How Can Beethoven’s Techniques Make You a Better Jazz Pianist?

[@robertpenway]

Beside the helpful things you show us in this video, it's nice to see how you get lost in your own playing. I wish I could play piano to experience the same.

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Rene. It is without a doubt a lot of fun experimenting with this stuff. Have you been playing piano for a while?

[@robertpenway]

@@NoahKellman Hi. I had private piano lessons many years ago for about seven or eight months bu then I ran out of money. I've been following your channel for months and your content is amazing and more than once an eye-opener. But watching you getting lost in your own playing made me rediscover my passion for playing the piano.

Hey King, You dropped this 👑.

[@NoahKellman]

hahaha love the creativity of this comment and thanks!

[@Meli91972]

😭😇 Gosh, I love this series so much. So creative Noah. I have improvised on Chopin ou Debussy music in the past before I got into jazz, so I find it so interesting to see you also "Steal" from them 🔥

[@nezkeys79]

Fred Hersch and Keith Jarret are champions of this style imo. Beautifully lyrical and emotive jazz with melodies in the inner parts as well. Not quite "beethoven" but wonderful

[@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851]

Oh hi, nice to see you here as well.

[@samtchen]

Super inspiring stuff , thanks ! Concernig Beethoven , I personaly am inspired by the triplets of the Moonlight Sonata in measure 57 over the Octaves that create the thirds of the chords . Pretty much the first pop song passing chords in history ever . Basic material for many pop songs to come up much later . To me the triplets against the quarter tones makes it sound strong and very emotional at the same time .You can use the progression even as a texture for latin rhythms on piano .

A very rich idea .. Waldstein piano Sonata .. Appasionata .. Concerto 3.. . Nice choices .. very direct transfers .. beautiful !!

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Charles 🙏 appreciate the comment

[@ChoBee333]

I think Beethoven was one of the first jazz pianists in history.

[@jazzlife6103]

Check out Beethoven's last piano sonata if you haven't already - #32. Two movements. 2nd movement contains astonishingly swinging passage around bar 50.

[@bobzuck3733]

“Classical”used in other contexts usually creeps me out. These, however, are brilliant. How I would like to romp in the landscape of your mind. Always look forward to these.

[@nezkeys79]

Beethoven is probably my favourite pre liszt/chopin/rachmaninov composer of all time

[@nezkeys79]

Collab with nahre sol? Seems like the perfect blend of classical and modern jazz

[@gardeeriksonjazz2495]

Great ideas. Sounds beautiful

[@hangroover]

How stealing can feel this good :D

Thanks, Sparsh!

[@alexkorogodinmusic2594]

Thank you ♥️ 🎹👍

[@anettephamuanghansen1775]

It is soooooo nice. Love it :-)

[@eduardosposito8052]

Really genial

[@belindadrake5487]

BEETHOVEN is my ABSOLUTE GOD’ In music. I’m a classical/jazz pianist OH MY LORD!! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIM. I’ve studied him. AND his life. My ‘warm up’ piece is Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14, in C-sharp Minor, Op.27,No.2: Sonata quasi una Fantasia. ( joking, 😆 in my own way here!) : l sound like a snob ‘there ya go type of manner’!) True enuff but! Maybe someone will smile/smirk, or write me off. Pffft! And ‘they say’ ( always wondered who are they?) classical musos have no sense of humour, as lame attempt as it is! LUDWIG ROCKS!! 😬🎹👊🏾🤩🥳🎸

[@nicolasgarcia9391]

Some news about the piano textures course??

[@NoahKellman]

Hey Nicolás, I ended up including the textures material in my new Jazz Piano EVOLUTIONS course!

[@tomwelsh3530]

I'm begging you to continue the series with Chopin and Rachmaninov next...

[@bruce3244]

Hey uhm I also play the piano but I would like to know where I can find like the books of some of the greatest classical pianists so I can start playing them!!

[@miciomatto1]

Brad mehldau docet 😀

[@HughOKelly]

Luv it Noah, ps..Did you also bring the other seven?

[@claudiakramer4516]

well. I grew up on classical music and I hate it. What other genres do you suggest that I pull from?

[@NoahKellman]

Honestly I think you can take the same ideas here and pull from pretty much any genre. Ask how can you arrange the part that you like of that music on piano in such a way as it creates an interesting texture or sound.

[@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851]

What did you grow up with though? I don’t care for most of it before the 20th century but then there are composers like Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, many more. With how broad it is, you’ll find something you like.

[@eduardosposito8052]

Fantastish Noah!!!! Thank you very much!!!!!

[@Puehromahne]

Love your videos. They are so inspiring

[@emmanuelcatachanas6602]

This work so well. Beautiful

[@hansdampf7766]

Very cool! Great stuff... Any ideas for "stealing from Rachmaninoff"?

[@NoahKellman]

Oh, I’ve got ideas 🤓

[@hunterac45]

1:50 I did this as a little kid too lmao

[@olekiilerich4191]

This is so inspiring, thank you!

[@JulianWegner]

Hey. I love that you chose Beethoven. I think this is the future of what Jazz will sound like or maybe should sound like. Love it!

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks 🙏🙏 i’m super excited to see how people use these ideas in the future!

[@YigitSener]

thats what im waiting for..

[@hirosavage]

You’re doing gods work Noah

[@NoahKellman]

Thanks, Hiro 🙏💪

[@zachareywilson5964]

Would love to see a Debussy video!!

[@NoahKellman]

Totally, have one on the back burner!!

[@HuugyBearInc]

Why were you playing with your hands backwards?

[@timsherman7732]

Play melody w right and comp w left. It’s just that his melody was low and his comp pattern was up high. Don’t overthink it it’s how people play piano me bru

[@timsherman7732]

You could play the pattern w reverse hands but anyway. It’s more common to comp w left.

[@HuugyBearInc]

@@timsherman7732 ahh I see that makes sense

[@NoahKellman]

Yeah I think it’s just about maintaining the same pattern with one hand, so the left hand can keep the same motor/pattern going which is easy for the brain to handle, then the right hand can move around and do its thing.
