[@yannanhuang6510]

Finally someone who actually talks about piano knowledge

[@boayjunhung7023]

That's called modulation. It's when you change the original key to another one in a piece. In sonata form, this occurs frequently. Usually from a major key to minor key, then back to major. In this case, they key of C has been modulated to the key of C minor, which has the key signature Bb, Eb and Ab. That is why you see the recurring Bb and Eb in the pieces.

[@piadas804]

The second movement is in F major.

I'm currently 13, I was put into piano classes when I was about 6 or 7. My first teacher kept me on level 1 until I was about 9 or 10 and finally quit being with her. We found a new place for me to enroll in a music school, and the teacher is really nice. However, I made little improvement and I was on 2B with her. While she's on maternity leave, I have a substitute from across the U.S. teaching me from his studio online (he works for the same music school). Last week he sent my mom this piece to print out and I only played it for 5 minutes it was the first measure- and I got 2 notes wrong... He told me to close my book when I played the piece I'd been playing for months and told me to take out this piece, and I did. Today, I've played 1 hour and 30 minutes of this. This is coming from someone that lost motivation for piano but couldn't quit, someone that barely practices, and I'm so happy that this piece exists.

This video was recommended by Sharon M. Draper in her book that she wrote called “Blended” saying “And in case you’re interested, here’s a link to hear the song played really, really well.” My school librarian gave it to me, and I’m glad she did. Her book is incredibly well written, about a girl, half white, half black, and her parents are divorced. She loves playing piano and this is the song she is planning to play for her recital. The book is amazing when it comes to the troubles and challenges eleven-year-old Isabella Thornton takes on bravely, despite her parents’ conflict.

Sophie Tan its ok! You can do it, don’t give up! I learned this piece very wrong when I was 8. My tempo was off and I played the eighth notes like quarter notes in some parts. It sucked. My posture and hand position was very wrong. My teacher didn’t even correct me. He didn’t care. After studying with a different teacher for over 8 years and lots of practice, I am pursuing a degree in music, play for my church, and recently started to teach piano! Don’t give up, playing piano is so fun and rewarding! Also, you and I are very fortunate for the opportunity to start piano at a young age. Keep it up!

Hi! My son's also 8yo right now and is currently learning this. I feel excited for him (he's still at a slower tempo right now) 😅

[@vinaypamm1]

Critical comment. Please don’t mind. It’s like a robot playing. No emotion

[@MiChEll9466]

Is the style of barroco o clasico creo. Chopin is emotional

I'm studying this in my 3rd grade of piano class....🎼🎹⏱😖 please wish me good luck...

[@stxrlyssa]

The way he is playing is soooo satisfying. I am a beginner level 2 in piano and i am about to learn the 3rd mvt. :’) I still cannot make the 1st and 2nd mvt. perfectly! I guess practice does make perfect. And to the guy who played. Bravo

[@dodysherman8817]

I help my granddaughter with her book summaries every night. Blended is an amazing book, and the piano piece is lovely. I played when I was younger and I still miss it. " Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"!

[@taehyunkim1157]

I played this when I was 8 and now I don't remember how to play it XF

[@dominique7559]

I’ve already spent about 12hours and I’m not where near done haha oh well! It is fun and lots of little things to put in

[@bubblestudy4133]

Um when you do the trill, I think you are supposed to start on one note above the one written. I could be wrong! This sounded amazing.

[@AngelaLagassie]

no, you're right, trill is supposed to start on the note above

[@michele4837]

Actually it depends on the era the music was written. I'm not sure if your'e right but I don't know what time it was written.

[@arnavd7610]

Does anyone know how to play indian classical I bet its harder than most of the peices(not this) Pls try indian classical Thanks Have a gud day😀

[@AK47_414]

Please shut up man, if you care so much why don't you try playing it yourself. Please comment about the piece

[@historybuilder6644]

Isn’t the first movement so beautiful!? It doesn’t look too hard in the sheet music and its not that hard to play from where I am now. I hope that stays the same...

[@emilioooo9678]

How did it go?

[@aquaz711]

played first movement at first recital at 10 :)
