A Lesson on C.P.E. Bach: Solfeggietto

[@cjanebell]

You are a marvel, Denis. Here's a little piece I've played many times...and in 14 minutes and 38 seconds, you've given me enough ideas to make it sound completely new - and provided inspiration to rethink the whole piece. Congratulations! and many thanks! 😘🌈

[@dominik8249]

you are sooo underrated you deserve wayyy more recognition, your courses are very helpful.

[@billligon4005]

Most of the time, actually all of the time, I get more out of playing music on the piano than listening to it! The player gets MUCH MORE from the music than his audience.

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

That’s often true, unless a listener is much more experienced with music than the player themselves! I know people who can’t play well, but feel, react, and reflect on music deeper and more vibrantly than many acclaimed virtuosi.

[@tiamat1628]

This is elegant teaching!

[@michaeltierra6388]

This simple work is a masterpiece. You brought out so many marvelous pianistic elements. The world of baroque music in a drop. Played thus it would make a wonderful encore. By the way, the idea with this piece is not to see how fast you can play but how beautifully you can play.

[@jeremystephenson5990]

Cannot tell you how useful this is. Thank you so much

[@robbreeze8794]

Tackling this piece currently. Thank you for the insight!

[@westernkentucky5956]

I have to thank you for addressing what the whole arm and body have to do on this one. You have helped me immensely on playing this piece. It's hard since I have not looked at it in 30 years. You're a good teacher.

[@LiliVG]

I decided to go back to this beautiful piece and rework some of the tricky parts. I found this particular tutorial particularly helpful. A good artist/teacher always brings something to the table, for example how to move the wrist in a particular passage or a different way to bring out dynamics in another section. I listen to a particular passage and emulate it right away at the keyboard. Super helpful. It’s wonderful to look at an old piece with a fresh perspective. Thank you Denis.

[@arlarl7176]

Thank you! I really appreciate that your videos are really full of useful information! There are so many videos on youtube, and many videos of other pianists last half an hour or so but are not helpful in the end for the daily practise. It is really not so easy to find videos in thousands and thousands of videos on youtube, that are really useful for the daily practise, but luckily now I have found your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I hope you will get more famous and get more subscribers.

[@andreaskgeorgiou]

Thank you, thank you! I ve been playing for 35 years. This was the best lesson I ever received!

[@Racquetballplayer76]

Thank you for such an amazing and detailed lessons

[@ITriedThis]

So far, this is my favourite of your lessons. So much to think about in such a short piece. I'm inspired to learn this now!

[@joyceb6634]

Great teaching. You are an excellent teacher, thank you. Thank you for dividing it up so well and showing the different ways. I'm definitely subscribing.

[@epargnepension2262]

@1:08 I'm an adult beginner struggling hard with scales since months and it was pissing me off ! i've chosen solfeggietto for my grade 6, so i needed to learn to do a proper scale, and your tip to initiate hand/wrist movement BEFORE thumb arrives on his key and not AFTER is they key to give me even sound on thumb passage. I've seen tons of videos but don't remember someone was explaining that. A big big thank you man !

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

🙏😊

[@jones2786]

It would be great if you could make a tutorial of micro dynamics on different pieces of different period!!

[@Magic-of-life]

Thank you Denis! An amazing lesson! 💫✨️

[@triplemango1431]

Thank you so much. It helped me play well❤

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Happy to hear that!

[@edwardfrench7216]

Another fine lesson. I shall dig out the piece and see if I can now play it with a fraction of your musicality. Your preceding performance was a lesson in itself. I love the way you combine love of the piano, virtuosity, great pedagogy and command of the medium (in your video management). It’s quite unique. Warm thanks.

[@_samuelfrancis_]

Completely agree here, your ability to play exactly as you envision is so incredibly impressive Denis! Great lesson :D

[@Anna-pc1bd]

Thank you for your tutorial. I love the techniques explained. Very helpful! I am in initial stage of learning piano- about third grade. It may be helpful if you would have a red vertical line moving along with the notes on the music scores, and if you have fingerings added, this will be awesome! Much appreciated

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Thank for the suggestion, I’ll keep in mind

Thank you so much for your artistic interpretation of this beautiful little piece. I actually never played it before and now I am having fun, especially with your great suggestions for interpretation.

Glad you like it! ☺️🙏

[@alexandergroysman2357]

Truly a wonderful work. Instructive and very useful. May I ask for a Schubert's impromptu No3 in G-flat major.

That’s an older video but I think there are some useful tips nevertheless kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKrVdoGfr62Bd5o

[@alexpetro63]

Thank you Denis, very usefull tutorial!! Just a little suggestion, for a principiant like me, is important that you show also your fingers number, sometimes you are to fast to understand what you are doing. Thank you again.

[@elke__wolf]

Thank you! Just discovered your channel and love your way of teaching. Very logical, clear and much inspiring. One question: I saw some versions of professionals using little bit of pedal on some places in this piece. Would you recommend it?

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Thank you! This is a matter of taste. I have nothing against using potential a modern instrument gives us when playing older pieces.

[@michaelsmith697]

Excellent lesson Denis. I played this many years ago. It’s a great piece! My edition says Presto. What do you advise?

[@spope5294]

Very nice

[@daves5562]

I love you too

[@renastone9355]

A bit depressing when he says, "Start out a moderate speed" and then plays at a speed that I am trying to reach but definitely haven't yet. :(

Hi, in order to answer what you say at the end of this video, I'd like to know better 'arabesque n 1' by C. Debussy ... thank you anyway and ... bravo!!! P.S. I liked very much your pack of Chopin's preludes (I had studied 8 of them, the easiest, I think, and presented at the exames in conservatoire 5° year in Rome) and now I would know how to begin studying anyone of them, n 8 too, f.e.. The only things that lacked to me are subtitles and transcription. Anyway More thanks, by!

[@westernkentucky5956]

PS You may not be able to say, but are you playing on a Yamaha? Sounds like one. Cheers.

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

Kawai! But that’s from my former very small studio, and also before I invested in costly omnidirectional microphones, so piano sounds harsher than in my new bigger studio.

[@westernkentucky5956]

@@DenZhdanovPianist Kawai is great. Anyway, it sounds fine, but I'll take a look at your other vids featuring your new studio. Thanks again!

[@yvespetit9369]

You never take a time for a slowly part. It is very hard to understand all your explanation. Pity that the demonstration goes so quickly. The video is of no help to move forward on this piece.

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

You can set up a playback speed at 0.75x or even 0.5x, and have thus a slower video. There are also functions to stop and return back in order to review any part. If a video lesson doesn’t meet your current level of understanding and usage of a KZbin platform, it doesn’t mean it has no value.

[@yvespetit9369]

@@DenZhdanovPianist At 0.5 or 0.75 speed your comment were inaudible. Your video is not bad but it’s not a tuto just a performance.

[@Sloimer]

play it at .5x speed then dummy
