F. Chopin - Etude Op. 10 no. 1 - "How to practice?" tutorial - Greg Niemczuk's lecture.

[@rothschildianum]

This is the best Op. 10 No. 1 Tutorial ever been made! Other tutorials on this etude is nothing compare to this one.

[@ericastier1646]

It's the 2nd one i watch and i'd say this is more in depth while the first provided some good elements but was insufficient not covering important psychological aspect in practicing and ignored how to overcome difficult bars which is covered here.

[@druntopronto7598]

[@thepianocornertpc]

Who are you to discriminate? There are plenty of excellent tutorials by very experienced pianists and teachers on this etude. To dismiss the work and efforts of others as"nothing" shows only your mediocre and biased mindset. Also the fact that the owner of this channel gave a "heart" to your asinine comment speaks volumes about HIS mindset.

[@rothschildianum]

@@thepianocornertpc Why my opinion bothers you so much! If I think it is the best and I think the other tutorials nothing, it is my right to say. Again, this is the best and the others are nothing compare to this. In addition, I did buy many of his paid tutorials. I do not just talk, I did spend my money on his products. The channel owner has more credibility about piano matters than you, you just a piano video uploaders on KZbin, you have no products yourself!

[@thepianocornertpc]

@@rothschildianum My products are on a website. Not accessible to complete assholes like yourself. And there is nothing you can do about it. I am sorry to see your less than mediocre mindset taking high flights again. Have a nice day.

[@JG_1998]

I've learned a few bars of this to practice as a warm up exercise, and when I started I almost instantly gave up because I couldn't imagine how anyone could stretch those arpeggios, especially at tempo. But then after a couple weeks of 5-10 min a day practicing the arpeggios as chords I'm nearly up to tempo. It's almost like magic how you can "trick" your hand into playing things that seem impossible.

[@goktugblack]

I never saw a pianist of this caliber so humble so positive soo down to earth with approachable practice techniques. You are lightyears ahead of other smug condescending types in KZbin. And you immediately had me by saying "don't play while looking to score". Expressing the importance muscle of memory. AND you are Polish!!! What better way to learn Chopin! I am practicing easier pieces like 34-2 waltz and 37-1 nocturne but enjoyed your video so much. Subscribed!

Grazie per la passione, la competenza e l'amore che ci metti per far arrivare a noi il frutto dei tuoi sacrifici!

Haha it’s hard to be amateur pianist, it’s like fumbling in the dark. Did not know how to achieve clarity, especially in this etude, your simple tip applies to everything - it makes such a difference ! Playing without wrong note is like a dream come true. Actually that’s how I started this etude, years ago, although it was way above my level, I dreamt I played it flawlessly without effort, the dream was so vivid I thought I should learn this etude. Thank you so much for pushing us to the next level:) 🙏😊

[@gregniemczuk]

My pleasure! Good luck with this!

[@PrinzoTheCat]

This is such an awesome tutorial video!!! 🤩 You are not only a great pianist but you have an incredible talent to teach and to explain. I am sure that this etude is very difficult to play/learn but you made it so easy to understand and showed how we can approach it with small steps. I am definitly going to try to learn this etude in the future. Therefore I will watch this video many many times for sure ^^. I already watched your introduction video about practicing and I think I already made some progress after using it a few days only. Especially I used your method of repeating small sections and not to rush while practicing. Also your advice with the coffee for a better sound quality was great. My punisment for playing wrong notes was not as big as you said in this video 😅 (repeating 100 times) so I will increase the amount in the future even more and try it. Your explanation about practicing without the piano was very interesting in this video. I have to try that aswell. Do you only think about your fingers and how they move while playing or do you also imagine how the score looks like? It feels very difficult to even imagine my hands only. Thank you very very much for all of your videos! 🙏💖

The main thing I got from this video was about the wrong notes.

[@RichardRhysson-tf9cd]

Like you, I also have a bust of Chopin on my piano. The difference is mine weeps when I play his music! I started playing piano around about forty years ago. I had a couple of years of lessons before being dismissed by the teacher for playing too fast. Since then I have played most days always with sheet music. When you said to ignore the score I was a bit stunned. I can assure you, I am no genius but I have always been able to play most pieces by sight. Not knowing any other pianists I thought this was the norm. Of course the downside to being able to read this way is that I do not analyse the music. I was genuinely dumbfounded when you pointed out that practically the whole piece is built on triads. It is so obvious. I heard this piece played on BBC Radio 3 yesterday and it sounded so complicated that I wanted to see it performed and that led me to this wonderful lesson. Some years ago I heard an interview with a concert pianist where he said that seemingly simple pieces like Mozart's sonatas were harder to play than all of the flashy pieces like this. At the time I thought this very unlikely. Your tutorial has made me see what he meant. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to making my Chopin bust a little bit happier! Thank you.

Thankyou Sir for your wonderful video. I'm taking my notes on the video here as it will help more people here than on a piece of paper on the piano...: -No wrong notes, preparing finger above the centre of note before playing the key. -Using the wrist. -Impulse of finger, plucking staccato action on each note, no wrist. -2 note chords. -1 note followed by 3 note chord. -3 note chord followed by 1 note. -1 note, followed by 1 note followed by 2 note chord. -Any other variations of chords you can think of. -Stop on each thumb ascending and stop on each 5th finger descending and prepare fingers above keys depending on hand size. -Never practice without thinking, you have to know why you are doing something -2 note rhythms. -4 note rhythms. (thinking about wrist, make sure you practiced playing clean as prepatory) Pinching or scratching action while also using the wrist. -.Think about every 2nd note. Accent them. Tell yourself G E G E and connect this with the keys it helps so much. -Stop before the strange D# and prepare the finger and don't play it, repeat this 100-300+ times. -Practice away from the piano, close eyes, imagine the keyboard, imagine every single finger onthe key that you play, without speaking you must touch every single note. Spend a lot of time like this, it helps with speed.I notice he also thinks rapidly in solfege verbally when doing this in 4 note groups. He practices all the etudes like this. -8 note speed groups using wrist. -9 note groups. Say the notes in solfege mentally and visualising the keyboard away from piano too. -For that very difficult descending arpeggio starting with Eb, he starts close to the lid of the piano and moves out, and uses scratching/pinching, the thimb has to go out and the wrist is helping, every hand is different so experimentation is needed. -In all the wide passages where you think your hand's too small, you use the wrist and have a very subtle hand, you don't have to play legato, you can let go to avoid too much stretching, practice these arpeggios staccato with the fast impulse of the finger. You can experiment with different fingerings. -A major, stop on 4th finger prepare 5 on C# and stop before playing. Practice in chords. -Elbow pain, relax elbow let it flop down like a bird with arms hanging, then try relaxing elbows with hands on lap, then try with a chord cluster relaxing elbow.Elbows hanging from shoulders and dropping. Practice relaxing arm at the top and bottom of each arpeggio by stopping and dropping arm to the side or to the lap. -Master making phrases and singing with left hand, playing legato changing finger with left hand, always join legato with left hand. Thankyou so much, now time for practice.

[@Cardstacker]

Great video thanks. I agree its so easy to memorize that's why I learned it far sooner than I should have based on my skill level. Even many years later I do struggle with the A Major run up the keyboard but an even bigger struggle is the C E flat G E flat run not far before it.

[@ericastier1646]

I love to read from others since i am also an advanced level with that study but struggle to complete it. Yeah the A major is tough for me too. I think practicing it with dotted rhythm slowly helps to find a way to 'cheat' the difficulty at faster tempo. There's no Cminor arpeggio, but i think i know exactly the bar you refer, it's C Eb A Eb or there's also an C G Ab E earlier. For the Ab arppegio make the A the goal not the top Eb pinky then add the Eb without accentuating it and relax hand already on the first C thumb note. I used to have problem with it but no more.

Great advice about practice techniques. Totally agree that true practice is about Problem Solving at the core. Also, my theory for why some people excel in piano or other instruments so naturally is because they automatically use "mental practice." It's actually hard to hold a conversation for these people sometimes, because they're practicing movements all the time with part of their brain...

I am so impressed by this instruction. Not just for this one piece mind you. I read in a book like 30+ yrs (Pianists Problems or something like that) ago the same thing Grzegorz is saying here about playing cleanly and not missing notes and it compounds over time and becomes ingrained. I heard piano players in college in practice rooms missing tons of notes all over the play, repeating this over and over and I'm like, I can never do this. Go as slow as you need to get the finger on the correct key, then press. This is quite a thing in real practice.
