So timely for me. After 9 concussions and 50 yrs away from the piano, I'm challenged by the speed. I , too, break it up in sections. Thank you for this gift! So nice to meet you!🎉

I love these short practical tutorials. To the point and without unnecessary digressions. The longer analysis videos are very interesting but when practicing a piece having distilled and concentrated information like this is a real time saver. Pozdrawiam z Warszawy!

Thank you for the tutorial. How do you approach the quintuplets in the middle section. Do you just play some notes in the gaps of the triplets or do you try to play a precise 5:6 polyrhythm?

Hello, thanks for the great course, very helpful. Any comment on the time signature? 2/8 is strange isn't it? I would be interested to know your thoughts about it.

Wow! I just started studying Chopin's preludes. Everything was going pretty well until the 8th prelude.😅 By the way, did you notice that every 8th prelude is marked by a special difficulty? 8, 16 and 24 are the most difficult preludes.

professor, thank you for your efforts in uploading these videos. It is so helpful. And...May I ask you something? In some records, the middle notes are barely audible to me. Rubinstein, Seong jin cho etc... It sounds like, they don't even touch the middle notes! I have been very confused about this. How did they make sounds like that? of course It sounds beautiful, but I'm just curious. I wonder if they don't actually touch, or if they just touch quietly and discreetly. Do you also think that in the end, we better practice the right hand part separately and then muffle the sound of the middle notes as much as possible?
@gregniemczuk8 ай бұрын
Well, that's the question!!!! I really don't know why. It seems like they didn't SEE that the melody is written in the thumb.... To me it's also strange and shocking. I'm going to record the Preludes next month and I'll definitely be singing with the thumb. That's what I see in the score. I think that sometimes pianists, even the greatest ones, don't go deeper into the score.... Practicing separately is always a good idea
@STAFF-y5p8 ай бұрын
@@gregniemczukI see. thank you for your kind answer. I have no teacher to ask this question and I think It seems like, there is no opinion about this matter on online, so I thought it is silly question myself 😅 I’m definitely gonna practice by your advice … and upload it youtube:) thank you professor, I’m looking forward your recordings!!!!
