Ugh, as a pianist and after watching Nahre play her arpeggios so well, I think I'm gonna spend some time on them again... XD

[@johncotta8288]

She’s an amazing pianist!

[@MoneyAli75]

Me too !

[@jayswizzle57]

I was about to say the same thing lol. I love scales but never practice arpeggios. I think I will start practicing them after watching this.

[@phutureproof]

Ugh? what new nonsense is this I'm gonna have to read everywhere

[@eboone]

@@phutureproof it's... just a word

[@DarkForcesStudio]

"Difficulty level does not correlate to how good the music sounds." You have no idea how much I needed to hear that. 🤣 Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@arunthebuffoon4554]

As someone who grew frustrated with piano because it was hard, I wish I stuck with it. Nahre makes piano sound absolutely beautiful.

[@randallharp7010]

Beautiful playing. Educational video. I have 30+ years using keyboard instruments and I struggle with Level 2. 🙂

[@emreozdemir3164]

because level 2is in fact harder than some of what is on higher levels here, not exactly accurate levels ı'd say, but each to their own

[@ashwild4992]

Level 2 ain't that hard

[@paulsimon6544]

Level 14 is easy!

[@nickk8416]

Take 1870 was priceless! I have trouble with the double hand arpeggios up and down the keyboard. Love your videos and your delightful personality. Your love of music always shines through. Best.

[@NahreSol]

Godowsky’s birth-year (1870) 😂 and thank you…!! 🙏🏻

[@leocarey4550]

@@NahreSolOoh, nice Easter egg! Impressed if you’ve gone very far down the Chopin/Godowsky trail…

[@jaredstrottmann5298]

I love the fluttering sound that level 5 gives. I remember when you first showed it in one of your previous videos, I couldn’t stop listening to it. It puts me in a entranced mood that no other piece or patter has ever done

[@alexanderbayramov2626]

Level 10 being a mix of Liszt's texture and chords which have more 'contemporary' and less 'romanticism' colour sounds absolutely fantastic, seems like almost no one explores this sort of thing, although it sounds like a mix of everything that's great about classical and more contemporary style! Bravo Nahre ❤

[@SerpongeDash]

Reminds me of lubomyr melnyk (illirion, beyond romance) or ravel

[@knowledgeapplied]

0:27 To become as fluent as Nahre in any *sce-Nahre-o* ... what a thrilling prospect! 😅 😊

[@olumideakingbade982]

The Level 10 piece - Triple Layer Arpeggios - really melted me. So beautiful.

[@denise2169]

Nahre, you creativity and musicality know no bounds! I love listening to even your exercises! My favourite channel of all time and I’m still smiling after the video has stopped! 🙂

[@Jimmy.Williams]

Fantastic video, would love to see more 13 Level videos from you. The thing that's great is you're explaining specifically what's going on at each level, referencing classical pieces, but applying it to a more simplified chord progression which makes the learning aspect of it much easier to digest. Bravo!!!

[@DARKLYLIT]

As always.....AMAZING! And beautiful to actually see it played. Thank you Nahre!😁👌😸

[@flonzaley6092]

As ever, a marvellous combination of sound sense/advice and brilliant creative originality.

[@andresolivera7787]

Spitfire audio is my favourite library maker. I am so glad they are sponsoring you. You, a world class pianist. I admire you so much.

[@mariapap8962]

Hello, i'm a pianist and piano-teacher, big fan of your channel and i ESPECIALLY enjoy anything you post on piano- playing and - technique. Thank you! 🙂

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

So awesome of a demo and influential for all, so a big bless for Nahre Sol!

[@emregeylani]

I'm a guitar player but big fan of your videos Nahre, keep up the great work!

[@bach5369]

I find that level 4 and 6 are my favorite and most achievable techniques, now that I know what they're actually called, I can learn them much easier Thanks Nahre :D

[@paulgibby6932]

Enjoyed all the middle ones -- they either were music or sounded like music. And so well and smoothly played. Great tips also. Thanks.

[@viv2199]

Bravo, Nahre!! Wonderful and so beautiful, as always!

[@alecsnider3225]

I just love how effortless you make this appear.

[@purepuresound4671]

This tutorial is just pure gold. Grazie maestra!

[@igo.spekkyjarvonvreich]

that sound when you change levels was so beautiful also good composing

[@waltergiz]

Nahre, you are fantastic! It's a pleasure to watch your videos, all inspiring and challenging! Brava! Thank you!

[@DanielAlvarezVeizaga]

This is a really complete compendium for piano-arpeggi. Really useful, Thank you Nahre!

[@admortor]

Level 10 reminded me of Ravel's Une barque sur l'ocean ❤ arpeggios with different rhythmic patterns that need to sound consistent while emulating sea waves 🌊

[@androidkenobi]

Wow, today I sought out Nahre's channel bc i was perplexed by the "too low" note in the score of Une barque. Google tells me the first bosendorfer with extra bass notes was built 1909, but that's 3-4 yrs after miroirs.

[@AashwinPatki]

Thanks Nahre! This is just so awesome!! While playing arpeggios with long stretches, it is best to bring the hand to a relaxed position after the notes are played. Something I think is helpful while playing the difficult variations. Examples 0:53 Level 1 1:09 Level 2 1:35 Level 3 1:47 Level 4 2:44 Level 5 3:06 Level 6 4:19 Level 7a 4:28 Level 7b 5:47 Level 8a 6:00 Level 8b 6:19 Level 9 6:46 Level 10 (My favorite!) 7:18 Level 11 8:16 Level 12 9:25 Level 13 - This reminds me of Amédée Méreaux Etudes.

[@jayswizzle57]

You’re fingers are so graceful. It’s really beautiful to watch.

[@OzouneSundalyah]

Hi Lady Nahre. Thank you very much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and breaking it down in soluble portions that even a beginner can understand. You are truly amazing and awe inspiring indeed and in deed!

[@Jestunes]

You'll probably never read this but I just wanted to say you are INCREDIBLE. To say the least. Thanks for the awesome tips and lessons. A most grateful fan...

[@shadowjuan2]

I’m currently studying Op 10 no. 1, it really takes a lot of practice to play those cascading up and down arpeggios really well at quick tempo. Patience, patience, patience is all I can say!

[@JonahLim19]

I just watched your WIRED video on the 16 levels of complexity for playing the Happy birthday song. Wow! The adding of beats and changing its style really inspired me!

[@rd-um4sp]

So awesome. Could listen to you the whole day (even if I never had the discipline to practice it myself)

[@kerawelt2008]

Nahre Sol, you are the deal ! Your art is just amazing !

[@eydiguttason1961]

Thank you Nahre here from Aalborg Danmark it helps a lot God bless I'm pianist in Aalborg privilegium churches and institution

[@vaniasetti7753]

outstanding content, advice , accuracy, delivery... fabulous. thank you Nahre!

[@helenspiano]

All I have to say: You are a genius!

[@rickmorales2113]

Wow, excellent! Every example clear and sounding great. Thank you!!

[@LawrenceSolon]

I'm so inspired to write my own arpeggio exercises after watching this, thank you so much, you're amazing.

[@anonymous.29]

Always love your videos ❤️🔥

[@user-mr2to1vb2p]

Thank you for the advice you provide for practicing arpeggios, I really struggle with them so I am very appreciative

[@topturretgunner]

I can only say……WOW! As a non pianist but a lover of classical piano I appreciate the difficulty of that which Nahre has just shared. Thank you Nahre.

[@darintriplett7697]

Just an Amazing Tutorial by Such an accomplished Pianist. Thank you for taking the Time To Inspire others.😊❤

[@bongimus]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for this fantastic video!

[@zechordlord]

Working on that Chopin op 10 no.1 seriously these days. I found that it is the best piece for exploring relaxation of the hand, which is imperative to performing it at high speed. Any unnecessary tension and you'll wave goodbye to your wrists/tendons after a few runs.

[@jojobeanz2981]

I love this channel so much. You are part of what redeems the internet. 🙏❤️

[@juanferestrada]

Such a good and entertaining video Nahre! you are amazing.

[@user-ff1ez5sy5h]

Wow. Very impressive. As always, thx 👍 ...and level 12 was absolutely insane to me. Bravo!

[@davidrichards1295]

Excellent Pianist & Musicianship. God bless you.

[@piggly-wiggly]

That was fascinating for making sense of classical compositions, which I, as a non-musician, always thought of as a semi-arbitrary collection of notes. At least now I can recognize some of the patterns of arpeggios if I see sheet music. As for playing, I'm afraid I'll need a level before level 1.

[@craigdouglas9979]

Your technique is a joy to see.

[@marcobega5152]

You have inspired me to seek help from people who understand music software for composing, arranging, studio audio,...and as you very humbly do, so have I...and am finding kind and helpful people, who are willing to teach what they know I was abroad and I returned to Italy for a short time .... I take the scores of Bach's Urtext with me ... and I take them with me. Start over. Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@funwithmadness]

I'm not a piano player, but I still enjoy watching this type of video to give me ideas on how to practice harmonica. There are some interesting bits in here that I think would transfer over.

[@fortissimoX]

I guess that level of difficulty also depends a lot on the size of one's hands. It seems to me that's quite important for arpeggios. Thank you for the video and I wish you all the best!

[@darylm1072]

Loved levels five and ten! Amazing, Nahre!!

[@shanemcknight1583]

Appreciate the tips and instruction!!!

[@iliyakhramov4381]

Fantastic content, your knowledge and explanations are amazing.

[@christophermitchum6829]

Excellent masteries of the keys!!!

[@chanhnguyen2215]

Ms. Sol , you are a good pianist also a good piano instructor . Thank you.

[@restartgame_2820]

Thank you very much! I will make sure to remember this when practicing.

[@robertoa.m.3984]

You are an absolute genius 😮

[@williamhenning4320]

Awesome. Really like these technique videos

[@warrensha]

Just impressive, it was incredible.

[@DJHolte]

Thanks for the little tips you include in these videos, Nahre. I'm an intermediate level pianist (on my best day), but for some time now, I've been wanting to one day master the 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata. (My favorite version of which is by Jeno Jando.) Every time I sit down to work on it, it just seems incredibly daunting. Your suggestion to start by just playing the chords seems like such a simple concept, but something tells me it's what I've been looking for to help me get to the next level. That and a lot more scales practice. 😉

[@Arivakrish]

I like most of your Videos Nahre Sol and this one is particularly good. Thank you😊

[@JCNOS]

Increible Video! la explicación y la calidad es de excelencia, gracias por tu trabajo y compartilo.

[@wannacoffy4915]

Brilliant as always! Thank you🙌🏻

[@oscarmusowoya9619]

This is so inspiring indeed. I have home work to do thank you for reminding me😊

[@TriplicateTrey]

I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you so much. For real.

[@MelodyMilestones-qq9jg]

Great stuff! Your arpeggios are next level 😍😍

[@franciscojesusmoctezumacua4692]

Thankyou for this wonderful piano class.

[@Niloctronic]

Nice video and awesome technique!

[@Nekoandpiano]

I was waiting for 1-10)) Loved this etude)

[@Gbdevaux]

Thank you for the advice! I think I want to try and learn Beethoven’s piece mentioned in the fourth level. Arpeggios continue to be quite difficult for me, and I think this would be an excellent way to improve, even if only slowly :)

[@LinsMusicMinistries]

I’ve only watched 2 or 3 videos. I love you already. Subscribed (doesn’t happen often)

[@movieman203]

Thak you Nahre. This is the video I needed.

[@Dalicat]

Thank you this was excellent!

[@smitlag]

I have studied (listened lol) the Godowski Etudes as well as the Alkan Etudes, and they seem impossible. But after hearing Hamelin nail them, I am convinced he is an extraterrestrial. I think the Chopin Etudes hit the sweet spot of perfecting a technical challenge while reachable to aspiring concert pianists. And they remain beautiful to listen to as well. Liszt took it even further well into the realm of the technical demands a modern concert pianist needs to overcome.

[@davidknizek2852]

7:02 I WAS WAITING FOR THIS 😭omg i love these

[@sfmmmo7599]

Thank u for the video 💖💖

[@hlpianin]

Great job! Thank you for video!

Had to watch twice, because you play so beautifully. Never did I expect to love I-IV-V-I like this. :)

This is dope!💥

[@petersonnormil6799]

great video! gonna try to implement some of these into my warm ups !

your videos are always a great source of motivation for me to practice haha

YES this is the plateau buster I’ve been waiting for!

Your finger skills are insane!

[@flmason]

Wow you are a great player and teacher both! Kudos. Love your vids.

[@costasyiannourakos6963]

The last step, though humanly impossible to perform, did add musical value finally!!

[@ANICETONANOS]

Waiting for your webinar today : Practice Like a Pro with Randall Faber and Nahre Sol. Sooooo excited!!!

[@justxigoldenix9909]

Nice, I think this is great info for anyone, especially the self taught (personally, violin is my main instrument). I really like un sospiro by lizt, im going to try and finish learning that absolute wild ride of a piece. Thanks for the useful info 👍

[@mcfahk]

very clear, very clever, very cool.

[@charlyfreedomdammit]

Amazing Nahre!...

[@phm8462]

I have small hands so the maximum i can stretch is to the 9th key. As a result arpeggio practice used to irk me. Now I'm motivated to keep practicing until I'm fluid. Hopefully like you one day ❤

[@aarontangel2461]

I can't believe this is free! Peak quality content!!!!!!!
