Friedrich Kuhlau: Sonatina Op. 55 No 3 in C Major (Complete)

[@o.k_2758]

My piano teacher assigned me this piece, and I went into it, not knowing what to expect. I was absolutely hypnotized by it and with the help of this video, I just learnt the first page in under an hour. You really can learn a piece faster if you enjoy it!

[@SalvatoreNicolosi]

Congratulations on your courageous commitment to learn this Sonatina. I wish you a happy outcome. Thank you for listening.

[@jaimepelaezsantos2488]

Gracias por poner las sonatinas enteras, con los tres o cuatro movimientos.

[@CLAIRE-zh1pc]

Hello, this was really helpful, I'm ten years old right now and learning this piece.I think this piece was really well played, you added lots of dynamic, and slurs, and others. Thank you very much...

[@SalvatoreNicolosi]

You are welcome. Thanks for listening and for liking. I am really glad to have been helpful. Congratulations on your skill in tackling a Sonatina at your very young age which is certainly not very easy.

My teacher assigned me this piece and by watching this video I learned the entire piece in one day!😊(Beautiful work and playing) I am also only 8 years old

[@SalvatoreNicolosi]

Compliments! You must be very good if at your age you can learn a Sonatina like this in just one day. I wish you much success. Thank you for choosing and viewing my video.

[@nikoskokkinis]

Excellent! Well done to the performer. I sensed some successful spontaneous improvisations in articulations - Fantastic. Real playing...

[@SalvatoreNicolosi]

Thanks for listening and for your tolerance towards "spontaneous improvisations in articulations". I did it consciously, to safeguard the expressiveness of the melody.

[@viviennehayes2856]

I have read comments about this being a Grade 2 to a Grade 4 exam piece - if that is the case, this is played EXTREMELY fast for those Grades. Apart from exams, I believe that it is too fast.

[@SalvatoreNicolosi]

I am very sorry for your problems, but the time signature of this piece is "Allegro con Spirito", which in Italian means more or less "lively °, ° fast °, and the like. In my video the metronome speed is about 130 ~ 140 for the quarter note, which corresponds to the speed of a professional piano, but you can always choose a lower speed, which suits your skills. Best wishes for a good job.

It’s too fast...

[@SalvatoreNicolosi]

From a quick Internet search we can deduce the following: Allegro - fast, quick, and bright (120-156 bpm) (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo). Con spirito (Classical Music) music (to be performed) in a spirited or lively manner (www.thefreedictionary.com/con+spirito). The speed maintained in this video is around 130 bpm, so it should fall well within the parameters indicated above.
