Moonlight Sonata Beginner Mistake
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Lots of people make this mistake when they play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. With classical music, it's pretty important to play pieces the way that the composers wrote them. In this video, I show you what the common mistake is and how to fix it. All links below:

When I started learning this piece I was told that the "trouble" note should played as if you forgot about it and then, in the last moment and "hurriedly" remembered adding it. These words still pops into my mind when I play it.
That's a cool way to think about it!
Yay - This excellent video stays unedited. And any revenue goes to Marina, and not some scammer 💪💪💪👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you for the effort you put in posting this video!
I had to get it off my chest. 😊
When I learn the new piece, I always play it VERY slow in the start. Sometimes maybe even 10 times slower than it's supposed to be. I use slow metronome settings. Little by little I set metronome faster till I get it done. That's why in the end I know it by heart.
That is an excellent process!
you know, I bought my first piano like 4 months ago, and the first lesson was your moonlight sonata. now Im at the 3rd part. I just knew about your facebook page I'll share it soon with you. Thanks
Wow!! Thanks, I didn't know she had a FB page. I also just got my piano a little over a month ago. Loving it, and her tutorials
Hi Everyone, I'm sure no surprise but made this very mistake as well. I didn't realise until I recorded myself and played back. So much good advice from Marina, she really is fantastic.
I'm so glad you did this, Rob! Every time you make a discovery like this, you are super-charging your progress!
Ohhhhhh thank gooodnessss thats not meee, my heart has been hanging since the start of the video while waiting for what the mistake was 🥹🥹🥹
You're off the hook! hahaha
Thank you for this, Marina 🙂 It is a subtle mistake, that I honestly didn't know if I made on top of my head. The only way to find out was to go to to the piano and start playing. I didn't make the mistake in the section discussed/demonstrated in the video, but I certainly did in measure 23 right after the arpeggio. It felt right, but I promise you and Beethoven that I will never do it again 😇
Ludwig and I are very happy to hear this! 😁
Wow! Thank you so much for such helpful and pre-emptory advice. I was going to tackle this piece Wednesday or Thursday and now I know what to look out for and pay attention to. Maybe you should print t-shirts that say something like: Productivity rules. Positivity follows. No, that doesn’t really work. Well, you’re on you’re own with the t-shirts.
SO GLAD you added this tutorial I am having a terrible time with this part. THANK YOU
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for your content. I started learning MS during the pandemic and made it through your first 3 tutorials before losing steam. Lately I relearned the first 3 and have made progress on the 4th. I’m a little stuck on your (and my) favorite part, but am determined to get to the end. I never thought I’d be able to play this beautiful piece, but your teaching style has almost made it a reality. Cheers from Washington, DC!
Thank you for your sweet comment! It's normal to take some time off, to sometimes get frustrated, and then to get re-energized. Make sure you watch my Jump Start Piano series for lots of tips on this sort of thing.
Thank you so much for your tutorial. It is wonderful. I am sorry for what happened. You are fantastic. Stay strong!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you, i was having this problem for long time. Great job in counting.
Glad it helped!
Hi Everyone! I'm doing a LIVE Master Class on how to practice this piece! Check out all the info at this link:

Great I learned Moonlight sonata fully through ur videos
love uu❤❤❤❤❤
That's so wonderful!
You are the best teacher 💕
Thank you! 😃
This is a truly wonderful tutorial. The way you teach us how to practice to eliminate that mistake is so great. Thank you so very much! Congratulations again with your victory!
Thank you!
THANK YOU, I FOUND YOUR VIDEO EXCELLENT.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi!! I want to let you know how grateful I am to you. I have just learned the first 2 parts of moonlight sonata you uploaded. You make it so easy to learn! I wish so badly I had you as a private teacher. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You're so welcome! You can always schedule a Skype session with me.
@@ThePianoKeys Do you have a contact public i can use?
@@myyoutube6220 all of my info is on my website and in the description box of this video.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, even though it might seem an obvious thing.
Maintaining rhytm is crucial for playing this piece.
Interestingly, personally for me it's rather easy to play this "second voice" melody correctly while it stays in right hand, but once it moves to LH starting with measure 60, it becomes quite a challenge, especially when finger 5 has to play and hold an additional B#, C# and G# below. Your advice here makes me remember to put extra effort in practising this particular element.
I'm so glad that you found this video helpful!
Oh man... I am barely on measure 13 and I am already worried about what you just said about measure 60!
@@wertherland you'll get there :). it ended up being not so difficult after all.
pay attention to the last two triplets in measure 37 for proper accents in RH. not all sheet music editions show it correctly. I was playing it wrong until I listened (after some time) to how Arrau played it and only then understood it.
Gracias
You're welcome!
Such a beautiful piece and wonderfully played by you. I just started playing piano and started even learning this piece and this video helped me to understand the playing much better. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I am wondering why she doesn't explain that in measure 5, the G# 's are a 4 against three rhythm with the triplet? When she says 1, 2, 3 and 1, she risks that that student will play a sextuplet against the triplet, which is actually the common mistake that students make. She needs to explain how to play the dotted eighth sixteenth rhythm against the triplet.

If only my keyboard have more than 64keys. Most probably, playing moonlight sonata 1st movement might be more meaningful and nice to listen in an octave bass. Thanks for this essential tips, Ma’am! Greetings from Philippines... 🎵🙃
You're very welcome!
You have an amazing speaking voice and play very well. Im sorry for your situation but I'm confident you'll come out way better. Ive seen this happen to many content creators and thats such a shame. I wish you well and will be following you wherever you go. We love you. Be strong.
Thank you!
You are the best piano teacher 🥰🥰
Thanks so much!
thank you very much Teacher .. a cordial greeting from Italy.. Serena Pasqua 🕊️
You're very welcome!
Whats the name of the song at the end of the video? Thank you so much for this video! I was so stuck on one part & now i finally memorized it so now i can move one!
You're welcome! The music at the end is my easy piano version of a Chopin piece: ruclips.net/video/Oep-eFbTVJk/видео.html
I have heard someone (and I am not giving any name 😛) interpreted the "Quasi una fantsia" in the title as a permission to be a bit lax about the rythm. But in this video it is very clear, that you and Ludwig are adamant, that there are restrictions on how lax one can be.
Perhaps an idea to talk about the meaning and non-meaning of "Quasi una fantasia" in a video some day?
Sure, you can be a bit lax about the rhythm - you just can't completely change it, especially when you're not even aware of doing it. 😊
@@ThePianoKeys Hm..... perhaps I should upload a video to the FB-group with my "interpretation" of moonlight. I am having the piano tuned in the beginning of may. It will sound so much nicer if I wait to record until then. 😊
Also I've totally forgotten how to play this past the first few bars 🥲
Forearm moves up and down or ciculer movement?
Good tutorial, but I was actually expecting the 3rd movement 😂
😁
What is the song on the end of your video? Its so nice 🤗🤗
It's my easy piano arrangement of Chopin's Nocturne No. 9. You can click through on the videos that come up at the end of this one.
@@ThePianoKeys thank you 🤗😊
I find it easer in Bflat.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Justice would be youtube getting sued, and then not being allowed to know who is suing them.
YES!!!
Not sure if it's RUclips's fault. It the fault of that fraudulent company based in Paris.
@@Joshua-dc1bs Its RUclips's fault for allowing trolls to abuse their system. The troll even calls their song "Wicca Moonlight," meaning they knew about the (public domain) song they were attempting to claim; this was intentional trolling and not a simple human error. And if I were a 10 year old without morals, I would have jokingly called it something similar. In fact, RUclips's copyright claimant bar of entry is so low, this might even be a 10 year old. Who is then allowed to antagonize adults trying to provide value to the community, and in some cases make a living.
@@CubicIronPyrite on that note, I went and disliked that trashy video. The like-to-dislike ratio is hilarious!
The system needs to change.
@@Joshua-dc1bs Oh wow, I didn't realize there was an actual video posted by this bottom-feeder, and joined the 6K downvoters as well. As for the 46 upvoters? I'm guessing they followed a link from Myspace.
Beginner mistake 1: Taking on Beethoven as a beginner.
Been there, done that. It didn't end well.
Everyone has to have a point of entry. A beginner won't play Moonlight Sonata as well as someone with more experience, but maybe that will lead to them wanting to get more into the study of piano. For others, it's enough just to be able to play it at their own level and they're done. 😁
@@ThePianoKeys True. But to be fair, I didn't have any guidance at all, and I chose something more technically difficult. Somehow I still managed to learn things that I didn't know before, so it wasn't a total loss.
@@gregrosendahl7362 Did you give up playing?
@@arlenebrahm2719 No, but I've come close several times over the years. About 10 years ago, I came across a woman named Marina (whom you now know as The Piano Keys) and she completely transformed the way I learn and practice, as well as setting reasonable goals and expectations. I had to take a big pill of humility and go back to basics that I thought I was beyond, but she was right and it has paid off.
@@gregrosendahl7362 Well then, that sounds great! I I just thought, reading your comment, you sounded a little discouraged. Yes, that Piano Keys lady seems to be on the right side of things when it comes to the complex world of learning piano.
Hi, and thenks for this usefull and well made content you shared. I got shocked by the outro, i would die to hear the whole Nocturne played that way. Is there a link to it?
Thanks! Yes, that is my easy piano arrangement of the nocturne and you can see the performance here: ruclips.net/video/Oep-eFbTVJk/видео.html
@@ThePianoKeys thank you so much!!!
