How to play FAST but also SOFT?
The two are often hard to combine because soft playing usually requires more control.
I recommend starting at a louder level first. Make sure that you are able to play the passage with precision at this comfortably loud volume.
Then, incrementally decrease the volume. Adjust your tactile approach as necessary. The changes will be quite subtle…but you will get used to automatically adjusting what is needed per volume level.
Use the soft pedal with care. Don’t let it “take over” for you - like I did here (notice how I swallowed notes right away at first!).
Important tip: Don’t just think of volume. I think it helps to concentrate more on the character of the passage, rather than on volume itself. Ask - WHY are you intending to play this passage soft?
Hope that helps!!
I love the fact that when you play the line gently, it starts sounding more like a synth or a rhodes than an acoustic piano, very cool
That’s because loud sounds are not only louder than soft sounds, they sound different than soft sounds. How prominent which overtones are changes as you go soft, and that’s responsible for what you’re observing.
Is this a song if so can anyone tell me the name
Man, I was thinking the exact same thing about her being able to create an "electric piano" sound on a grand piano. Sure, having a good instrument helps a lot (just think about how Michelangeli was so meticolous about the state of his pianos, especially during live performances and recordings) but as a pianist myself I know how much the 'touch' affects the resulting sound, and I love hers, very unique..
Have you ever noticed that when a singer holding a mic uncorks a really loud note they often pull the mic away from their mouth? Pulling the mic away from your mouth makes the sound softer, a lot softer, so why make a note louder and softer at the same time? Because the singer is looking for the timbre of the loud note without blowing their audience into the next room.
It’s three in the morning and you’re changing radio stations. The first one has an old recording of Cousin Brucie on WABC in NY from the sixties and he’s shouting a mile a minute. You turn to the second one and hear: “That was Beethoven Symphony #3, the Eroica, as played by the Berlin Philharmonic under the baton of Herbert von Karajan.” You switch to the third and you hear, barely whispered: “That was…….Miles,….from……..Kinda Blue.” Now you go back, crank up the jazz DJ, listen to the classical DJ at a normal level, and turn Cousin Brucie way down, so the whispering guy is loudest and the shouting guy is softest. Do you have any trouble telling who’s shouting and who’s whispering?
That’s a vocal manifestation of the phenomenon you’re hearing on the piano.
God exists, creation bears witness to it, but sin separates us from Him, and we sin, and deserve the hell, that is why He sent His Son Christ to live a Holy life, die on a Cross paying the penalty for our sins, saving His chosen ones of condemnation, dark powers and curses, reconciling us with God only by Faith in Jesus and His Sacrifice, *not by works,* so that no one can boast, Giving us Eternal Life, God bless you. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
This really makes me think of breath of the wild music
So glad to see I’m not the only one who immediately thought that!
With the way the musical phrase repeats it totally sounds like that
Me too!
i actually thought it was from it and im suprised its not
ME TOO LOOL
Me panicking thinking something is coming for me in Zelda . Then the sweet relief of leaving the danger .
Ikr
YES
BRO YES
Dude, I'm still at a stage where the only thing I can think of is hitting the right keys in the right timing. I'll think of phrasing in a couple of years.
its better to start practicing phrasing from the start, try it on some really easy pieces
I'm still trying to figure out how to play with both hands at the same time haha we all gotta start somewhere!
I heard somewhere that dynamics are difference between beginners and intermediate players
@@randoprior4130 my teacher would always make me learn harder songs one hand at a time, and then once I'd gotten it I'd play it SUPER slow with both hands, just to get a feeling of the two parts in relation to one another. As you get used to it, you speed it up little by little until you're playing it. It takes a whole lot of practice, I wish you the best of luck!
I’ve been playing piano for three years and I still suck at dynamics lol, it really messes with my head and I end up making more mistakes, but I guess practice makes perfect
When the guardian sees you in breath of the wild
Hell no that's when I get terrified when I first start the next game in the beginning when u see the two guardians near kakariko village ESPECIALLY there bc it's at the beginning when u have nothing but at the end of the game I just feel like I'm saying I FEAR NO MAN or completely armoured 8 legged octopus looking thing
I really love how crisp and flexible her technique is. I could watch her hands move for hours. She really inspires me to clean up my movement and focus on details.
Me too!
Dude i swear i saw a guardian appear in front of me for a second and i have no miphas grace right now.
Makes sense. Playing fast but soft can be difficult. Many years ago I was fortunate enough to hear Vladimir Horowitz at two recitals on a tour. What impressed me most was the enormous range of dynamics he had within soft.
Her musicianship is through the roof. Just amazing!
For those who don't know the Key yet, is E flat major/C minor, is not just and ascending but also playing octaves higher, that makes the scale sound more lively (sorry for poor english)
Wow thank you very much!
sounds like a guardian from BOTW is about to shoot lazer at me
*run*
Don't run. Parry like a real man
Exactly what I thought
OH NO
ah man, that line brings back so many memories of Hiromi and her playing, such a beautiful modern sound
😊
omg that line was VERY similar to the intro from 'time control', wasn't it (you have a great ear for picking that out!): ruclips.net/video/8G6hKsHHo6c/видео.html
edit: it's even in the same key!
It sounds like ‘Nineteen’ by Rob Araujo
Seconded!
@@vveisshardtthank you so much for this - I had never seen the live performance of Time Control / Controlled By Time until you posted this. Your comment took me there 🎉
If this melody isn’t a song already, it need to be. Wow.
😈😈😈
It’s not really a melody… it’s a short run/fill but being repeated several times. But I guess anything repeated over and over could be considered a melody 🤷♂️
Nineteen- Rob Araujo
@@petercampion9028 Thank you. I had to go through way too many comments and replies to find someone else that hears it to. Sounds dead on the same.
@@petercampion9028 good catch! It could be pure coincidence that it sounds similar
I love you Nahre, your mix of enthusiasm and pedagogical clarity is the best 😄
Nahre, thank you for this eye-opening demonstration!!!!! I wish, I just could repeat after you and not just watch and be in awe of your mastery!
Beautiful. And the piano sounds nice, too.
Kinda reminds me of something you'd hear in a Ghibli film
In my vocal lessons we are focusing on the importance and power of 'listening'. I think you are presenting a lovely example of this here.
Helpful and Delightful.
Thank you
It's things like this that makes me really think about adding piano to the instruments I play
Do it bro. You have ur whole life to start
It's very worth it
@@mojotex357 pretty true as I'm a junior in highschool. I think I will.
Lang Lang is so good with dynamics as you are demonstrating. You're a wonderful teacher. ❤️
IT’S SO FUNNY THAT WE ALL THINK OF ZELDA
Nahre, I've been watching your channel on and off for a few years now, and everytime I come back you always bring very high quality content. This format for the shorts-videos is very, very good. It feels inspired and fun! Wishing you continued success 🥳
Is that just a random play or is there a full song of it? I love that melody so much 🥰
🙌🏼 Out of all shorts on RUclips, I only watch yours.
Will you do a full song with this? It sounds like a battle theme or something. It sounds so cool!
Look up breath of the wild battle theme

@@TheSadMusician i hear it everyday lol, this piece feels so unique though
Late reply but her album “Alice in wonderland” uses similar themes!
The scale sounds just like Nineteen by Rob Araujo.
I love you… every fiber of your being is a teacher as well as a master musician
I love how casually you do this 😍
Not casual at all they've practiced for years. Just pretending it's casual for the camera
@@ciararespect4296 thanks captain obvious lol
The transition from soft to loud and clear gave me fucking goosebumps
I'm gonna sample this add some chords and put it over the amen break at 200bpm
Let us know when you finish it! Would love to hear that too
I'd also love to hear this, that sounds nice
There is something about this riff that is making my brain approach 100% power. I NEED to hear the whole thing!
영상 더 많이올려주세요.
정말 멋져요.
아는만큼보인다고 얼마나 대단한지...
실력을 본받고싶네요
Love this exercise!! 😍 So beautiful and very useful (I can imagine). Trying to figure out the notes is it: F Ab G Ab Bb F Ab Eb G?
Your smile is so wholesome!!✨✨
This is the kind of amazing simplistic thing that just grabs my attention and makes me subscribe. This is the only thing I’ve seen from this content creator, but I can tell just based off this extremely short clip that she is her
Such a great tone from that piano. I wonder if she is just hearing the piano, or also additional sound coming from speakers when playing. I’ve noticed notes get lost on my old piano; I always hear every individual note she plays very clearly.
the tone is in the fingers ;)
A great example of this is kora kora by Simon Jeffes. He completely shows the effect of soft and hard playing whilst speed is maintained.
You can also work the other way around: start by ghosting your notes, and play with more force until the sound comes through.
You could, but it would be much harder to maintain control and evenness of tone. When starting loud and clear, we'll have less to practice because we already started with a firm foundation, instead of needing to do everything all at once.
For us beginners ... NICE!!!! Thank You for showing little differences here!
That’s actually such a smooth sample though
slow it down half speed and put a beat on it! haha
Your playing is so fluent. You’re quickly becoming one of my favs
Dude... I really love your colorful touch on the piano. Would buy a Sol-Debussy-Ravel album in a second!. Ravel's Scarbo with a Nahre Sol piano touch must be pretty awesome.
Nice. I also enjoy playing scales. 😉
My brain: soft, fast, even. Pick two.
Start with soft and even, then. Fast can come later.
This would make a crazy sample….love the sound
would go stupid on breakcore or release cut
Nahre, your talent is evident in every little thing. Thanks for all your posts
Is there a full version of this?? It just sounds so good
This

Dancing by the Keith Jarrett Trio from the album Changeless sounds pretty similar to me
@@TheIt348 really nice piece thanks for sharing!!
Two songs that sound similar
First is time control or controlled by time by hiromis sonic boom
Second is nineteen by rob araujo
Check out Nineteen by Rob Araujo
Love to hear your Work ,so together....... Independently 😮❤
Reminds me of the song Nineteen by Rob Araujo, I thunk it'd be great practice.
Oh my god that flourish at the end is just magical!
Pure eargasm q
Just awesome. Not only the dynamics but note choice also. Really stunning!
As a drummer and guitarist beginning to learn the piano, this seems beyond my comprehension
Bro just do bends on your piano, it ain't that hard
@@aeea3306 it was a joke, but thanks ig
What are you talking about, you can actually play soft and gentle the guitar and the drums, depending om what you require 😂
@@squallgf88 it’s a joke but thanks ig 🤦
Love this so much! Makes me appreciate music n great composers more than before.. Very inspiring rising composer!
Increíble... Será alguna melodía la que toca o solo es escala? Pero suena hermosamente maravilloso! Si alguien sabe dígame, no quiero morir con la duda :'u
Se parece a "nineteen" por Rob Araujo es el mismo acorde al menos
ruclips.net/video/4axh8RYwDa8/видео.html
En los demás comentarios todos dicen lo mismo que tu…
You are a master and a true inspiration! Keep up the great work! 👏
Is this music original? Or is it from somewhere? Pls it sounds so beautiful I want to hear more
Reminds me of thunder cat- how sway
Nineteen - Rob Araujo
I really enjoy your playing .. so effortless 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was wondering if that was a example or actually a piece. May I know the name of It?
If anybody knows song name let us know!
@@life_is_gr8 I don't think THIS is a song, but [M.A.Y In the Backyard - Ryuichi Sakamoto]’s head/melody has a similar style.
@@harshlanguagebluebreachloa7053 any idea which notes she’s using in that scale? And thanks I’ll check out that song
@@life_is_gr8 Fm9
@@life_is_gr8 it goes F2 - C3 - G3 - Ab3 - Bb3 - F3 - Ab3 - Eb4 - G4
beautiful soft touch !
Sounds like the beginning of a "big brain moment" ost
For me it has started to become normality to play fast stuff too soft bc I learned it for some of my own pieces and noticed it’s easier for me by now haha
It reminds me of some Ghibli movie/Breath of the wild song
Idk
I like it so much
We need a complete version
I'm subscribing,I wanna see if you'll ever do a complete version
this sound is actually really satisfying lmao thank you for this
Fck its jUst make me wanna play BOTW somehow
Oh, I DO like the sound you make playing.
Reminds me of nineteen by rob araujo
Clicked comments to see if someone thought the same and could remember which of robs songs it was lol
Instantly thought of that one, but couldn't remember who played it. Thanks for that. I love that song!
You are a brilliant teacher who can articulate how you can make the piano talk. ❤️
Tienes mucha razón! Gracias!!
Call me by your name OST
Great that you can change the dynamic so dramatically and still keep tempo and groove, for a beginner I'd say a metronome could be very helpful
It sounds like delerious from Jjk
i find it also helpful to work in the opposite direction- mastering playing it with no tone at all, then gradually bringing the sound up out of the silence.
relax the hand, dont tense up
It's 2024 and a live musician just gave me a decent tip for mixing.
What a time to be alive.
Tell me please!! what is the name of this song????
might be nineteen by rob araujo
I love your playing and I'm kinda jealous xD proud of you
Is this part of a full song? Can anyone tell me the name?
Anomalie song I think!
Nineteen - Rob Araujo
@@petercampion9028 thank you so much!
My favorite classical musician RUclipsr. Wish I got the chance to learn a bit.
Is this a song and where can I listen to it lol
It's always good to see some people showing the real foundational piano techniques. People work a lot on scales and etudes not knowing they're supposed to practice different touch
Binary data
That was a beautiful melody and excellent playing.
How do pianists train their hand like that. I try to play keyboard through those yt tutorial where the notes are falling but my hands are stiff though I can play the beginner versions like that of the theme song of howls moving castle
You gotta actually learn the instrument and not have those bars dropping all the time, we have a thing called “sheet music” which every other instrument uses.
Do exercises, so much of piano playing is having muscle memory in every single pattern. Memorize the note progression of the song and then just practice it. I can assure you after a while (couple of weeks)you'll be able to play it just fine.
Very clean technique and nice touch.
Wonderful Dynamics👍
u are shining!
Thank you! Keep them coming. I have an 8 year old who can only play LOUD and FAST. Always looking for some idea that will resonate with him.
Excelent my dear Nahre ❤
I love everything you do.
This reminds me of a calming phone ringing... really it is mesmerizing how well you control the cadency
Such talent, just amazing.
Excellent performance brilliant brilliant awesome
Such beautiful control, and articulation. I love it! 🥰🥰🥰
Hint:
She's. . . Very good!
Her expression says it all too!
Just wonderful!
i would love to play arpeggios this fast, pianos not my main is not my main instrument but i’ve always found this style of playing so cool, tigran h. and alejandro aranda ect
So talented!
She is so pretty!!
So graceful 🎹💯
Amazing😍 I need to think more gentle💗
