Masterclass on the most essential elements of piano technique: scales, arpeggios, double notes, chords and trills. Emphasizing on fullest flexibility, relaxed weightiness and adequate control of the arm weight and if necessary, the weight of the whole body.
Playing scales with the natural position of the hand, transferring the arm weight from finger to finger. Positions of the scale, coordinated rotation of the forearm, hand and wrist.
These are invaluable lessons from a true master. Thank you for your effort. Would love to learn more from you
I have instantly recognised you Prof Gyimesi! Even after 20 years! Thank you for these wonderful videos!
Por favor, no hay subtítulos en español!?😢
Diese Fähigkeit hat immer bewundert
si pueden ponerlo en español..
Sería estupendo.
Dear Prof Gyimesi, I am confused with the weight transfer? How much arm weight should be on the finger? When I practise with all my arm weight I get into trouble with sore wrists...Koszonom
Hello Tom, thank you for your comment. Playing piano demands alternating tension and relaxation. We need the right amount of tension in the hand, round, solid and stable fingers, which are able to carry the weight of the arm, which is relaxed from the back and shoulder. Neuhaus called it “relaxed weightiness”. The amount of tension and arm weight is determined by the musical/technical content (esp. dynamics).
Please check this lesson about weight transfer for more information: ruclips.net/video/hvqSCTcqFEA/видео.html
Chopin was a master at playing soft and hard. Obviously there is no set way to indicate precisely how much force should be used at any given time, but listen to how much the piano sings to get a feel for how much pressure to use. Id suggest learning Chopins nocturne op 9 no 2, as this song demands a mastery of both soft and hard playing to be played correctly.
Thank you very much for sharing this important and useful information.
Is it possible to have the exercise you wrote that you mentioned in the minute 1:23 of the video?
Best regards
+Maria Faria Ramos Thank you for your interest! We are currently working on a complete version in English, in the meantime the full course + exercises (pdf) are available in German here: www.diplomero.com/de/kurs/der-weg-zum-freien-klavierspiel-ze7rkz.html
+Hungarian Piano Tradition
It will be great in English ( my German is very poor)
Note that it is the B major scale which is the one with which Chopin began scale studies, NOT C major.
Wow!!! Thank you so much Sir for taking your time and sharing this most valuable information. Your videos are amazing with teaching techniques. You have answered all my questions.
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you ....
saugute sache mann, tolles video !
Diese deutsche Aussprache ist sehr komisch hahah. Naja, danke sehr Herr dafür.
I'm having trouble with scales, just started, C major. Should I go to B major first?
Danke für dein Video!
B major is certainly easier, firstly because of the natural hand-like position (E, F#, G#, A#, B) and also because the thumb (the most important finger) can move more easily underneath the fingers which are placed on the black keys.
