Another great lesson Robert! I learned how to play 3 against 4 basically the way you described. Once I was able to grasp the basic concept I practiced by playing scales covering 4 octaves in one hand and 3 octaves is the other hand. That was really helpful in increasing my evenness and speed.
I'm learning Chopin's Prelude in Em at the moment so this video is incredibly apposite! I know it's 3 against 2, not 3 against 4, but this is still a great lesson. Thank you so much.
I learned 3 against 2 first, with a combination of math and just the physical coordination and that worked. Then 4 against 3 when I learned Fantasie Impromtu by Chopin. Early on I became fascinated with compound rhythms and worked at them obsessively because they do happen more often than not!
Good timing with the video (no pun intended)-thanks! Measure 82 of 3rd movement of Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata….a good example of 3 against 4. A bit of a challenge 😀.
Nice! Might be out of the scope of this channel or video but it would be nice for you to do a series on poly rhythms and how to practice them all at the piano efficiently.
Hello Robert: I'm surprised you didn't mention rhythmic phrases that make this very easy: "Pass the golden butter" or "Not very difficult," (etc), depending what the underlying rhythmic grouping is (3 or 4).
Could you do a video on techniques to make a bright piano sound darker. I love bright pianos for Baroque music (which had been my primary repertoire) but when it comes to classical Era or romantic Era a deeper darker sound is really needed.

I think my brain is leaking.

Please do a Fantaisie Impromptu Tutorial.

These phrases have the correct rhythm.
3 against 2: "George Washington"
4 against 3: "Pass the fu**ing butter"
😂 for me it was pass-the-GD-butter.
Great video, I am currently working on the Godowski arrangement of the swan. I am gonna try your hack to see if it works for me. Thanks a lot!

I've always gone with the simple, "Together - Right - Left -Right - Left - Right".

Thank you for this, what about pieces like Chopin’s nocturne in b flat minor, where it has 6 against 11?
Is it op 9 no 1?

@@LivingPianosVideos Wow! Thank you so much! God bless you.
actually it's so complicated but I'll give it a try .
"Not very difficult"
