Love your ProPractice videos. I plan to purchase this one as I'm starting again after an absence and I can learn a lot from you about shaping and pedalling and so much more!
I'm so glad I purchased this ProPractice video. This piece is so incredibly beautiful. I didn't even know it existed! Now I want to work on it all day long. Thank you so much, Josh!
Great video Josh! I would love if you could do a pro practice video on the Prelude from English Suite No. 3 by Bach, or even just a video about interpretation of Bach and general baroque music. Big fan :)
Interesting. Why so much rubato? Does everyone play it this way? I have no teacher, and after practising this on my own for a few sessions, this is the first performance of it that I've seen, but nowhere in my sheet music does it suggest rubato is to be used. It's apparently got the nickname Tolling Bells; it seems to me that if you use rubato the hypnotic element of the piece is lost, but what do I know, I'm just a beginning pianist.
MrMikomi well rubato is essential for playing romantic music, that's what makes it romantic and different from classical, and rubato is isn't usually mentioned in the sheets but it is almost inexcusable to play Chopin without rubato. Also, the nickname isn't given by Chopin himself.
In my opinion, this is one of Chopin’s most emotional pieces of work, I love it so much
I agree..Also I believe they played this at his funeral

Purchased the full video for this and totally worth it. So many minor things made clear. Super helpful, thank you.
Greateful for sharing the lessons!

exquisite.
Thank you, Josh! It is rather hard to balance. I am trying my best. I hear something about life and death in that piece - maybe Chopins own struggle.
Ashkenazy plays this beautifully.
Josh, you should do a ProPractice on a Liszt Etude. I know you've already done La Campanella, but maybe Gnomenreigen or a transcendental.

Gnomenreigen!!!
good
What piano level is this for?

No mention of Rafal Blechacz's perfect interpretation of this??
