you are the best teacher of the world!! I am happy to have internet!
You are such a brilliant teacher Greg. Wish I had you as my teacher when I was growing up!
Eine exzellente Auslegung dieses Schubert Stücks!!❤
breathtaking interpretation. thank you
Brilliant ! Wish I’d heard this decades ago !!
Thank you!!!!
I purchased the score for this piece because of you. This in an absolutely beautiful score.
Your explanations are very helpful. I like your comparison of touching the piano as you touch an animal. It is a treasure to listen to your teaching on Internet. Because I learn more that way. I hope I fall in love with my sound. (although things in music are not perfect as in life);
Thank you Greg God bless you and the project
Thank you dear Eydi!
@@gregniemczuk I love classic music for this is very accurate and perfect and everlasting
Just want to say a big thank you for posting these insightful videos, they have helped immensely with my piano studies, especially with auditions approaching in a few months. I love your warm touch on the piano and I hope I can listen to you play in person someday❤
Wow!!! You made my day with this comment. Congratulations and good luck!!!!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Lovely :) thank you
Thank you for this video. I have been playing for many years but never heard such a clear and helpful explanation on how to play. ❤😊
I'm trying my best to be straightforward and give simple advices based on my own experience and struggle
It is a lovely expression "to fall in love with your sound". I am practising with Rêve d'Amour from F. Liszt. I must admit that it is an easy version. Thank you so much dear Greg.
Looking and hearing for the second time your video. I would really like to have a beautiful sound. It is not easy. But I practice my Hanon and I try. I have a good piano. It is not easy. Thank you so much Greg.
Never give up!!!!
I am quite stubborn in life as well as at the piano. Thank you dear Greg.
this was an absolutely great advice for better piano playing!
👏👏👏Bravo!
I love this Schubert Impromptu! very difficult piece‼︎ it's difficult to play it smoothly. 🤔slow relax..thank you for uploading ‼︎
Un grand merci, un immense merci ! Vos vidéos m’aident énormément même en tant qu’amateur qui adore passer des heures à chercher le son …Vous êtes lumineux et à chaque fois si intelligent que j’en reste soufflée ! Merci 🙏
Merci Héléna!
One of my favorites pieces too! Thanks for these tutorials, they are really useful ❤
Wonderful lesson, thank you!
Thank you so much Greg.. I think this video tutorial of yours is the best one I have ever seen describing how to play with feeling. Would you say that you are actually linking the inner notes here that you are playing so beautifully and so softly and so quickly or are they just vertical and with crisp fingers and so very very close together? I so look forward to watching all of your you-tube videos. Thank you so much. Brian
Hi Brian. Thank you! Well, I think I'm linking them with soft fingers. Because staccato scratching would never really produce such a soft sound.
@@gregniemczuk Thank you so much for showing me this Greg. I understand now how soft fingers and linking them will make all the difference. You play your inner voice exquisitely. I am learning so much from you and I want to thank you from my heart. Brian
This is a GREAT tutorial, thanks!
Always insightful and helpful to appreciation. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! Same words as my very good teacher and pianist!!!
Good to hear that!!!
Bravo!!! C'est très émouvant, j'adore !!
Merci beaucoup!!!
Great video!
it is working. Thank you Greg. It is beautiful music from Schubert.
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for this video. This is something that would have really helped me when I was younger - I had feedback quite often that my touch was too 'harsh' for certain styles of music, but I didn't really understand appreciate what this meant. So much more to it than 'pushing the right buttons' :)
Es una caricia tan suave y dulce 😍cómo tocas el piano es tu sello inconfundible!!😍🌹 lo enseñas y es maravilloso, pero creo en verdad que es un talento nato 🌹
Thank you for video. Soft touch and generating the highest emotion on the piano is not easy but so cool. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Yes!! And so rewarding!
I am currently practicing Chopin's sonata This video was very helpful! thank you
Gold luck with this masterpiece!!!
Hi Greg, thank you for an other very interresting and inpiring video. I want to pkay this piece in Mai, so it was very helpfull.
utwór który lata temu wciągnął mnie w świat fortepianu! cieszę się że użył go pan jako przykładu, ponieważ niedawno postanowiłem się go nauczyć
Fantastycznie! Życzę powodzenia, pięknych przeżyć w graniu go!
Great video! In terms of sound, my favourite for this piece is Horowitz when he plays it live (he's an old man in the video and those 4 b flat notes in the RH he makes go gradually softer and softer) - and my other favourite for sound is Seymour Bernstein when he plays the Chopin nocturne no 1 (also on youtube). I was told this is the hardest impromptu by another concert pianist (but didn't believe her as I thought she was just trying to say something encouraging about my poor rendition of it!) so it's good to hear your confirmation of it being the hardest (and the reasons - which she did not tell me about).
Perhaps you could do a video explaining the very simple things in written music (like when you do and don't repeat the note that is apparently carried on into the next measure - I still don't understand this basic thing: is it that you only DO play the note twice if it has an obviously different note value and that otherwise you NEVER repeat that note when it appears again in the next measure - at the end of one of those long curved lines? If that's the case then what's the point in having that same note appear again in the next measure [carried over as it is by a slur or tie {?] Perhaps you could explain this type of basic music notation wit reference to beautiful/amazing works by major composers?
Anyway, thanks for a GREAT video!
Horowitz is definitely someone to check out when it comes to sound. It's unique, unbelievably good and wide, and expressive.
@@SCRIABINIST you're totally right. Horowitz 'piano gets alive under his fingers....
Maybe a video about legato pedaling? (Full pedal or half pedal or when we should not use pedal)
:)
Just tried this out on Schumann's Fast Zu Ernst and I believe it will make the difference I've been looking for. Thank you! I also love that Schubert Impromptu but it's a little "beyond" me still. Listened to your Nocturne C# minor Op. Posthumous today...so beautiful.
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy to hear that it's helpful!
I am playing the first movement of Sonatine from Ravel and this really helps.
Oh yes!!! There's the same problem there!
Yes... but what a composition!!! It's so dreamy! Ravel is this addictive composer. Once you start playing it, you can't stop.
I have never had my arms so floppy (fully relaxed) as when playing these type of pieces with crystal clear louder notes and faint small notes on the same hand. The only way to go about is the jiggly arm way... hahaha
@@irenedhakde4692 Yees, I agree with you!
cool i m the first comment ! great channel ! i like so much your art and your explain CURIOUSLY I M GUITARIST NOT PIANIST BUT PLAY TAPPING TECHNIQUE little few like piano !!!
Aewwwww thank you Fabien!!!!
@@gregniemczuk it s an honour to learn about piano with your explication !!( i m too professionnal about music)
Hello Maestro, can you do a video about mental practice? Pozdrowienia
Of course! Thanks for the advice
Thank you! I feel that this argument is not considered enough, and it should.
Mam pewną propozycję dotyczącą materiału następnego na ten przykład. Czy zechciałby Pan zrobić taki materiał w którym wskazałby Pan i króciutko opisał literaturę edukacyjna dla Pianistów czyli np. Pozycje które warto przeczytać by poprawić technikę gry, zrozumieć muzykę fortepianowa glebiej, kiedyś spotkałem się z tytułem "reka pianisty". Co Pan o tym sądzi?
Interesujący to temat. Ale chyba dość szeroki.... Mam w planie zrobienie wielkiego kursu o muzyce fortepianowej ale to też będzie troszkę co innego. Pomyślę o tym!
Hi Greg, do u think it’s also the same approach for louder sounds like the ending of appassionata 1st movement as I’m trying to learn. One must also approach keys gentile when playing fortissimo? U are right that this is a hard thing to teach. But your lessons are so clear and makes it easy to understand. Thank for your videos!
Yes! I think it's the same. Try to move your elbow while playing this chords and relax it. It should sound softer but loud.
how do you practice the fast but soft playing? You didn't really expand on that
Ohhhh yes... I'm so sorry!!! I forgot..... 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔. Well, I start from playing fast but touching only to half of the keys depth, which means that the sound is not always hearable. This is my starting point. I don't care for the sound but for the touch. Than I gradually add a little more and more weight. Should I make another video about that!
Unfortunately, I had to immediately pause this video, as you whacked the B flat with 5 from above the key. The resulting tone is jagged and unrefined, like a hiccup. Please grip from the key surface directly. (See the Horowitz video, but note that I do not recommend a bridge as low as his)
Thanks but I don't agree. I can play with my nose and produce a beautiful sound because the most important thing is what happens FROM THE MOMENT you touch the key, not before that. The SPEED of the finger going down. My speed was not fast so I don't agree with your description of this sound.
@gregniemczuk_official thanks and good afternoon from Canada! I actually agree, and it is because of this that our fingers should generally never need to leave the surface of the key. All sounds can be made, from ppp to fff, right from the surface. The speed with which you grip determines the quality of the tone. It's hard to explain this phenomenon via text; see Seymour Bernstein teaches Beethoven video with tonebase, about 20 mins in.
Greg, there is a problem. I don't know what it is !
