[@mohanshaw3318]

Very interesting masterclass, it really shows the essence of the piece

[@muribmor]

Finally I can play it musically. Thank you Alan.

[@jaijeffryes]

Alan, I love the way you speak. This lesson is so cool, and Yuji does so well. You went through this on the same piece with me, when, three years ago? Just the left hand point alone has put me on a fruitful learning path I have yet to exhaust in the whole three years since. I love this lesson. I want to hear from Yuji!

Great lesson ！

[@geoffthemusicguy6196]

Wonderful.

[@enriqueali]

This was interesting. I wonder how those following the Russian school of piano playing go about learning this Étude? Always nice to learn about different approaches to problem-solving.

[@TSSbaula]

I think of Horowitz when he is talking about the left hand.

[@metteholm4833]

I might dare an attempt now.

[@pablobear4241]

at 7:11 i thought of rachmaninoff's reference to thinking your fingers are like roots and extending into the ground of your keys if that makes sense.

[@RanBlakePiano]

Perhaps a little less pedal You are very clear Thank you

[@felixtani4030]

Hi Alan! Great video, I have a question? Why do don't you ever mention Abby Whiteside? For me much more important than Taubman. I studied with great apprentice Sophia Rosoff in Nyc. I think your approach is a great complement now when i get the hang of using the interossi muscles correct. I tried your approach several times but it has always ended with pain in my forearms and got back to the more "big muscles" approach of Abby. But now I think i get it and I understand the benefits of it. Would like to have a lesson from you some time. Best /Felix Tani jazz pianist from Sweden

[@PianoSomatics]

Dear Felix, I think Abby Whiteside is great. I don't know why I don't mention her. Perhaps because I am couching my explanations in terms of Piano Somatics rather than relating it to earlier approaches. I am trying to keep things clear this way, but perhaps you are right and I should talk about her ideas. Certainly you are right to use her "big muscles" approach. My approach works WHEN the larger ,muscles nearer the core are in good use. These days I am talking about that more. Back then I did not, simply because I had to focus on what, to my mind, was the most glaring problem at the moment. It is really difficult to touch all the bases in any one teaching situation! In any case I would be happy to discuss this more in a lesson... Let me know if you are up for it. All best wishes, Alan Fraser

[@felixtani4030]

@@PianoSomatics Thank you for your answer, Im very much up for a lesson would be illuminating! Worked a lot on this etude with Sophia. I think the approach is one of the most musical I have come a cross. Best Felix

[@PianoSomatics]

@@felixtani4030 I would be fascinated to hear more about your lessons with an Abby Whiteside student! And also it would be a pleasure to work with you myself. Please write me at [e-mail] to set up a lesson time.

[@Ellatigojusticiero]

No changes of rhythms professor?

[@alanfraser2948]

I can't cover all the bases in one short session. Here I gave what I felt was most essential for him, and what would most educate the audience of piano teachers. They all already know about altered rhythms; I was offering something new.
