harmonically, i have always been "wtf is happening?!? what is this feeling!?!" this coda is truly madness :D

[@PianoTechSupport]

thats so true. it feels like a storm to me, and the further it gets, the clearer and simpler - harmonically too!

[@DavitMinasyan-rn3fv]

in the first half of coda its very unstable and goes through a lot of keys revolving around f minor and also chromatic/diminished thirds but then it becomes a clear f minor/d flat major

[@clook865]

For the beginning, I used to group by 4 instead of 3 to get a smoother legato and avoid accents. For the raise with 5th at right hand, one can "cheat" taking ees and a with left hand thumb.

[@goofyahhgaming3594]

For the raise thats what i do, its not cheating as some people call it, just makes it less technically difficult

[@PianoTechSupport]

Here it is, as requested: Coda for the 4th Ballade. I hope this helps you out and, if there are any questions for fingerings / practice methods, Ill try my best to help out. Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

[@apcerosa6734]

Yay, you actually did it. Thank you!

[@PianoTechSupport]

@@apcerosa6734 Haha of course! Now I just need to do a video about the 3rd Ballade, then I have a little bit for every one of them:)

[@apcerosa6734]

@@PianoTechSupport I better start learning the 3rd then 😁

[@onateroz8540]

@@PianoTechSupport Hey , can you also upload a tips and tricks video for the entire 4the ballade ?

[@PianoTechSupport]

@@onateroz8540 Sure, ill add that to the list:)

[@conlanmccracken4968]

you deserve more popularity 👍

[@PianoTechSupport]

Thanks so much!! Hoping for the best:)

Your channel is truly a masterclass❤

I've learned ballade 1 and 2 years ago. Of course it was never professional playing, just casual hobby and fun of playing them. Now I'm learning the ballade 4, and damn I'm just at right after the second verse. The coda sounds absolutely fantastic, but I gotta go step by step and keep that for the last 😂

[@PianoTechSupport]

Hahaha take it slowly! It's not like anyone wakes up and can suddenly play it 😁😁😁

[@tonyllu]

Eccellente lezione!!!!

Very good tips!

Thank you Fely² !

[@imskar3441]

Do you think you could do a full song guide?

[@nehath123]

A video on op 10 no 4 would help me :D

[@PianoTechSupport]

Good idea! Its also a highly requested etude. Might take a while because I've got other projects in queue, but I'll make a video about it for sure :)

[@Methintic]

@@PianoTechSupport Take your time :)

[@eduardofl98]

👌🏻

[@chaos_planet]

Could you do a full practice guide?

[@PianoTechSupport]

I normally dont do too long full guides, but I give lessons privately if you are interested.

[@_FrozenPotato_]

Do you plan on doing any non classical pieces? These videos are so helpful.

[@PianoTechSupport]

Thanks for the feedback! Well, I do mainly exercises on technique and sometimes specifically for certain pieces. But I'm not trained in jazz or pop music unfortunately, so that would be out of my reach.

[@piano6380]

@@PianoTechSupport “trained in pop” hahahaha

[@KingstonCzajkowski]

@@piano6380 That's a real thing. People don't just go make pop music, you know - the details of production take years of study.

[@conlanmccracken4968]

thanks! would you mind doing un sospiro? i have difficulty with the arpeggios

[@PianoTechSupport]

Thanks for your comment! A lot of pieces in queue but I'll try. Actually, if you tell me what specifically you're having trouble with i can reply straightaway and maybe help your arpeggios. whats the challenge you're facing?

[@conlanmccracken4968]

thank you for replying! i have smaller hands so getting the stretches and fingering for the melody while doing the arpeggios is difficult, also in some sections it is difficult to do the arpeggios with just one hand while the right hand is playing a melody.

[@PianoTechSupport]

@@conlanmccracken4968 Ok, I can definitely see that being a problem, but not impossible to solve. What we cant change is the physical side of things, like the handspan, however it is true that we can stretch the hands and get some extra millimeters out of it - I have experienced this myself and on others. Regardless, I think what you need to work on at the moment is to let go of the fingers faster - even if the Arpeggios should be legato, you can think of them like non-legato or even staccato for now. Play light and keep your fingers active, so they dont get "stuck" while you are shifting your hand around to do the rest of the arpeggio. In the end, I can totally see a non-legato with pedal underneath achieving a good performance for that piece. Thats probably all the info I can give through a youtube comment, so I hope it helps!

[@conlanmccracken4968]

@@PianoTechSupport thank you so much!!! I will try that later today!
