The Chopin Method: Piano lesson 5. The finger and the key.

This is indeed a reedition of a video with nearly the same content. I just corrected some audio synchronization that rendered the video less understandable.

This was astoundingly informative and beautiful. You have explained how music is emitted from the physical body into the instrument in a way I never knew possible.

We should address the uncomfortable shape of the "standard" piano keys as well.

Ich liebe Chopin.

I love this! My current piano teacher just informed me that there are no muscles in the fingers!

[@benr7882]

What is the piece at 4:17 ? I can't recall. Nice video, by the way.

[@thechopinmethod7257]

Thank you! The fragment is from the Prelude Op28 Nº13 in F# Major. Cheers!

Hello, I am a beginner in piano, I haven't even played the piano yet and I am currently doing research. And these videos confused me immensely. Can you please tell me what I should do when learning the piano that is different from traditional methods of playing the piano, as if you were telling a 3-year-old?

[@thechopinmethod7257]

Hello. Sorry to hear about your confusion. The whole idea of these videos is to convey something complex via simple means. Someone called them "the under the hood" videos. A likeable analogy except that the context is different. People can drive their cars satisfactorily without knowing what is happening under the hood. Those who want to play piano well should not. So here goes one answer for your question. Very early on in learning piano, the student should build the notion of walking on a keyboard. Not using two legs, but ten. Chopin did mention the walking analogy. He said, "if a person learns to walk with the arms and head down, later, when shown the natural way, will not be able to walk well either way" (Chopin EMP, JJ Eigeldinger). The second answer I would add to your question is to watch the videos in this channel attentively and in order. Chopin's ideas are not only technical, they are corroborated by science. CS.
