To the people who can play level eight because of youtube but not the easier stuff
Pin one month later!
the jump from level five to six is too much
its cus the coda of la campanella is quite easy
Yeah, I find the coda of La Campanella very easy. This is probably because octaves are one of my strong points.
@@jinxzy1071Indeed but only if you feel comfortable with octaves. I heard opinions the coda is pretty hard just because of the octaves. I haven't played La Campanella yet however I guess the coda is going to be no problem after me played Scriabin's D# minor Etude😅
@vanek_9397 Trust me, the coda is not something to worry about. The hardest part about it is the jumps in the left. You’ll be fine. However the parts with trills in the right with 4 and 5 are just evil. But if you have good control there the rest is fine.
@@FriskaPianoi practice it with 45 because etude but if i had to record it i would use 35
What!? Double octaves on Twinkle Twinkle to the CODA OF LA CAMPANELLA!? Bro's trippin'
The coda of la Campanella really isn’t that hard.
Nah the la campanella coda is easy
The pre coda section is harder ngl, those jumps really needs cross eye vision to get it right.
@@BlueBedrockGaming Or good muscle memory.
@@FriskaPianola Campanella coda actually not very hard, but it takes power and strength a lot, can play or play well are two different things
My level 20 list
level 13 is ballade 4
Level 14 will be sonata in b minor
Level 15 gaspard de la nuit
Level 16 Rach 3
Level 17 Liszt symphony fantastic (Berlioz)
Level 18 Alkan concerto for solo piano
Level 19 Mereaux grand etude op 63 no 60
Level 20 Mereaux Scherzo alla Napolitana
Alkan symphony for solo piano based
@@Jartiousoh no. I typed it wrong, it should be concerto for solo piano
Also Liszt Spanish Fantasy
Level 11 and 12 should be switched, Liszt Rhapsody 2 is just that hard. Very close to chopin b4.
Level 21: S140 no.4b on original tempo
Putting octaves twinkle twinkle above river flows in you is diabolical
Have you seen the left hand? 😂
River flow in you is effortless
@@Pamela-dv7gb It's true, I believe the jump from RFIY to twinkle twinkle (vous dirai-je maman) but in octaves is the biggest jump in the video, even more than 5 to 6, which is the most controversial part of this video.
@@FriskaPianoAs a pianist I understand you, jumping octave is anoying and requires precision
both are really easy
"I met the girl under full bloomed cherry blossoms , and my fate has begun to change."
Nah i lost hope in level 2-
It was easy until level 5
Nice video Friska! :D I loved the river flows in you part and the la Campanella but all of it is so good 😁 keep up the great work 👏👏👏
Thank you! 😄
you're so skilled 🔥 also that lightiiing 😍😍
Thank you so much for the support, this was a very controversial video 😂
Wow im also 14 years old, and also started to play in 2020, but you are way more skilled than me, congrats, im struggling with fantasie impromptu coda, that technique is hard!
The coda has no polyrhythms, what about it makes you struggle?? You have the worst behind you if you are on the coda now. Thank you so much for the comment!
@@FriskaPianothe fucking technique that you have to change the hand position very fast, and i cant my hand just hurts a lot
And the polyrhythm is very easy i think
It’s annoying I know, but I think the trick is to be lead by 2 and 3, and sort of pivot on them rather than a jump. I might make a second tutorial channel where I could cover it in more detail.
I struggled in the polyrhythm perspective personally, probably since I came from a very rhythmic background (rondo alla turka, flight of the bumblebee, solfeggietto etc.).
La Campanella is so much harder thsn Fantaisie Impromptu. (At least the whole piece of La campanella)
You’re most definitely right, but I based this off of passages from pieces, that’s why la Campanella comes up 3 times.
@@FriskaPiano You just earned a sub from me :)
@AllaboutDale you too!
Yes much harder
No, la campanella in the first part hasnt much notes (idk how it says in english srry) fantaisie impromptu it technically more difficult
My final recommendation for students is to play further variety (this will help both in the present and future). Try out some Bach, as it is highly educational both in performance and theory. Mozart will also help, as the delicacy required to interpret well will be extremely beneficial. Besides Bach and Mozart, give a go to sonate. Choose a full-duration sonata to work on, and you'll learn both interpretation and structure. If you have exams, work on those exam pieces*first*.
I am actually currently working on Bach's Goldberg variations, but I have sort of left Mozart because generally I don't enjoy his pieces that much.
How is la Campanella ending easier that the beginning and right after some octave song 💀
Personally, I find it very easy. I am better at octaves than jumps so relative to me, it is not deserving of a higher spot.
@@FriskaPiano that's more understandable than I first thought
@@FriskaPianosame too, I learned the coda faster than the beginning jumps
Yeah it’s definitely easier than the beginning
Amazing skills! Love from Japan🔥🔥
Thank you so much! 🍣🍣
I'm sorry for ever touching a piano
It's OK :)
Your skills are really good, but the camera angle amazes me soo much for some reason. How did you get your camera there? Im assuming a tripod, but how high is it from the ground? Thanks, +1 sub
Thanks for the sub! I have a camera on a stand that’s originally meant for lights, but I had two so I only used one light and put the camera about 1.5 meters high on the other stand.
Level 13: fluent improvisation over chord progressions
Level 14: fluent free improvisation
Level 15: fluent improvisation over random inputs of notes and rhythm
Level 16 franz liszt improvisation level (the whole hungarian rhapsody 14 was made in impro so it’s really impresive)
@@Pamela-dv7gb Yea but it was made based on existing Hungarian dance themes he was inspired by. Blank state improvs and spontaneously improvising on random and not always necessary very musical inputs is still much more difficult and a better indicator of raw talent.
Surely every improvisation is somewhat inspired, maybe subconsciously but still inspired? I don’t do much improvisation so I don’t know entirely, but I’m surely inspired when I do.
A lot of great classical pianists don’t really improvise. It’s more of a jazz thing now
@@OziCastle I agree, but that doesn't make improvisation any less impressive.
Nice video!
Thanks :)
Really nice camera work and lighting!
@@cyb9011 Thank you so much!!
Great illumination of the piano
Thanks! Nice pfp by the way.
@@FriskaPiano Thank you😊
@@alborzpiano No problem!
I just played the Fantasie Impromtpu and I don’t think I’m even going to be thinking of trying La Campanella Hungarian Rhapsody or Ballade 1 any time soon
They are different styles after all, easiest of all three pieces (thinking of them as full pieces) is definitely the Ballade. Very little of the first ballade is very difficult, but if you can get the hang of the coda, RH arpeggios and LH jumps, the piece won’t seem as daunting as other people make it so.
@@FriskaPiano I don’t think I’m ready to try to ballade any time soon… from what I’ve gathered this is much too big of a difficulty jump. Prob will try Scherzo 2 at most and see if I could handle that
@jasonhe5578 That makes sense. Definitely a great piece to aspire to though :)
@@FriskaPiano is jumping from waltz in a minor to feux follets good?
@@TwitterChannelOfficial Do you mean Chopin waltz?
AMAZING video, deserves much more fame. im 15 and i am learning winter wind and la campenella i can play the beginning perfectly of la campenella. im also learning moonlight sonata 3rd movement
Very nice!!! I might make a part two of this video and I am thinking it might be a collab between a few RUclipsrs. Just wondering if you would like to be one of those people?? It might be a while since I am away and have 2 videos to work on before, but it would be great to have someone like you. It might end up being a different video but it will still be a compilation based video (like this one). Thank you so much for the support and the comment :)
Is it good if i'm lvl 7 with almost 2 years playing piano
I believe so, I learned flight of the bumblebee on almost exactly 2 years, by maybe a month or so more, so you’re already ahead of me. Well done for the fast progress!
My last German Shepherd was a female we named her Mazeppa. Died last year at 11. So, bought a new dog, a male German Shepherd...I really wanted to name it after another Liszt piece, and indeed considered Friska. Too feminine for a male dog, so went slummin' with Ravel, lol, and went with Scarbo. Hey--that would be a 12 too!
Could have done Cadenza
The flight of the bumblebee:
Twoset: S A C R E L I G I O U S
I don't get the whole twosetviolin sacrilegious thing. Idk where it came from originally.
I disagree with this ranking personally.
Whilst the coda of La Campanella is much easier than most other sections of the piece, it is still quite difficult to play well and is underrated on this list imo. The beginning of the piece is also easier than the coda for me (I have played this piece in a recital).
Also the ‘harder part’ of La Campanella is definitely easier than the Fantaisie impromptu for me. Ballade 1 Coda is also harder than the section of Friska in this video, but the rest of Friska is harder than the Ballade Coda.
Looking back, I would have switched it with Flight of the Bumblebee but it definitely isn't deserving of a higher spot on the list. HR2 friska as the whole section is harder easily than Ballade no.1 but individual parts I believe only a couple parts exceed the difficulty of it. Most of it is fine I think.
@@FriskaPianoBut the beginning of La Campanella is easy?
With enough muscle memory it is, but not easier than other parts before on the list.
Hi! What camera do you use? It’s my birthday soon and would like a good camera
Hello! Happy birthday in advance! I use a Sony a6400, which is directed mainly towards photography, in which I greatly recommend it, but it is a bit of a pain to work with when it comes to using it with your phone. If you have a high-end budget and are looking for a good video camera look at RED, but a great mid range brand is Blackmagic. The main difference between these cameras is resolution and frame-rate, but all other aspects depend on the lens, which is the thing you want to focus on the most, as lenses define your range of aperture, field of view and focal length. So honestly if I were you, I would look for a mid range Sony camera but a great lens, most cameras will give you 4k@60fps in any price range anyway, which is above the film industry standard of generally 2-4K@24-30fps.
I hope this wasn’t too confusing, if it was, let me know and I’ll try find a way to be more straightforward.
@@FriskaPiano Wow sounds like you really know your stuff! Thanks so much 🙏 will look into the Sony a6400 though it aught to be very expensive. I’ll likely go cheaper but thank you again for your response
@OziCastle No problem, generally with Sony, you can’t go wrong. But focus on the lens is my tip. Find out what style you are going to be doing and find the lens that corresponds to it.
How'bout double thirds my friend =))))
From when is impromtu harder tha la campanella coda and begging, like maybe beggining is easy, but I consider the coda to be the hardest part of la campanella(I did both). The double note part of la campanella si actually easier than the code because of the technique. Nice video G
Thanks, but the coda of La Campanella most definitely isn't the hardest part of La Campanella, the beginning might be easier, but that comes down to muscle memory, which I don't have much of since I don't play it for a long time before this video.
First again! I wasnt even that quick today.
I'm 13 years old and started learning can raise impromptu.
After it my new goal will be la campanella
Nice! Ever since I finished Fantasie Impromptu I have been working on multiple pieces at the same time but never settling for a specific piece. Until recently that is, where I started Mereaux's Etude no. 45

Sure, what would you like help with first?

Amazing! Are you going to learn a cadenza?
@@FriskaPiano Idk which one to learn which do you recommend
@@randomkidbelkke12 Depends on your skill level and interest, what level would you say is your highest on the list?
@@randomkidbelkke12hamelin cadenza!!
2:47 tom and jerry
Indeed.
I am good with otctaves and jumps. What you did with la conpanella was really cool. The coda and the beginning of la campanella are the only parts that I can play and the ending is really easy indeed on a technical level. The right hand is in a descending scale and the left hand is just 1 octave jump per chord
Is it comparable to turkish march's coda? I think so XD
Yeah it is very easy and overrated but I wouldn’t compare it to the TM coda, 3/4 of the time it’s one note in the left, and the right hand is very simple. I think the challenge in both of these lies in playing them well.
Good luck I hope you get in
Thank you!
That's amazing, I think you have a better future
Thanks :)
I'm thinking of making a gd playlist of videos where I make piano covers of gd songs. Also congrats on 200 subs!
level nine was the first classical piece i learned
Cool!
Where would you say Maple Leaf Rag equates on this list?
This list references passages, so only parts of pieces. What part of Maple leaf Rag would you like me to reference to the list??
I would rate myself between level 4 and 5!
Nice!
Bro you have such an insane setup tho what do you use?
The piano is a Kawai CA98 (amazing piano? Definitely recommend) I have a soft box light and a Sony a6400 on a tripod, some of my vids use a green screen but that’s it.

HR2 friska is HARDER than the ballade no. 1 coda
@@Chromaticly Depends what part, imo the part I played from the friska is a lot easier than the ballade coda.
never give bro the aux😭😭
What lvl would rondo alla turca be in
somewhere in the 4-6 range depending on what part.
I think ur skipping one of the 2 octave jumps at the beginning of la Campanella. When it repeats an octave lower the top d# is still on the higher octave for one of the jumps.
My mistake, you're right. Thank you :)
@@FriskaPiano welcome. Didn't mean to come off as a 🤓
@@Numberonesorabjifan Dw you didn't. As long as criticism is constructive and not pure insult, I appreciate it. Thank you.
I love ballade no 1 but there is zero chance i could play 75% of it 💀
Only about 25% of it is hard, most parts sound more daunting than they actually are.
I can actually play fabtaisie-impromtu but i struggle with things like twinkle star 😭😭
Why? I’m presuming that you don’t struggle technically.

@@FriskaPianothat piece killed me
@@ryzikxpiano I watched that short like 80 times (no exaggeration) in mesmerisation. Also read the comment speech that you made, and tried to reply but none of my comments seemed to upload to the server :(
@@FriskaPiano yea i deleted the entire thread a while ago. what were u trying to say?
@ryzikxpiano just how I agreed with what you said but I would definitely steer away from synthesia if you are looking for long-term improvement. Not much in fairness.
14 years old ? How did you manage to learn and play them, just the reading of scores is insane… also La Campanella, Hungarian Rhapsody, fantaisie impromptu… are way too demanding, how did you seriously keep them in your mind ? I assume that you also go to school at this age, so I am really wondering how you reached a such level at this age…
Thank you so much!! I started off with my first piece being Fur Elise, and I managed to memorise it fully because I couldn’t sight read, and that just kind of stuck. Ever since I used a similar approach to learn pieces. I didn’t actually learn La Campanella, I gave up when it wanted me to play trills with 4 and 5 because that’s genuinely evil, but the major parts I can play are all in this video, Hungarian Rhapsody I only learned small parts of too, I would have featured it in this video more if I knew it. But I am still working on it as we speak. I guess I do revise pieces a lot so I do maintain the memory and muscle memory for quite long. I guess this is all thanks to a lack of sight reading ability, as then I am forced to memorise them.
Also lockdown helped a bit 😂
bro where is hehehha pfp
I can play Chopin Ballade 1 coda, but i find Coda from Ballade 4 even more difficult. What level is it?
Never tried it myself, but it does seem harder than Ballade no.1 coda. In that case it would go above level 12, which is the highest level, so 13. Thanks foe the comment :)
@@FriskaPiano Ballade 1 Coda Is pretty hard, though.
@@EdwinSamaniego-d8p Idk, I've never tried it myself so I can't tell where I would put it. Sorry.
Até a quinta está bem condizente, depois da sexta ficou confuso!
It's quite a controversial list, if that's what you mean. :/
2:32 what sounds easy but is hard:
It sounds easy??
@@FriskaPiano ok by easy I mean doesn’t sound as hard as it is
@@abrahamjh5742 fair enough
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is Harder than ballade 1, which is harder than la campanella, which is DEFINITELY harder than fantaisie impromptu (I would change the list to be like this in my opinion)
Hr2 just sounds flashy. Ballade no 1 is imo harder
The ballade coda so much harder than any part of la Campanella. I am one to speak: I learned them!
Rhapsody 2 IS seriously that hard. I'd even say it's close to Chopin ballade 4, maybe even the same level. (YES I HAVE PLAYED BOTH.) The stretches are absurd and it physically hurts playing them. Same with the fast scales near the end. People say the repeated notes are hard but after a few months it gets way easier, while the stretches and scales just stay difficult even after all that practice.
As a pianist who can play Ballade No. 1 and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 I think that Ballade No. 1 has some more difficult techniques but I respect your opinion
Just not that this is referring to the parts I played only, not entire pieces. HR2 is significantly harder than B1 but I find the coda harder than the part I played of HR2.
I knew for a fact level 12 would be ballade no 1
Twinkle Twinkle octaves + octaves to La Campanella (CODA) left me speechless💀💀
The coda of La Campanella sounds much harder than it actually is, and octaves in both hands twinkle sounds easier than it actually is. The gap is smaller than most think.
@@FriskaPiano twinkle twinkle little star in both octaves is easy like very easy every pianist can play it in less than 1 day. But in the La Campanella coda is so much harder because you need 5 Years + expierience to play it and it takes months or maybe years to learn La Campanella coda
Idk, I didn’t see much of a gap personally. It’s not easy but it’s simple, left hand octaves to 3 chords with a good gap of time for the jump, and the right is just the melody in octaves. It really wasn’t that hard for me to learn.
La Campanella jumpscare
Lol
1st chopin ballad harder than la campanella? There is no way you mean that...
The coda is the hardest passage of all played in this video. I am one to speak: I played everything in this video.

Level 50 RUSH E
Classical music only 😠
@@FriskaPianoRush E is a warm-up for any classical pianist.
and little star is not a classic piece
Twinkle is actually a piece by Mozart (called “A vous dirai-je, Maman”) but was adopted for nursery rhymes, it’s used for twinkle and the alphabet song.
may i ask if you're taking lessons?
@@kseniazolotov6427 Yes I am :)
2 is not twinkle...It's Mozart-Spring
It's generally more known as twinkle tinkle thanks to the nursery rhymes, so I did it for the sake of recognition. Its actual name is "Ah vous dirai-je, maman", which is quite funnily French for "Ah! Would I tell you, mum!". But you are right it is written by Mozart. However I didn't play any of his official 12 variations, so in that case it may be more accurate to call it twinkle twinkle too.
This list is, interesting. Some of these make sense, but others are just weird to me: La Campanella is way harder than fantasy impromptu, and almost certainly Ballade no 1. I guess it depends which skills are more easily tackled but La Campanella goes crazy lol
Check what’s in bold in the description, that should explain it for you.
@@FriskaPiano That makes more sense, although I may still argue that at least one of the parts in La Campanella might be a at least around Ballade no 1's coda: depending on which one finds easier, lots of chords and fast hand movement or pinpoint precision note hitting lol.
Also it might just be I happen to recall a number of classical songs with difficult parts, but there are probably some honorable mentions: maybe for a separate list lol
The other 3 Ballades definitely have some awesome parts in them, and in the codas
@@stephencarlton-jones7119 I see where you're coming from, however I definitely feel the Ballade no. 1 coda is is the hardest passage in this video. Other parts of the HR2 Friska do come close however I still think it's harder. That part of La Campanella you referenced is very difficult to me to play with dynamics and consistency. However this list is purely subjective, and I greatly appreciate the comment, thank you =D
@@FriskaPiano your welcome, maybe its down to what styles are easier or harder for people individually: as the style may be more conducive for some than others. Either way Ballade no 1's coda is one of the hardest piano bits to get down, let alone well. I can play it, and the whole Ballade, but its a royal challenge: especially to maintain stamina for the whole piece and to practice enough to be able to handle it.
To you which Level would be something like the transcription of the symphonie 9 of Beethoven by liszt or réminiscence de don Juan ?
I have never attempted a transcription of symphony 9, however it seems that most of the difficulty comes from the length, and the focus of this video is difficulty based on passages so that it's all rated by technical skill and not really anything else, so in this case I would put it at about level 9 to 10.
The Réminiscences de Don Juan however, looking at the coda, it would be at around level 12, but at lowest at around 11. I have also not attempted this one though so this is just an estimate.
I'm actually not that experienced either way with about 4y, so looking at pieces by notes or others playing them I can't really tell all that well where the difficulty stands until I attempt them myself, so take my estimations with a pinch of salt.
@@Pamela-dv7gb Would you agree?
I would say don juan is a 14 with just the coda being a 15. The beethoven transcription is a 17-18, its objectively one of liszts top 3 pieces, and one of the hardest classical pieces ever.
@@matthewm5066 where would you put the coda of Scherzo Alla Napolitana by Mereaux? Just out of interest.
you know that the la campanella coda is much harder then the beginning? the beginning is the easiest part in the whole piece...
depends on if you can do the right hand jumps
@@FranzLisztVeryReal no. I learnt the piece, it's all muscle memory. With correct wrist movements and rotations it's really easy, trust me - it's just looks so hard and cool. If you try with just your fingers it's so hard yes, but if you use the movements of waving your hand (like waving hands with someone) then it should do the trick.
I find the coda easier because it is octaves mainly, which I am better at than jumps.
I do agree that it is very much muscle memory based though. Also I personally found the coda much, much easier to get the hang of, and I do not believe that the beginning is the easiest part of the whole piece. Not by far, but I think the coda is definitely easier.
*i have no offense in this comment*
Foremost, I know this is subjective to you, but how the heck did Fantaisie Impromptu get above La Campanella?
Either way, I'll make a rather objective tier list which is a reformation of yours with additions under this subjective tier list video.
1: Chopsticks
2. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Basic)
3. Burgmuller L'Arabesque (Etude Op. 100 No. 2)
5. Sonata K. 545 First Mov (student, not perfection)
6. 4. Fur Elise (Bagatelle No. 25)
7. Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2
8. Fantaisie Impromptu
9. Pathetique/Moonlight Sonata (full)
10. La Campanella
11. Ballade No. 1
12. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
According to the way this progresses, there could be about 3 more levels or so
ALSO: There are a few holes in this list. Pathetique to La campenella skips at least one major step
The reason Fantasie Impromptu came above La Campanella is not because it is in any way a harder piece, but rather that passage of Fantasie Impromptu is (to me) harder than the first two mentioned passages of La Campanella. Thanks for the list, but in your case, how on earth is HR2 above the entire piece of La Campanella?
So it's not based on the whole song but rather on little snapshots of them. That's the reason why there are 3 sections with La Campanella.
@@FriskaPiano yep yep (replying to the levels of difficulty vid) I don't want other people confused. They might not notice that this list is subjective, so if you don't mind, I'll leave it here for others to compare subjectivity to objectivity (meant for educational purposes)
@@FriskaPiano (HR2 above La Campanella comment) Most people say it is. Examining the piece, you could choose a candenza from difficult to extreme (Hamelin??). It's also longer and contains more musical depth. If played at concert tradition speed, most report that it's tougher than La Campanella. For you, I'm glad that HR2 isn't too bad; that shows virtuosity within you already
@@JerryEboy69 It's fine, thank you for the support :)

Nice, how's it going?
The hungarian Rhapsody no 2, friska (part showed on that video) is not really hard
I put it there because I find the lh jumps difficult.
@@FriskaPiano so thats why 🤔
@@funmadboi Yeah, this video is subjective to me: it's all in order of what I find difficult.
Agreed
The RIGHT hand is the issue. The stretches are insane. Months after learning the whole piece I still struggle with the part in the Lassan where you have to stretch your 2nd and 4th fingers to reach a sixth before playing a trill with your 4th and 5th finger.
Friska only gets worse especially the >9th stretches with broken arpeggios. The ending with the fast scales too. Repeated notes and LH jumps I don't find difficult at all after a few months of practice but the rest still remains a problem.
I find HR2 way more difficult than Ballade n°01 personally
Comparing the pieces themselves I would agree, but the coda of the ballade is certainly harder than what I played in the video. There are parts in HR2 which definitely surpass the difficulty of the ballade.
@@FriskaPiano ofc the coda is terrifying, but HR2’s Friska is a monster
@@gabrielpdt My point is that the part that I played of HR2 in this video is not that difficult compared to the part I played of B1.
I thought level 12 will be something like winter wind.
Winter wind is very muscle memory based but not as technically intense as some of the things on the list.

My guy, i am a lot lower from experience and level of playing than you but PLEASE USE A METRONOME, thank you.
What do you mean? Which piece are you specifying? I practice all of these with a metronome except some more expressive pieces which slightly dynamic tempos bring out more emotion during performance. I wasn’t playing these at performance standard so they may have seemed off for that reason.
La campanella is harder than fantaisie impromptu
Read what’s in bold in the description
I played level 8
At 10 yrs old
Im 13 now (didn't improve 😢)
@@dark_holiday2 As long as you enjoy it, it doesn’t matter if you improved (unless you rely on improvement for motivation etc,)
are you high?
@@LORD_EYCH Yes
Im currently at 8.5 😂 (I suck at fantasy impromptu)
What about it are you struggling with?? Is it polyrhythms? Also why are there so many gd channels commenting and following my channel? I play gd myself but both of my yt accounts don’t have anything to do with it. Not saying it’s a bad thing though.
@@FriskaPianowtf i also play GD
@@Lechon_asiatico demon count??
@@FriskaPiano I’m ashamed to admit… I’ve always been too broke for piano lessons. So I got a really cheap keyboard for christmas in 2020 to pass the time during covid and decided to teach myself via. Piano tutorials (the falling notes ones). So I’m not a professional WHATSOEVER. I’m just a little teenager with autism that hopes to be as good as the people I see online 😭😂
I really wanna quit my family doesn’t support me and neither do I
@TridentTrist I started the exact same way! I got this cheap keyboard for Christmas and I used the on-board piano tutorials to learn half of Cannon in D. I eventually ended up spending hours and hours on it so eventually I got a Kawai CA98 on Christmas (the piano you see in this video). Since then I spent a ton of time doing my best to improve, and it was easy to be motivated by such an instrument. I’m no professional and I couldn’t sight read to save my life but I can tutor you if you would like?? I wouldn’t be available that often but like once a month I could ring you up on discord and I can give you free tutor sessions.
May I ask what Kawai piano you used in this video? If it was an electric piano then I would be impressed!
@@fluffybuttercup2132 It’s a CA98, it has the full Kawai grand piano key mechanism and insanely accurate sound but it’s a digital piano. I love it though and I definitely would recommend it, if you like a grand feel, this is the best there is (as I know of) for electric pianos.
5 to 6 is too much of a difference
I personally don’t really believe so.
Friska is way harder than the ballade no 1 coda(i swear i wont turn you in if you admit u were smoking while making this list)
@@FredericChopinReal I was comparing the passages I played, not the entire friska to the ballade coda, just what I played, and I can tell you with confidence that what I played from the friska is much easier than the ballade coda.
@@FriskaPiano well i guess we just are good at different techniques, for me almost any part of friska was much more difficult
Why are you on liszt’s side rather than your own!? You’re the real Chopin! Jokes aside, I agree that it is probably just different skill sets.
@@FriskaPiano Well, I and Liszt have an understanding, he focuses on virtuosity while I make my pieces emotional and sublime so that we dont complete as much, I never claimed that my pieces are super difficult.
@@FredericChopinReal That’s fair enough. Out of curiosity I’m going to see if @FranzLisztReal is an actual channel.
I’m learning liebesleid Rachmaninoff rn
Awesome!
@@FriskaPiano Rachmaninoff note placement is some of the hardest tho😂
Why do your hands look animated? Like Ai lol
I can explain...
Kwai cn37?
CA98 is the one I have.
Im on lvl 11 i think
Nice! Keep it up!
the videography is way too good for the content in the video
I don't know if that was a compliment or not.
@@FriskaPiano I'm complimenting the quality of the lighting and the production but nothing else lol, the video idea is interesting so I thought it would've been executed better
@hisky. That’s fair enough 😂
Im level 11
Nice!
bro 7 is way harder than 8 even i can play the beginning of la campanella and i am intermediate
Bumblebee is just chromatic 😂
God Dammit im only level 8 I thought this was beginner scale but I stopped at capability of playing at 8 😭Then again im only 15 so. 🗿🗿🗿
I’m 14 😅
@@FriskaPiano .......damn highest respect
You're literally amazing, how long have you been playing??
4 years, started at the age of 10
Thank you for the support by the way!! :)
Especially on such a controversial video 😂
I can only play between 5 and 6
That’s not bad at all.
I don’t mean that sarcastically.
@@FriskaPiano I can improve someday, I guess
@@FriskaPiano also if you have time, this is my other channel: @LoneWolf_Piano (the one with wolf mask)
@@steveph_yt_the_real If you’re motivated to improve, you will. If you aren’t and don’t have the passion: you won’t, and there wouldn’t be point to. You’re still half way up nevertheless.
