Her 1 minute is like my 1 week progress, 10 minutes is like a month of my progress, 1 hour is equivalent to my 3 months progress of the piece 😐.. Crazy sight reading
@@ballerinagirl You need to check out Tom Bier's sight reading challenges. He's on yet another planet, e.g. ruclips.net/video/b9IkpUYlOx8/видео.html I'm sure that ragtime has more patterns that you can practice than, say, Chopin. This video is amazing in its own right!
Considering she is a professional pianist, having a good ear helps tremendously. I have been playing piano for about a year, but have been listening to many classical pieces since childhood, so I can play by "heart" (partially) in a soso manner without ever seeing the notes. This is IMO also a very known song, so she has probably heard the song many times, and has kind of an idea how to tackle it. Also playing lots of Chopin makes it so much easier to play other Chopin songs.
I remember learning this piece. It was strangely like learning how to ride a bike. Once I actually had flow I was so surprised I froze and ran the bike into a tree...
@@inanis9801Definitely! I got it FINALLY tonight! It's one of those pieces, for me, that I had to memorize the phrase, and let go! It's easier to play the polyrhythm faster than slower. What a freakin' relief! 😂😂
The fact that she played polyrhythm the first time she looked at the piece makes me sit back in my chair and slowly recline until the chair flips backward.
Sometimes I think many high level pianists just magically know how to play pieces and never struggle. This vid shows all the hard work and frustration that go into learning a piece
Note that people who say "her 1 minute is like my 1 week" are the ones who CAN play piano. If you have never seriously learned piano, let me tell you, it will take you 5-10 years to reach "her 1 minute". Fantaisie impromptu isn't just one of those twinkle twinkle little star songs, your left and right hand needs to play at different pace.
Casi al cumplir un año de comenzar a tocar piano por hobbie comenzé a aprender esta pieza porque era de las que más me gustaba. Me tomó como casi un mes para aprenderme tan solo el principio. Sin embargo, cuando ya me lo había aprendido, el resto salió más fácil. Me tomó 3 meses aprenderme toda la pieza, y como 4-5 meses poder tocarla de forma más o menos decente.
There exists a video of a guy going from 0 to full fantasie impromptu on RUclips in less than a year. Not well, but he gets all the notes in the right order and with half decent tempo. It takes nowhere near 5 years
My jaw just dropped. Your one minute is about a month for me, till I get the polyrhythm down, your 10 minutes are kinda like my end goal and your 1 hour is pretty much performance level. Amazing how much of a gap there is between classical pianists and other like me with 5 years experience
Lol, I'm sure she's been playing for well over decade and a half and over time develop the very important skill of piano, learning efficiency, something I'm still working on. Sooo keep going!
@@yusufansari7897 r u dumb obv she’s played before like a long time ago also she’s sight reading not doing it in her head. Once you learn sight reading it’s easy to play some pieces. She’s prob been sight reading since she started playing piano. Ur acting like she just started playing. She learned 5 rows in 1 min and messed up. Don’t get mad tho I can see why u think it’s fake lol she played it so fast. To fast... But we know the 1 min is real bc she didn’t cut anything. Don’t be mad.
My teacher had an incredible sight reading. Everytime that I brought to him a new piece to study he firstly spent like 2/3 minutes for seeing the difficult passages and trying them he puts the fingering on the sheet. After this he played with, of course, some mistakes but the result was like the mine after 3 months of studying.
I just heard the arpeggios and chromatic runs in the beginning, not the ballad in the middle or the massive finale, which is my favorite part. I would suspect most of the first part is easy for a pianist at her level as she probably practiced those daily in etudes.
@@thomasreedy4751 ^^ the beginning isn't the hardest part of the piece (well thats in my opinion but if you ask other people who have played this song I bet they would agree with me) as for the ballad I actually think that's easier than the beginning because I'd personally say the beginning is pretty dang difficult, but thats just my opinion again. I do have to say though I disagree with one thing- that it would be easy to play the first part. After learning it myself, I know how much of a bitch that polyrhythm was... many many hours); of course she is at a higher level at piano than I am, so I wouldn't know ;p
@@gorilla-san im an actual pianist and with my work ethic there's no way i would be able to get to her 10 minutes in a month let alone her 1 hour in 6 months
Love this video. Normally, I do have short concentration span when I sit with my piano. So play for 10 minutes, break 5 minutes, slowly, I practice 30 minutes, break 5 minutes and 1 hour, break 5 minutes. I just let myself warm up. And first thing I do when I start a new pieces, I sight read, get the rhythm right (with metronome help, if i needed), stuck the melody into my head, analyse chord and practice a few round, not getting perfect on the first day, just casually practice new repertoire.
Ok so I am 11 and I've been playing the piano for like 6 years now and cannot imagine being able to play this after one minute of practice! This is truly amazing and inspiring. My dream is to someday make it to this level.
@@joannot6706 I can't give a source, but supposedly Liszt was performing Chopins etude in c major at a salon (with Chopin in attendance), and could only sight read a couple of bars before he started making mistakes. After the emarassement, Liszt locked himself in his study and practised the whole opus. A week later, at the same location, he played all the etudes perfectly and Chopin himself admitted that only Liszt could play them more profoundly and touchingly.
I've been practicing a couple of pieces for four years. I love that you shared this with us - in a small way it helps us amateurs to know that even the pros don't usually toss a piece of music in front of them and sight read it without errors. Oh, and I loved how you were marking up the music -presumably with fingering notes. Yay!
Ok...I love her videos and especially this series, but I find it hard to believe that being a classical pianist and being as good as she is she had never played fantasy impromptu before
It’s not super uncommon, fantasie impromptu is a skippable piece, being very overdone and not very difficult. I can see someone at this level focusing on other pieces that are more important, like etudes.
@@stefanolanza8018 I highly doubt you have the credentials to correct me or speak for professional pianists. Fantasie impromptu is, relatively, a beginner's piece, and it is entirely feasible that many professional pianists simply don't have it in their repertoire or never learned it in the first place because it is not worth it. Again, this is relative, but compared to the skill level this person has shown impromptu is leagues below. And in the end, it is apparent that this person is at professional level and did not learn this piece, which is already a counterexample to your arrogant claim about knowing how professionals learn piano. While perhaps due to being famous and a common piece fantasie impromptu is popularly learned, it's senseless to claim that it is required or that everyone has learned it.
@@jonathanouyang Thanks for your opinion. I hereby confirm mine, you really have no understanding about learning piano at professional level. Nobody starts as a professional. Writing that the FI is a beginners' piece shows either your lack of understanding piano technique either your trolling attitude. Both ar despicable.
@@stefanolanza8018 I think I know a little bit about piano, especially since I have played FI myself. Again, everything is relative: FI is doable with 2-3 years of intensive practice starting from nothing, whereas other pieces take much longer.
that's so interesting, i usually start practicing pieces by playing them SUPER slowly, so that i can't make any mistakes. Because once i've practiced my mistakes, its all over for me and takes ages to rectify them. Interesting to see how other people approach pieces. Thanks so much for putting this out there.
Woww took me half a year to learn this piece and 2 years for it to be considered okay. She did what would take me a long time to do in only 1 hr. Amazing👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love watching you reveal your approach with such humor. Beautiful playing and you made me laugh so hard when the mistakes were highlighted in the video. Your grace and humor are inspirational!
"if a good fingering would help me (in 10 minutes)" - I strongly beleave: Yes! fingering helps, even in this stressful situations. Much more: exact wrist and elbow movement apply to the same. And THANK YOU so much for sharing your fingering with all of us on patreon. I totally enjoy this.
Thomas, if you just want be copy/paste musician that's fine, someone else was creative instead of you. But sometimes it's good to have a little creativity and give your own interpretation. Without that, it would be boring and we wouldn't need to hear new artists, but just listen to the old recordings we're used to.
I'm actually totally blind and am learning this one too... It's a challenge but each time I get a part it's so rewarding... The trick I found is using midi to help along the way. If you slow it down it can make putting it together a bit easier.
This is unbelievable (and so fascinating). At 10 minutes you are where I'd hope to be after weeks of practicing. 1 hour? This is where I'll never be in my whole life (I've had weekly piano lessons for 8 years, and I still practice and play every now and then) . Soooo amazing!
Thank you for these amazing videos. I started playing the piano aged 5. Now 73 but not a good pianist as I had 3 strokes when I was 28 so that out paid to my aspirations of being a concert pianist. But I play for my own pleasure and now teaching my husband to play. I made him watch your videos and hopefully it made him feel better knowing that a concert pianist of your talent struggles at times. Thank you again.
My practicing recommendation: 1) Get to know the piece as a whole - know your key and rhythm, listen to some interpretation if possible and pick up pencil to set logical phrases to help you with "checkpoints", analyse the form (for example ABACA etc.) 2) Understand where is the melody (what is most singable - can be in the left hand although it's not as common as in the right hand) and practice it first then understand bass notes and make sense of chords and their relationships inside (tonic, dominant etc.; also notice where they occur repeatedly) - that is harmony 3) Do not overpractice and repeat parts you already know - ideally start from the most difficult parts, also do not start practicing from A to Z - that is called performing 4) Try to not make the music stop, use "slow motion" as a practice tool but ALWAYS feel rhythm, don't leave a place unpracticed if you can't fit it in the rhythm 5) Sleep and try practicing the next day - you will notice an improvement, if you skip a day or two a lot will be lost from your last practice 6) Don't practice more than 3 hours a day if you don't feel like it, Chopin practiced about this amount, I believe more will not increase results, only sleep and practicing the next day does
isn't it weird how if you practice right before you sleep you can wake up the next day and play/do it better? I think theres a name for it but I can't remember what it is, it's super cool tho.
I love the red "X"s. Even when you missed the notes, it sounded darn good. And not being able to sight read very well? You fooled me. Great video. I really enjoyed it.
This is incredible. I've always wondered what a real practice session looked like for a concert pianist. I knew they were super human...AND this basically proves it😊
Actually, quite productive. By the end of the hour you were playing the first section of the impromptu quite nicely, and much of the rest of the music (the famous B section not being a technical challenge) is very repetitive, with the main differences being which notes are emphasized. It is mind staggering to think of how perhaps a weeks work on this piece and you will be very advanced with it! BTW, the Waldensteiner that was playing in the background was very worthwhile as well. Your playing touches the mind as well as the heart.
Omg das ist so wahnsinnig wie schnell Du so ein schweres Stück liest und umsetzen kannst. Was du in den ersten 10 sekunden erkannt hast hab ich 10minuten gebraucht 🤣 Einfach nur top 🙂👍
I loved this episode. I’m leaning this piece now and it was so great to watch your process. You got up to speed far faster than I ever will. Thank you and bravo!
Really like these videos that you put up, as well as the 1 min classical. I would love to hear some more Schubert/Lizst/Chopin. Or maybe some tchaikovsky piano concertos. I liked how in your other chopin video you kinda dictated what you were practicing and why and such thought that was really interesting.
Z tym naszym Chopinem to jest ogólnie JEDNA WIELKA MASAKRA. Dlatego moja droga nie zaryzykowałem, gram na gitarze. I nie mogę sobie jakoś wyobrazić, że chodził pod oknami knajp, podsłuchiwał, a potem takie utwory pisał. Życzę Ci powodzenia dzielna kobieto !
I practice for an hour (although I rarely take count of the starting and ending time) I start when I feel refresh and stop when I am too frustrated to make any progress
Ein tolles Video. Auch wenn ich Lichtjahre entfernt bin von solchen Fähigkeiten, so ist es doch sehr inspirierend, Dir bei dieser Challenge zuzuschauen. 👍
@@derpocheesbalsvodsnvids6806 having an hour only doesn’t suddenly transform it into one of the hardest that’s not how it works. It’s brilliant that she can do this but no it’s not difficult compared to a lot of stuff that she has even played doing this
Valentina Lisitsa did something like this with a Beethoven Sonata although she already pretty much knew the piece and was showing how she worked out difficult parts. She also did a sight-reading video. Nice to see you are humble enough to let people see how even high-level Classical Pianists can struggle a bit when first learning a difficult piece. The Chopin Pics and comments are priceless !!
Your 10 minutes attempt already sounds way better than my three months version...lol It's impossible to not laugh together with you, thanks for make my quarantine day better!
Bin jetzt 15 und hab dieses Lied vor nem Jahr angefangen zu spielen, kann es aber immer noch nicht ohne irgendwelche Fehler. Auf jeden Fall Respekt dass du so schnell so gut spielen kannst
oh wow!, i'm impressed by your insistence and dedication, more than 20 minutes with the same piece is exhausting, you are inspiring, it makes you want to study 4 hours a day to see if in 10 years I read like you. Un abraso enorme desde Colombia.
In tears at my age! Inspired to give it a go. It's so great that you tell us its okay to fail. Chopin would have been proud such a passionate performance.
I find it amazing how you play the piece. I have been learning it for 7 months and finaly finished it, but your „Betonung“ is so much better than mine. Keep going.
Haha I'm like a below average piano student at university and thinking about trying this too. Forcing it online might make me practise more actively and be aware whenever I practise. I always have difficulties with sightreading - learning notes to a piece, takes longer than the average student.
I'm 23 and I began learning the piano about a year ago! Usually I practice only a few hours a week, but thanks to the stay-home orders I practice for around 2-3 hours a day! When I learn a new piece I try to learn a phrase at a time, the right hand part, the left hand, then putting it together. It amazes me that even while practicing for the first time you can do both!! I try to do hanons every day, and learn something new so I don't have to disappoint my teacher if I forget to learn a song (it has happened quite a few times 😅) Your videos inspire me to go practice! I hope to be a pianist like you some day!
if you want to know HOW.. I'd explain it's cheating. Obviously there is no proof that she could give me either way that would make me 100 O% certain either way, but I'd say most likely, it's impossible. Of course, not certain again, but w/e I still think she cheated.
Love the humor to show we're all human when learning a new song. Still, that's pretty damn good. I now find myself chuckling at my own mistakes on the guitar more.
Würd's feiern, wenn du das mal mit der Czerny Etüde op. 399 nr. 10 oder Bortkiewicz Etüde op. 15 nr. 9 machen würdest. Vielleicht auch das Präludium aus Czernys op. 856 Nr. 44

One of my first steps when learning a piece, is listening to some recordings of it. Just to get an idea how it should sound.
That is the MOST important step - listening to the recording, not the reading of the music
Hmmm...sometimes I like not to listen,show I don't unconsciously try to replicate what I just heard,...don't know

I'm actually totally blind and am learning this one too... It's a challenge but each time I get a part it's so rewarding... The trick I found is using midi to help along the way. If you slow it down it can make putting it together a bit easier.
Quinton Williams wow... good luck!
keep trying!
ps yu already almost through the first section.
@@quinton1110 nice
Jesus that 1 hour one was insanely good.
I love the polyrhythms in this!
This is unbelievable (and so fascinating). At 10 minutes you are where I'd hope to be after weeks of practicing. 1 hour? This is where I'll never be in my whole life (I've had weekly piano lessons for 8 years, and I still practice and play every now and then) . Soooo amazing!
Hab mir schon bei manchen Wörter gedacht,, daß hört sich ja wie die deutsche Aussprache an
Und dann Kam,, oh scheiße" :D
+1
Ja lol ich auch 😂
Dachte ich mir auch^^
Same here
Same haha 😂😂
Thank you for these amazing videos. I started playing the piano aged 5. Now 73 but not a good pianist as I had 3 strokes when I was 28 so that out paid to my aspirations of being a concert pianist. But I play for my own pleasure and now teaching my husband to play. I made him watch your videos and hopefully it made him feel better knowing that a concert pianist of your talent struggles at times. Thank you again.
My practicing recommendation:
1) Get to know the piece as a whole - know your key and rhythm, listen to some interpretation if possible and pick up pencil to set logical phrases to help you with "checkpoints", analyse the form (for example ABACA etc.)
2) Understand where is the melody (what is most singable - can be in the left hand although it's not as common as in the right hand) and practice it first then understand bass notes and make sense of chords and their relationships inside (tonic, dominant etc.; also notice where they occur repeatedly) - that is harmony
3) Do not overpractice and repeat parts you already know - ideally start from the most difficult parts, also do not start practicing from A to Z - that is called performing
4) Try to not make the music stop, use "slow motion" as a practice tool but ALWAYS feel rhythm, don't leave a place unpracticed if you can't fit it in the rhythm
5) Sleep and try practicing the next day - you will notice an improvement, if you skip a day or two a lot will be lost from your last practice
6) Don't practice more than 3 hours a day if you don't feel like it, Chopin practiced about this amount, I believe more will not increase results, only sleep and practicing the next day does
isn't it weird how if you practice right before you sleep you can wake up the next day and play/do it better? I think theres a name for it but I can't remember what it is, it's super cool tho.
1,10,1hr videos are so entertaining. You are amazing. I'm not a pianist but I love watching and listening to you play. Bravo!
I love the red "X"s. Even when you missed the notes, it sounded darn good. And not being able to sight read very well? You fooled me. Great video. I really enjoyed it.
personally i don't understand how i learned such a long piece in such a short time i really admire you i can barely play 3 notes 😂
Oh my God, I think I never played this piece as good as her 1h version... I feel so humble again now, thanks for the slap in the face! :')
Its fantastic to see her progress from 2 years ago to now.
I remember playing this piece 2 years ago, then I got depressed and lost interest on my hobbies. I never played piano tiles since that day...
How're you doing now Mr oxlong?
This is incredible. I've always wondered what a real practice session looked like for a concert pianist. I knew they were super human...AND this basically proves it😊
Your 1 hour is like my never going to happen 😂. Sehr aufregend video, keep it up.
Thanks for your naturalness and honesty. Abrazos desde Medellín- Colombia.
Actually, quite productive. By the end of the hour you were playing the first section of the impromptu quite nicely, and much of the rest of the music (the famous B section not being a technical challenge) is very repetitive, with the main differences being which notes are emphasized. It is mind staggering to think of how perhaps a weeks work on this piece and you will be very advanced with it! BTW, the Waldensteiner that was playing in the background was very worthwhile as well. Your playing touches the mind as well as the heart.
Annique, you are head a shoulders above any pianist of your generation. Male or female. Bravo!!!!
Omg das ist so wahnsinnig wie schnell Du so ein schweres Stück liest und umsetzen kannst. Was du in den ersten 10 sekunden erkannt hast hab ich 10minuten gebraucht 🤣 Einfach nur top 🙂👍
i can't believe that she can play this piece just in one hour it's just AMAZING
binge practicing an hour before a lesson, this how I expect it to go. but this is what it always sounds like 10 months later
I loved this episode. I’m leaning this piece now and it was so great to watch your process. You got up to speed far faster than I ever will. Thank you and bravo!
Really like these videos that you put up, as well as the 1 min classical. I would love to hear some more Schubert/Lizst/Chopin. Or maybe some tchaikovsky piano concertos. I liked how in your other chopin video you kinda dictated what you were practicing and why and such thought that was really interesting.
I come from Un Poco De Todo, and let me say that you are AWESOME there are no more words that I know to describe you
I think it would be fun to see you try this challenge on Flight of the Bumblebee.
Z tym naszym Chopinem to jest ogólnie JEDNA WIELKA MASAKRA. Dlatego moja droga nie zaryzykowałem, gram na gitarze. I nie mogę sobie jakoś wyobrazić, że chodził pod oknami knajp, podsłuchiwał, a potem takie utwory pisał. Życzę Ci powodzenia dzielna kobieto !
I practice for an hour (although I rarely take count of the starting and ending time) I start when I feel refresh and stop when I am too frustrated to make any progress
And here I am, learning to play piano, super impress at how fast you picked up the general gist of the piece in the first minute.
Ein tolles Video. Auch wenn ich Lichtjahre entfernt bin von solchen Fähigkeiten, so ist es doch sehr inspirierend, Dir bei dieser Challenge zuzuschauen. 👍
the improvement that she made in one hour still blows my mind! just shows that if you practice even 10 minutes a day you see improvement. WOW!!
XD....XD...impressive at the end though ;P
One of my favorite Chopin’s pieces to perform🌹🎹
That's really great sense of humor. I laught and was impressed all the time. :D
I hope *you* enjoyed it 😊
“that was so terrible”
plays one of the hardest pieces ever written with only a few mistakes in 10 minutes
Since when is fantasie impromptu one of the hardest pieces ever written? It's pretty easy for professional pianists.
@@PassionPno cool. it's not any easier just because you said so. she had an hour to practice.
@@derpocheesbalsvodsnvids6806 having an hour only doesn’t suddenly transform it into one of the hardest that’s not how it works. It’s brilliant that she can do this but no it’s not difficult compared to a lot of stuff that she has even played doing this
@@addison_1661 99% of music written is fundamentally easier than this, what im basically saying is your opinion on how hard it is doesnt matter
@@derpocheesbalsvodsnvids6806 Your argument makes zero sense.
Valentina Lisitsa did something like this with a Beethoven Sonata although she already pretty much knew the piece and was showing how she worked out difficult parts. She also did a sight-reading video. Nice to see you are humble enough to let people see how even high-level Classical Pianists can struggle a bit when first learning a difficult piece. The Chopin Pics and comments are priceless !!
I really admire your piano playing, but has anyone ever told you that you're reallyyyyy pretty? Cause omg
Learning that in one hour is absolutely crazy that’s amazing
Your 10 minutes attempt already sounds way better than my three months version...lol It's impossible to not laugh together with you, thanks for make my quarantine day better!
What an inspiration. Thank you
Bin jetzt 15 und hab dieses Lied vor nem Jahr angefangen zu spielen, kann es aber immer noch nicht ohne irgendwelche Fehler. Auf jeden Fall Respekt dass du so schnell so gut spielen kannst
Wow you have patience with this piece. Something I've never had
oh wow!, i'm impressed by your insistence and dedication, more than 20 minutes with the same piece is exhausting, you are inspiring, it makes you want to study 4 hours a day to see if in 10 years I read like you. Un abraso enorme desde Colombia.
She has ascended to a higher level of piano
She did better in one minute than I’ve done in two years 😂 😂
The after one minute attempt was actually extremely impressive for this piece, the after 1 hour attempt was amazing.
My neck becomes numb after 1-2h, soo that's a sign telling me to take a break (a long one to feel my neck again...)
Same, my forearms start hurting after 2 hours straight
My brain stops working properly after 10 minutes of practice
In tears at my age! Inspired to give it a go. It's so great that you tell us its okay to fail. Chopin would have been proud such a passionate performance.
This is me: Right hand only 1st page 1hour 1 month 1 year challenge
Your 1 hour progress , it’s my few months progress! You are awesome !! No need to feel embarrassing !
6:54 I usually play each hand reeeeally slow. Very slow😂
beautifull video 🥰💪
I find it amazing how you play the piece. I have been learning it for 7 months and finaly finished it, but your „Betonung“ is so much better than mine. Keep going.
Haha I'm like a below average piano student at university and thinking about trying this too. Forcing it online might make me practise more actively and be aware whenever I practise. I always have difficulties with sightreading - learning notes to a piece, takes longer than the average student.
I'm 23 and I began learning the piano about a year ago! Usually I practice only a few hours a week, but thanks to the stay-home orders I practice for around 2-3 hours a day! When I learn a new piece I try to learn a phrase at a time, the right hand part, the left hand, then putting it together. It amazes me that even while practicing for the first time you can do both!! I try to do hanons every day, and learn something new so I don't have to disappoint my teacher if I forget to learn a song (it has happened quite a few times 😅)
Your videos inspire me to go practice! I hope to be a pianist like you some day!
How has she gotten further in 10 minutes than I have in 2 months, this is so impressive
if you want to know HOW.. I'd explain it's cheating. Obviously there is no proof that she could give me either way that would make me 100 O% certain either way, but I'd say most likely, it's impossible. Of course, not certain again, but w/e I still think she cheated.
I love how you added Waldstein at around 5:40. It’s my favorite classical piece!
Indeed a nice video idea! We spotted your German accent as Swiss hahaha, especially on the "Ah Scheisse!"...
Greetings from Switzerland
Love the humor to show we're all human when learning a new song. Still, that's pretty damn good. I now find myself chuckling at my own mistakes on the guitar more.
1:27 „Oh, Scheiße!!“
😹 Liebe Grüße
I enjoyed this so much ! Not only the piano but also you :) you are lovely 😻
Lol... Imagine sight-reading a 4 over 3 polyrhythm at presto 😂 that takes serious balls. Much respect
Würd's feiern, wenn du das mal mit der Czerny Etüde op. 399 nr. 10 oder Bortkiewicz Etüde op. 15 nr. 9 machen würdest. Vielleicht auch das Präludium aus Czernys op. 856 Nr. 44
