(Continued): I truly believe hands separate practice is over-emphasized and over-valued by most students and teachers. I have found through my many years' teaching experience that playing well hands separately is almost always no guarantee that one will be able to put hands together well. It is better to play very slowly hands together than trying to play up to speed hands separately.

when practicing slow be careful of hitting speed walls, finger and hand speeds is like different speeds of leg movements aka walking, running and sprinting they all require different motions to achieve the desired speeds...meaning its unlikely you can make walking speed as fast as sprinting speed, you have to learn the correct movements for faster motion...this is same with piano with piano you should experiment at high speeds just to see what kind of finger and hand motions are needed first then practice those motions at slower speed to solidify the technique and THEN gradually increase speed as instructed in this vid search up fundamentals of piano practice if u want to learn more, its a free book

Hands separate practice is really beneficial for beginners and intermediate levels up to about level 6. After this, it begins to become counterproductive in my opinion. By the time one is trying to play this work, he should be at least around level 8 which means no more hands separate practice. With the exception of some isolated passages here and there, the last time I practiced hands separately was about 30 years ago.

Thank you so much! For someone who learns primarily by ear this video is an invaluable learning tool. The piece sounds very different at the speeds one starts to learn at than it does in performances to tempo. It is also much less intimidating to to let a goal for a slower tempo at first and then work up than to start out with a goal of Presto Agitato. I am listening to this at my desk at work and I am entertained by how you struggle to slow down, stay with metronome, and resist the temptation to play to tempo. Thank you for this effort.

I agree completely, but I'm not a professional. Also, as to the point above re:performance speed, I'm sure there is room for artistic license WRT the performance. On my iPhone/iTunes, I have several versions. HJ Lim and Daniel Barenboim play it considerably faster than does Willhelm Kempf. IMHO, Kempf plays it best, but they all play it much better than I can. I've never mastered it, not sure if I'm ready, but this helps. Finally, if you want to change tempo of a song, without changing pitch, I recommend "the amazing slow downer app for Macintosh.

Very good tutorial on this piece. Personally I am starting this piece at an even slower metronome speed because mastery of the piece at slow speed works the fingerings into muscle memory which is an invaluable part of the progression of getting this type of work up to speed and the manual dexterity needed for this piece is way above average. As an aside, I recommend playing the full Hanon study book once through each day to train and strengthen fingers or else one would not even be able to play this piece at all. Thanks for the video!!
@Cinescrat4D9 жыл бұрын
Paul Zarvis After reading your comment I actually went one and bought the Hanon Virtuoso Pianist book - only to find one day after its delivery that there's a pdf document of it freely available on the internet. Damn. If someone else is interested in playing the Hanon exercises you can find it here: imslp.org/wiki/The_Virtuoso_Pianist_%28Hanon,_Charles-Louis%29 I've been stuck on the 3rd movement for more than 2 years now and it's actually true: Lacking the strenght in the left hand or the 4th and 5th fingers it will *not* be possible to play the 3rd movement... sigh, it is very frustrating, I mean, I've been playing the piano for 12 years now, but it seems my teachers failed at giving me enough etudes. And now I'll probably spend another year mastering the Hanon studies...
@Cinescrat4D9 жыл бұрын

Hanon is not the worst thing. What's important is HOW and WHY you are doing what you are doing in each exercise. Don't let a Wikipedia article alone and/or several musicians that disregard all of Hanon. Just because the exercises are easy to sight read does not mean they are to be played mindlessly. You can benefit in different ways incorporating Hanon. But alas, I have found another excellent piano technique book by Franz Liszt's pupil, Carl Tausig. There are 3 parts to his "Daily Studies" book, and I tell you, this guy was a young master that died all too young. imslp.org/wiki/Daily_Studies_%28Tausig,_Carl%29 See for yourself, these exercises will challenge you, also you will need to pick up the pamphlet that the book refers too, unfortunately, i do not have the link for that right now. Tausig was known for learning every possible hand combination used on the piano. You can compose easier with the technique you learn from Tausig. P.S. Good look to all of you regardless of what you do, piano to me is most important to be enjoyed by yourself and others listening!
@Cinescrat4D9 жыл бұрын
Paul Zarvis It would be helpful to hear your opinion on this: After playing through the First Hanon Book at 108 bpm four times every day for over two months I have to conclude that it was a complete waste of time. I was able to play the 3rd movement at 100 bpm *before* that. Now I am *still* struggling at the very same passages. So clearly your last statement is false. You should be more careful with what you say. In my case, it led to me wasting 10€ and 2 months of my time.

It is great to learn single sections at a time, in fact, this is the way I learn and memorize my music. But eventually you will need to begin putting all sections together into one coherent whole so you can get the entire picture.

The video helped me. It did. without this video I wouldn't be able to play the moonlight sonata like i am now. He suggested to limit wrist movement, which is why he can play it perfectly at such a high tempo of 108. But, most other pianists actually move their wrists... hence why they can play it at 160. I guess this is just up to personal interpretation. BachScholar is someone who, like he suggested, is really passionate about clarity of notes, fingering positions, which is fine, but the key to this piece is presto agitato. Personally, i don;t think you're meant to be able to discern every note especially with the broken chords, i don't think your fingers are meant to be locked into the same position. That's just not what "presto agitato" means to me. By keeping my thumb in a line, I feel confined. Still, I respect you as an experienced pianist who's videos have helped me.
@BachScholar6 жыл бұрын
This piece just doesn't sound good at 160. I don't care what others play, it just doesn't sound good this way. I play 126 in my performance. This is fast enough. I could have played it faster if I wanted to, but I chose 126. If everyone jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you? That is, just because "everyone" plays something at 160, does this necessarily mean "you" and everyone else has to?

Watch arguably the greatest pianist of the 20th century, Horowitz, play basically anything and notice how much he flops or moves his wrists around.
@celesefernal24906 жыл бұрын
Thank you for that fast reply. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any good videos on youtube for horowitz but I can imagine it being possible for a practised player to also play it at fast speeds with little wrist movement, though I believe with more difficulty. The reason is because the venules and capillaries actually need movement from the muscles in order to push the oxygen along to support a fast playing speed. Not to mention if everyone did jump off brooklyn bridge they'd probably have a good reason to do it so I might even consider that. I believe this piece is more a matter of self-expression than impressionism, therefore passion matters more than it sounding good, not to mention, I did find a mp3 version of horowitz playing on high speed, and I think it does sound good. in any case I do support your work. so keep it up.
