Nahre, you're a national treasure. Everything you put out inspires me so much to continue to develop as a musician and composer. Thanks so much for doing this, I wish you great and continued success!
As a piano learner and a keyboard player in a band I'd LOVE to see more videos like this! Not just for practice and learning but to also give me ideas for composing
here's a practical application of Nahre Sol's lesson for today.. Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater plays 'White Christmas' at LAX airport... ruclips.net/video/g6PaiCz3fFI/видео.html i love this version of white christmas so much.. wish i could play it OR how bout Nahre Sol does white christmas version by Liszt
There's this section in Scriabin 4 (second movement) where the main theme returns about halfway through and the spacings in the left hand are so damn wide (4ths, 5ths, 7ths) with frequent position changes. The section doesn't even sound that difficult due to the unassuming melody but that was the hardest part of the whole sonata for me. Example A reminded me of that. Don't do what I did and think "Oh it won't be that bad, Scriabin had small hands after all" - be prepared to roll chords left, right and centre haha
I am impressed with your focus on mechanics and your delightful sense of humor. I’m a good jazz pianist working on playing eighth note improvisational runs at quarter=250 to 300 and your analysis gives me good food for thought. Thank you!
🍚 Definitely will try these out. I've been working on slow scales and improving tone and listening to your playing, the clarity of your notes are so crisp! 3 cheers for slow practice!
These videos are so awesome! This one is particularly encouraging for typists learning music who are like, "I WILL SHOW YOU FAST FINGERS MORTAL," and then have to practice the same amount as any other beginner. #thinlyveiledautobiographicaldetail
I just discovered this video 2 years after posting. These 3 runs are so impressive, beyond awesome. And you've simplified them so that even an intermediate player like me can learn them. Thank you 🙏
🍚 There are so many choices a musician can make in regards to channel subscriptions. Yours remains one of my best choices ever. Thanks for sharing the finest of artistry with a compelling, playful spirit. 🍚
I love this… so often I want to skip warming up and jump right into whatever I’m working on but this is beautiful and gets the fingers and the brain tingling.
I've never thought about playing in that way. I'm mostly a jazz kind of a guy but this is definitely applicable there too. I better get a move on to get in my 40 hours of practice a day. Good thing I've got plenty of🍚! 😉
I used to practise Fantasie-Impromptu to impress friends precisely because of this--I realised that it sounded really virtuosic but, above a certain number of years of practice and experience, it was really easy to pull off since it was a lot of finger wiggling!
As someone who is extremely novice at the piano, I appreciate how you broke down these seemingly difficult techniques into more digestible bits to understand. Yes, please make more videos like this.
When I played the Mephisto waltz I experienced that the passages which sounds and looks virtuosic aren’t the really hard ones. For example the jump section or the arpeggios at the end were much easier and I could nearly sight read them but the repeated note section and the first theme of the waltz had a very tricky rhythm which made this piece really hard and virtuosic. I love it
I think Liszt was the master of making things seeming far more difficult than they really are. I use told my friends that Liszt's compositions are some of the most pianistic things I've seen but they refuse to believe it.
I'm always surprised how much I actually learn from your videos, even though I don't even play the piano. But so many of your ideas can be applied to other instruments as well, and the way you present them makes it so much easier. Thank you, your channel is like a treasure trove for musicians! 🍚
Didn't think about hand position and that explains struggle I am fighting hard against while practicing and during exams. I think those piano vids you did will come in handy in the very near future! Thanks for the life-saver! [insert bowl of rice emoji i unfortunately do not have]
I had a big gap in my music so I've forgotten all theory, still have the ears and hands so seeing and hearing like this is super helpful. Def would love more please. 🙏🍚
I might have to try writing something with this in mind... after some practice, of course. Since there's no polyphony, it might be fun to try and use something like this as a fugal theme! 🍚
🍚 I'm sure you'd be unsurprised to hear that the same advice applies to guitar. Usually you minimize moving the whole hand (fretting hand) and group notes so you can play them in one hand position.
I'm not so sure, some scale positioning on the guitar I find difficult to play through quickly. So I find sliding up or down into another position at this point. I'm not a particulary fast player but, at the very least this slide into another position helps with phrasing a line. But I'm determined to play fast one day!

Generally speaking, an important part of writing idiomatically for an string or keyboard instrument (also xylophone-like ones) boils down to this idea of avoiding big jumps or stretches.
Often you listen to something and it sounds very difficult. You check the score and it looks nearly impossible. You watch a recording of it and the pianist hands flying all over the place make you assume you would never be able to play it. Then you give it a chance. And realize it's surprisingly easy!
I played piano many years ago but I find your videos fascinating and have followed you for the last three years. They are useful, insightful and entertaining. They are also very well made,. You have great video skills as well. Keep going Nahre!
I also love the washing machine analogy. Repeat and rinse hehe. Actually - this is what a lot of us can really work on. I wouldn't do it to impress people. I'll be practising just to impress myself! It's amazing.
As a memorizer who struggles with reading, I've found that the hardest things are when things jump out of my field of view. Or at least that's how I've interpreted the problem so far. Like the left hand in the opening to Rachmaninoff's 39/8 etude is taking me FOREVER to get comfortable with, even though it's not complicated at all, while at the same time I was able to nail down this Prokofiev 22/9 fugitive vision in just a few days even though it *feels* like it has more hand stretches and position changes in both hands. Oh, another great example is this Shostakovich 13/10 lullaby. It's just one note here, and octave there, all in pretty regular patterns, and the tempo is slow, but I just can't seem to handle the jumps! And I'm not missing the notes, my hand is unable to remember the notes at all.
Same here. I'm terrible at sight reading. I tend to work through pieces phrase by phrase and memorize as I go. It used to annoy the hell out of my teacher, but I just never caught the hang of sight reading, and it makes learning new pieces take so much longer than it should.
Hot licks that look hard but aren't really! Who doesn't love being shown stuff like this! Very engaging presentation. I've just watched one of your videos for the first time, Nahre Sol. I like you already. (Sorry if I seem too forward.)
Awesome! I always wondered why some virtuous sounding pieces are actually way easier to play, but never really looked into it. This makes a lot of sense. 🍚😘
Have you done videos specifically for smoothing out the finger-wiggle? At the moment my shifting appears to be going better than what happens in the hand shape. Sort of. I’ve been doing a lot of scale work but arpeggios are driving me nuts (short drive!). Also a big fan - love your collaborative videos too!
great video !!! yes, please I would love to see more runs, and also analysis of such piano runs from the classical tradition...from impresionism..bitonality..all kinds of colors in such beautiful piano runs
You had me at Chili Gonzales vs Thomas Hulce. If ever I learn to read music, I blame... uhhh... CREDIT you. Even in my ignorance I learn from watching your hyper engaging and always super-crafted fun videos!
🍚 Loved it!! I just started to integrate some Liszt in my repertoire and Ive been feeling kinda overwhelmed with it.. but this video's message really got into me; I won't assume difficulty anymore from now on. Thank you for all your work posted here, Nahre 🙏♥️
Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" is not at all impossible to play, as one might think by listening to it. And that is for the very reasons you explain! This is a GREAT video, Nahre!
Delightful. Mind you, I have fingers of stone by comparison with your elastic ones. But these exercises will help me a lot even if I never get to 1/10 your speed.
I think this exercise might be exactly what I’ve been looking for to drill some of my seventh chords! Thanks for showing off both how simple this is and how far you can push it ♥️ 🍚
Very cool. This is very timely given that the Chopin Competition is currently on youtube and is really interesting to watch. I would love to see a video with your comments on competitions and virtuosity.
This is a fabulous video and a fabulous concept. I feel like there should be a Part 2 or follow-up video about how something that is difficult for one person could be easy for another for any variety of reasons from physical limitations to experience to one's practice instrument, etc. I, personally, cannot stand "difficulty levels" or "ranking systems" with music once someone moves beyond the early method book stages. Having taught for a few decades now, I understand that what might be difficult for one student or even professional will be easy for another, even at the same "level", and vice versa. (I've peeked at different level-ranking systems, and for example I can easily play some music from diploma levels, yet I can't play music from much "easier" levels at all!)
This is nifty. I managed to learn Schumann's Intermezzo from Faschingsschwank aus Wien, which I always thought sounded like one of the hardest things ever, but I think it's in this category.
I love your practice videos!! Awesome!🔥🔥🔥
I love your way of explaining the music theory 🎶🎵
Thank you Rick!!!
Nice to see you here Mr. B
Yup, we love your practice videos.
I just love her altogether :)
Nahre, you're a national treasure. Everything you put out inspires me so much to continue to develop as a musician and composer. Thanks so much for doing this, I wish you great and continued success!

An inter-national treasure if you ask me!

As a guitarist who extremely clumsy on the piano I find your videos fascinating. 🍚
Thank you so much!!!
Huh! I'm a guitarist who's just a bought a keyboard and I'm doing super fast progress with instruction like this ;)
Super interesting! Feels like a bit like taubmann technique. Great lessons I'll add this to my piano practice.
Yes, do more of this stuff. Thanks
This is her best video yet
Its everything my brain looks for when learning or explaining something

Im currently learning the 4th sonata and indeed, its a beast
Scriabin is beastly to play for the pianist, while he disarms the casual listener.

🍚 I love your piano tutorials so much! You always explain things so well

🍚 Great content and exceptional production quality!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much. As a gospel jazz pianist, you just gave me new tips for more runs in Church. I appreciate...
I vote for an entire book of these! These would be super useful for throwing into improvisations.
Hey Nahre just wanted to add that its great to you enjoying yourself at the piano!....😊
The "finger wiggle speed" is something I'm struggling with, though. A video on that would be great as well! 🍚
Noted, thank you!!!

Amaaazing and so interesting (especially for a non pianist) !!!
Absolutely true. Some pieces sound simple to play but are in fact technically challenging 🍚
Rafal Blechacz - Chopin's 3rd sonata 2nd movement
Hamelin - Alkan Op. 39 No. 10 Concerto Étude in case anyone is wondering what videos those are.
