This channel is seriouls underrated. Nobody really is doing this type of content. Would be fun to hear your take on rach c sharp,

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks El! Yes, the Rach C sharp minor prelude is on my list for the future!

[@SonataSecrets]

Rach C# minor is done now! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYqwnn9mrdWim80

[@GlennGhouled]

you're right, there isn't any channels like this here

[@joaopedrolessa2242]

I love your analysis!! Keep doing it!!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you Joao! I will :)

[@woutervandriel1861]

This channel is absolutely amazing. WOW! I think I've watched this particular video at least 40 times already. Thanks!

[@patriciallorando7104]

I love your videos so much. Thank you.

[@GabrielAlves-ll6lc]

im binge watching all of your videos, they are so entertaining and insightful, thank you very much for the wholesome content

[@AbnormaalTsi]

I'll keep saying it, but one day you will be discovered by many my friend! Thank you for this analysis, i might attempt to learn thid piece, but i have difficulty with the huge chord near the end. I can only reach a 9th, Any tips?

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks Tsi, you were one of my first followers! Yes, well it's not a kind piece for smaller hands... But I think you can alter some chord notes there to make it easier. LH: g, b and g on top instead of b. RH: first try to take the f and g with the thumb kind of outside the keys, otherwise move the f up an octave so you get g,d,f,a, I think that also works.

[@profsjp]

Superb - and inspiring - analysis and performance demonstration. Great to have a ‘central piece’ located in overall context.

[@siutan6315]

I love the way you give a slight history of the title of the piece . It’s important to know what one is playing . 👍👍👍

[@CristinaGarcia-ep4sg]

I really enjoy this video. It's very interesting your analysis and I liked yourr interpretation. I hope to watch more videos!!Thank you Henrik!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you so much Christina! I hope you enjoy the other videos as well :)

[@lavendelle_swift]

Love this analysis. I'm gonna learn the 1st Part. Can you do the analysis of Schumann's Papillons Op. 2?

[@SonataSecrets]

Pappillons are fun little pieces as well, maybe in the future because I haven't played it yet...

[@caterscarrots3407]

Träumerei the word might be German for Dreaming, but as an English speaker, it sounds like exactly the opposite of dreaming, trauma. I haven't listened to much Schumann outside of my intermediate beginner years(past Mozart, not quite at Chopin yet), but the piece sounds beautiful.

[@SonataSecrets]

Hehe yeah, it's pretty much the opposite of the English word. As I say in the video, the Album for the Young are really great, musically interesting, pieces if you want to get to know Schumann's music more, that are also very accessible to play. Then Kinderszenen comes next, and then basically all other Schumann is harder... There are some really nice pieces in Waldszenen Op 82 as kind of the middle range as well, I might do them some time too.

[@SonataSecrets]

Your videos are so refreshing. Your love of the music you play is contagious. 💕

[@nuberhellegrini]

Please Do Schumann Romance Op. 28 No. 2!!!!!!!!!!!

[@magusl9628]

'Dreams of childhood'? If you don't even know the name of the piece, why would I bother watching your video? It's called Reverie (daydreaming, original german Träumerei) from the book Scenes from Childhood (original german Kinderscennen)

[@josemariatrueba4568]

Great analysis but poorly played in my opinion. I don't feel the emotions of this simple but very romantic piece, that deserves to be played better. Not easy! I find this playing .... mechanic!

[@luisfernandotapia451]

Awsome video! I will use it with my students to get them into Schumann. Thanks for creating this channel :)

[@SonataSecrets]

This is best compliment I can wish for, thank you!

[@margarethansen7480]

Absolutely great! I love this music, even though I play just number one and seven Now I’ll try the others, thanks for do this work with love❤for Music

[@wearedustinthewindinthewin7239]

Just found this I’m not playing any music instrument but would like to learn about classical music. So I can enjoy listening to classical music.

[@Breakbeat90s]

8:28 isnt this (ii iv I64 vii°56/V V7) V7 instead? 8:51 i really like this passage, making the dominant a minor seventh chord and then holding the third so it becomes the b9 of D9

[@SonataSecrets]

Well, theoretically you could write it like that. First, I have just skipped over the transitional dim chords. Then the G 64-chord you can write either as I64 or V64 (in the V-parenthesis), just different ways of writing it. But the first chord- since it's preceeded by a clear A7, I feel it much more as its own chord, vi, than just a chord in the progression towards V7 in the end.

[@Breakbeat90s]

@@SonataSecrets oh true my bad

[@oritdrimer4354]

Can you Make a Video about Sonata no. 2. I really like Schumann, He is my Favourite Composer of all time

[@VinsonMusic]

I find a resemblance between “Von fremden Ländern” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Also “Frölicher Landmann” from Album for the Young appears in the score to The Wizard of Oz film.

[@SonataSecrets]

Yeah now that you mention it! It's the same melodic contour for the inital notes.

[@izabellamardo1074]

Henrik please I like tradução em " PORTUGUÊS " thank you very math

[@אילנהיונה-נ6ב]

A good job henrik!! Its very excitment to hear this piece. I exspect to more videos. Happy new year🌷

[@paulmetdebbie447]

I always wonder about the rythm and the notation. The musical rythmical accents do not concur with the notation, the accent often being on the second count in stead of the first. Any thoughts on this?

[@samuelbitran6748]

Love your videos, man! They've helped me understand more thoroughly the songs that I play. I'm currently working on Liszt's consolation n3, and would like to see your analysis for that piece!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you so much Samuel! I haven't played that piece, but it's not impossible for the future...

[@wilhelmtm]

Great channel!!!!! Love it!

[@Lilyrockstarr]

My piano sheet book has traumerei, then traumerei secondo and traumerei primo which is an easier version of the traumerei. I can’t find any information on these two pieces. Could you share if you know anything?

[@SonataSecrets]

Primo and Secondo usually refers to the two parts of four-hand piano - maybe it's a version for four hands?

[@Lilyrockstarr]

Sonata Secrets could be! Thank you so much!

[@davidtonner9545]

Just started learning to play this suite. Great analysis of the links between the pieces

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks David. Good luck with your playing of it!
