I hope you are ok

[@sonnybrunelli1527]

I wish this channel uploaded I love the videos 😥

[@0ManPiano0]

Sir, will you updating your videos?

[@testtest7587]

How incredibly lucky we are to live in a world where you decided to share your knowledge with us! You have helped me so much already with your extended tutorials in a way nobody else on the internet does, and i really do hope you return to this channel at some point, and also give us a way to support you...

[@pianoinsights6092]

You are so welcome! What a way to start the day, reading your lovely comments. It is my New Year resolution to get more videos up... it's been too long!

[@mourner1984]

Please continue! These videos have been golden for someone on my level. I have been playing the piano on and off for most of my 35 year old life, but only a couple of years on a serious level. Unfourtunately I have forgotten most of what I used to know. You have been a great help revisiting works as the Pathetique sonata or Claire de Lune. I am truly grateful!

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thank you Adam. I am planning to start making more videos soon.

[@feisuxiaozhu]

@@pianoinsights6092 Please do upload more videos, your channel is like a hidden gem for self-taught amateur players!

[@nicklagrega9147]

So happy to have discovered your channel...love your interpretation of Brahms Intermezzo...Beautifully played...

[@tarmaccowboy4939]

I’m playing this through my home surround sound system, and it sounds beautiful! You’re playing is amazing. I really do hope you keep posting videos on your channel. Your teaching is certainly helping me on my piano playing journey, so thank you. In the past, you really helped me on 3v2 (Debussy). I was applying it to Send In The Clowns! I hit a wall on this piece, but applying your tapping method on 3v2 finally got it to ‘click’ for me and now my brain works on hand independence! I’ve only been playing for two years, (intensely I might add) but I’ve now completed Send In The Clowns purely by reading the score and applying what I’ve learned on KZbin by watching and listening to professionals like yourself, so thank you! I’m well chuffed! :o) For info, if you were to consider a dedicated online paid subscription course for beginners/intermediate players, I would definitely be interested in becoming a member.

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thanks for your appreciative comments, and glad to hear your'e 'well chuffed'. Hmm... you're not a Brit by any chance? Interesting idea about a course. I will give it thought.

[@tarmaccowboy4939]

I am a Brit (for the moment!). I’m a 53 year old Scot living in Cambridgeshire. Finally got all the kids out the house, so I plan on spending the next 40 years or so doing what I want. learning piano is right up there! Unfortunately my work involves constant travel away from home with no fixed schedule, so I can’t commit to a local teacher. Anything I study has to be done online. I have a lovely little Feurich upright piano at home, and various keyboards that I use as travelling companions while away. I do need to get more into music theory and fundamentals though. I feel I need a stronger foundation to move forward with my playing. Regards..

[@pianoinsights6092]

I wish you all the best with your piano playing. Maybe you'll get some more than usual home practice time in our new days of social distancing!

[@tarmaccowboy4939]

Thank you! I’m hoping so. It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good! 😀👍🎹

[@farouk6564]

I just moved from your Debussy Arabesque 1 video to this. I am so glad that you were uploading pieces that I played in the last year or so, and have learned a lot from you. Next I will watch your Rachmaninoff Prelude in G# minor. Thanks!

[@pianoinsights6092]

Great to hear.' Thanks.

[@jakobhofmann2903]

I hope more videos will follow :) I would appreciate a video on Appassionata 3rd movement

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thanks Jakob. That piece is on my list.

[@rachgodf03]

Beautifully played! Recently uploaded this movement too, love your interpretation!

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thanks so much, Emile.

[@jhebe4580]

Hi, love your videos. How are you? Long time since the last update. Really looking forward to new videos!

[@pianoinsights6092]

Thank you, I appreciate it. I do intend top get going on videos again very soon.

[@1141951fraffly]

Wonderful, wonderful. The gravity and the grace are so convincing . . . thank you. But what are the boxes of books doing in the piano? Best, Jonathan

[@pianoinsights6092]

Hi Jonathan, great to hear from you. Thank you, and the box was not quite long enough to keep the cats out, so a book was needed to fill the gap. Since then they have on the whole lost interest in settling on the strings! Best to everyone.

[@vojustin6341]

Your videos are great and I would like to repost your channel exactly on a nice platform named Gan Jing World. If this sounds interesting to you, please respond to me. Many thanks!

[@nicklagrega9147]

Clive...any hints for practice on the Brahms Intermezzo...? What is the best way to achieve success with this piece? Thanks, Nick PS love your channel!

[@pianoinsights6092]

Which one, Nick? I have a tutorial on the A major, considering one on the B flat minor.
