Tchaikovsky's Morning Prayer (op.39 no. 1) - Tutorial

[@marceloaleixo853]

I've been learning piano for about 5 months, but I love this piece so much that I'm trying to learn it. It's challenging, but I will get through it!

[@elisamartini1694]

Thank you for your very very good explanations. I would very much like to learn this piece of music. THANK YOU.

[@kevingmccann8552]

This is a very good tutorial that fully details everything needed to play this piece. I recently learned this piece and I would have had a quicker learning experience if I had seen this video first

[@michaelarch3779]

Excellent tutorial!

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Wonderful introduction and explanation. I just watched a cello group performing this and I was wondering who had done the arrangement. And now I see your explanation of the four parts to this piece or four voices so that gives me a clue about what Tchaikovsky was thinking as he composed it. I’m a guitar player and I really can’t wrap my mind around having my two hands doing different things at the same time. I mean I know my two hands are doing different things when I’m playing the guitar but one is supporting the other. But in this piece were actually talking about four lines or four voices being played at the same time. This is entirely new to me, and I’m a little bit stunned by it.

Wonderful I just found you on my iPad and I’m learning this song at my piano teacher and this is really help me please keep going. Thank you

[@edwarda.casimiro9808]

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to watch this morning. I just started on "In Church" last evening, and it occurs to me that any standard hymnal may be used for supplemental practice (that's at least 600 pieces almost nobody considers for intermediate players).

[@JonPreizler]

Thanks much for this. It's a great deep dive that a kid can understand. I've been teaching this to my 12yo and this vid will augment his learning greatly.

[@haiiksdbkslnflk2529]

So nice to see this episode with Tchaikovsky! It's wonderful to see my favorite channel pair with my favorite composer!! Definitely looking forward to future videos!

[@diegoe.vargas8708]

Hailey K Did you notice his 6th Symphony playing really softly at the beginning?

[@haiiksdbkslnflk2529]

Diego E. Vargas I didn't! Thank you for pointing it out!

[@martinmaccauley]

I'm currently learning this, thanks so much for the brilliant tutorial! 2:28 (for my reference)

[@EpiGuitar2012]

Thats was awesome and helpful

[@charleslaine]

YAY! So glad to see this. I remember you mentioning something about this the other day after I asked about trying to make those chord transitions from the white to black keys. I've been working on this piece for almost two weeks now and it's a bruiser!

[@dr.cebeatz1286]

I like the way you break down this piece, it helped me alot because i am preparing it for ABRSM pratical Exam this Year. 😎🙏🎹🎼🎯🥇

[@tomkinnally9656]

Such great eyes...

[@musicbyAnu]

u are good at teaching keep it up

[@rebecca7803]

YOU UPLOADED SOMETHING I CAN PLAY OMG

[@charleslaine]

Another thing I've learned about this piece... different books have vastly different fingering recommendations. I have the RCM level 3 repertoire book that contains this piece as well as the Schirmer Performance Edition of Tchaikovksy's Album for the Young. I MUCH PREFER the Schirmer Perfomance Edition. The fingerings indicated in that book allow for some smoother transitions in my opinion.

[@Mrfailstandstil]

Hey Allysia 😘

[@charleslaine]

LOL Comment overload here... the next piece I'm learning is Yoshinao Nakada's "The Song of Twilight" which is another one of your RCM level 3 recommendations. I love this piece! I just heard it for the first time and it's so beautiful. Anyway, the point being... this channel has been such an inspiration to me. I'm just a beginner with only a few months of learning behind me, but this channel has been a great benefit to me as I delve into the amazing and wonderful world of piano.

[@PianotvNet]

Yeah I love that piece! I feel like it's very mature-sounding for the level. It's hard to get those chords quiet and played simultaneously! And thanks for the comments. :)

[@charleslaine]

You make it look easy ;-) When I was learning it, it took me two full days (well, not in hours... probably 5 hours of actual keyboard time) to get the first two measures locked down. Sounds crazy right? But coordinating the two hands and getting the fingering right... it was like playing twister with my fingers. Now I'm working on the ending, with the repetitive low G eight notes. It's killing me because that note is just so overpoweringly loud and it's a struggle to keep it low and soft and remain on the beat. Ughh.

[@PianotvNet]

I'm not surprised! It was tough for me to record as well (took longer than most Grade 3 pieces).

[@xbabygirl375]

This was very satisfying to watch, thank you for doing this video! I was wondering, would you still recommend doing/learning from the RCM books (repertoire, studies, technical stuff) if someone doesn't decide to do the exams? Or should they do other books instead?

[@PianotvNet]

I've had students do that before! Though I personally prefer to explore books beyond the RCM ones, they are convenient in that everything is all at the same level and you don't have to hunt for appropriate collections. But if you're interested in other books, I use the RCM syllabus - every piece listed in there shows what book it came from, which is a big source of inspiration for me.

[@silverkitsune]

my favorite part is when she says, watch me play it all the same volume (plays it beautifully) see how thats not balanced?

[@retrops4261]

johnnyolchap also I was thinking "The eighth notes will sound choppy" I was like wait this is Romantic music and there is no staccato marking....so no, I don't think they are supposed to sound choppy..*check new recording* kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqXahZitZtSaeJo Uh huh. Totally legato sound.

[@silverkitsune]

cool!

[@392023001]

can anyone share a link to this music score?

[@remiie6789]

I only learn piano through synthesia and chords, so am I'm called a pianist?(sorry for bad english)

[@savasforte4309]

first, you should know music theory and music sheet knowledge to be called as a pianist

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

You're going to smack into a wall pretty hard ignoring sheet music and theory. Trust me. Lol. Buy Playground Sessions or something. It's a very good program to learn sheet

[@remiie6789]

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Just notice that this was 3 years ago wtf..... Thanks for the reply tho but I think I might stick with synthesia but ofcourse I will try to study some sheets and notes someday :)

[@remiie6789]

I was 14 back then so yeah kinda disappointed in myself that I still don't know how to read sheets but can play some easy piece like Nocturne Op 9 no 2

[@ChakraKahn]

I pay $45 bux for a 30 min lesson for my kid and I swear you're 10 million times better. You don't live near Seattle do you?

[@dodecahe]

charlie cowan 😂

[@jessicalai3080]

Z O she lives in Canada...

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Go to the city colleges. They have CHEEP private lessons!

[@fairyeater]

are you still doing suggestions for analysis?

[@PianotvNet]

always!

[@fairyeater]

pianoTV cool! i have lots of suggestions such as: beethoven's hammerklavier or appasionata chopín's impromptu in c# minor or the minute waltz goldberg variations? maybe some liszt like la campanella or the paganini études as a whole, reminiscing of the don juan, or hungarian rhapsody no. 2 just suggestions, but this is what i had in mind thank you for the ability to leave suggestions!

[@keisi3824]

02:29 start

[@DottoreSM]

i should be playing something easy liek this but instead im trying my luck with liebestraum no. 3 :v

[@HilbertXVI]

Dottore ' Un Sospiro here lmao kill me

[@DottoreSM]

well that one's a lot harder!

[@pimghlag]

Dottore, play these easy pieces to learn hard pieces quicker!

[@rupe82]

I am finding this piece harder to learn than The Doll's Funeral and even Gymnopedie no 1. Weird.

[@code3xiv]

you are getting skinnier. are you well?

[@maryamedlock4233]

You are so interesting. But could you slow down a little?😢

[@Durtlepower]

The thumbnail reminds me of Teletubbies
