Beautiful! You’re such a fast learner! I miss my university years when while taking breaks I would hang around my friends’ practice rooms and listen to their practice…
I know the first and third movements are much more technically impressive but this is actually my favorite movement, especially the passage around 3:00 and the waltzy part towards the end. Beautiful playing 🥰
Hello Miss Orlenko On the subject of the large chords that you had to break up or roll, if you worked on stretching daily for five minutes, you would eventually attain the flexibility required to play them. Your hands look very elegant and flexible. It is like learning to do the splits in gymnastics. The body is very adaptable. One would breath in deep and hold the breath then stretch for the bottom note to the top note and and then breath out which allows the hand to relax and stretch further. Using this method consistently I went from playing a ninth to playing a tenth and touching and holding down an eleventh within a few months. The great pianist Adolf Henselt(Friend of LIszt and Chopin) worked on his stretches to the extent that he could play C E G C F in the left hand and a B E A C E in the right hand( he did not have, particularly large hands).

Hey Umar, thank you so much for your comment! I do usually break or roll large chords, but only when I already feel like giving up :)) Stretching the hand can come with its downsides!! Schumann injured himself after using various stretching exercises to gain "finger independence." 😱
OK, so I'm late to the parade with this... I'm learning a lot from watching how you practice. Separating voices out while playing both hands is something I'm beginning to do with Tchaikovsky. I enjoy listening to your Rachmaninoff; you clearly have a close affinity for his music. Hope to hear your completed and polished version some day! On a separate note, I've recently discovered that Villa-Lobos wrote a lot of piano music, and I've been listening to that while working. His fusion of Brazilian and European styles is fascinating. It's definitely worth seeking out.
Thank you for watching, and great question!! As much as I’d love to do that, sometimes I have technical difficulties, and would prefer *not* to refilm the practice vlogs (if and when the audio cuts out while recording) 🙃
Why don't you use a paper format for the sheet music? I recon what you use is very practical but it make you stare at a screen for a while... And also I find real sheet music more satisfying. Or is it just for videos, so you we can see what you're writing?
Well, it certainly is more useful for the videos, but I actually do use the iPad for all of my scores (RIP my eyes)... It's such a convenient way to keep all of my scores in one place and easy to find! I agree with you about the scores, but they can also get quite pricey if you want only the best editions for every piece you play... Let me know your thoughts!

Hearing my friends practice guilts me intro going back into my practice room!! Loool the practice guilt is real 😳
You are a life saver! Your thought process helped so much! Thanks

Thank you so much for watching!! I totally agree ❤️🙏
Sounds great! Are you going to vlog the infamous 3rd movement as well?
Of course!! Thank you so much for watching 🙏

Your smile is always so beautiful.

Thank you so much for watching! ☺️
Really enjoy your videos! Question, if you don't mind, why not connect your piano sound directly to the video instead of using mics?

@@WithMariya Thanks for the reply. Awesome playing!
@@WithMariya also if you dont mind me asking, what application are you using your ipad?
