Piano Masterclass | Godowsky's Octave Exercises

[@JD-qd5zp]

To have all of what he is saying explained you only need to remember 2 Ks. Kullak and Kuhlau They both did a book of octave exercises. If I remember correctly the Kullak is best. It teaches the same thing as this video It improved my octave playing greatly.

Fantastic videos, great demonstration. Thanks!

[@DJKroehnadus]

Hey I tried your tipps and they really immediately helped me. :) It feels now more comfortable for me to do Octaves.

[@DJKroehnadus]

Ich habe keine Ahnung warum ich auf Englisch kommentiert habe. xD

[@neslisahsatici9570]

[@eqxotiC]

[@edtskyline]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@MarchandMusic]

Where did the Neuhaus quote come from? An article? A book? I have never seen this before. Thank you.

[@carmirobertcruceru1395]

The art of piano playing. H Neuhaus. Very recommend book.

[@raphaelneves7666]

Thank you for the exercise.

[@PhilipChristian]

Wonderful A++

[@PointyTailofSatan]

What is somewhat amusing is that of all his contemporary composers, Godowsky probably used fewer octaves, at least in the left hand, than most others. His harmonic development was just too good for simple octave fill.

Exclellent ...

[@thephilosopher666]

Can you explain how to play octaves cprrectly on a black keys? When I play octaves on a black keys, my 3th and 4th fihgers alway poke into the front board of the piano.

[@BadBootyShakanosis]

Sergey Kh when playing the black keys use the 4th finger instead of the 5th

[@tonynitzke]

His hand seems to be the perfect size for a comfortable octave. I have to stretch a bit more.

[@jannis11]

nice

[@clergi4969]

When your German so you don't have to turn undertitels on. Great video too.

[@healthy_on9821]

what does he say at 3:45? anybody? right before then, he says something about play staccato with one finger. And then he says something that is not on the subtitles. i dont know german at all. need some help here.

[@johnlocke2026]

At 3:45 he's playing. Did you mean at 2:26? He says "vice versa" and three words which mean something like "...so that I play the lower keys normal".

[@grosejay]

I am sorry but you just do not have enough videos up here!!:-)

[@Hungarianpianotradition]

+Grosejay Glad you like it, we are working on the next videos:-)

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Now teach me so my hands can span a twelfth like Rachmaninoff! lol

[@zStarklStudiosInc]

+PointyTailofSatan He spanned a 13th.

[@ally3452]

+Kénan Zeljković :'( I can't even play a 10th please #smallhandsproblem

[@PointyTailofSatan]

+ally3452 You should play the accordion. lol

[@thegreenpianist7683]

I can't even span a ninth :-(

[@SpaghettiToaster]

Get rich, have a custom piano built for you like Hofmann

[@JD-qd5zp]

I think I read that Van Clibirn could span 14. I’m sure Rachmaninoff had a greater span than 12.

[@gojewla]

Really? You are saying he could reach an octave, plus a seventh??? I have never heard of any pianist with a hand that size.

[@michaelkennedy5126]

Geil!

[@lorenachaweles.5849]

That forearm movement is one of the most common causes of pianist's injuries. Octaves should be played from the fingers with a relaxed wrist..

[@keky2778]

I thought he was Rachmaninoff for a sec

[@dee-ce4pr]

same lol
