What challenges do you experience when playing Chopin Waltz in A minor op posth?
I'm starting it, it is beautiful and people say it's not too difficult. Indeed the jumps on the left hand has to be mastered as well as the arpegios on the right hand. But I think this piece deserves to be played with great emotion and softness...
A major part ornaments
Rubato :) Thanks for well-explained tutorial and greetings from Poland!
I finished the song, but I’m trying the duet version with my brother.
definitely the ornaments on the technical side and reaching a climax in emotion when it comes to the way it is played as you can see here : ruclips.net/video/LVQG24wlfvA/видео.html
I struggled quite a lot with this "quite simple" piece. Thank you for this tutorial, it was really helpful !
Siwan Rhys and Tom Donald it feels like we've entered into a new era of piano/music tuition. Thanks so much for these. (Incidentally - less important point: I wonder if anyone else like me prefers to hear the melody without ornamentation ?)
“The chords sound could just sit inside that sound.” That was remarkable to me.
Pianists are just the cleverest people . Brilliant tutorial
wow, this is great. My teacher is a Russian Moscow Music conservatory graduate and winner of many awards. She did exactly what this lady is doing, skating across quickly. I often am a bit confused by her teaching as she seems to be different than other teachers.
i see Graham Fitch does the same with the ghosting technique.
Its given me the confident that this video is a masterclass one. So many poor RUclips channels with far more subscriptions its a minefield for us learners
Thanks 🙏. Strawberry and university are very helpful. So is your hints about peddling. That’s where I struggle!
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości ❤️
Thank you for such a wonderful lesson 🌼
I love listening to beautiful English and music. This video gives me both. Thank you so much for the great video.
You are an excellent teacher and this was very helpful. Thank you for posting this!
You're very welcome!
I really can't speak highly enough of the quality of this lesson. This is my first glimpse of this channel and if there are more lessons like this I want you to know you are doing a great service to those of us striving to learn the piano. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
I have recently been studying this piece and greatly appreciated your insight. Thank you.
Agree! Its a real shame that channels like this don't get anything like the subscriptions as all the other (far inferior) piano learning channels. Hidden gems!
A really great tutorial with so many great tips succinctly . Improving left hand accuracy. Which notes to accentuate. Pedal changes. Triplet and quitlet (sp?) timing. Thank you!
Wonderful, thank you!!
Thank you for the perfect lesson. Also for opening my ears to try classical music again. Thanks to Spotify listening is super easy and I found eight hours of Chopin played by amazing musicians that without your lesson I would never have enjoyed. It was a perfect change from my usual of Adele to Zeplin.
Really appreciated the tips on how to play the arpeggio...the suggestion of thinking of 3- and 5-syllable words like "strawberry" and "university" to help with the timing of a triplet followed by a quintuplet really helped. I also appreciated the pointer about focusing on the DESTINATION of the arpeggio instead of all the notes in between. Thank you so much!
Can't agree more!
I also love this technique
Thank you so very much for such laser sharp surgical analysis and explanation. Absolutely phenomenal lesson. Can’t thank you enough!!
Many thanks Kapil for your kind words, we will pass them onto Siwan, you know a great pianist when you see one, Siwan Rhys recently played Steve Reich to the composer himself at Carnegie Hall!
Excellent piano tutorial, high quality explanation and focused on the key difficulties students like me faced in trying to play this beautiful piece. Thanks a lot for your time and dedication.
straw-be-rry u-ni-ver-si-ty .. really really great help! thank you so much!
Thank you so much ma'am for your best teachings. Being Indian I'm really satisfied by your tutorials. I really love it.
Excellent. I enjoy your tutorials. I am learning this piece …. I’m packing my scales and arpeggios daily … it sounding lovely one step at a time … thank you
Thank you Siwan. Now that was a big help. Clear, understandable useful explanation and presentation.
Thank you so must❤
So good, many thanks for recording this. Your strawberry university is a highlight for me!
You’re wonderful. I look forward to more tutorials from you . Thank you
Thank You
Great video !!!!
Thank you.It's really helpful.My piano teacher didn't teach me exactly how to play this song.
I've been playing piano for about 8 years but never had a lesson and can't read music... this will be my first piece that I'll learn from the sheet music. I can already play Chopins C sharp minor waltz quite well.. but learned it from a RUclips tutorial. This waltz seems easy enough so should be a good one to learn from sheets!
We have a version of the sheet music of this piece with chord markings and other mark ups to make reading it easier. If you visit our site and mention this comment, we can send it to you free of charge. This is a great piece for non readers to learn, the note have a lovely lift and fall about them which is approachable! Well done for getting so far by ear! www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
That strawberry university is a good one haha
Your playing is so beautiful, and the quality of your "master" lesson is uncomparable. Thanks very mucho for sharing your knowledge
Merci beaucoup! Je ne sais pas lire la musique, je commence seulement à jouer avec des accords pour m’accompagner en chantant. Je trouve ce morceau magnifique. Je vais essayer de le jouer avec vos conseils. ❤
A very informative and enjoyable tutorial. Lots of salient pointers for me to work on, in particular the sound within the sound of the chord and it's base note. I also like the simple use of syllables for counting the triplet and quintuplet. Thank you Siwan! 🎹🌈
Thank you so much for this video! Very well explained for technical difficulties. Thank you!
hello I'm from Indonesia.
This was very useful and practical tutorial, high quality explanation...

She is graceful.

Thank you so much! I’ve really been struggling with that arpeggio trying to get my thumb under in the time - so much easier your way!!!!
Aha! Strawberry , university is the trick. Thank you so much for your help
Thanks a great lesson for my little level, this Melody has something especial for me
I love the sound. I play it every day 😀
This was very useful and practical, it helped me smooth this out,
I hope you were my piano teacher!

Wow, I’m not in front of a piano right now, but this was so relaxing.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Muchas gracias por la clase Siwan. Es muy didáctica y tiene muchos tips para que suene elegante. ¡Saludos desde Uruguay!
Thank you so much. It helps me a lot.
Thank you for doing this! I've been struggling with this one for the past week, because I've been trying to do it all at once. This piece-by-piece breakdown is great. I want to leave work early now to go hit the piano.

Super useful tutorial
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ver good lesson
Elegant explanation by a beautiful musician. 😅
Thank you Amar for your kind words!
very nice , i have troubles in E major part on left hand
Hi.....great advises. HOWEVER.....To be honest I'm really really surprised to see that at 7.20 you're NOT using the THUMB AND FOREFINGER, which TO ME makes more sense, apart from the waist of energy in going 'to and fro around the E FLAT. Can't wait to hear your reaction!!
Best piano tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you very much!
Thank you Elvin!
how come you are playing and looking a little sad, but when you speak you are happy happy... I thought this song is like... how life is... has some merry moments and some hiccups... but because that is life, so that's what is happy about it...
perfect thank u
Many thanks for watching Babak!
@@contemporaryschoolofpiano I have watched it many time .and each time i have learnt from you many things.your playing satisfied me. thank u.
Im struggling with the rythm at the e arpeggio part at the beginning
I am not a pianist (only very musical) and as a total laywoman I enjoyed this so much. What a beautiful being you are. Thank you.
What is that thumping sound in the background? It's at the same time as the bass notes.
Beautiful playing and excellent demo. If you don't mind some input? I would explain more about arm weight/loose wrist when demonstrating the chords on beats 2/3. Less skilled players, new players might be inclined to "push down" that is play with tension, and then perhaps a stiff wrist/forearm. I disagree with fingering for RH for m. 4, the thumb on the black note fingering. But I will go try it out! Perfect demo of m. 21 and thank you for the words to use for students struggling to count there. And thanks for the ghosting technique (in jazz I call it "snap" to the chord, but I like the word "ghosting" much better).
Thanks, Julie, these are definitely important instructions for a more in-depth one-to-one lesson.
You say relatively easy to learn at any level. There is a LOT of technique to learn to make music out of this. To name just a couple: Two octave jumps and landing techniques; soft left hand chords; different trills … to name a few.
You are good. Do you give private lesso?
Great video! Thank you. My struggle is the jumps in left hand - need to “ghost” more :)
Thank you for watching! Glad it addressed some of the challenges that you experience with this piece. Happy playing:)
Oh of course. "University Strawberry!"
Beautiful performance 💙. Excellent song tutorial 💙 😀
Thankyou David
3:01, Ghosting? Oh no, I've heard that one before.
Oh no hahahahahaha
Gave me chills! Haha
Thank you dearly!
Thank you! Hope you found the tutorial useful.
Well I did
I don't even play the piano, and I loved the tutorial. Realy.
Many thanks!
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching Sunshine! Hope you found it helpful!
Nice tutorial! This is a great piece to learn for a beginner. I have a video with my progress on this waltz on my channel.
Thank you Daniel!
was struggling to keep the trills light. will try thinking of the end note. thanks!
You are very welcome!
I like your accent
I've been trying to learn this song for two weeks, but I'm not doing very well. I've been playing the piano for eight months (I'm 47) and maybe it's too fast? As you think? Thank you for the advice in your movie. It's great :)
Two weeks for a piece like this one is very short time for beginner and even early intermediates. Even if you accomplished to read you need much more time to get a smooth fingering, tempo, rubato, dynamics. Think in terms of months.
@@pianistaamatore7730 Thank you :) I practice this all the time.
@@robertdublowski5544 ok you know what it may take then 😊😅. If it takes more than 6 months / 1 year it might be too advanced for your level. You can put it apart for a while and take it back later on when yiu have improved or managed other pieces.
@@pianistaamatore7730 I'm doing it pretty well now. Now I practice two of Heller's etudes 😁 Even more difficult 😁
@Robert Dublowski nice! Keep it up
Is this being peddled ?
ok, I should have waited until the end of the tutorial to see that it is being peddled. I tend to peddle when I feel it if that doesn't sound ridiculous.
Siwan needs to get her microphone setup right. She is barely audible at times.
Thanks for your feedback. For context, this video was recorded almost a decade ago. It's great people are still watching it. Since then we've made improvements to the sound, we didn't even create this video with RUclips in mind, it was at the time created to demonstrate on numerous platforms this piece of music. Stay tuned for our newer videos, we've kept them coming over the years, and feel free to adjust volume settings or use subtitles on YT to read the text. I hope these suggestions help (we have manually added all of the subs so they are accurate).
Seriously out of sync.
Hi @townet we just rewatched the video here on RUclips and found no syncing issues, perhaps it's on your end? Would welcome other people's feedback here
@@contemporaryschoolofpiano Start from 0:35 can you please watch the left hand bass carefully? (Tutorial no issue)
@@townnet Just checked it, seems fine to us. Why would only the left hand be out of sync? Keep in mind when you are pedaling chords with jumps in the left hand, the note from bass sustains through as you play the above chord, this might be giving you the sense it's out of sync. It goes to show what an amazing instrument the piano is.
OMG ! You talk too much..!
@khnergiani this is an education tutorial for people who play piano, perhaps you've landed on the wrong page :)
