Would love your analysis of Brahms 118.2 !! Thank you for this one. I had avoided these Bach pieces until I stumbled on your videos !! I find left hand more legato and right more detached is a nice combo....and then the other way around. And yes,,,,Gould goes so fast he misses the beauty,,,,,,like running through the Lourve !! All Inventions, I think, should be VERY 'cantabile'

Another viewer commented about Glenn Gould on a previous video - it reminded me that his influence is strongly felt! Which is a little dangerous for our students, given his tempo choices. 😬

@@JannaWilliamson Yes! It's amazing how those more well known performers can really impact a generation of players. I actually found that with lots of RCM recordings in the past that they were SO fast that it was hard to imagine things not at a break neck tempo! [I'm talking old Cassette Recordings and CD's - ya know, from the dark ages when I was a kid. ;) ]

I find it really hard to play this without looking at my fingers (especially bars 3 and 4), so I have to keep looking from the score to the keyboard and back again or wait till I learn the piece off by heart (which is my usual solution, but which I'm trying to stop doing).

Great video! Could the opening subjects in Bach's inventions also be described as motifs?
@JannaWilliamson20 күн бұрын
Yes. A subject is usually a little longer than what I think of as a motif and a slightly more specific term used in Baroque music.

Why no discussion of fingering? There is a lot of difference of opinion about that, and it's very relevant to the phrasing
@JannaWilliamsonАй бұрын
I can’t talk about everything in one video. 😂 Totally agree, it’s vitally important. But it’s also personal. I recommend teachers and students purchase a good edition, try the fingering in it, experiment with places they don’t like, decide, and then be consistent.

I'm searching everywhere: did anybody notice that in 24th bar the time signature really changes to 3/8 or 6/16? I had problems with analysing the melody logically, but if you group it by six sixteenths under one beam (three eighths in left hand), suddenly it becomes perfectly logical regarding to accents 🙂 Best regards from Poland!

Hi Janna! Thanks for another great teaching video. What slow metronome tempo or number would you recommend for students to practice at?
@JannaWilliamson Жыл бұрын
This depends on your student's current maximum tempo. If your student can play it at quarter=80, then a good slow tempo might be around half of that, or maybe a little more than half. So something like eighth=96? Just something that feels REALLY SLOW. 😂

I can play this piece in 20 seconds. So easy after I have downloaded a piano application into my brain and now I am able to play any piano piece with zero practice. With this piano application downloaded into my brain, I am now a concert pianist with zero schooling and zero practice time. So easy. It's a walk in the park.
