I am an older starter and have this book I took piano for about a year. But gave it up at 12. Took it back up at 62. I'm now nearly 69. My tutor I only see once every 4 months or so as she's so busy. Wish I'd kept going when I was young. As it is harder to pick up when you're older. But I'm persevering. I practice most days 2 hours minimum. At least 30 mins on scales. Just love playing my Roland it's relaxing

[@Musiquesaecouter]

Great! I used Burgmuller (great composer for studies in piano teaching) for long and played them mostly all of them, now that I am teaching I like to give it to some of my students. Well not beginners, they usually have to know how to read properly the sheet music. Sure. "Arabesque" became the famous one over time. There are some others I always like "Innocence" "Courant limpide" La gracieuse " "Adieu" "Ballad" "Tarentelle" or "Harmonie des Anges". I found "Styrienne" "L'hirondelle" "Chevaleresque" among the most difficult most of them all are very musical avoiding some boring moments from Czerny unfortunately, I personally never liked the Hanon that I feel to stiff technically. But instead there are studies from Heller, Berens and Lemoine that are real little creative inventions in the classical realm. Thank you very much for sharing

[@user-ng7hz7ow6s]

Thank you for your explanations of Burgmuller’s 25 pieces

[@arlarl7176]

In my opinion the Burgmüller op. 100 etudes are extremely useful to learn dynamics. I always hated to practise dynamics but with these etudes I started to love dynamics and in these pieces students understand the amazing effects of dynamics much better than hardly all other pieces! It is very funny to hear the difference in expression in these romantic pieces like "La courante limpide" or even the first easy ones.

[@aliceloke2679]

I have tried Hanon, Czerny etc and you are correct. Burgmuller Op 100 actually get me to learn technique in a more interesting way.

[@nhs.14]

Well most pieces in this book are very nice to play, and sounds beautiful it blown me away. I had a hard time to stop practicing after i bought this book 😂

[@hiyalanguages]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@earlwgreen]

I love your teaching! Thank you so much. I've played the piano for over 50 years and you have brought so much back to my remembrance.

[@sonahorakova9096]

Really helpful ❤

[@make_the_world_better_place]

I just started learning to play this book. Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤

[@CaptainCaveman782]

Very useful. Thank you. Bought this book today.

[@CaptainCaveman782]

Edit: what do you suggest regarding speed. Should we try keep improving speed before moving on. E.g Arabesque at 152BPM seems impossible for me.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup.

[@keys6]

Thank you! I will now get this and start my study! This was extremely helpful. This is a very good channel = subscribed..

[@pianotips2623]

Welcome aboard!

[@SamBonasera]

Thanks for the video. I am teaching myself piano using this book, op 599, kabalvesky op 27, and Tchaikovsky album for the young! This book is my favorite over anything else! I can only play the first five, but they are my favorite and feel the most musical and important on rudimentary level. Thanks again

[@pianotips2623]

It is a wonderful book!

[@paragde4296]

Thank you this is very helpful. May I ask for a similar review of Anna Magdalena Bach notebook?

[@jacksonamaral329]

I enjoy burgmuller.

[@fernandamccormack]

Thank you so much! I didn't realise the grade for tender fleur. I am happy i can play it slowly though being barely a grade 2 for now. Should we bother pedalling these pieces at all? Thanks again!

[@pianotips2623]

You don't have to, but many of them will certainly sound nicer with some gentle pedalling.

[@fernandamccormack]

@@pianotips2623 thank you! I improved a lot since I started with these exercises and la candeur is my warm up piece for now together with Attwood allegro from 2013 abrsm book which now seems easy since i had an alberti overdose!

[@ITPoshLady1999]

Thank you very much. This only has one grade 1 piece. Can you recommend something similar that has more grade 1 pieces / exercises. I downloaded Diabelli OP. 125 are these all Grade 1 pieces? thanks!

[@miladyraquel]

👌🙌

[@donnamerrifield5643]

Are you going to do a tutorial on Op. 109. I really appreciate the tutorial for 100. Thank you so much.

[@pianotips2623]

Yes I will

[@nhs.14]

Most pieces are pretty easy to play but really hard when you go deep down with dynamics. I wonder how i can exercise dynamics, because it’s all over the place when i played farewell and sorrow 😂

[@johnenock7939]

I'm so glad to have found your video. I had this book when I was about 10, now I'm 70 and I'm re-visiting it for the first time. Just one question - is it better to play the hands separately before putting them together? Thanks once again!

[@pianotips2623]

yes, it is always wise to go through hands separately first

[@johnenock7939]

Many thanks for your reply!@@pianotips2623

[@johnenock7939]

Thanks!@@pianotips2623

[@NG-fi1nn]

So what's up with the suggested tempo on the sheet music here? First one has "Allegro Moderato" at 152 bpm which just seems way too fast.

[@pianotips2623]

I would ignore all the metronome marks and just go with tempo texts like is you see Allegro, go fast. Quality before speed.

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

Please help me! Do we know for sure that the metronome numbers are the composers own? Sure, I know I can play slower, but I hope to get my question answered, thank you.

[@conniechoi4166]

謝謝！

[@pianotips2623]

Thank you so much!

I prefer Burgmuller and Clementi than Hannon and Czerny
