For some unknown reasons, this piece was ringing in my ears all evening yesterday . . . I guess I have to learn it now.

Beautiful piece, brings back good memories of playing a video-game named Titanic Adventure Out Of Time, first song you hear in the game

the beauty of simplicity. Like all simple things, small details make a huge difference. Control of dynamics, homogeneity of the sound of thirds and sixths are among the difficulties of the piece. Beautifully played Robert :)

Thank you Robert! I am revisiting this piece and always had problems with that long cord in measure 12. You provided a solution for smaller hands!

I was wondering how to solve that too, and although anything else other that a “one stroke chord” will always feel like a cheat to me (just an insecurity thing I must accept), I have no other option since my hands are too small.

Dear Robert.I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to many more of your indepth tutorials on the Beethoven Piano Sonatas and the Chopin Preludes. And if time will allow you, I'd be most thrilled to see as well indepth tutorials of the Bach Well-Tempered Clavier,Preludes and Fugues for both books one and two! God willing! Thanx Robert

Thanks Robert great tip on keeping the top note prominent it really transformed the piece for me and I think it made it easier to play as well somehow!

Good video! Good tip that one about the dynamic differences between the LH and RH when playing softer.

Wonderful. Truly Wonderful. Is there a way you could do an in-depth tutorial for Chopin's Berceuse?

Thank you ! why are you the only one who actually plays the crescendo til the end ?! which is the only way that makes sense for me as well ! especially since I have massive hands and I can actually play that entire insane chord without breaking it down, but all the famous pianists that played this like Arthur Rubinstein plays the last chord softly, even though the scores clearly show the crescendo including it and again, if I would have written that incredibly powerful harmonic chord I would want to hear it in all its glory, so again, why does every one else play is as a resolution to the crescendo instead ?

you're right he totally forgot to answer that question ahahah, in that one5 notes chord, you need quite huge hands to reach all the notes (A#, C# with your thumb, E with your 2nd finger, and then A# C# with your pinky an octave higher!! ) so typically most people would break it down into a quick arpeggio and I find it quite clever that he breaks it down in the middle so he can sustain the top C# which is the actually melody, whereas most pianists typically use their then left hand to go over and hit that high C# (especially in oder times when men wanted to show off and had those specially fluffly shirts that would impress all the ladies when they lifted their hands and especially if that little high C# comes by doing so ! hahah ) I hope this answers your question ^^
