained it very clearly. I could now able to learn it more confidently. I wish you all the best in 2024.

Very interesting. It is very encouraging, inspiring even, to see how hard you work on your pieces. Are there any specific Hanon exercises you would suggest, and do you stick to the same fingering in C♯ for those exercises? BTW is F♯ an alternative Hanon key to C♯ (as there is more variety of stretches between black and white notes), or is it just unnecessarily awkward?

Me parece una forma de estudiar profunda. Asi quedará precioso. Soy pianista jubilado y estoy enseñando éste estudio a mi nieto. Felicidades por cómo lo haces. Desde ahora mismo vamos a estudiar con tu video. Gracias muchísimas gracias.

Wowww super help. for next video, can you please focus the so we can see wich finger you play every note with? Thanks!

Groups that you train separately. Is it good to change these groups? I mean other tones in the group. Another three or another four tones?

happy to see you back, was missing you alot ^_^. I love short practice units alot as well. But most of the students DO NOT do it, so sad -_-

Great useful info - thanks

congratulations on closing your so generous project for all the hobby pianists over the world! thank you thousand and million times for this magnificent contribution! lovely greetings from berlin

Takie pytanie. Takt 25, lewa ręka, pierwsza czwórka - zaskoczyło mnie całkiem (żeby nie powiedzieć że wręcz zszokowało), że tam na drugiej nucie B ma być niejako 3ci palec! I patrzę w nuty, kurczę, tam też napisane 3 pod tym B. W życiu bym na to nie wpadła. Czy mogę to B (druga nuta z czwórki )zagrać po prostu 1szym? Wydaje się to być wtedy proste i intuicyjne. Potem dalej jak leci, mogą być te palce które tam zasugerowane lub już cały czas 3ci, który może się tego klawisza trzymać. Ale czemu miało by służyć takie skomplikowanie i wykręcanie, że po piątym palcu na pierwszej nucie gramy 3cim kiedy 1szy jest pod ręką i dalej wszystko pasuje. ? Zastanawia mnie to bardzo 🤔🤔🤔🤔

ありがとうございます。感謝です。❤❤❤

Świetne wytłumaczenie, bardzo mi pomogło ponieważ właśnie zaczynam uczyć się tej etiudy 🙏🎹

A valuable tutorial Greg. Your comments remind me much of my teacher. It’s so important to practice in the patterns. This Etude must be played precise. There’s no room for stodginess. May I request some information as to how your recommend to pedal this Etude? It is often over pedaled and blurry.

W poniedziałek gram to na dyplomie bo to jedna z niewielu które sie da na szybko ogarnac ;D

Thank you so much, sir. This is very helpful!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️

Лайк не глядя!

After how many years of learning do you recommend to start with this etude?

This is the best Revolutionary tutorial that has ever been created..... Thx so much.
