Thank goodness for Liszt Transcriptions, that over a seven year period he gave over a thousand concerts, traveling through every hamlet in Europe and Russia, performing everything from Bach to Chopin, to those who never had the opportunity to go to a concert or see a Opera.
Hi Ms Ching-Yun My Taiwanese Teacher who is also a Concert Pianist based in New York recommended me to watch your video of Barcarolle because we’re working on the same piece, you have no idea how much inspiration and hope you have resonated!!!! ❤️ Thank you so much Ching-Yu!!!!! 🥰
I just drop a line to say you are great, i've never heard someone playing Scriabin etude C-Sharp Minor like you did. It left me speechless and it was astounding! Hi from Italy, a land of great musicians
Being from Italy means nothing, talent isnt derived from the place of your birth, it is derived from hard work and dedication. This nationalistic bullshit is garbage.
Just as you say, in terms of 8ve technique, it truly depends on what's comfortable for the pianist. For those who find the above method physically awkward, I would suggest playing them through the wrist like 8ve scales. Annique Gottler (Heart of the Keys RUclips channel) compares the movement to dribbling a basketball; as it gets closer to the ground it rebounds quicker and quicker, and one keeps it going by increasingly subtle, light, and relaxed wrist motion. If you try to muscle through, the basketball rebounds with increasing force, and in the end, one can't dribble with the necessary force to keep up the frequency of inpact, and you lose the coordinated movement between ball and hand. Anyways, to shorten this: Try playing through the wrist, perhaps with it slightly raised, and stay relaxed. The speed will increase over time. Fortunately, this piece sounds gorgeous at a slow tempo. As stated in the video, moving the hand back and forth towards the piano helps make things easier. Thank you for this video, I appreciate the time and effort that goes into producing this sort of thing.
So nice! As a musician, I'm curious about technique of other instruments, and it was super interesting to understand how is it possible to play those impressive repeated notes; your take on the expression of the piece connected to the chatacters makes the music so beautiful! Brava 👏
This is a very underrated video, it really helped me learn this piece! I performed this at the music college in the University of Cambridge, and succeeded thanks to all your useful advice. Thank you so much!
You are a gem! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! You have such a remarkably brilliant and concise projection. You say so much with so little. Your demonstrations connect with me absolutely seamlessly. My cup runneth over.
Little hands learning octaves! I heard you from Josh Wright ,and you were incredible marvelous at these octaves ! Thank you so much ,I’ll pick up my self-esteem about technics and trying again.
Was looking for references for Schubert/Liszt 'Gretchen am spinrade' and stumbled upon this. A treasure! Also realised that I have liked your Scriabin op.42 no.5 in the past, and it is so so good!
Another thing is, if you feel like you are ready, try to voice a gallop from the single octaves to mimic horseback riding. Even though it might sound impossible. Remember that piano keys at the time of this score were much lighter
I do not know if this is the correct technique for octaves. Watch Yuya Wang playing it. Her wrists are totally relaxed, arms are rather loose. The art serms to be an art of relaxation immediately after hitting the keys. Try to watch a slow motion video with Yuya. It is difficult to master, yes. But "tenseness" in the arms is not the secret here. The movement comes more from wrists even when the whole arm-shoulder mechanism is behind it.
Yeah this pianist is not even close to Yuja Wangs speed and clarity, but she is right about practicing in short bursts or beats and putting them together in measures.
So grateful you connect the storyline with the music and explain that so nicely. One question about the Liszt pedal markings: IMHO Liszt wrote a pedal effect ms 1-3. Paderewski changed Liszt’s pedal. Really would like to hear Liszt’s actual intention. The Paderewski “clean” pedal seems wrong to me, just saying,,,,

Ciao, Valerio, thank you so much for your kind words! Hope you are keeping well and safe. :)

@@nicholasbrown4109 Music history game weak. Reading comprehension game weak. Whiny Emo game strong.
Thank you! I'm learning this piece right now, and the second Erlkonig section is definitely a challenge...

Wonderful video! I'm trying to pick American universities to apply to and I'm going now to add your college because I love your teaching! :)
