Please continue lecturing us, along with presenting visual demonstrations. Your advice and videos are still very unique on KZbin and are very helpful

[@charlesjazz3224]

It is good you are doing lectures along with demonstration. If I just want someone to perform I’ll listen to recording’s

[@davidlenox8200]

I agree. Its the quality lectures that make this channel stand out above the rest!

[@purpleAiPEy]

You know I can’t resist the Chopin videos. Don’t get me wrong, I will study your other composer videos too, but thank you for this! Also, don’t hesitate to lecture high level concepts.. you opened my eyes to a lot of new ideas. Now I will watch this with full attention.

[@cheahjingyi7515]

Thank you for the encouragement

[@carlosazambujayt]

Excellent video: objective but in-depth, well-founded, well explained and extremely useful! Thank you very much!

[@tsebobo3916]

It is my teacher favourite piece of Chopin

[@purpleAiPEy]

There is a comparison to the liberties of counting that I always like to think about. Disney animators, before taking liberties to draw extremely cartoonish exaggerated proportions, were masters of anatomical realism.

刚开始练习这首曲子非常有帮助

[@RolandHuettmann]

Great great lessons. Thank you. I enjoy your liveliness and deep engagement. It makes me want to play this piece. I never played it. Just now I practicing the Ocean etude op. 24-12 and your suggestion apply there as well. I will turn to this Scherzo later as well. Thank you.

Hello! Can you please tell me how you divide the part at 12:53 between the hands? If it's possible.

[@gerardodavidmesavazquez3999]

Si pudieran ponerle subtítulos a una clase de tanta calidad sería aun mejor

[@user-dq2kd4yw5b]

王老师，想听肖邦波兰舞曲op40no2的讲解

[@j.thomas1420]

Thank you much...! I wish I could understand chinese, you have so many others videos on your channel. Anyway, thank you for that new serie on Chopin. I played many years ago that scherzo and it was interesting to watch your lecture. Is op. 66 posthume on his way too ? 😊 Best regards from Belgium.

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

Yes! Definitely. I have to relearned that one, since I only played it in my teens... but of course! That’s something I shouldn’t miss

[@j.thomas1420]

@@ShijunWangPianoChannel Nice ! I won't miss that for sure...! 👍

[@sx99cornell]

3:33 左手 往右弹 很顺手呀，左手 往左弹 才难呀，是不是说反了？

[@brandonwarweg3622]

"Some people say I lecture/teach to much"?!?!? Ummm...Come again?!?! What buffoon is making this idiotic statement!?!? That is what Dr. Wang does.....hello McFly?!?!? If you miraculously find yourself watching his videos then you must A) be learning piano/theory and looking for ways to improve your playing more efficiently or B) you are pondering in learning to play piano and are a total beginner...Either way, who wouldn't want such valuable information and tips for free via Dr. Wangs KZbin videos where he, you guessed it, explains and teaches you how to improve on particular pieces as well as general practicing advice and improving technique!!! Anyhow, Thanks Dr. Wang for all the help and advice you FREELY give all us wannabe Martha Argerichs, Evgeny Kissins, and Yuja Wangs!!! I sure am grateful and appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos!! Thank you kindly Dr. Wang!!!

[@ShijunWangPianoChannel]

thank you for your support.

[@brandonwarweg3622]

@@ShijunWangPianoChannel You are absolutely welcome Dr. Wang!! And thank you again for all the great tips and advice you share freely and on your own time with us!!! Keep up the good work!!
