good

[@leikeize4781]

you give extremely detailed tutorials on all of these pieces, i appreciate the work that you do.

[@Antune]

Glad you like them! Many thanks.

[@wedemeyerr]

The professional level of that video is absolutely stunning. And I mean not only the tutorial but also the quality of the video. Graphical effects, sound from the off, camera motion, etc. I'm speechless!!!

[@Antune]

Glad to hear! Thank you very much!

I am 50 years old. I started studying piano 1 year and 10 months ago. Your class guided me to new horizons. Thanks for imparting knowledge!

[@LukeSchneiderEWI]

That's awesome , Mauricio ! I started at 50 too....but on wind synth ...I play a trumpet patch on it . I play a Chopin piece ,Nocturne Op. 9 no. 1 , and now I'm learning number 2 ! I watch these videos for tips on how to play it ....even if not on piano !👍😛

[@johnofark9977]

this piece is rarely played with the proper expression throughout, drives me crazy because when its right, its beautiful. if enough people watch this video, you might just change that. thank you for talking about music.

[@londonsounds6212]

Please do you have a link for a video where it is played well?

[@exiledkenkaneki701]

Almost anyone I've seen playing this plays with beautiful expressions and enough clarity to hold the piece justice, what's with the classical mfs and their elitist bs

[@dunno2437]

it's absolutely insane that this is free content. This is my favorite piece that I can play and you've made me see even more beauty in it and helped me improve it. Don't be disappointed if your channel is not as popular as others, you have much more quality advice but because it's more advanced there's a smaller viewer base for you.

[@flamencokey]

What a great tutor you are! The way you explain and Interpret all those fascinating details and guidances reminds me of Glenn Gould’s Trilogy, and your narrative is no less artistic than a BBC documentary, from the bottom of my heart. Bravo!

[@Antune]

Thank you for the generous comment! So glad to hear you enjoy my content. P. S. Glenn Gould is on top of my favorite pianist list. :) I wish you lots of joy in your practicing sessions!

[@thepianotramp]

Fully agree I love your tutorial!

[@frengkypaw6880]

This is sooooo professional, the best nocturne op.9 no.2 i ever heard.

[@ciarel]

Your tutorials are hands down the best and most effective on YT Not just for learning the particular piece, but also for building skills. I learned about "voicing" for example in your Chopin's E minor Prelude and it has since added so much to the color and musicality of my playing across pieces Also, it would be so amazing if you can cover Ravel's pavane pour une infante too! Thanks :)

[@Antune]

Thank you for the generous comment! I am pleased to hear you can implement the techniques I explain in different pieces. That’s the goal for sure! I wish I could tell you when I can make a video on Ravel’s Pavane. However, it takes weeks to make a video as I am doing it all by myself, next to my concerts, lessons, and daily life :) What I can tell, though, is that it will be the first video of Ravel on my channel as it is a very special piece for me!

[@ciarel]

Glad to hear it's on your list! Will be an amazing addition no matter when. Meanwhile, there are several other of your tutorials that I'm still completing. Thank you!

[@libertypastor1307]

Thank you for this lesson. I learned a lot, especially about fingering. I never had piano lessons, but taught myself. I read the books that my older brothers took lessons from just so I could know how to play the notes in the songs they played that I liked the most. The first song I had a desire to learn was "Ragtime Raggles" in John Thompson's Easiest Piano Course, Book 1. I couldn't get it out of my head, but when I saw the music (page 21), I had no way of knowing how to play it. So to keep from having to sit still for lessons, which I just could not bear to do, I secretly read the book from the beginning, until I understood what notes to play with what fingers in that song. Once I learned that song, I progressed to other more difficult pieces. Eventually, I memorized over 11 pieces from John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano, Books 2 and 3. I would work for days, weeks or months to memorize all the notes. Then I would practice them until I could make them sound beautiful. My parents never made me take lessons, seeing I could play songs better than all but one of my brothers that did have lessons! Eventually I took on Moonlight Sonata (1st movement only), several Chopin Preludes (the prettiest sounding ones: 4,6,15,20,22), a Chopin Nocturne, DeBussy's "Reverie" and a few other pieces. All that, to say, at the age of 68, I finished memorizing this Nocturne that you are teaching. It took me 8-10 months just to memorize it. I tried when I was in college, but failed to navigate jumping from chord to chord, so I only learned the right hand! This past year, I put my mind to it, and succeeded. I am now working on making it as beautiful as possible. I like my interpretation better than yours, but I cannot execute as well as you, of course. I can never play any song all the way through without making mistakes, but I sure enjoy playing, and making it sound as beautiful as possible. Recently, I stopped in at a piano store and played it (as well as Chopin's Prelude No. 6). The store owner and customers crowded around, and expressed that I play beautifully. How satisfying! Thank you for the things I learned from this video. There were at least three things that helped me. Thank you again!!

These videos make me feel like im actually in a piano lesson. Your descriptions make it feel as if I was actually moving the wrist or etc just as said

[@FedericoGasparUsardi]

27:56 and 28:03 Definetly my favourite parts. Your playing is amazingly beautiful

[@McZeppoLoligo]

I started to learn the piano as an adult. You are helping me with your tutorial on chopin prelude no 6 a lot. I stumbled on this new video of yours while browsing the channel. I want to tell you that the content you create is simply fantastic! There is few content available that can compare! You deserve way more attention! Thanks for the great tutorials :))

[@Antune]

Thank you for the kind words! Happy to hear you enjoy the videos I make. I wish you the best with your piano journey!

Wait a minute I thought piano tutorials are supposed to have bright flashing guitar hero sparkles! 🎉🎉🎉

[@davidmurphy9351]

Outstanding video - many thanks. I especially found intriguing the idea of the left hand keeping the exact pulse and the right hand being kind of pulled along reluctantly.

[@melodyli7841]

This is one of the best tutorial videos! Just a note though, if you could keep the camera static when you give a full view of the piano board from the top, that would be helpful. Kind of feeling dizzy/difficult to keep track of your movement when the camera moves along with your body/head.

[@chyong-linglin6223]

謝謝！

[@Nakameguro97]

Absolutely AMAZING instruction!!! Coming from Classical and Baroque, this feels like the true Art of Piano, especially the insight of the independence of the right and left hands, and the expectation of some syncopation. Thank you so much for posting your lesson. SUBSCRIBED.

[@Antune]

Glad you think so! Many thanks

[@explogeek]

That was an interesting lesson. It's cool to see how people make variants of the same pieces. I prefer the one by Rosseaux personally. Though at my skill level and my progress on the piece, it's mostly a struggle to play the notes at all lol, but I still try to make it sound as nice as possible and give it my personal touch, playing notes how I feel them.

[@Antune]

Keep it up!

[@yvonnemilner538]

Hey Antune! Thank you for the amazing tutorial, I started learning this piece because of you, and I'm finishing it soon! 😊 I also found an error in your sheet music: at bar 16 on the second beat the notes in the left hand aren't where they should be compared to the right hand (but they are notated correctly in the video) Super great (and free!) sheet music though, so I can't complain😅

At 5:04 is where I'm at stuck..I am no sight reader...if I try to read the score and play it would take me forever so I just look at you tube videos or I watch the synthesia versions just to see what notes I need ...but I know this is taking a short cut and if I would go through the learning process of learning to read the notes in the long run I will be better.

[@littlejOwnsU]

Hey so I have been working on Scarlatti’s sonata in b minor k 87 and just need some advice on one technique that I assume is common in Scarlatti. It’s the 6th intervals in the right hand. It’s hard to have them be fluid and connected, even with peddle. Do you have any suggestions on how to peddle the measures with consecutive 6th intervals? It’s eighth notes in 3/4, so maybe every quarter note?

[@Antune]

I am afraid I cannot answer this question with a comment because it is a complex issue. Hopefully, I’ll make a video on K.87 in a few months! I can say, though, to focus primarily on connecting the upper notes of the 6ths because it is more essential to play legato in the melodic layer. Good luck!

[@littlejOwnsU]

@@Antune thank you for the reply! I’ll try working on connecting the upper notes and continue experimenting with the peddle

[@Israelwinner-u3u]

Hii, thanks for the lesson, I'd like to know what tempo should I set my metronome, it says 132 the quaver note does it mean I should set my metronome at 66 for a black note?

[@Antune]

Hey there, you are welcome! I am afraid I am not sure what you mean by black note. But I can say that 66 bpm isn't the best choice as that's equal to a quarter note. 44 bpm would equal a dotted quarter note, but it's too slow. So I recommend you play at 132 bpm for the eighth note, as suggested. Good luck!

[@Israelwinner-u3u]

@@Antune okay, I'm going to play at that tempo, maybe I should get better at rubato, so the feeling is better... Thanks a lot for your response!!
