Ive been playing the piano for almost 11 years, and ever so rarely has the fast-octave scenario came across my repertoire. I tried to play it after a long time upon seeing this, and started bouncing as a whole on my seat :D very challenging piece but nothing you can’t accomplish after a certain amount of practice! Thank you for the tips :)
@@pandinhagamer1085 Yes and no. Of course it comes down to practice at the end of the day but If you can’t reach certain chords, there’s no amount of practice to make up for that. And certain patterns are just gonna be hard if not impossible to get. I’m thinking of the Friska section in the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 for example.
@@mules8662 yes, I agree whith you, but that's not my point, my point it's if you practice exercices your Hand will grow up and help you in the music, but I understand your point.
Honestly the only tutorial for La Campanella that has legitimately helped me! Even simply using the circle hand movement for the jumps has done wonders! Thank you so much.
I listened to this on a radio and I fell in love. It’s doesn’t sound that hard, until I have to sit down and start playing. Then I gave up, until 5 years later where quarantine happened and I get the courage to try. Wish me luck!!
@@psh7193 TIP for rhythm on right hand: Do those octaves in reverse [slow practice] tap each key hard; starting from right to left [1 and 5] as though the piece starts on the highest note: For some reason the mind finds the motion easier: Dont lift a finger of until you've spotted the next key to touch:
Some skills require good piano. The repeated notes are 100% not doable on my shitty poor piano because you litteraly can't hit twice the same key quickly. However on a high quality grand piano I can do it very well
@@Pear6000 yes, many grand pianos have a mechanism that allows you to repeat a note quickly after having played it, without having to wait that all the hammer system has reset most of upright pianos don't have it
At the beginning of the video, yes Josh how do u do that, Josh proceeds to keep questioning how he can do it while I'm like YES JOSH HOWWWE TELL ME THE SECRETSSS
Dude you have enormous hands. Also I had to run to my piano to try this first passage. Hot damn is that harder than it looks. Not many composers can humble a pianist like Liszt. Time to go eat some ice cream and wallow.
Thanks a lot . Really helped me with the skips and technique. I'm still not sure how to get the stretches as in bar 30 in the bass clef from G# 3 to C 5 .
Im playing this next week with only 2 years of knowledge on my belt and a keyboard. Im just getting my last bit of info before I go play it for a competition
the first octaves should be played in an arc movement of the hand and arm/wrist, The final octaves have to be played with the wrist dipping down on the first two repeated octaves and rising up on the 3rd and 4th repeated octaves. You play no 6 the same way. The wrist must be supple here moving down and up slightly as the octaves are played.
I run into this video and I really love it so much! First off, I love Liszt’s scores but the technical playing is so hard and very difficult, this video helps me a lot! Thank you so much :) I currently play the piano as a church musician! You could watch my videos in the channel :) God bless!
Hey Josh, your videos are great. I have a question. How do you play the chromatic 32nd note ascending runs on measure 74, there are 31 32nd notes in a 6/8 measure, how do you measure this when playing it?. and how do you measure the runs that start in measure 80 and end in measure 83?, there are a lot of 32nd notes in those measures?, are these free tempo?. Also how do you measure the runs that start on measure 101 and end on 102 and the one on measure 94 thanks lot!!!
I can play the jumps just fine on my digital, but when I get to an acoustic my ring finger keeps hitting the fallboard and stopping me in the middle of the jump. Any tips for that?
Dannetic I have that problem myself, I even hit the music stand on a grand😂 I find that with pieces like this, it usually because our fingers are too flat (as opposed to curved), and therefore extending too far forward, thus hitting the fallboard.
I have a rather simple question: I've always thought that if you put the time and effort into learning an instrument, and really put in the time to study and work, you could be come as proficient as anyone else. But a problem I've had with the piano is, being left-handed, I've been told that because of this lack of dexterity I'd never be able to play music like this. I've learned the more popular songs, relatively easier material, like Mozart's Turkish March, Chopin's Nocturne in C# minor, and while it took a lot of time and practice, I'm satisfied with how I play those pieces. I'd just like your opinion on the possibility, or impossibility, of a left-handed person ever playing pieces like this. Thanks.
A friend of mine is left handed and did competitions. Being right handed doesn’t deprive you from playing pieces that are very demanding for the left hand either (chopin op 10-12 and op 10-4 for instance)
@@tjcogger1974 Okay, but the score specifically says staccato. I just find it weird because in other pieces I’ve come across, staccatos are always played where written. With this piece however, I see top level concert pianists using pedal all the time and I’m wondering what they believe gives them liberty to do that when they wouldn’t do it on other pieces. Is there something special about this score that makes them optional?
I struggle with playing a tril whilst other fingers on the same hand play different notes like thisl: ruclips.net/video/OxBs9xoUSBE/видео.htmlm05s Presumably thats supposed to be played with 1 and 2 with thumb on the black key And this trill: ruclips.net/video/OxBs9xoUSBE/видео.htmlm38s I think i see people playing it with 3 and 4, or maybe 3 and 5? either way its hard to get that fast.
+GalaxyPlayz | Galaxy Trooper You could try the moment musicaux no.3 in b minor, the only difficultly with that piece is that there are a few big hand stretches
hey josh do you do non-classical ProPractice tutorials too? Im trying to learn this rachmaninoff-inspired piece called Scorpion Fire/ Anti-Ares / Sasoribi but no sheet has any clear finger instructions so I'm having issues in certain parts, and the only person plying it well I've found is this marasy guy here: ruclips.net/video/iFh2M9i86uM/видео.html (first song, up to like 2 mins 10 sec in, its the short version), but haven't seen anyone who actually knows english play it well to ask instructions from them, would really appreciate if you could learn and make a tutorial for it :)
1:17 that was so beautiful
So I AM in fact playing it right, after all... xD was kinda confused
i'm super balls deep into this piece. it plays in my head over and over.
A year later; how did you get on?
3 years later how did deep are you
5 years ago how are you bro
6 years later how's it going?

I really wanna know what it feels like to play this piece with long fingers…
I have long fingers, it’s still really hard
You Don't Need long fingers to play this music you Can play with small fingers just you practice
It's damn difficult 😂

he got HUGE hands to play the first 3 chords of the left hand without having to move his hand.
Why am I watching this, I’ve been playing the piano for less than 2 months :v
Because you want to know. I can't play this but I'm watching too. Maybe in a few years.
Hahahaha me the same situation!!!!
Same here :)
Maybe I'm just dreaming
Literally I haven't even started
You can start now to have enough time

I cant perfectly do that
Imagine how easy it was for Liszt, Liszt could reach a 13th
Szilárd Balog what a lucky girl she fingers.....
1:11 the high d-sharp should be played an octave higher. it's a skip of two octaves
He is going pretty fast sooo...
I noticed the same thing and came to leave a comment. 3 people already beat me to it :)
Jason he will flex his big hand on us
Some skills require good piano. The repeated notes are 100% not doable on my shitty poor piano because you litteraly can't hit twice the same key quickly. However on a high quality grand piano I can do it very well
You are absolutely right.
ruclips.net/video/ez_X4em2f9M/видео.html
Yeah, I mean, I don't know about hitting the keys, but I think for trills, it helps to have a good piano like a grand, because of the reverb
I can do it on my upright but its seriously hard lmao
@@Pear6000 yes, many grand pianos have a mechanism that allows you to repeat a note quickly after having played it, without having to wait that all the hammer system has reset

Josh, don't forget to breathe when you're doing a video! I'm not meaning to discourage, your videos are amazing and always very helpful.
Aha😅
Just bought the full lesson! I'm amazed!
awesome. I love this piece.
Hey Josh, do you have full video of this piece recorded from above?
I hope you'll be one day inspired to do a propractice on Liszt consolation N°3, I would love to hear you on that one
Brilliant, Josh!
I'm trying to lean this peace right now. It's so difficult haha. Thanks for doing this videos!!
Did you get it?
Hey Josh, recently bought your lesson, wanted to ask if you could upload a video where you play this entire peace? I love how you play it!!
legit trying to play this with my octave hand span.. the octaves with inner thirds at the last page is tiring me really bad..
Very good Josh I liked your videos
Mad skills Josh

Hi Josh! Is there a video on the F minor Ballade coming anytime soon?
Im seriously so jealous right now lmao

joshua what is your hand span (it seems really big 11th??)
1:20 sounds so much clear and better, than rushing and playing it too fast, that u did right before. Just my opinion
wow, you're playing it really nice! :3
Great stuff. I'd love to see one on Ravel's Ondine.

The hardest part is that trill thing the right hand does and when the left hand joins in, how do you trill so fast with those Weak fingers?
Im a self taught pianist idk why im thinking of attempting some of this, i taught myself the beginning of liebestraume no. 3 which was quite easy
I am learning chopins "wrong note" (op 25 no 5) at the moment, pleaaassee do a propractice on it!! i will give you candy
Me too, lol! He said to email him instead of commenting as it's easier and stuff, I think I'll go do that

Is the full video download or CD version? It asks me for shipping info. Wtfmate
I cannot play this piece al *Wright* heh...
Get it?

Does the full length piano tutorial show key to key on what to press and technique?

wait youre not playing the double octave D# jumps.
Would you do Totentanz by Liszt?
Pretty please?
Yo
Can you hear now
...Hi Josh...I got a lot out of watching the video of Thierry Chatelain playing it...;-)

i cant do the left but i can do the right
Cool!
What variation was played at 1:43?
The last one
I love you.
i cant read sheet music well but my hands be moving like fire
It took me max 2 weeks of no piano experience and i really mean no experience at all to learn the intro with the octave jumps for both hands
He is fun to watch even though i dont have a piano
nice!
what am I doing here? I'm still trying to learn Chopin's waltz 69 no 2
This is an etude a study, so true, but, what are you STUDYING for????
Prepare yourself to play Campanella . Play pieces by other composer with Campanella type of technique it’s a lot of them by different composers.
