How I Modify a Chopin Etude

[@arastoomii4305]

This is actually how every pianist should think about music. You are so rare gift to music and musicians ♥️

[@noahmaillouxmusic]

I third this. It's such a refreshing perspective on everything

[@NahreSol]

Ari MVPDL thank you so much!!! 🙏

[@nupfe]

I'm with you.

[@vybzkartel9695]

I don't understand any of this but for some reason I can't stop watching

[@ajjivackovic1782]

I feel like people will be studying you in about 100 years, it's really well principled, fresh, new tonal music and I like it

[@NahreSol]

...wow what a compliment! thank you so much!!

[@ajjivackovic1782]

Nahre Sol Ya welcome innit, you're so well learned, I am inspired

[@TomRivieremusic]

She is an inspiration to all of us and great kind hearted lovely women. A teacher that makes you think about motivation to better yourself.

[@adlfm]

Fascinating! You're a goldmine of new, original approaches to music.

[@NahreSol]

Albert de la Fuente thank you!!!

[@phillynash]

These are the types of notes and sequences I hear in my head....[writes down Dorian and Mixolydian]. This is a GREAT reference video. Thanks, Nahre!

[@tttony]

Being trained effectively enough at any given skill to the point where you can become creative- now THAT is attractive!

[@Dhooparty]

So awesome Nahre! The combination of Dorian and Mixolydian sounds so great, I had no idea they melded together so well.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@alicewyan]

I just found out about your channel and I'm absolutely loving it, so sad I stopped playing so long ago and have lost my skill, but your videos are making me want to start again!

[@NahreSol]

Start again! I vote for you starting again little by little 😊

[@npelletier89]

Ya this is insanely cool! It offers insight on the actual Etude, and then what you can take from it.

[@hyramjackson]

Brilliant, multiply that for every scale in every mode and you have and infinity of possibilities. Cheers

[@NahreSol]

Yep!! Thanks 😊

[@MCRedstoneFR]

This is sooooo cool... Seriously, your videos single-handedly make my day, every single time!

[@NahreSol]

Emimi100 🙏🙏🙏 thank you! Your comment made my day 😍

[@Roh0io]

Just awesome! You are a musical genius! !

[@NahreSol]

Castillo Piano Composition thank you 😂😊

[@mantictac]

One of my most favorite etudes!

[@NahreSol]

Me too! It's underplayed compared to the others...

[@RiquezaIntegrativa]

You are a great teacher. Congratulations!

[@NahreSol]

Thank you so much!!

[@ronhammett2635]

A good teacher makes you think. Nahre makes you think.

[@NahreSol]

[@NahreSol]

Luis Ortiz thank you Luis!!!

[@mymusic-gq9fn]

Thank you great! I love little doggy. So loved!

[@NahreSol]

my music thank you!! My dog says hi 🐶😁

[@mymusic-gq9fn]

Awww cute😁🍉

[@Secure81]

I will be brainstorming ways to use these ideas on the guitar. Because it'll take me about another decade before I could become good enough at piano to use any of this! Really cool video.

[@NahreSol]

Amazing 😊 Thank you!!!

[@DuoJD]

AMAZING!! Very creative - thanks for sharing!

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!! :))

[@nihil8471]

Wow, this is simply brilliant! I mean, there are a lot of piano channels on KZbin but yours really stands out for your creativity! Keep going :)

[@NahreSol]

Thank you so much!! 🙏

[@ricardo_valerio]

she even makes me smile alone and everything

[@NahreSol]

🙈🙈🙈

[@douglas2747]

Your videos are educational and inspiring. Thank you for sharing! Have you considered making a video around Chopin op 25 no 5? I’d be so curious...

[@FahriAliImran]

I just discovered your channel and i immediately want to dust off my classical piano sheets

[@thomasmcgill6918]

Once again, thank you so much...

[@NahreSol]

thomas mcgill thank you!!

[@Cloudkusanagui]

Once again you get a great example of how to be a good composer and improviser - wich is finding good tools on great compositions and making them your own to use in a variety of contexts. Loved the technical practice breakdown too - quick and clear on how you fix some commom mistakes with this kind of formation, probably. Missed you being on the outside and being more extroverted with your delightful jokes, tho. Bobby is cute as always. Thank you for the great content!!

[@NahreSol]

Thanks so much!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@NahreSol]

Bobby says hello 🐶

[@saleasylum]

You are crazy in a good way.

[@Yuvallevari]

Brilliant!

[@NahreSol]

Yuval lev-ari thank you!!! 😊

[@angkhangnguyen5017]

that intro is r a v e l

[@temubersama355]

Great!, Awesome!.

[@EternalEvanesce]

This one as wellll Omg!! Please write a piece with the introoooo. Omg!!

[@soyoltoi]

I love the harmony used here. Do you know any good resources on using modal harmony in classical music (like in impressionism)?

[@TimondeNood]

Awesome Nahre!

[@NahreSol]

Timon de Nood thank you Timon!!

[@stephenharrison3221]

Amazing!! This is soo great! Thnx! ☺️

[@NahreSol]

thank you Stephen!!

[@nupfe]

I love this. Now I have something to work on. It's sometimes hard to follow your fingers, but hey ... now I have something to develop my ears too :-).So ... no complaint ;-) With pausing and slow down the speed I will figure it out. One Question: Your Chopin Book: Is it a printed Version? I would love to have it printed out, but I'm not sure, if the shipping to Germany is to complicated and expensice.Or is it a E-book (PDF)?

[@marcuskruse1]

I want to ask why? I'm not a pianist so although what you're doing is amazing, why are you making each of these modifications? What is the advantage to your playing?

[@practician5730]

practice exercises for practice exercises :D

[@marcusvaldes]

Wheels within wheels man....

[@johntovar9325]

Now you can practice while you practice

[@noahmaillouxmusic]

Awesome! Really neat sounds, like always. Nahre, what video editor do you use?

[@NahreSol]

Calmlands Piano thank you!! I use final cut pro x

[@RalphDratman]

I love that! But why so much pedal starting around 0:49 and then again at 0:59, and so forth? I find that distracting. It makes it harder to hear the notes crisply, I mean obviously legato is not staccato, but is there a particular purpose for using the pedal? (I apologize if this is a dumb or obnoxious comment. I enjoy your videos.)

[@NahreSol]

Thank you! I personally liked the sound and contrast with the pedal, that's all :)

[@robertbrown1778]

I see Bobby's been practicing too. Nahre, great interview with Jeff Schneider. Q: Do you ever practice a tricky passage too fast and then tidy it up afterwards? Or do you always try to play perfectly clean? It's a debate in guitar circles: some say always start slowly and perfectly otherwise it's practicing mistakes. Others argue that you can't learn speed by playing slow any more than you can learn to run by practicing walking, because they're different mechanics. Any thoughts?

[@NahreSol]

Yes! Haha Bobby 😂 To answer your question -- there are ways to practice fast if not faster than your final tempo, without resorting to so much "sloppy" practicing. I think the key is to do it in short bursts, even from note to note (dotted rhythm practice achieves this) or with short phrases. That being said, there's no need to be overly concerned about the science of all this, as long as in general you are practicing more on the offensive, cleaner side, I consider it successful practicing. Hope that helps!

[@robertbrown1778]

Yes, you mentioned that in the Jeff Schneider interview and I think that makes sense for piano particularly. Probably in the case of guitar "picking" technique, it's that players often have a very different technique to play fast as opposed to slow, so taking a 'run' at it maybe gives some clues as to what their fast technique might look like. Thanks for the answer.

[@zeroossi5967]

Make video on chopin ocean étude please

[@marcusvaldes]

My daughter has a little white Coton de Tulear that looks just like yours that she carries everywhere.

[@NahreSol]

So sweet!!

[@fjrsm]

Super video as always, Nahre! What's the piece that you play at 2:41? Cheers!

[@NahreSol]

thank you!! that was just a bit of music I improvised to use at the end of the video :) (using this technique a bit)

[@alessandropl7888]

which is the name of the initial piece ?

[@RogerShirodkar]

Just Awesome ♥️♥️🇮🇳

[@NahreSol]

Roger Shirodkar thank you!!! 🙏

[@ronhammett2635]

I do not play piano ,this may be a dumb question. Why the index and thumb on the same note?

[@NahreSol]

Because for the piece, you are required to use those two fingers back to back on the same note very fast. Playing the note with those two fingers simultaneously trains them to get used to being in that position

[@lvduo]

cool

[@NahreSol]

lvduo thank you!! 😊

[@1Like_1]
