Thank you for the kind words!

Yes!

[@coopersmom8339]

I absolutely agree. Somehow I only recently found out Antune channel. Someday this channel will hit millions view. No doubt! Two thumbs up. 👍

[@colinmaharaj50]

I learned the hard way that most people are not connoisseurs of fine things. I am trying to help some youths in my neighborhood (I'm 53) and they are into video game, tic tok and fighting. Not reading, not education, not practicing things that will give them a lifetime of pleasure and appreciation.

[@vanewfies]

So do I! His tutorial are among the best among all youtube piano channels.

[@djtomt]

I honestly cannot even believe how much value is packed into this video - it is astounding!! Thank you!

[@Antune]

Happy to hear you think so! Many thanks

[@eisenheim26]

What an amazing teacher. So much valuable content in 30 minutes.

[@Antune]

Glad you think so! Thank you

[@AECSRQ]

Thanks! Beautifully done.

[@AECSRQ]

Antune, would you please do this for the Bach Siloti Prelude in B Minor? I love Emil Gilels' interpretation but would value your ideas greatly. You have wonderful musical taste.

[@Antune]

@@AECSRQ, I appreciate your kindness! I considered making a video about Bach/Siloti Prelude in B minor a few months ago. But it didn't happen. Emile Gilels was the teacher of one of my piano teachers, Milena Mollova. So, I am a massive fan of his pianism and the recording you mentioned. Hopefully, I will make a video about this Prelude sometime in the future. All the best!

[@EthanDeRose]

This channel is absolutly amazing! I can't thank you enough for this gift of a channel. I'm actually thinking about paying for some lessons. I started piano at 14, advanced fairly quickly then at 18 took a turn to more modern music. Stopped playing altogether around 25. Now at 35, my interest and passion has come back after finding old sheet music and it feels like an unfinished chapter that i have to fulfill. 2 weeks later I'm practicing everyday and want to really learn the music not just play the notes. This channel has been a godsend for understanding the depth and expression of classical music!

[@Antune]

Thank you for the kind words! Good to hear your passion has come back. I hope you have lots of fun with piano playing. All the best!

[@jesusdontcry.]

I can't even put into words how happy I am for finding this video. Thank. You.

[@muarkosh]

I was looking for every possible performance of this prelude (can't tell how much I love it). I found your shorts with this prelude & fugue and followed your link in the comments. Here I found out 32-min video about this composition. Awesome, I thought. Then I heard your voice. And I almost died of pleasure. Then I watched this awesome introduction. And I felt life in all its beauty and magnificence, motion and progression. Man, is this for real? I am so grateful to live in this time, in this universe, and just watch this video. Antune, you're the best. Keep going, good luck!❤❤❤

Thank you so much. you are a legend. The fingering was so helpful, subscribed with all accounts. No channel is currently better than yours on youtube,

[@xpump876]

Awesome explanation on how to impart music into one of Bach's more famous works. It's sad that Bach's music wasn't fully appreciated in his time, especially considering the massive amount of music he had written. Humankind was graced that this work was eventually recognized and revitalized by many subsequent generations of musicians and composers.

[@keremkeskiner7727]

As always a great tutorial. And at last, this one :))) In addition, I liked the way you began the video, giving it a feeling corresponding to the piece, as if this one was an episode of a series. Thank you very much!

Accordion player here! Performing this at an international contest tomorrow. I absolutely adore your advice on how much pressure shod be used for each note. I also play jazz piano, so the right hand for me is very simple, but the left hand, for the accordion, is quite the challenge. But despite the differences of the two intruments, everything you say is still a miracle of help. Much love to your channel and you!

Thank you for these educated advices. I am learning the second prelude (happy 300 years birthday) and this will help me bring my playing to a decent level. But even if you do not play, following the courses allows you to appreciate great artists playing with a sharper ear. Many thanks.

[@monika1234ify]

Not sure exactly what I'm getting into with this, but I've been learning about fugue structures and Bach's life the last year or so, first through An Evening in the Palace of Reason by Gaines and currently through Hofstadter's book on Gödel, Escher and Bach. I began learning how to read sheet music about three years ago and am not proficient yet at it, but there is a very strong appeal to me in the fugue structure. It satisfies something in me. I just printed the sheet music and have begun listening to your instructions. I appreciate your emphasis on body mechanics. As I slowly advance in piano I've begun paying close attention to my wrist movements and voice because the subtleties make an enormous difference. Thank you.

Amazing tutorial , really loving your content . You opened a complete new world to us with your analysis and advices .Thank you Anto ! My son Alexander started learning alone this piece since his teacher did not want to let him play this piece . It gives us some nice paths to learn the piece . Do you have any advices on the best pianos to play when you are still building muscles strengh. On digital pianos and grand pianos(mostly C3 and C5's from conservatory(about 25-40 years old ) Alexander can play quite long sessions with no pain at all with little finger right hand . While on pianos uprights (Schimmels , U3S and german upgrights) , the little pinky is quite sensitve playing BWV 847, he did not have that kind of issue with the Turkish March . He started playing 8 months ago . To sum it up : should we favor heavy upgright keyboard versus light grand ? I would naturally favor light keys over heavy here from a physiological point of view but I am not sure at all . So we mixed short session on heavy keys and longer on Grands. Alex is 12 and his max reach is an octave with his hands , the volume of play is from 20 minutes to 2 + hours /daily depending his mood and the instruments available . Happy Music !
