[@ghostemane3209]

I know it sounds lame but you’re one of my heros and inspiration to learning piano.. I’m 19 and 1,5 months in, I just love to listen to your videos

What a coincidence! I just recorded this movement last month (it’s on my KZbin-Channel) 🎹 I totally agree with all your suggestions, especially the fingerings and the idea of slurs (7:30). Helped me a lot to avoid tension in the hand and in the arm! Thanks, Josh!

I recently bought your ProPractice course, can't wait to play this in the future (maybe in 10 years) :)

Just purchased your moonlight sonata 3 movement pro practice :) coming along nice at a slow tempo this Chanel is a gem.

Love your tutorials. A lot of your repertoire tutorials are out of my skill level for the time being, but I'll have a great reference point for when I am ready. Thanks for all your content! 🥂

Thank you for your kindness Steve. Keep up the great work on the piano!

Very good insights on this piece! I agree with what you said at 9:57 about this part being the hardest :) I feel the same, and although I have been working on this piece for a few months now, it's still quite hard to keep the tempo steady especially in the following section! Also thanks for explaining the hand rotation technique, I have been wondering about that for a while!

[@maxwagner3181]

9:55 me too, it probably is the most difficult part because of tension. Thanks for your advise, greetings from Germany!

[@joshwrightpiano]

Thanks so much Max!

Revelation after revelation, Josh! Thank you.

Thank you so much for your videos Josh! Always a pleasure! Hope you could do the 3rd mov. Of the piano concerto 2 Rach, I've been watching your masterclass thsr I bought for the 1st movement :D

[@joshwrightpiano]

Thanks Johansson! It’s been quite a few years since I played that. If I relearn it I will make a tutorial on it :)

With the 3 pieces of opus 31 (and especially the N2), this is the moment in his life when he decided to "open a new path".

[@camelectric]

Amazing, you are a fabulous teacher and communicator! But what about pedaling and fingering from Beethoven's own hand for this piece? Why are they systematically ignored by most teachers?

Nobody could do water falling into still pools, whether drop by drop or in a torrent, like Beethoven.

[@joshwrightpiano]

He is a very special composer!
