Thanks Julian for making high quality tutorials for trinity and ABRSM . I wish all the trinity and ABRSM students can come and listen and learn from your tutorials, especially people who do not have access to good teachers in their countries.

@@JulianLambert hi julian my name is kollabathula. my students know me as Raja sir. thank you and compliments of the season to you.

[@JulianLambert]

Haha, thank you for the explanation Kollabathula - pleased to 'meet' you. Likewise, all the best for the new year ahead.

[@0707VeggieO]

This is also the best video of this piece . It’s much calmer and the notes are clear. Well done

[@ckoper_1952]

It’s certainly a good waltz that mixes both major and minor .

[@robertoc2485]

Thanks Julian. Beautifully played. I find it useful whereby you show the sheet music over the keyboard as you play through the piece. Also i think i understand rubato more now. Personally, I prefer the second version - it seemed more emotional. I've subscribed. Thanks again.

[@JulianLambert]

Great to see you here, thanks for the lovely feedback.

[@jeaneckblad7473]

I liked the second interpretation. Had great feeling and pathos, unlike the first one. It’s.a haunting melody. Thank you very much.

[@JulianLambert]

Great - thanks for listening Jean.

[@robertoc2485]

Yes same here

[@ianfung8555]

0:45 Ignore this, this is for myself

[@brandontrivino528]

Who still pressed it anyway

[@Beasto]

@@brandontrivino528 I did

[@elianabentos2591]

im taking my performance exam today and this helped so much! tysm :)

[@JulianLambert]

Hope it goes/went well for you Eliana.

[@HaviourXihuiChen]

How to use the peddle please? Per sim for first line. How about the 2nd and 3rd lines? Any paddles needed? For the Ped each bar, does it mean I need to use peddle for the rest of the song? Thanks

[@JulianLambert]

Yes, keep using the pedal throughout this lovely piece.

[@HaviourXihuiChen]

@@JulianLambert thank you for the response 😄

[@ericzhu1441]

I would choose take 2 over 1

[@Millie-kj5ju]

Both performances are just lovely 🤗💕...emotional and inspiring ..I want to be able to play like that 🙏

[@sagacity7786]

I loved both performances!! I’m definitely going to choose this piece for the C group :) the voicing between the left and right hand is flawless too

[@JulianLambert]

Thanks so much SagacityCity - I'm sure you'll enjoy learning this one.

[@bbyinpeng]

What feel that we need when playing this beautiful song?

[@JulianLambert]

Hi there, thanks for the question though I'm not quite sure what you mean. Can you explain what you mean by 'feel'? Take care,

[@bbyinpeng]

Emmmm，when I play this song,I fell that is like a classical style song😂,when I use the pedal ,it will be noisy😂.So what is the feel that I need when play this song?

[@bbyinpeng]

the tips about playing this song?

[@JulianLambert]

It certainly needs the pedal, I can help further at www.patreon.com/julianlambert. I hope to welcome you there. Take care,

[@elizabethmullen9389]

Preferred the second rendition

[@JulianLambert]

Yes, I think I do too!

[@rspanjaitan]

thanks so much for making this see through music sheet piece and hands on piano. it makes it easier to learn and also when somebody asked me to play impromptu and i don't bring my music i just open this lol i like the 2nd version better, i think it gives more rubato in the beginning so you stress the articulation on the first note of the bar. it sounds more "moving". i also like how "clean" the voice of your pedal. This is quite similar with my interpretation. I will be playing this in my recital on 23rd nov. i am quite nervous with memorizing the left hand parts and moving hands really quickly. any tips?

[@JulianLambert]

Best wishes for your recital later this month. As for tips, play slowly to 'teach' your hands and fingers those tricky bits.

[@rspanjaitan]

@@JulianLambert Thank you! 😊 i think i did well in my recital, here is my link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ3bfaNmd6toj5o

[@Likes_Trains]

This is such a nice channel!! I took my grade 3 years ago but have just started training to become a music teacher so I'm trying to get my piano skills improved (not that I'm starting with grade 7 pieces :p) but it's so great that you've taken the time to make all these helpful tutorials. Thank you!

[@JulianLambert]

Ah, thx so much Katie ...and best wishes for the music teacher thing! There's a tutorial on this piece here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaDThpR3opmUotE, and plenty more on the website www.julianlambert.org

[@TheSIGHTREADINGProject]

This is one of my chosen pieces for G7 when I eventually get there (if the syllabus hasn’t changed by then!). I like both versions and will compare more closely as you suggest

[@JulianLambert]

You'll definitely be there in time Kathryn.

[@0707VeggieO]

Hey im back. i can only stretch an octave but some notes for example bar 31 have to be legato . any advice?

[@nicokvl5768]

I play this piece and u gave good advice!

[@samuelloveanime6998]

Hi Sir Im 13 years old learning this grade 7 piece I want to ask what imagination or feeling do we need to play this song with a beautiful classical style because this is moderant day alot of music is moderent especially like anime opening, k-pop and others.

[@wiccalite]

Gorgeous, esp 2nd version. Reminds me of Debussy 'La plus que lente' Would love to hear your interpretation of that. Thank you Julian. You inspire ancient adult re learners like me

[@JulianLambert]

Thank you Wiccalite. Ooh, yes I think you are quite right it does evoke something of the seductive 'La plus que lente'. I hadn't made the connection, but hear it clearly now. You may enjoy the website www.julianlambert.org. Take care

[@cappybaraeats]

How do you know where to speed up and where to slow down? (rubato)

[@JulianLambert]

Oh, I sing it in my head as I play, and try to play as if I were singing.

[@cappybaraeats]

@@JulianLambert Thank you so much for the info ^^ and your playing was amazing. I hope i can play like you one day~ 😀🤩

[@CatPaw-123]

Is this a 20 century piece or romantic period piece?

[@JulianLambert]

20th-century ...from the 1980s I think.

[@0707VeggieO]

I’m playing this piece . I tried it out today it was very difficult because of the accidentals . This video helps me a lot ,Pls can you suggest how to play the accidentals ? Thank you

[@JulianLambert]

The accidentals ...yes it is tricky to read, you are quite right. Just take it slowly to unravel what the composer is saying and, if you can analyse the chords to work out the progression, I find that can help. Good luck!

[@0707VeggieO]

Take2. 2:13

[@beatrizmezzadra2764]

Beautifully played both but I definitely would choose the first version. It has a lot of character. Possibly because of the use of the tempo. But it feels that is played in a higher level of mastering the piece. Am I wrong?

[@JulianLambert]

Good morning Beatriz, I was very interested to read your feedback. I THINK I recorded these two performances back to back at the same sitting, though there may have been a cup of coffee between the two!☕️ I didn't set out to make the two performances different (or even the same for that matter), just two performances to show, albeit subtly, how details can change. It's a lovely piece and well worth the study. If you have a moment, do play Richard Rodney Bennett on Spotify. 😀

[@beatrizmezzadra2764]

🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻good morning Julian! It takes a lot of musicianship to play way. I wouldn’t dare for an exam.

[@beatrizmezzadra2764]

Julian Lambert i repeat, that jazzy tempo, you’ve got to master very well the piece to do that. Honestly I don’t know the level required in 7th grade? I don’t have Spotify. But Im very happy and trying to learn from your videos.
