    I love your videos! Do you suggest to practice that 3rd movement slowly, let's say quarter 80, and increase speed up to 140 in one practice session? Or should I practice in a comfortable speed, maybe quarter 120, and wait until speed come by itself naturally? I've always had that doubt.

    ive been playing piano for 14 days since lockdown here in my country New Zealand. My first piece only because ive always wanted to learn it but never got a round to it was Moonlight Sonata 1st movement it took me 8days now i know it off by heart . I know i shouldnt attempt this piece but really want to try it looks very difficult though i cant get the speed needed for it but i can play the correct notes at a slower speed. Not the same any advice?

    Josh, I saw a pianist on youtube who posted a Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mvt tutorial. He says we shouldn't rotate our hands and our thumbs must travel in a straight line during the very first part (broken cord / arpeggios). Your method provides much less strain on my hands but this person says it's the wrong method. Which is the most preferred method?
    Ps. His playstyle is not as refined as yours and your concertos are really phenominal!

      It's all subjective Nick. There are people who take it faster, and people who take it slower. Since it is marked Presto agitato, I wanted to push it quite fast without sacrificing the character or clarity
