You make appear all these difficult pieces so easy! Very impressive your tutorials! Thank you so much! Please keep makin videos about Chopin studies!! ❤️👍🏻💯
You are unique, dear teacher...As always, it was great and professional. Thank you very much for this tutorial ... Please continue sending the video. It is very useful. And we appreciate you
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Ray Pablo thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
bravo, tons of info for speeding up figures with a solid well rounded technique. This is helpful for pretty much anything that is fast and continuous. Love the tips on being patient and let the phisiological changes happen. For me I knew this to be true with op 25 no. 12. Took me about 2 months to play it decently. I am confident that I can achieve the same for this one with your tutorial, thanks a lot for so generously making and posting it.

That’s amazing, well done and all the best for this one! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
After a space of about 60 years I decided to go back to this etude and also the Revolutionary. I started playing piano professionially when I was 15. To earn money I usually had to play unchallenging music in the theatre or 'lounge' style jazz. There was no time or need to practice. Now I intend to reawaken the skills I left behind. Your tutorial on Etude Op.25 No.2. is so excellent I can now play the right hand and most of the left hand fairly well BUT putting them together is another matter. I need a method for getting this right. It all falls apart after a few bars. What I need is advice as to how to get this polyrhythmic problem solved. By the way I am 80 years old, probably your oldest fan!

Thanks so much, so glad to hear the exercises have been helping. And how great that you are dedicating your time to piano playing now in your life, very inspiring! As to putting both hands together, I would suggest practicing slowly of course and also in sections at a faster tempo. So for example, take half bar sections, and practice them until you feel confident, then start practicing one bar sections, then 2 bar sections and so on. All the best with the study!
I love this. Can I ask, is it a big disadvantage if you’re left handed? Even after all these years my right hand is still slower vs the left. Thank you so much. I love your videos and never tire of listening to you and your playing. Such a gift!!!!
3 года назад+2
I wouldn’t say that it is a disadvantage at all, I know many amazing left handed pianists and you get to play great virtuoso accompaniment figures in the left hand. I think you just have to probably spend a bit more time training the right hand than a right-handed person. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻
@@timsheffield7464 I am left handed too. I have 2+ years of piano so I'm not expert at all, but at least in my case I can confirm that if you practice consistenly there will be almost no difference.
thanks a lot Danae to share, great advises ! But let's speak now about left hand ! Prélude Numéro 3 please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So interesting to see how you've managed it...
3 года назад
That’s a great idea! Will definitely try to make a video on the left hand soon 🤗
Awesome video! I had no idea Op.10 No.1 was supposed to be on the harder spectrum, no wonder it's taking me months and I'm still having a hard time. I guess this means it's way above my skill level. In what order do you recommend to learn the Etudes? Should I also abandon 10-1 and work on something more appropriate instead?
3 года назад+4
Thanks for watching! I would say that op. 25 no. 1 and 2 are good beginner etudes when getting into the Chopin studies. For the left hand, I would recommend op. 10 no. 9. Op. 10 no. 1 is definitely not one of the easy ones, at the same time, I wouldn‘t suggest stopping it altogether, but rather just doing the exercises at your speed on a regular basis. That way, you will be able to play it in a year or two as your technique grows. It just isn‘t one of the studies you can learn immediately and in a short period of time, in my opinion. Have fun with it! :)
@@bettylee1816 i'm not an advanced pianist, i tried many chopin etudes but i can only manage op 10 no 12 until the end, i can't play even a page for the rest, maybe you can try op 10 no 12?
Hello dear Danae , I haven't searched this level yey but I know this vedio will be helpful cause I will study this maybe in some years. But my question is apart from the Czerny hanon kullak etudes u did do a vedio. Do u feel Heller's op 45 , steibelts op 78 , cramer and Clementi useful?? At technique . Also i wish to do Hummels op 125 ( it's from where Chopin got his etudes from ( ain't a rumor)) I future.
3 года назад+1
Sounds great! I personally have studied only Heller and Clementi which I also found very useful. And Hummels is very virtuoso, so you can definitely learn a lot of technique from that. :) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
i get a tense thumb with this etude, the muscle between the thumb and the index in the hand. I know the etude well, but it's preventing me from getting it to tempo.
Thank you for sharing! However, I've been playing this etude for 2 years, tried all exercises, changed fingerings mny times, and I still can't play it on pace :( I feel like only some people in this world are able to play this at speed. I literally don't know what to do :'(
3 года назад+3
In my experience, what helps in situations like these is to very very gradually increase the tempo from rather slow to end speed. Spend a week or so with a slower tempo until you feel very comfortable with it, then increase it by only one metronome line and spend a week with this new tempo. Continue doing that until you reach the final tempo. I find that this process usually works very well as it gives muscles and brain time to process every note in the new tempo. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Update: actually I've tried playing slower, and you're absolutely right, this made my fingers and brain process every note more deliberately than before which I lacked and rushed, I also curved my fingers more, and that seems to bring clarity, lightness and more evenness! Very positive results after years of struggle! I think now what I lack is the emotions, the right pedaling, and the correct phrasing (especially the diminished chord part). Any insight if possible? Thank you again for helping, you are very kind and supportive!
@@pianoforte17xx48 practice arpeggios as chords. Group everything you can and play it, even if its two notes at a time. I promise if you group say, thhat diminished arpegio and play it grouped for 5 eternal, torturing minutes, the moment you go back to try it as an arpeggio it will become MUCH easier. As I telll my students, we have gone to infinite speed when blocking that arpeggio, now the hard part is to slow down :) . Pedaling and emotion are more intuitive and easier to solve, so hear many recordings and take note. Good luck!
We don't feel the 2 against 3 between the two hands. You play it like a 6 / 8. You should practice it with 4 half notes (one and two together) at the left hand instead of 6 notes. Practice it as fast as you can with precise accents at the beginning of the triplets then and only then put the 6 notes at the left hand. Rare are pianists who play it the right way. This makes this study a real challenge.

Yes, that is what makes it a challenge! Thanks for the practice suggestions!
This is the only video that actually gives practical instruction and explanations for the problems. finally, thank you!!!
Thank you, so glad you find it helpful!

@ ok Danae, but I spoke about prelude 3's left hand... when you want
Hi Danae!
How do you build the volume in the right hand? Is it just a mental thing, or do you physically feel more weight from the shoulders?
It’s a bit of both, I would say! :)
