Sony A6100, with a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 lens. I also use a Tiffen Black Pro Mist 1/8 filter to make the lights “bloom” a bit. For the piano cam, its just the iPhone 11 pro’s ultrawide camera

When it comes to exercises, I like Chopin. In Eigeldinger’s book (in the description) There’s a few exercises Chopin wrote that I’ve pretty much practiced exclusively. It’s 2 pages and covers most of piano technique

Liszt and Chopin had large hands. Just saying
@pianopookieАй бұрын
I can only reach a 10th (9th uncomfortably before I started stretches). Liszt could allegedly reach a 13th. Chopin’s reach was most likely smaller than Liszt’s. Hope that helps.

Liszt was 185 cm and he had hands proporcionated to his body. Chopin sas shorter than him, 170 cm, and he had smaller hand, but just about 1 or 2 cm.

@@Andrea_Suriano Well, there is a cast of Liszt's hands, ans it's allegedly avarege, but he had big little finger
@krzysztofkrawczyk6320Ай бұрын
While Liszt's hands were indeed huge, Chopin had pretty average sized hands. There is a replica of his right palm so that everyone can see for himself. Training can get you from comfortable octave to comfortable 10th, and that will be enough for most of the classic repertoire. If an octave is really stretchy and you are an adult, piano is probably not the best instrument of which to become a virtuso. But the majority of people can handle an octave and with trainings it only gets better.

@pianopookieАй бұрын
I don’t have much experience taking piano lessons tbh, so I might not be the best person to ask. There’s alot to consider. Most pianists will say get a teacher, and that’s probably right for most ppl. I’d say try it out, try to find a good teacher, and if you’re happy with the results, then stick with it. Josh Wright (on KZbin) has some good advice for finding a good piano teacher. For me, I wanted to understand the specific technique of Chopin, so I HAD to do the research and learning by myself. Now I’m just sharing my findings. Also it’s never too late to learn piano. I also started taking piano seriously at 19 (7 years ago). Hope that helps.

@pianopookieАй бұрын

@pianopookieАй бұрын
A note on my performance: I only practiced octaves for 10 to 20 hours (at MOST 30), from learning the new technique to the performance in the video. I mostly practiced on one note, scales and leaps, and very little on the actual passage. I’ll make an update video in the future (6 months, 1 year?) to show my progress on octave playing. Also, if you wanna read my highlights from Auguste Boissier’s journal (aka stuff that didn’t make it into the video w/ each quote in the original French + translated English), you can check it out on this Notion page here: changeable-galleon-a5b.notion.site/Liszt-P-dagogue-by-Auguste-Boissier-1178f8ed609380da93bdcb7e5163d24d

Unfortunate that your hr6 snippet was so slow. I'm sure with a week of practice you can play way faster without tensing up, the end goal being to play as comfortably as Alexei Grynyuk's hr6
