Awesom specially when using YT Speed Controller at 0,98118

you're correct. Do it more often, and practice practice practice.

Amazing teacher!!!

You're such an amazing teacher!!!!! 😍😍❤❤ Love this tutorial so much!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Steeeeeeeevvvvve!!!!!!

It's Raining Gnomes! Halleluyah! I learned this at fourteen, O My did I need you then! I love your logic and clarity!My playing of this, decades ago, sounded like Gnomes falling downstairs !

hi steve may we request liebestraum by liszt. thank you

hi steve, may we request liebestraum by liszt, thank you

I've noticed o'er the years, many musicians really play (in part) by ear; as in @1:48 where it's audible Steve is singing the motif. Often, I find I'm doing that unconsciously as well, on gigs!

Does it have voice parts

Thanks. I'm going to give you an unsolicited opinion. I'm sorry to be so rude: put some carpets with padding under your pianos.

Thank you Steve, it seems every person / artist has their own way to learn / practice a new piece.

Thanks so much, Steve - this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! You are, quite frankly, THE MAN!

0:15 efficiency in recognizing notes is essential in playing an instrument

Thanks Steve for giving us a look into your process. A couple of things jumped out at me right away that I have to key on. Start slowly to play accurately in short bites. That was just one thing. I'm working on Chopin G-Minor Ballade and the coda is killing me. These tips should really help. Thanks!

I highly recommend listening to Sinfonia No. 11 in G minor, performed by the Swingle Singers. Exquisite!

You're correct about 4 and 5 being the weakest fingers, but I have no problem whatsoever executing the mordent in bar 5 using 4 and 5. It just comes so naturally and, I might add, effortlessly.

How are things year on????

Hey Steven, amazing interpretation! Easily one of the best I've heard. Too bad there is too much of echo where you're playing. Do you think you could re-record your interpretation somewhere else with better recording quality? Would mean a lot to me/us! Thank you!

this is such an amazing resource for this piece and technique in general!

I really like this tutorial; lots of nuance and fingering information.

The cadenza sounds so good here, please do more!

You have a good beard

How are you pronouncing his name? It’s so weird hearing it that way

Thank you. Hope to follow your lessons.

why is it important not to lose connection of 1-2-3?) you can play all the beginning as an improvisation

I need advice. I have issue with getting these polyrhytms to play evenly. When I play hands separate, everything is perfect. But when I start playing with both hands, rhytm in left hands gets deformed. I hold 1st note of every triplet for a bit longer and play 2nd and 3rd a bit faster. So instead of this (first line): X X X X X X X X - left hand plays something like this (second line). I practice each hand separately, doing pulse things you were doing in video, alternate hands, practice like this for 20-30 minutes..even with metronome. Then put hands together and my left hand rhytm is deformed again. Any advice?

I believe the secret of playing Bach is the sensitive treatment of dissonance. It seems you are leaning in that direction without actually saying so. It's great to hear a pianist getting away from the prevalent and awful "sublime sewing machine" conception of Bach playing. Bach is a very lyrical composer, in many voices simultaneously. And the bass is not always staccato....

Thank for the great video I supposed erroneously to play this music always staccato. This is a revelation.

Steven, I’ve missed you. I got my certification so I can get back to practicing piano. How’v you been?

this was very useful,thank you and well done!

Can you do pletnev’s arrangement of pas de deux🙏🙏💕

the dog in the background❤!! So cute, thanks for the video!!

thank you finally a tutorial I Understand!!

Veramente BRAVISSIMO

I like your Canadian accent as in English you do not seem to have any ;-)

Thank you Steven … your emphasis on feeling weights and arm movements help.

Here I am again. Awsom to know! But could you also « teach » me how to open and play with my I-pad with sheet music on it put directly on the piano? Tnx and kind regards, Dona (from Belgium)

Hello Steven, this is great. I adore playing the piano, but not used to computer… don’t you have to pay IMSLP for membership then? Can you suscribe for sheet music for free? Tnx for your reply. Dona (from Belgium)

Very insightful lesson, thank you

10:36 marc andre-hamelin calls it symmetrical inversion

Thanks!

I'm never bene more glad to watch this video cuz I can play all of it kind of pedaling once per measure but this is gonna really take me all the way

Thank You very much!!!❤❤❤

It reminded me of Beethoven’s fifth a bit.

hi! great! check out Duane Hulbert's version too. Here;s my Schubert final years pastiche: kzbin.info/aero/PLYUhuuvIrJm0Z7vc1Olxvs1cOLMfuSo4I

Thanks for that clarification man! When I played Waldstein and Debussy Feux d'Artifice last year I had good and effortless technique, but since that I managed to fall on the wrong track techniquely, injuring my wrists because I used too much weight, playing all the way to the bottom (even past) like you did at the end there, etc. I guess it's all about "aiming at the point of sound" and not hit the keys in a way that it hits you back in a bad way, as the Taubman approach talks about.

Edited versions: Schnabel, Arrau, Goldenweizer, Martinsson. Several EMB (particularly Bartok) and also Liszt (not that Japan Zen-on) is very good too. You could see Liszt pedalling in Bowsworth edition.

Very, very nice! Such a beautiful piece. I used to play this 20 years ago and I'm coming back to it now. You offer such wonderful and pithy commentary. I enjoyed every moment. Your love of these pieces clearly shines through. It's just what i needed coming back to this. Thank You Steven.

not very helpful - the advice given is basically "relax your hand", we already knew that... that's like giving advice "just practice" or "just get good" 😀usually people give tips on _how_ to practice a thing efficiently, how to decompose the practiced thing into smaller parts that are easier to execute, etc... on the topic of long jumps other educators advice: practice thumb-pinky jumps first (shorter distance, mentally), then just thumbs or just pinkies first before doing the entire octave-octave, or octave-chord with full hand. another tip i heared is spring of the low octave as fast as possible to give you more "travel time" before you have to hit the upper octave or chord. and lastly, and unhelpfullly, prepare to burn possibly many hours or weeks on this.
