      WOW... that's a serious list ;) I think I can make a dent in it for you :) Beethoven-wise, I've had a couple earlier requests for the Appassionata, so that may be on the top there. My rh 4th finger feels immediately sluggish thinking about Feux follets, but what a great piece. What's the Chopin version of happy birthday - you mean Nahre Sol?

    from frustration to plan b... I recorded several takes of the Heroic Polonaise and just wasn't feeling it, so I flipped through my polonaises for some inspiration and landed on this, which I had played at a bit as a teenager but not since. Anyway, I hacked through it a few times imagining I was Bruce Lee breaking boards alternating flying back kicks and short punches on each chord, then a couple times as if an edgy, elegant Argentinian tango - and it felt good!!! So I tried pressing record and it unexpectedly came out more or less Polish after a few takes, if yet a little raw...

      I suddenly love it. I think I used to overlook it, seeing it in the shadow of a few of the other big polonaises and other Chopin showstoppers, but now it feels like a backdoor key to better understanding Chopin's more extroverted soundscapes.

    I've been started to learn the 2nd Piano Concerto by Rachmaninoff now. Its so much harder than I expected. By the way, could you play another Piece of Rach, pls?. Already the first impressed me.

    • @ZenandtheArtofPiano
      @ZenandtheArtofPiano  5 лет назад

      Thank you! I love the 2nd Concerto!! It's really almost as hard as the 3rd. The key to the piece, as in a lot of music like that, is cultivating enormous expressiveness (and strength) in the rh pinky (and 3-4). After practicing the rest exhaustively, if you can focus 95% of your mental and emotional focus in the moment of performance on the single most prevalent single note/line at any given moment (and half the time it's in the rh pinky...), you're halfway there. A 2nd tip is to learn it all with a pizzicato touch, plucking from the first joint of the finger, followed by immediately relaxing the finger. More Rachmaninoff soon... the Vocalise ended up much cooler than I feel it...

    • @ZenandtheArtofPiano
      @ZenandtheArtofPiano  5 лет назад

      Rachmaninoff coming your way, my friend, in a few hours... I was actually thinking of the 1st mvt of Rach 2 on two pianos then opted for something easier to realize as a first 2-piano effort...
