[@letiziasz2490]

Thank you so much!! I’ve been struggling with this movement the entire year but now it’s finally coming together! Forever grateful for your tips!!! 😭💕💕💕

[@calvinhu8922]

Danae thank you for making this video, it's a video that is really helping people to be able to play and it's a video benefits beginners, thank you, you are a true teacher

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation. How to avoid building strain during the arpeggios with an almost still wrist?

[@Saxoholic6305]

Just found your channel, great teaching. Thank you. I have a lot of videos to catch up on. Cheers

Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏻

[@verymozart]

Yes, quite helpful indeed 👍

[@metgirl5429]

This makes me want to be a better pianist🖤🎹🎼 Thank you 🎹

🤗🙏🏻

[@toddandrews2222]

Very helpful. I"ve been working on the piece for some time, the parts you discussed were exactly the parts I was having the most difficulty with...particularly the trills on octaves. I will try using the 3/4 for the trill rather than 4/5. The second trill is more difficult for me. Thank you!

Vielen Dank! Ein lockeres Handgelenk, die Hand eine Kuppel und nur aus den Fingern gespielt - und selbst im Tempo sind die Arpeggios endlich mühelos zu spielen. Der Ratschlag einiger anderer Pianisten, mit dem Handgelenk zu rotieren hat bei mir eher Spannung erzeugt ohne dass die gewonnenen Positionen diese haben auflösen können. Deine Technik-Enyzklopädie ist ein Segen und vielleicht das Beste, das YT zu bieten hat! Liebe Grüße, Giacomo

Danke, das freut mich so sehr, dass die Übungen und Techniken weiterhelfen! 🙏🏻

[@Sokolovpianist249]

I had been waiting for this one!!! Thank you so much for this immensely helpful tutorial. I will be following all your suggestions.

You are so welcome!

[@davedahan]

Got an astronomy lesson from her name. Danae is an asteroid belt and Perseus is a constellation, etc.😁✨

I decided a month ago that it was time to finish this sonata. I think you practically covered the most important things to get through the movement since it repeats a lot with slights variations. Probably another good advice for someone who will start to learn it would be to start studying it from the end. The movement is very long and you need to build the necessary stamina to get through and also to memorize it extremely well. Also, the end is probably one of the most difficult parts or the most difficult one of the movement. You definitely wanna to sound great after getting depressed, give a little hope and release the whole storm with this movement. FYI you have worked pretty well your trills, but I am not sure if musically fits better when reaching a tempo where you are clustering too many notes. I think is better to practice less notes and possibly add a couple of notes after you have built some of the strength to play with those fingers. I find more convenient to release the octave, even if your hand is big enough to hold while trilling. You can barely notice you have released the octave, the tempo is very fast and musically you gain nothing.

Yes I actually agree with you on the trill and releasing the octave. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻

What a coincidence, I made a comment 4 days ago on your video "EFFECTIVE ways to PRACTICE ARPEGGIOS on the PIANO" about the difficulty of the arpeggios at the end of the moonlight sonata and now I get a detailed answer. Thank you very much! At the start of this piece, You play the staccato with the left hand between 5 and 2. On my score it is written between 3 and 1 and from the 5th bar between 4 and 1. I think your method is better, but it will be very difficult to unlearn something that I have been playing that way for 2 years.

Sometimes, a new fingering can be the exact change you need. Slow practice helps with re-learning fingerings. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻

[@anmeirdi]

@ Thanks a lot for the tips. I started with the refingering and see that my hands are in a better position for the next bars. IOt is indeed the change I need. Unbelievable that a wrong fingering was noted on my score. I wish you a good time in South Africa!

[@semperreg]

Un grand merci pour toutes ces informations ! Après avoir visionné la vidéo, j'ai relu la partition. En soi ("per se" en latin), la partition n'est pas difficile, mais une pianiste professionnelle montre une telle maîtrise que cela nous montre le chemin. Personnellement, j'utilise beaucoup de tes indications. Mon échauffement est juste un peu plus long, car il est complété avec des manques techniques.

Merci beaucoup!!

[@barryo5158]

Great! This is invaluable information about how to practice. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@gerrylake]

Remarkable technique at 8:33.

[@faytpierre4726]

👍

[@richardforshaw8479]

I understand now how to plan my hand mvt. a millisecond before the next block- it’s crucial to do this for the overall velocity isn’t it.? I really enjoy watching your hands at work as much as listening to you play. 😊 I

Yes, exactly!!

[@didier6609]

Hello Danae merci superbe video très bonnes explications qui aident énormément.. Pourriez vous faire la même sur l etude op 25 n 12 de F Chopin ? Greeting from France

[@Sully365]

i'm really mad at myself, i watched like ..a LOT of your vids and forget to subscribe. so I fixed that. i am desperately trying to understand your method of quickly playing and it ...well, it will take me a while :) thanks for all of the work you put into this!

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!!

[@quezacot]

Thanks for sharing! I recently memorized this piece but was unable to speed it up. I will try your tips :) Another place I feel difficult is the chord added in the beginning of the arpeggios when repeats (bar 65). I keep pressing the wrong key during these fast jumps 😂

All the best for your practice of this piece! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@scorama]

Thank you for sharing your way to praxis. I played the Moonlight Sonata years ago, but I could only play the third movement at a speed about 120. As I remember it should be played at 160. Maybe I should go back to it, and try your exercises on it?

Yes give it another try! 💪🏻 thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@batboy242]

Awesome video, you are not so bad either! Lol thank you Danae

😊 thank you

[@nevetsny1]

That repeated c# the last two arpeggios are tough. You're jumping from 5th to 1st finger. And it's easy for the 3, 4, 5 fingers to collapse. Can't figure that bit out other than pure velocity.

[@anmeirdi]

A difficulty that is little discussed in the lessons dealing with this piece is the pedaling. There are only a few notes in the score itself when pedaling should be used. Does this mean that one is not allowed to use the pedal for the rest of the piece? When one has mastered this piece after a long period of practice, it turns out that "over pedaling" is sometimes used to mask the imperfections.

I would say that using the pedal is necessary but would definitely agree with you that there is a big danger of over pedaling in order to mask insecurities.

What's in a name? If you're gonna have a name, it may as well be a name worth remembering. Danae, you've got one of the best.😁❤️ "Danae was the daughter of Acrisius and Aganippe. A prophecy about her said that the child she bore would kill Acrisius, and Acrisius, fearing this, shut her in a stone-walled prison. But Jove [Zeus], changing into a shower of gold, lay with Danae, and from this embrace Perseus was born In Greek mythology, Perseus is the legendary founder of Mycenae and of the Perseid dynasty. He was, alongside Cadmus and Bellerophon, the greatest Greek hero and slayer of monsters before the days of Heracles. He beheaded the Gorgon Medusa for Polydectes and saved Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus.

Very hard movement...

[@renat-el9114]

Переведите на русский язык, пожалуйста, что она говорит.

[@fionabegonia7802]

Those are not "arpeggios". They are broken chords.

[@1tubax]

That's what broken chords are 😭😭
