Haha… it’s odd. You’re right. But pianists are normally unaware of having harmonics on the strings so I thought it would be useful to show it that way…🙃
Es maravilloso ver la precisión con la que consigues el sonido armónico y la claridad con la que se percibe. Esta tarde tengo que interpretar en el FIMIM el Metaludio de Gustavo Díaz-Jerez "'Étude pour les unissons" y después de ver tu interpretación, no sé cómo tengo la osadía. Eres mi referente. Gracias por tus maravillosos consejos.
If you quietly press down on a note so that the string isn't struck but the dampener is lifted and then staccato the note an octave lower, the note you pressed down will ring for a while even after the note you actually played stops and it's an interesting effect that kinda reminds me of natural harmonics on the guitar or violin.
Is there a way to dampen/ press the strings at the desired position without using a finger? So that one use both hands at the piano. Maybe a kind of sticky rubber?
this is a very good question. I have thought about it many times. Building a device that would allow me to do exactly that. Of course, with two performers, one could be in charge of the harmonics and the other just playing. There are some pieces with this idea. There was also an invention for wich Stefano Gervasoni wrote a pice quite a long time ago. It used long metal tubes with rubber at the end touching the strings on one end and the open lid of the piano on the other...I am sure there are many more ideas around this...
@@RicardoDescalzo Yes, two performers makes it a lot more flexible for sure. It'd be good if there was sth like the maqiano device but for harmonics. (The maqiano enables microtones in the lower half of the piano by putting the device on the strings).
@@tavitenorclef Hi…I’m sure there are some…but I did the research by myself experimenting directly on the piano, so I don’t know where you can find them…let me know if you do…all best
@@RicardoDescalzo This has been on my mind for such a long time as well! Thank you for the pointer, of course there is someone else who has already thought of this
Question: how do you find the nodes while performing a piece (when you can't take the time to measure the string) ? Is there someway to mark the position?
Hola. Muchas gracias por escribir. Sí, debería decirlo. Pongo una cuña en el pedal para que se mantenga presionado y tener todas las notas abiertas....
As a guitarist I would never think to bust out a tape measure to find harmonics. 😆

Me alegro mucho que te sirva todo este contenido. Espero que fuera muy bien tu interpretación de la obra de Gustavo. Gracias por tus palabras…

Yes. It’s a lovely effect. Many composers have used it. Do you know Bartók using it in Mikrokowmos 102 (a piece named “Harmonics”)?
Thanks very much for sharing the video! Finally I realized how the lowest section of 97-key piano are tuned.
I'm happy it helped...
Thank you so much for this, it is very useful, cheers! :)
So happy to know…😊

is there a chart on which it could show the sounding pitches of the specific nodes on the strings?
@@tavitenorclef Hi…I’m sure there are some…but I did the research by myself experimenting directly on the piano, so I don’t know where you can find them…let me know if you do…all best
Someone should make a piano which has a mechanism that could activate overtones on the strings.
I have thought of this many times. There have been experiments, I remember the POP Piano Overtones Production System. Look for it in the internet.

Hi. Yes, see my video about it here:

Muy buen video! Gracias! No entiendo como haces para sonar la cuerda sin que nadie presione el pedal de sustain

muchas gracias
Play slide guitar on it. 😁
Like lap steel.
It would be fun…🤗
