    Chopin's delicate techniques revealed in the most wonderful lights uncovered ... it is all about the artistic and skillful finger/wrist/arm contacts with the piano using human hands in most magical ways imaginable ... brava Ms. Penneys !!!

    Truly my favorite Chopin piece, and one of his most underrated in my opinion. It's entrancing but gentle and always helps me find my breath. I'm happy to have learned more about it from a technical aspect.

    I like how she relates the piece to several Chopin etudes and preludes. Lots of aha moments for the listener.

    The funny thing is I don't even play the piano :) yet I've watched this video at least 3 times and I totally LOVE the way Rebecca Penneys plays. It's something beyond the technique and beyond the instrument. It touches your heart and soul. That's something I'd like to understand and learn. Not just the notes. Beautiful

  • @pianoman551000
    @pianoman551000 3 года назад +4

    I was taught the same technique, essentially lifting the wrist and pivoting the right hand toward the notes being played. It really requires VERY slow practicing and hours of it! Etude in Cmaj. No. 1 is similar and is very difficult to master due to the required wrist pivot going and up and descending.

  • @LazlosPlane
    @LazlosPlane 3 года назад +7

    Disagree vehemently. The hands always feel comfortable when playing Chopin. That is why Chopin is considered the greatest composer of piano music. If she is "uncomfortable" it's because she's doing it wrong. Ugh.

    • @brandonwarweg3622
      @brandonwarweg3622 2 года назад +5

      yeah I have to agree with you there as well on that specific statement...She clearly knows what she is talking about, I think she found her hand in an uncomfortable position at that specific moment and made the comment. Chopin was fully aware of how the hand should move, the wrist rotates, keeping the shoulders totally relaxed as well. Not making any unnecessary movements that resulted in wasted energy, thereby losing your effeciency. On the other hand, I wouldn't necessarily say technique or hand effeciency is what made Chopin arguably the greatest composer ever on piano. He wins that title, hands down, on his compositions alone. With Beethoven coming in 2nd! In my opinion @least. Dude didn't even have to compose any symphonies, operas, chamber music, or really any orchestral music at all(besides his 2 Piano Concertos and his Cello Concerto) yet is still widely regarded as the greatest composer of the piano ever, and rightfully so. His music ages beautifully and will be loved & adored for another 250+ years!!!

      "IF you *don't* understand that Chopin has unorthodox hand positions his music is uncomfortable"
      Then she played 10-2 and 25-6 with incredible facility.

  • @jeansentrais9866
    @jeansentrais9866 11 месяцев назад

    Maybe you are right technically, maybe ! Miss. But you do not know how Chopin was always minding about warm or cold rain under his skin during his life, playing music ... in love with someone. You missed him and it ... Sorry ! you come from USA, not from Europe.
