This is one of my favorite pieces in the piano repertoire. Thank you to all who requested a ProPractice tutorial on this piece. I hope you enjoy it. Please stay safe and healthy during this COVID-19 quarantine. Music has great healing powers - keep practicing hard and creating beautiful music!
Josh Wright Could you make a lecture regarding how not to sound bashy while playing fortissimo and loud in general. I Find it hard to voice the melody in some pieces. Thank you if you’re reading this!
I remember playing this for my ABRSM grade 7 about 13 years ago! It propelled my love for Tchaikovsky, and I still play it now :) Such a joy to listen to others performances of it!
Thank you for posting this and playing it so beautifully. This piece is quite meaningful for me. I played and posted it here for my uncle a month before he passed. And incidentally, my fiance said seeing the video was the moment he knew he was falling in love. I love how you explain the nuances and subtleties here. You are a wonderful teacher.
This creaps me out !!! I was just listening to this piece and printed the sheet music to play tomorrow. Learned it as a young teen and was the first piece that moved me this much
👏👏👏 great analysis of the October piece, and the performance. I was looking everywhere to find a proper performance and analysis in English and finally… Pletnev is the best interpreter of Tsaykovsky opuses… you are lucky to have him as a teacher.
Aw! It faded just at the "here's a little trick...." :D. I love these pieces. Only just discovered them (at the age of 44). The Seasons and Album for the Young. All wrapped up in Tchaikovsky Piano Collection in Schirmer's Library Vol 2116 along with The Nutcracker Suite and a selection of others including Romance that you mention in the video. One of the best books I've bought for a while. Thanks again Josh, I'll be adding this pro practice to my library.
I'm an early intermediate player and would love some tips on how to get more range in my sound, ie the forte louder and piano softer. I feel like I know I where I want more dynamics and I'm banging the heck out but I'm just not getting the range, still sound like a robot. Normally I play the woodwinds and it's so easy because I just breath and sing, dynamics come out automatically.
hey josh i enjoy your channel !! my question is : what type of technology are you using to show your hands only at the bottom of your videos ? thanks . also i am playing this piece for senior recital thanks for the help
wow, your hand reach minus my reach is double the length of my pinky :O that's at least 4 semitones longer. I don't know how I should feel about my small hands, who even knows what level I will reach but still

I’m only now realizing that the e in “propractice” is made from piano keys.
I’ll never unsee that.
I love this piece. Could you do the same with "March" also by Tchaikovsky?
So beautiful.. Josh😍

Would you consider doing a tutorial on the last movement of Beethoven's Opus 26 Sonata? Appreciate your work, hoping to reach your level someday!
Bravo! How do you capture the sound, so clear and immersive? One mic? Separate audio and video? And ....?
Very nice 👌👍

Note: You only get 10 minutes out of 42. To see it all you've got to cough up some money!!
