    I always find interesting how it doesn't matter if you are a professional like she is, or a intermediate student like me, or a beginner student like many people, we all struggle the same way at our repertoire, finding the flow of a passage, trying to solve a confusing part, repeating something over and over until it sounds right.

    • @Ophius
      @Ophius 3 года назад +28

      I found that as I got better, the time taken for a particular section of x difficulty decreases, but the struggle is always there. Getting the muscle memory, interpreting it, cleaning up the technique, remembering the composition. It's always an uphill struggle, and I'm glad it remains only as a hobby, because otherwise it'd suck the fun out of music.

    • @mercy5056
      @mercy5056 3 года назад +3

      honestly! it’s so inspiring as a young student to watch professionals or have them tell you that they also struggle because I think sometimes as a newer player it’s really easy to feel like you’re the only one that struggles that hard or repeatedly makes the same mistakes

    Me and my cousin used to live together and she used to practice everyday while I was studying. I always thought it was annoying to listen the same part a 1000 time. But now that she moved out I sometimes search for pianist practicing on RUclips and listen while studying, it's oddly relaxing

    I wish I had a roommate I could hear practice all day. Concerts with perfected interpretations are great but hearing the physical and mental exploration of the instrument and the music by someone else is a very human experience. You can hear the brain progressively tying together the mechanics of the hammers to the musicality of the piece with everything in between.

      Yep, same happened to me (the 15 minutes, I mean). I didn't know that piece either until Tiff sight-read it for us. Early Chopin is tricky because he made more emphasis on virtuosity playing and technical challenges than in later works, although his sonatas are pretty challenging.

      That's why I love Tiffany's video. Other pianists tend to package themselves as some pure prodigies, while Tiffany is always willing to show her real progress.

      Learning how to pass your thumb under your hand without twisting your wrist is critical and to do this properly you'll need to learn a special arm/wrist/hand technique. Notice how Tiffany 'leads with her elbow' as her right-hand moves upward. This is called, 'Floating Elbow' technique. I think it's better described as a 'swooping elbow' where the elbow swoops up and over, pulling the forearm and the hand along with it. You have to use your biceps to do this. Using your biceps allows the strong muscles to pull the weight of the forearm and the hand. This is what I call, 'Magic Carpet Ride' where the fingers are not trying to pull the weight of the hand and forearm; the fingers are simply 'along for the ride' freeing them from any heavy lifting. This gives the fingers complete and untethered freedom to strike the keys in the required location. So, the very smooth movements you observed are the result of passing the thumb under the hand without twisting the wrist and getting the fingers into their proper position by activating Floating Elbow technique.

    So nice! Thanks for sharing your practice. The pleasure is twofold: we get to see your process and for the piano students out there we learn some technique with with you, watch your finger, posture, etc.
