The rhythm, cadence, and timing of this piece are what defines the good player from the exceptional player, especially in the ending. You played the ending beautifully.

[@fionanogawa1730]

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and expertise - the combination of beautiful playing, and ideas on technique and interpretation are inspiring. Thank you!

This is what it’s all about! I appreciate your comment, many thanks!

@@Antune I have my grandmother's 1940 Baldwin baby grand and this piece is so special to me as my Uncle was trained at the Eastman school of music in Rochester NY and he would play it as I played under the piano as a small boy. It's a little above my level, but with your video, I realize I can learn it. I was thrilled to find your channel.

[@Antune]

Such a beautiful memory! I hope this video could be helpful to learn this piece. Good luck and all the best!

Wow! You explain it so well... I've been listening to Bach for some time and decided to see how this piece is played. What can I say, I am really surprised, and grateful for chooing your video to watch. Even though I can't play on piano, yet it was nice to understand some part of that beauty)

[@marianszetyinszki9963]

What inspiring interpretation, very precise and heart touching. I take it as a call to learn this beautiful piece despite being a bit challenging at my level yet. Thanks for the detailed notes on sound, tempo, and articulation. If I just can have question or a piece of advice on the coda pedalisation, mainly on the last long trill, there is so much going on : when to use the pedal not to overkill all the harmonies that sound at the same time? You mentioned pedalisation at the beginning, but coda seems to be so different, I expect a different pedal approach. Your sound is so clear without any loss of detail or noise, so I wonder how you achieved this with the sustain pedal?

[@Antune]

Thank you for your kind comment! For the pedaling in the coda, I change it with every eighth note-six times per measure, without exception, including bar 40. However, in bar 40, I release the pedal briefly right after playing the second and fourth sixteenth notes of each beat, keeping the pedal a bit shorter there. I hope this clarifies things. Best of luck!

[@Antune]

You are very welcome! Good luck 👍

[@biogons14]

Wonderful, it reminds me the BWV 721 choral i played in organ. I thought that this way of marking the parts in the accompaniment was due to the reduced capacity of percussed string instruments, such as the clavichord, with which they studied and composed at home. But after listening to the execution of the original violin in Marcello's work, which does not have this marked limitation, my doubts already arise.

[@blackneedle1]

i did my own fingering before looking at this you tube and found out they were almost identical. i m very happy. Can you do it slower in the different mordents

[@Antune]

Of course, you can play them slower if this is what you want!

[@blackneedle1]

@@Antune no, i mean in some of the mordents, i am not sure how you play them, i can't really see them.

[@theroses-amusicalvoyage8728]

Can you please do some guidelines for the rest of the movements of this concerto please. Regards from India

[@jeffscop]

Have you ever done some of the "Songs Without Words"? Specifically #32. I'm wondering how you would work on it.

[@lalimzr]

Thanks

[@chrrev1]

Great. My question is could you not achieve the same result without the pedal? I mean keep the chords sounding longer by not rejeasing as fast... ?

[@Antune]

Thanks! I am afraid it wouldn’t be the same result without the pedal because the way you attack the keys will be different. It’s not only about how long we hold the keys with our fingers but also how we press them. Nevertheless, it is an option if you like, of course.

[@marciareginasampaio]

Obrigada ❤

[@chungmunsj]

감사합니다.

Is most of Mendelssohn Songs Without Words Op.67 no.2 in F sharp Minor played without pedal?

My left wrist tire out so quickly. I try to focus on keeping relaxed but still. Any tips?

[@Antune]

Sounds unusual that your left hand gets tired, despite being considerably less busy than the right hand. Unfortunately, I can’t guess what the problem is without seeing you play. Still, I assume, you must keep it even relaxed. Good luck

[@MetaView7]

[@jackiehuffard2797]

Wonderful tutorial, how do I get the sheet music?, I ama subscriber.

[@Antune]

Thank you! Please check the description of the video. You will find the link to the sheet music. If you have trouble doing it, please send an email so you can receive the scores.

[@Pari_Intervallo]

Could someone explain something to me: in the 3rd section around the 12:00 mark, the sheet music shows the mordent to be above the G, yet the A is played. I have limited theory knowledge, but I thought that since the mordent is above the G then it should be G and F that is played repeatedly? I know he is playing it correctly, I'm just a bit confused about the sheet music.

[@frostd2528]

Could anyone tell me what grade this piece is viewed as ?

[@КириллВруцкий-в4ж]

@ The work of Adagio in D minor, composers Johann Sebastian Bach/Alessandro Marcello. Synthesizer - playing with a string orchestra. On the background of the Face of Jesus Christ is an author's drawing in an artistic style.

This is definitly the kind of guy I need for my private lesson, unlike my stressfull teacher who shout pretty often, Antune tone voice is almost like méditation, I am sure he has patience...🤔 AND HIS ACCENT IS SO SEXY !!! 😉

[@michelpetrus]

Regarding the content it’s awesome thank you. Just about camera management, am I the only one to whom it gives sea sickness. :) A fixed camera would greatly improve your tutorials.

[@Antune]

Hi Michel, thanks for the comment! It’s not only you who gets see sick feeling from my videos. Sorry to hear that! I’ve explained the reasons why I do this kind of videos before, so I’ll just copy-paste it here; “I have several reasons to keep the camera placement as it is. The first one is that I want to present the exact angle as I see my hands. I believe, the viewer must see the nature of the hand movement through my eyes because I think this is the easiest way to understand what I am showing and explaining. The second reason is that body movement has a huge impact on phrasing and timing in general. Those two things aren’t always the easiest to explain in words. Therefore in my experience, the movement adds to my teaching. The third reason is that I can show the right or the left hand at a specific time for the certain passage that I want to be the focus of the attention. For me, the above reasons are very essential to my teaching.” All the best

[@michelpetrus]

@@Antune Thank you very much for those kind explanations. I understand your point of view. I’ll re watch the video with a focus on your body movement then, it’s something that I totally missed :)

How is this possible!? The last chord with your left hand. You are doing a major tenth with one hand. I can't do that even with my wide hands 😂 Do your piano got smaller notes than mine? This is weird.

[@Antune]

I thought no one would pay attention 😅 The keys are regular size!

[@DonSmouth]

@@Antune haha I got the eye of the tiger 😂🐯 No, I just downloaded your sheets and when I see your fingering at the left hand, I was like "OK... Let's try... Hm... Wtf !!" so I checked your video tho. And you really did it.... Therefore, I use my right hand to complete the chord 🖐️😅
