0:24 I love how you pronounce "list" as "liszt", you seem to be a big fan ;)

[@radamik]

Just realized that! But I never knew how to say that composer’s name. For decades I’ve said “list.” Now if only I could find out how to pronounce “scherzo” and “Scriabin” (!!!!).

[@pianoforte17xx48]

Thank you for these excellent tips. You're right that they also apply to other instruments. "Use a metronome" haha! (Thank God it wasn't set at presto.)

[@EvgenyGenchev]

Hahaha I did try to boost my talking speed but could only do as much 😜

This video is excellent, it brings so much advice! 💯 You have thought of everything! 💯 I am very thankful, Evgeny! ❤

Haha I tried to keep it to the point in this one 😜

[@silkepianist]

I loved this vídeo !

[@brianbuch1]

I'm old enough to remember when Hindemith and Schoenberg were considered "contemporary" music. They're now as much in the past as Brahms was when I was born. Do you have suggestions for current compositions playable at the intermediate level?

Hi great video, just a bit of citicism: you don't need to ask for subscribers for youtube and patreon at both the start and the end of the video. It's a tad too much. Just do it at the end.

Not everyone watches till the end. Happy you enjoyed the video in its entirety 😊
