Your teaching is really precious. Subscribed and thumb up from Greenland. Thank you❤

Great! I would recommend learning a piece 'takt' by 'takt'. I mean the squares (can't remember the English word).

Measure or bar

[@StevenMassicotte]

I believe that was Sviatoslav Richter's response to the question, how do you learn such a difficult piece? "One bar at a time."

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

@@StevenMassicotte oh really? I only heard him say that he does it page at a time (in the Richter the Enigma film he says this). I guess you like Richter because so did Gould - I also like Richter and Gould but I have to say I prefer Horowitz and F.Gulda. My favourite is Hoffman. Have you heard Gulda's WTC? He recorded both books twice. I love the soft tone he gets. I don't much like his loud pieces in the WTC, I suppose. I like Gould's Beethoven (but not his terribly slow Appassionata).

Love the bust on the piano. Reminds me of that Victor Borge joke where Mozart was just a bust and went from here to here. 😂

[@StevenMassicotte]

Yes I love that one! I watched him since I was a child. There is also a skit with the muppets and a Beethoven bust that talks.

Good! 🎶👏👏

Really enjoyed watching this with your advice, especially with fixing wrong notes. Your voice is coming through clearly. Would you be able to share what brand it is?

[@StevenMassicotte]

It is the Shure mx150.

[@StevenMassicotte]

There's also a Rode NT1000 in the back

[@TijuanaBorderJumper]

Hi! 😳😉😃 Great advice as always. And Bach is the best to teach from if you want to be great 😳😃❤

[@avyeris]

Please help me practicing this piece with both hands, I can do pretty well separate. Also how do you sight read for both hands without getting confused ?

[@Sloimer]

Slow practice.

[@kristinamusik7414]
