Would have add Op.3 No.2, highly recommend to so this as first rach prelude.

Thank you. Your instruction is very clear and practically. Please teach more Chopin etude.

I know its been a year and you pribably wont answer but, how do I stop cold hands? Even if i warm them after a second ghey are alresdy cold again, and my mind is thinking that i can do great but my hands dont cooperate 😅

This is gold!!!

Why do you leave out 2-1 fingering?

Beautiful playing and that's a wonderfully powerful and clear piano tone. Thanks for the lesson maestro.

Thank you for sharing. This is not only for concert pianist but for listener like myself as well. I always wonder what is happening between the pianist and the conductor.

Love it!

Vielen lieben Dank ❤

Thanks for your interesting video about Marie Jael. Yes I have 7 books from MJ (i am a collector of books on pianotechnique😄). Fascinating the collection of fingerprints she made of the touch, of bad and good touch according to her, and she gives many unusual finger exercises. Some books are rather metaphysical in my opinion, f.e. her book “la colorisation des sensations tactiles”. Was she inspired by Theosofy? But a recommended read for all pianist who want to experiment, expand their knowledge and improve. Do you also know the Institut de Pédagogie Musicale Raymond Thiberge in Paris? Thiberge had very interesting thoughts about pianotechnique, and developped a ingenious way to teach the reading of notes, rhythm, finding the notes on the piano etc. so that it becomes very fast and intuitive. I followed a course there in pédagogie musicale. Absolutely amazing results. It makes you read 4 notes per beat M50 and even faster if you desire it.

Great exercise and thanks for the advice to keep your elbows in place. Correct me if I’m wrong, I noticed that the fingers have to play exactly in the direction of the key, they must neither tend to pull backwards nor forwards even in the slightest degree, otherwise you lose stability and end in a tug of war. Thanks in advance for your answer! Compliments for your playing, what perfect control, beautiful sound and expression!

The video should have been titled, "How to become a part-time concert pianist?" Once you throw teaching into the mix, you are going to have far less time and mental energy to perform piano.

You know, it's so interesting that you bring up the story about Pogorelich and Argerich, because while it illustrates your point, it also shows how competitions have apparently changed over the years. Argerich herself is anything but a "safe" pianist, yet she won the Chopin Competition in 1965. From listening to her playing from the competition, I'm not sure how it would be received currently. Probably too daring and risky, which is really a shame. It does get tedious listening to the same polished, note-perfect renditions over and over again. They're certainly artistically competent, but a lot of individuality is missing, at least imho. Do you think the pianists are capable of much more artistic variety, and just temper their interpretations to suit the judges, or are the pianists who naturally tend toward that kind of interpretation the ones who naturally excel in competitions? Artistic development is a complicated thing though, so maybe that's an impossible question to answer.

Magnifico.

I live in Indonesia, I am 15 years old and I learned the 1mvt of the Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto completely on my own. Thats just a dream come true for me. My teacher cant tell much my parents even less no one is here to help me with performing or learning even further.

Thank you so much for great recommendations.I just wanted to know your opinion about anna magdalena for beginners?

super technique, but the lead motives were often lost in the hurry,,,hear these songs being sung in solo and then you will understand,

Wow, I felt like such a fraud for marking fingerings, weirdly spelled chords and notes with like, 6 ledger lines. Thanks for the ideas of other things I can also mark. I especially like the “big E” idea. I need to remember to release, especially if I’m playing in a pit in a theater production and I don’t have as much experience with the book or in that particular ensemble as I’d like. Any, off to mark up some more scores! Thanks a bunch

Thank youuuu this helped a LOT. I didn’t know how to play more relaxed with my hand and my whole body was too tense and now it feels so much easier to play. Thx :)

Danae, thank you so much for the time you took to create these videos in order to share your piano knowledge & musical experiences. I have been learning from your channel since late 2022 and it has had a profound impact on my daily piano practice routine. Your technical mastery and your efforts to share what you have learned are ever-inspiring, and I would love to attend one of your performances, or maybe even the Molyvos Festival, someday. Sincerely, Baltimore Krahn

🙏💙💜

🙏WOW🙏💙💜

Great teaching...pls kindly show us a visual view of ur playing.we can see the notes to learn,also be slow

I really resent my parents for not allowing me to go to music college after I finished secondary school, because it wrecked any chance I had to really immerse myself around other musicians and to do what I wanted to do. I'm a 'hobbyist' but very resentfully because I haven't been in an environment I wanted to be in so badly. They don't know this. It will go with me to my grave. 😢

Not sure you realize ....the exposure.

Just discovered your Chopin Etudes videos, they are so great and helpful! Could you do ones on no.11 and no.12 of op.25 please?

8:30

Looks really easy. I'm gonna try it. Thanks!

At Martha ARGERICH: I honestly CANNOT believe that you didn't include a sample to illustrate your point. Instead you've opted to 'send' us listening in search of your point.......No Offence Intended!

Excellent video. My personal challenge is to play thirds, very, very quickly. The thirds in the last movement of Brahms B flat piano concerto, for example. Very challenging, and few pianists, it seems to me, actually play them as written!

Great video, I'm not a pianist but I find it very useful!

Great for the young musician unfortunately as you age you realise life is to short and time is so valuable I think you could double the time and still have great benefits from this very good idea

Great video with a lot of useful points and proper demonstration is also very nice.👍

Thank you very much for these valuable tips for practicing the Etudes! I believe I can practice more effectively now and play the Etude beautifully. I wish you were closer to me so you could be my teacher?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi there! I just subscribed to your channel, thank you so much for making these kinds of videos available to everyone. Any chance you can do a tutorial on Chopin's etude op 25 no 5 etude like in previous ones?

Thank you. Helps me a lot

Good stuff. But again... YOUR exercises?

And... You do know about the origins of these exercises, right???

Why using the wrist or even underarm instead of training your thumb to actually move?

I love you baby ❤

Wonderful video.

These are really effective tips, but when I think of doing this across the whole Chopin etude it becomes so overwhelming in my mind

Understanding between musician have only one mother,her name is creativity of the your second U😎

Amei, obrigado ❤❤❤

This is awesome! (And in return, I now will come over and tune your piano for free, when I'm in town. :)

At the end of the piece, how should we use the pedal? No pedal?

Me encanta el control y el sonido que mantiene al hacer las octavas,🩷 ¡super!

This is cool! I am going to try. Thank you!
