The Chopin Method. Piano lesson 9: the trill.

- The trill is at the service of the musical message, and not the opposite. This, however, is truly challenging when the trill is conceived with a different technique than the rest of the phrasing.

I'm so lucky and gratefull to have access to this usefull masterclass of a video! Thank so much for bringing us such good quality videos
This changed my whole perspective on playing Mozart. It’s seriously useful if you can understand what he’s saying. I had to stop a few times but eventually was able to understand most of the information.
This discussion of sensory feedback from moving keys to the fingers/brain is SO VALUABLE. Approaching the trill as a physical feat whereby the keys are "attacked" seems commonplace; without physical awareness of the keys' deployment and rebound the effect will be unmusical. Thank you for your artful videos.
Thanks as always for the free upload ! It's always a "thrilling" experience to watch and learn form your videos. Thank you again 🤍
Wonderful class, you don't see many explained like this in Spanish, which is why I really appreciate that the title draws the attention of the Spanish viewer and also that it is useful to the English-speaking viewer.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but I think that the title is just auto translated, for example I see it in Italian
Love this series, especially Sir Attenborough's pronunciation of the word "TREE'iLLS".
Ringrazio per aver preso come esempi i divini Kempff e Michelangeli !
Trilli perfetti !!!
Fantastic set of videos! 😀
Thank you! Great series. You are doing a huge work
Incredibly helpful video. Thank you so much for your work 🙏🏻
Interesting 3 finger trills.
Thank you. But it is actually a 4 finger trill. Thanks for watching.
@@thechopinmethod7257 Oh ok I will have to watch again. It was late when I watched it. Thx
Great video. First time I find somebody that explains finger motion as I do with my pupils. There is so much trash content online. This is gold 👏
Thank you for your comment. Regards.
Thank you so much.
Fantastic lesson and tips. Thank you so much.❤
Welcome!
Beautiful information, thank you Sir!
CAT ALERT AT 1:45
trills with the tail❤
Great series, this collection will be a major source of reference on biomechanics for all pianists at every level for the years to come, keep up the good work Claudio 💐
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing this with other pianists!
1:46 in the background the cat is joining in with its tail 😂
Thank you so much 😊 once again.
Could you show me a video talking about the octave technique with fast passages? These videos are helping me a lot with my technique, this content is worth gold, thank you very much
I expect a video about octaves coming during 2025. Thanks for watching.
This is very similar to how Mark Knopfler plucks guitar strings in succession. He has a very distinct sound because he plucks where almost all guitarists would hammer and pull.
For example, the arpeggios at the end of Sultains of Swing, mark does 2 string arpeggios that would normally be executed:
pluck, pull pluck, hammer pull pluck
pluck pluck
but Mark goes
pluck pluck pluck= pluck pluck pluck pluck
pluck pluck
by using 3 fingers (his thumb on the lower string, and slternating fingers on the high string.
this was really interesting to learn as a classical guitarist who can't play piano at all. tremolo and cross string trills on guitar work the same way, there are some virtuosi who still finger them using two fingers but the 1-4-3-2 or 1-2-4-3-2 in flamenco works on the same principle as piano trills
It's very good 👏
Cool and good
thank you
Thanks!
Gracias🇦🇷
De nada.
magnific !!!!❤
Thank you!
Thank you.
Fantástico!!!🌹
Superb explanation thank you 🫳
Great video. Can you also make a video on how to play octaves without strain.
Yes. Octaves should come later in 2025. Thanks for watching.
Besten Dank
What a deceptively difficult technique
Good day sir, I really enjoy your videos. I'm a self-taught church musician looking to change my approach to a classical aproach as it focuses alot on technique and I have major issues in this area... is there any book suggestions that I can look at to help me better understand this method/ approach to music
Hello! I amd not aware if there is a good book to better explain Chopin's Method. Of course, you may try "Chopin vu par ses élèves" by J.J Eigerldinger, which brings the compolation that inspired this YT channel. I expected that videos with animations may help pianists over. Time will tell. Thank you very much for your support. CS
I'm in the same situation brother, a pleasure my friend!
@@thechopinmethod7257Perhaps Neuhaus' book, which is based on the Chopin method?
May i know how to train hyperflexible first joints of the fingers so that the fingers are able to support on the piano?
Yes. Please concentrate on where the intrinsic muscles excert their function inside the finger: the zone distal to the knuckle and the zone where the nail is. This is already described in a video os this series.
It would be great if you could do a more in depth lesson on 4th and 5th fingers. I am struggling a lot with them. It's so easy to have pain at the elbows as soon as the piece uses them repeatedly.
I started studying piano 1 year ago, so I have troubles to understand to correct movements.
Yes. There is plenty to say about the 5th finger by itself now. A video about the 5th and eventually of the 4th will be part of the series. Thank you for watching. Please share.
try hanon to strengthen 45 fingers
I've been following you for a while now and just thought if there is anything left to the future for you to tell us (cuz I'm thinking that it's a limited type of knowledge which is referring from specific book that I'm reading right now, if not could you be kind to share the resources you've been using?)
There is plenty more to come. Topics such as arpeggios, chords, fingers 2, 3 4 and 5, jumps, and who knows what else. Thank you for following and watching!
I know this is probably not related to piano but why does my back like hurt when I sit straight while playing vs hunched
You are probably not very used to it. He also tries to move your pelvis forward (there are exercises on pelvic control).
@@Mistery980 thanks
The reasons could be several at once. From congeital to habits to perception. A distinction must be done between sitting straight from sitting with a straight spine, which is impossible. The spine has natural curves which transfer weight down. This is why each case has to be observed by a specialist.
Could you include the sources in the video description?
Hello. Do you mean the music or the references. Best!
References.
Thank you so much for making this video free with such valuable information that is so enlightening. Now when I play on the instrument, I will give more thoughts to the fingering and positioning of my fingers.
Glad it what useful. Regards!
What is the piece at 0:25?
Grande Valse Op.42 in E flat Major.
Great video! What’s the name of the piece at the end?
Nocturne Op.55 Nº1 in f minor. Thanks for watching.
@ thanks to you! i’ve been looking for this piece for such a long time
How to build intrinsic muscle?
By playing the piano like Chopin recommended! The piano keyboard is already the most sophisticated "gym" for the intrinsics, one where no brute force is required. The use of elastic bands or strengthener devices is certainly detrimental to fine piano playing. Intrinsic muscles are susceptible to muscle fibre type bias (strong but slow vs weak but fast) depending on the training. Perhaps it would be better to study these muscles and practice the piano knowing what can they do (finger flexion, abduction, adduction, phalanx extension, propioception, etc.). Having said all this, the thumb can be subjected to a short drills for speed building. Then again, this requires that the pianist be aware of the thumb articulation and muscle action locations.
@@thechopinmethod7257how about double jointed fingers of the first joints for finger 2 to 5? I have problem with the finger standing support due to this. And also how to tackle focal hand dystonia?
Would have to observe your case to give an opinion because I don't quite understand what you mean by "double joint fingers". Upper limb dystonia is fairly common among pianists who repeat wrong postures persistently.
@@thechopinmethod7257Double joints fingers like hyperflexible first joints of the fingers.. as if the fingers either bent in or bent out that the fingers can't support or stand properly on the keys. How to retrain for this and focal hand dystonia?
7:30 mi potrebbe indicare il titolo? Grazie
Nocturne Op.55 Nº1 in f minor.
😮
求问0:31是什么曲子（）
Grande Valse Op.42 in E flat Major
@ Thank you!
0:36 What is this song?! Gorgeous!
Nocturne Op.55 Nº2 in E flat Major. Thanks for watching.
Ivory keyboard?????🤔🤔🤔🤔
Used on 10000ö§ of piano keyboards in the past. It’s unfortunately not reversible.
