The piece I reference in this video is Arabesque No.1 by Claude Debussy. If you'd like extra help on this specific piece, I made a full tutorial on it here: joshwrightpiano.teachable.com/p/debussy-arabesque-no1
E 12 G 14 A 15 A 15 C 17 B 16… hold notes for a bit (pls complete this song I think it has lots of potential I just don’t have the skill required to finish it)
This is one of the pieces that was part of my repertoire for a long time. I am more on the interprative type. The type who feels the music. Not like the guy who cries playing, 😅 but I let the music flow. On measure 22, I have a half G# note RH and p e rit.. The A Tempo with a crescendo marking is at the triplets F# A C#. Measure 24 have the same piano rit.. a minor 3rd down on F#. I repeat the same gesture on the following 2 measures, even though it's not specified. I treat it as (implied) with the A Tempo on measure on 28 which fits nicely with the cresc poco mosso on 29. I do this, as you say freely and not in a static form. Question. I treat Tempo and A Tempo slightly different. Tempo is return to the previous tempo and A Tempo, go back to the original tempo of the piece. My edition says Tempo not A Tempo, as is marked in other places. Do you treat these editorial changes based on most commonly played or original ISMLP, or based on the edition you have?
I always like to consult an urtext edition like Henle, so i know I’m playing from a pure edition that hasn’t changed things from what the composer wrote, or if something is added, it is very clearly indicated that it is editorial
Great vid very helpful, I have a question about sight-reading, is there an optional way to read like do you just play the notes on the right hand as they match up with the left hand or do you just let your left hand do an automatic thing and just count the beats in the right hand I never know what to focus on thank you josh you're amazing.
I have some videos on sightreading that have some strategies that have helped me and my students. When sightreading, you have to account for everything - one hand can’t really be automatic if you’re seeing it for the first tune
Oh, I didn’t know that you went to the university of Michigan! I’m pretty sure one of my piano teachers just got her doctorate from there. I think she studied under Arthur Greene. Also, very informative video as always! :D

@@joshwrightpiano Alright thank you! I'll keep this in mind and check out your sightreading videos.
Nice video, what is the piece?
It's arabesque no 1, by Claude Debussy 😊
