5 Simple Steps to Master 2 x 3 Polyrhythms | Debussy Arabesque No. 1

[@amydecicco8374]

3 against 2 in Arabesque No. 1 was driving me nuts, I just couldn't do it. This tutorial is extremely helpful, thank you so much, i think I've got it now!!

[@vovoyaya9099]

Great lesson, really appreciated the discovery of your channel, I have learned so much from the valuable knowledges you so generously imparted

[@yupitzmeeee]

Wow, I found the perfect video for the job! Thank you! Everyone: wow, he is playing so nicely Me: (nice cup of tea)

[@thepianocornertpc]

I am very happy to see your channel is growing steadily. You're hands down a real Master Teacher and formidable pianist.

[@RolandHuettmann]

A warning..😁 ) It took me months to master polyrhythms. Trust Denis to give a shortcut. And I enjoyed Arabesque 1 -- I like it as the best piano piece from Debussy so far.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

I don’t think he’s going to write any more.

[@cabosanlucasboi7882]

so far? 💀

[@TreasaLynch]

I really appreciate this tutorial. Not that I am ready to look at this Debussy but I have struggled with polyrhythms and this will help.

[@maultooga]

A little vulgar but for 4v3 I learned "Pass the god-damn butter". Nice vid!

[@suryahitam3588]

I was going to ask about a phrase for 3 against 4, but you've already supplied the answer. Thanks!

[@thomasmiranda3800]

Thank you Maestro for beautifully explaining the poly rhythm

[@milanbhattarai7039]

Great 👍 you have great teaching idea. Super 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@guilhemmollon255]

Thanks! This is something I managed to do recently, and i like the way you explain it. I'd love to see the same kind of video for the 3 vs 4, which remains a complete mistery to me.

[@nancyharris7020]

Masterful pedagogy! I finally got it. It’s been a struggle this year. You broke it down perfectly for me. Stopped the video several times each step to practice for a few minutes, then moved on to add the next step. Thank you so much maestro. Would like to discuss studying with you at some point.

[@helinafedorchuk2286]

This is just a fantastic approach! Woohoo!!! I`ve been racking my brains over this problem for 3 years, trying out so many tricks of my own, and none of them worked. Thank you so much, Denis!

[@oliver-04]

Great video dude! Well done

[@zorikazan3796]

This is perfect I love it thank you

[@chris6291]

great method, thanks!

[@MrJMatch]

Thank you! This also helps with the short 2 x 3 bit toward the end of Chopin's Prelude in E minor, a tricky part.

[@jordanbarnes1720]

I really like this method! Can you suggest a similar exercise for 4 against 3 (e.g. Fantasie Impromptu)?

[@anjinsanx44]

Very nice ....thank you

Support pianists🎹❤️

[@luky46]

Thank you so so so much. Your explanation has been great.

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rwbyswrld9993]

thanks for the help

[@tappyoklahoma]

dude... great advice --- also, if you mix some bass outta your voice and turn it down a bit relative to the piano - maybe just move the mic further away from your mouth.. its acerbically bass-y, rumbly -- would make this video way easier to enjoy

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Thanks for the tips! I usually listen out the content in flat reference earphones, so it has never bothered me in this regard, but I know it can feel very different in some other bass-oriented models.

[@m.walther6434]

Great, this will help me with Scarlatti K 466

[@alzhang74]

so you stump the feet on "nice" each time, right? thanks!

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Yes!

[@woopiwoo1]

this was helpful

[@aevanelstprojects8926]

Great tip! That's gonna be tea the next days!

[@cosibuster9738]

Great lesson. Could you please do lessons of 3 against 4 and even 3 against 5 as in L’Isle Joyeuse? Thank you for all your great videos!

[@funklover24]

Also interesting for Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu.

[@shimuelo1269]

Your channel is amazing dude, i was just playing 1 note every 2 notes i did in the rh and now i understand what i actually need to do, awesome!

[@giulianolaumesmarques7102]

The best video about polyrhthms in KZbin. Congratulations!!

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Thank you!🥳

[@peacetouch]

감사합니다.

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Thank you for your support!😊

[@Oliverfeeser]

Thank you so much

[@funklover24]

Helpful video. German version could be "Kalbsleberwurst". When I practice such figures, sometimes I exchange the hands. A bit difficult, but afterwards the normal version is very easy. Now I'm going to have a nice cup of tea. 😂

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Kalbsleberwurst! Why I want to start killing when I say that many times in a row?.. 😂

[@funklover24]

@@DenZhdanovPianist I learnt this from a student. But the cup of tea ist a nicer association. 😉

[@asirus]

I wrote a song that has exactly this rhythm in one section where I keep losing my timing 😩, I think this exercise will help me finally consolidate those neuromotor connections! 🧠 Thank you! 🙌🏾
