Would you consider making a video on learning noctuelles? I think it’s such an underrated and amazing piece and I’m currently working through it, would love your ideas

@Itemtotem 8 күн бұрын

I greatly appreciate the tension and beauty of the middle voices you've revealed and elevated and your largely pedal-less rendition is rivaled only by your exceptional interpretation. Honestly some of the best performance of piano music I have ever heard.

Wow that's a very kind comment. Thanks! It's a long time ago so I can't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure I used quite a lot of pedal. I think the room and microphone might have "dried" the pedal somewhat.

There are zillions of piano instructional videos on YT, but this series is the first I´ve encountered that deals practically with the neuroscience of piano playing. Wonderful tips and advice. To add some ideas, I´ve sometimes practiced things like playing Bach pieces using a totally different rhythm (IE:, force a prelude or fugue with a tango or bossanova rhythm), switching accentuations or groupings of notes, ornamenting some notes on the spot. Also get to know what my "walls" are and always repeat a passage a little beyond that trouble spot, to develop continuity. For some reason , consciously speeding or slowing one hand in respect to other or making simultaneous attacks slightly out of sync, tends to help in untangling some coordination problems for me. Thanks for sharing this wonderful tips!.

@pianomosaic 17 күн бұрын

Hey thanks! That's an interesting idea. It'll certainly practice those rhythms and the piece at the same time. Probably sounds quite funny too ;) It makes sense that those speed alterations or asynchronicity would help. It's all about control and conscious action rather than just relying on habit through repetition. But it's really hard to alter the speed of just one hand. Can sound very good when the RH plays with rubato over a LH accompaniment.

Very insightful lesson. Though i may not be able to play at this level, the principle behind this approach is applicable in practicing pieces in general, such as creating little exercise out of passages little by little, transposing in different key, making variations of every exercise, leaving out thumb on practicing transitions, etc. Thank you!

Fascinating. I've often speculated on what the one-hand thirds in (for example) the last movement of the Brahms B Flat PC would look and sound like in slo-mo. It's one thing to play four octaves of thirds with both hands at 110 bpm, but quite another to do the same thing in one hand!

I'm considering it. Tutorials take some time and there are few other vids that have been waiting to be published for ages already. I can tell you now already the hardest parts are the ending and the first 1-2 pages. Odds are you knew that already. But even further along in preparation they still take up the majority of practice time. Some alternative fingerings can really help make it more playble too.

Thanks! It seems to my surprise that quite a few people who aren't necessarily trying to learn the piece still like watching such videos. I'd say it's not too late. But that very much depends on how much time you have to put into it and how far you want to get with it. You'd also have to be willing to spend a lot of time learning many other things that you might not be interested in first. And even if you do everything possible, you might still not be satisfied with the result if you're a very self-critical / perfectionist type.

Just a warning on fingering when I first learned this it was with the sliding thumb on white keys. This is not the best fingering which uses slides from black keys - it is a pain to relearn the better fingering when you're 70 plus!

@pianomosaic 6 ай бұрын

Which fingering uses sliding of the thumb on white keys? Do you mean sliding from one white key to the next with the thumb? Yeah changing fingering can be nasty. I noticed sometimes an old fingering comes back to haunt me out of nowhere while performing. Old habits die very hard.

You're welcome. But you should know that now after 6 years of use I've noticed a recurring problem with this instrument if you play it a lot: The sensors tend to start wearing out somehow (causing first only one note to measure the wrong speed so it plays far too loud for example) and then one has to replace them. It's a hassle taking it to be repaired. So if you play a lot (as in hours per day), unless they've addressed that issue, keep in mind that you might need to take it in for repair once in a while. And after the warranty runs out it becomes quite costly too. Besides that I still really like it though.
