[@AbnormaalTsi]

I needed this; I'm struggling maintaining my repertoire, like remembering which notes to play. Thank you kindly sir

[@wowsuchdoge3277]

[@gerardbrown2334]

Thank you Adrian. I have tremendous respect your insight, clarity and brevity. And as regards your playing-I love your phrasing.

[@pianomosaic]

Thank you so much Gerard. Means a lot.

[@scottderrick8166]

Another great video with practical and creative tips. Thanks for sharing, Adrian!

[@pianomosaic]

Thanks Scott. I appreciate the feedback. I hope it wasn't too much in one video.

[@scottderrick8166]

I don't think so. Short video with powerful practice thoughts. Perfect.

Finally, after stumbling upon this video months ago, I found it again. Your tips are immensely helpful, and can be adapted to a wide range of skill level, even to other instruments. Subscribed instantly. Keep up the amazing work!

[@pianomosaic]

Thanks! Yes I deliberately tried to be more generalist with this series.

[@PianoExplorerHungDo]

Great tips! Very helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@ntrgc89]

Thank you, I've been struggling to secure pieces and I'm looking forward to trying out this advice!

[@pianomosaic]

You're welcome. I'd be interested to hear how it works.

[@EduardoVillalobosPiano]

Excellent videos and great advice. Have you read Seymour Bernstein´s "With your own two hands"? It offers lots of great advices for musicians. I hope you do a lot more of videos discussing this kind of things

[@pianomosaic]

Thanks Eduardo. I haven't read that but I'll take a look. I'm definitely doing many more videos. Have a long list already.

[@Pianolifter]

@@pianomosaic I look forward to seeing your other videos.

[@benvds]

Thx for the tips, as a beginner I think the first two are probably the most useful. What is the name of the first songs? It sounds really familiar and I love it! Thumbs up!

[@pianomosaic]

Thanks, yes some of these are not suitable for beginners. Tip #5 might also be worth considering. The very first thing you hear is Beethoven Tempest sonata 3rd movement. The piece for tip no.1 is Debussy Arabesque in A major.

[@robertschumann6977]

Which piece do u play at tip 2😊? Du spielst wirklich gut, studierst du Musik ?

[@pianomosaic]

@@robertschumann6977 that's Beethoven's Tempest sonata 3rd movement. Danke Dir! Ich habe vor Ewigkeiten mal studiert.

[@pianomosaic]

Hey thanks!!!

[@phaedrus6891]

Just discovered your channel. Great stuff here. I have a recital coming up in March and I’m determined to give as good a performance I can. Thanks for the tips! Edit: Het any specific suggestions for the piece I’m working on? I’m revisiting an old piece I played years ago, Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum by Debusssy. One thing I realized is I strain very much on the introduction. I also struggle with speed. ATM I’m mainly focusing on relaxing my hand as much possible and playing it evenly and slowly.

[@pianomosaic]

Hey thanks Paul. Yes the opening is the hardest part of the Dr Gradus. You could try some of the exercises I suggest in the video on practicing Ravel Jeux d'eau (Specifically, those at 0 :18 and 5 :05 of that video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/inzSZGmdoL15m7M

When this loaded without a thumbnail I was guessing it was a chess video

[@pianomosaic]

Did you come here searching for chess tips? The algorithm must have really screwed up then.

[@balladin9200]

@@pianomosaic No no it was in my reccomended, but I’m more happy that it’s piano related i’ve been forgetting and dropping so many pieces unfinished. I just never hear ‘Securing pieces’ unless it’s chess haha

[@martinihenry9792]

What's the piece in tip 1 and 2 please, it sounds like ravel

[@pianomosaic]

In tip no 1 it's Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 And in tip no 2 it's the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Tempest sonata.
