Piano playing combines three major "techniques" -- centering, rebounding, and weight coordination. Centering asks for a great freedom of the hands, wrists and arms so as to move sideways and up and down very quickly and freely; Rebounding is a constant impulsion that moves the hands instantly all the time, and promotes immediate relaxation of hands and fingers at every second. Fingers should rest on the keys as long as they are not playing, just as the hammers do when they are not playing, they rest on the chords without moving. Weight coordination is a major capacity linked with energy, phrasing and meaning.
Anirvan Ray to Maria Saboya You are a marvelous teacher. My respect for you. Please upload more videos so that people like me who far away and are unable to be directly under your guidance can be inspired by seeing you through videos. Thank you.
Aaron Petit il y a 2 ans Many people have great tone today, but no one has a magical tone unless you go back 50+ years... But you.... this was perfect! I have never heard playing this amazing, from a living artist. Wow.
I have wanted my whole life to study from someone like you Mme.Saboya, a true master. I pray to God I will get the chance, Thank you so much for sharing your skill, knowledge and love of music...you have indeed made our wold a much more beautiful place. -Jon
Maria à été mon professeur pendant mon adolescence . C'est une pédagogue hors- pair ! La pédagogie c'est aussi un don, et elle a ce don. Les partitions deviennent complètement lisibles avec elle. Maria connait vraiment très bien la "mécanique" de la main et l’engagement du corps dans le jeu pianistique . Tout devient facile avec elle !!
Je suis content pour vous 😁 !!! Hélas dans les conservatoires italiens on ne trouve presque plus de vrais enseignants 😪 et l'on finit par se démotiver !!!!
@@pars4709 identique en France poubelle!!! ou la majorité de la population a été phagocytés par les idées de loisirs plaisir etc. Il y a encore quelques Conservatoires qui fonctionnent très bien, mais beaucoup sont devenus des garderies où les enseignants sont contraints à faire de l’occupationnel. Pauvre France ! Tous ces sachants comme il se nomment eux mêmes, ne se rendent pas comptent qu’ils sont en train de ciller la branche sur laquelle ils sont....
Love this. Love that you have smaller hands like myself, I just happened upon this and you have given me confidence that I have better technique than I thought!
The physical side of the art of playing piano is extraordinarily interesting for us, however the general population don't have any idea of the behind the scenes work that goes into playing repertoire.
Entre les minutes 3,17 et 3,43 je propose au jeune pianiste de réaliser 'un mouvement en deux temps, qui consiste à articuler le doigt en extension e à frapper la touche tout de suite. Le doigt n'est pas arrondi et la main ne doit pas rester rigide ni immobile. Le premier but de cet exercice est d'améliorer la flexibilité des tendons. Le deuxième but de cet exercice est d'apprendre aux doigts à frapper la touche et à se détendre immédiatement. .Pendant ce geste qui se rapproche d'un simple "tambourinage" des doigts, la main et les bras se maintiennent assez détendus et le geste est très souple.
LA TECHNIQUE DU REBOND EST INDISPENSABLE AU JEU PIANISTIQUE A TOUS LES NIVEAUX. ELLE PERMET D'ALLEGER, DE DETENDRE, D'AMMELIORER LA VITESSE, D'ASSURER UNE GRANDE ECONOMIE DE L'EFFORT. ELLE INSTAURE LA COORDINATION DANS TOUS LES GESTES ET DONNE AU PIANISTE UNE IMMENSE LIBERTE. THE REBOUND TECHNIQUE IS ESSENTIAL IN PIANO PLAYING AT ALL LEVELS. IT HELPS TO RELAX, INCREASES THE SPEED, ASSURES THE COORDINATION IN EVERY ACTION, AND GIVES TO THE PIANIST A GREAT FREEDOM.
This video was just what I needed. I struggle to explain to my young students' parents just how important technique is. I will email you to gain more information about your book. Thank you!
Madame, you are an angel of music and your sounds go straight to my soul. This video is so inspiring, I hope we can have soon your book, with an English version. (I'm Italian and my French is not so advanced).
I do not know the wave method...this is "my" method, after receiving the guidance of Alexander Sienkiewicz (polish pianist, polish-russian school) in my early years, and then creating my own method after more than 20 years of research and personnal work as a pianist. MS
excellent!!! just wish I spoke / understood french. But watch very carefully what she is doing. There is so much to learn here. Thanks for posting this.
Bonjour Maria Je suis guitariste et n'arrive pas trouver un professeur aussi avisé que vous . Ce que vous dites dans cette video est une source d'inspiration . Merci

Want to be able to play my own compositions/songs as a song writer. Hear the music in my head but can't seem to get it to my fingers. Somewhat pick out notes and tunes by ear. Saw your video and thought maybe I need to learn exercises and technique BEFORE developing bad habits. I live near Seattle, Washington in USA. Any instructors in my area teaching your technique? Thank you
Hi Maria, thank you for your passion and dedication, I'd like to ask you if the technical principles that you teach refer in some way to the Russian school and/or to the principles expressed, for example, by Gyorgy Sandor in his book "On Piano Playing : Motion, Sound and Expression ",
You can say that the technical principles that I teach have some aspects of both, but they are also the expression of my own research and experiences in contact with great musicians and pedagogues.
Video très intéressante et instructive. En effet, ces mouvements sont à la base d'une bonne technique pianistique. Maria Saboya prend compte des doigt non comme un intrument à part, mais faisant partie d'un tout. Merci. Abraços do Brasil!

Dimitris Petrovas Diplom-Klavierlehrer degree from the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main Iraklio Attikis, Anafis 16, Athens, Greece. To the Music Publisher I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation about the book "Piano Cantabile: Pédagogie pour un Piano qui Chante", written by the pianist Maria Saboya. As a pianist and piano teacher, I had the opportunity to take lessons from her and observe her ideas and methods regarding the technical and musical aspects of piano playing. Her knowledge, abilities and skills are extraordinary and she helped me a lot to broaden significantly my knowledge on technical and musical matters. Her pedagogical method is unique and incomparable to any other method that i am aware of, making this book a must have for any piano student and teacher who wants to master the genuine way of piano playing. Therefore, I give my highest recommendation. Athens, Greece, 12.2.2018
@Jay Agari While you wait, you may read my introductory article that will help you to understand the "best" piano technique according to my students an followers. It was published in clavier_companion_20170102.pdf…(You can contact Clavier Companion on internet and ask them for this article)

Maria Saboya Thanks for replying Maria! And thanks for sharing the knowledge, I’m actually reading your article “Improving Coordination” and it’s fascinating.
Has Maria talked about the importance of the subscapular muscle (sour-scapulaire en francais) for the upper extremity? And the pisiform bone and it's causation of 5th finger flexor digitorum profundis?
The secret for a "relaxed" technique is to "relax" thé shoulders and to integrate thé energy that comes from thé seat into thé fingertips. The forearm must adapt to the différent lateral positions while maintaining thé shoulders down and thé hands resting on thé keyboard. In so doing wé direct thé mouvement to thé bottom of thé keys.

It is an ancient "cité" called Villeneuvette, near Montpellier in the South of France. It was an old "factory" designed and built by the great COLBERT, but transformed into a private community with a few houses and gardens.
www.dropbox.com/s/dl3uwruawigb8z7/clavier_companion_20170102.pdf?dl=0 This is the link for my article published by CLAVIER COMPANION of Jan/Feb issue on pages 30 - 35. You may get a free issue. The film is my own from RUclips.
Надо заметить, что такая техника игры присуща только для тех, кто играет классику, но не в других стилях и жанрах. Так что не стоит заморачиваться с такой ёрзающей туда сюда рукой тем, кто не классик)
The music itself creates the technique needed to implement it. Technique is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Watch McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock....
THAT IS ABSOLUTELLY CORRECT. BUT WHEN A BODY HAS NOT THE CAPACITY TO ADAPT TO THE INSTRUMENT THE PIANIST CANNOT BE FAITHFUL TO THE DEEP REALITY OF A PIECE OF MUSIC. THE BODY OF A PIANIST MUST BE FREE AND PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO THE INSTRUMENT. THEN HE CAN PLAY REAL MUSIC. ALL WE DO IN MY SCHOOL IS TO FREE THE STUDENT BODY SO THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO FREELY EXPRESS THE MUSIC. YOU CITE PIANISTS WHO HAVE AN EXCELLENT COORDINATION ON THE PIANO. THIS QUALITY DOES NOT COME TO LIFE WITHOUT A LONG PREPARATION OF THE FIRST INSTRUMENT WHICH IS THE BODY ITSELF. IN MY SCHOOL, "TECHNIQUE" MEANS "WAYS TO LIBERATE THE BODY" TO ALLOW THE PIANIST TO CONQUER HIS INSTRUMENT AND THEN PLAY WITH ALL HIS PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL CAPACITIES.
“You don’t learn any kind of shit like that naturally. That’s something somebody teaches you, like when you teach someone how to play an instrument correctly. After you’ve learned how to play your instrument the right way, you can turn around and play it the way you want to, anyway you hear the music and sound and want to play it. But you gotta first learn how to be cool and let whatever happens happen.” Miles Davis (from his Autobiography) I think there is a lot of value in learning technique, and in practicing technique by itself (isolated from music content). The thing, is that, like other subjects as nutrition and economics, as important and useful as it is to TRY understanding it (technique), it's incredibly complex, there is no easy and exact answer for these things. So, there are various approaches for piano technique, like there various approaches to nutrition and how to deal with your body. You have to learn as much as you can and think for yourself. But don't think that technique is ”embedded” in the music, you will miss so much incredible knowledge, so many “eureka” moments that you get when you think about technique seriously. I like to read a lot about technique from various sources and collect all kinds of technique exercises in a workbook, then at the end my body will learn to do things in various ways, and finally combine all the knowledge into efficient playing. I like to practice all ways possible, instead of a single way.
DO AS YOU WISH MY DEAR JUAN ! YOU ARE FREE, FREE, FREE ! FREE YOURSELF, FREE YOUR BODY, AND MAKE YOUR MUSIC EXPLODE FREELY ! THIS IS WHAT I TEACH TO MY STUDENTS. IT IS NOT EVEN TEACHING..... IT IS MOSTLY ERASING CONDITIONNINGS....
mariasaboya-pianiste.blogspot.fr/2013/09/elements-pour-une-economie-optimale.html. Ici vous pouvez lire cet article d'introduction en français. Le livre n'est pas encore publié. Ce sera pour bientôt.MS
Mme Saboya, J'ai lu vos lignes et un passage m'a beaucoup intérréssé : "Un jeune pianiste doit être guidé par un professeur qui a réfléchi suffisamment sur ces questions et qui sait observer et corriger son élève en conséquence". Tous les grands pianistes ont eu des grands maîtres mais les plus grands ont eu des maîtres qui ont su quoi faire pour que le défaut devienne la qualité. La lecture de Neuhaus est incontournable si on veut comprendre comment. Je me réjouis de lire prochainement votre livre. Bien cordialement. P.
Merci, Philippe. Vous avez raison, Neuhaus est incontournable. Je le cite dans la bibliographie de mon livre, vous le verrez. J'ai connu Neuhaus à travers l'enseignement de mon dernier professeur, Evgeni Malinin, qui avait été l'un des meilleurs élèves de Neuhaus. Avec mes meilleurs voeux, Maria Saboya
Chère Madame, Vos élèves ont de la chance de vous avoir comme professeur. Il faut garder ce (précieux) savoir pour les générations suivantes et l'écriture d'un livre en est une garantie. Merci. P.
DEAR ALEX, in the particular case of that student, that exercice was necessary because he had started to learn piano very late. His tendons were too tight so that he did not have real freedom of his finger movements. In doing that exercice he would improve the flexibility of his tendons and liberate his fingers.
LA MUSIQUE EST TOUJOURS VIVANTE. ELLE S'EXPRIME A TRAVERS LES BOUTS DES DOIGTS D'UN PIANISTE, C'EST DIRE QUE LA VIE QUI HABITE CE PIANISTE SE TRANSMET DIRECTEMENT A SES DOIGTS QUI PARLENT, QUI CHANTENT ET QUI EXPRIMENT LA MUSIQUE. QU'A-T-IL FAIT POUR TRANSFORMER SES DOIGTS EN DES AUTHENTIQUES INTERPRETES D'UNE VERITE MUSICALE VIVANTE ?
Ceci est très intéressant ...mais en regardant de plus près on s'aperçoit la quasi totalité des pianistes professionnels sont des enfants de pianiste ou de musicien pour le moins... a une époque ou tout va très vite (trop !?) je doute qu' un enfant même surdoué puisse arriver à faire carrière en dehors de ce contexte .
Brava, ma quando si decideranno a dare l'onore dovuto al grande R. BREITHAUPT (1905) saccheggiato da tutti,da SANDOR, da BLANCHE SELVA e altri senza mai citarlo . Quanto gli deve la grande scuola russa?
Piano playing combines three major "techniques" -- centering, rebounding, and weight coordination. Centering asks for a great freedom of the hands, wrists and arms so as to move sideways and up and down very quickly and freely; Rebounding is a constant impulsion that moves the hands instantly all the time, and promotes immediate relaxation of hands and fingers at every second. Fingers should rest on the keys as long as they are not playing, just as the hammers do when they are not playing, they rest on the chords without moving. Weight coordination is a major capacity linked with energy, phrasing and meaning.

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation about the book "Piano Cantabile: Pédagogie pour un Piano qui Chante", written by the pianist Maria Saboya.
As a pianist and piano teacher, I had the opportunity to take lessons from her and observe her ideas and methods regarding the technical and musical aspects of piano playing. Her knowledge, abilities and skills are extraordinary and she helped me a lot to broaden significantly my knowledge on technical and musical matters. Her pedagogical method is unique and incomparable to any other method that i am aware of, making this book a must have for any piano student and teacher who wants to master the genuine way of piano playing. Therefore, I give my highest recommendation.

@Jay Agari While you wait, you may read my introductory article that will help you to understand the "best" piano technique according to my students an followers. It was published in clavier_companion_20170102.pdf…(You can contact Clavier Companion on internet and ask them for this article)

Is this the wave method ? It sure looks similar

Check in on Maria Saboya from Paris. She is perhaps the only great great
teacher that remains in this field of expertise that I've ever known.
Is there someone equal to Dorothy and Maria in the America?
There are still several (yet not many) people who study this lineage of technique, I'm sure.
@@anotherdepressedmusician No, she's the ONLY one.
Pianiste Maria Saboya: Éléments pour une Économie Optimale dans le Jeu Pianistique... mariasaboya-pianiste.blogspot.fr
Subtitles are very out of sync, makes it impossible to understand.
SORRY FOR THAT. I WILL TRY TO IMPROVE IT. THANK YOU.
Maria Saboya Thanks for replying Maria! And thanks for sharing the knowledge, I’m actually reading your article “Improving Coordination” and it’s fascinating.
Has Maria talked about the importance of the subscapular muscle (sour-scapulaire en francais) for the upper extremity? And the pisiform bone and it's causation of 5th finger flexor digitorum profundis?
Yes, you can find all this in her book "Cantabile pour un piano chantant" Ed. Delatour.
@@dominiquet.6784 I tried to search online for the book you mentioned and got zero hits. Please could you provide some more information?
The secret for a "relaxed" technique is to "relax" thé shoulders and to integrate thé energy that comes from thé seat into thé fingertips. The forearm must adapt to the différent lateral positions while maintaining thé shoulders down and thé hands resting on thé keyboard. In so doing wé direct thé mouvement to thé bottom of thé keys.
oui ceci est parfaitement decrit dans votre livre. merci de votre travail.

I can confirm the fact Maria is so helpful, she's my teacher I start with her one month ago and it's a literal change of perspective, I totally relearn and it's a revolution for me ! Excellent pedagogist for sure.
RÉPONDRE
May I ask where is this wonderful, inspiring place?
It is an ancient "cité" called Villeneuvette, near Montpellier in the South of France.
It was an old "factory" designed and built by the great COLBERT, but transformed into a private community with a few houses and gardens.
It's so peaceful and rich of ancient atmosphere... rare qualities in our times...
I don't understand french... Is it possible to get the english subtitle ???
I wish there was a video on how to get the pinky to relax in a natural curved manner when playing.....mine tends to stick up a bit
It’s simple. Focus your mind on your body. Concentrate effortlessly like meditation. You must relearn a new muscle memory.

What is the title of the last piece she played at the end? Chopin sonata?
+Ally Uy It is Sonata in B minor opus 58 of Chopin..
What is the name of the Baroque piece that the first student (the girl) is playing?
Suite Française no. 5 of J.S.Bach, "Courante"
Надо заметить, что такая техника игры присуща только для тех, кто играет классику, но не в других стилях и жанрах. Так что не стоит заморачиваться с такой ёрзающей туда сюда рукой тем, кто не классик)
The music itself creates the technique needed to implement it. Technique is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Watch McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock....
THAT IS ABSOLUTELLY CORRECT. BUT WHEN A BODY HAS NOT THE CAPACITY TO ADAPT TO THE INSTRUMENT THE PIANIST CANNOT BE FAITHFUL TO THE DEEP REALITY OF A PIECE OF MUSIC. THE BODY OF A PIANIST MUST BE FREE AND PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO THE INSTRUMENT. THEN HE CAN PLAY REAL MUSIC. ALL WE DO IN MY SCHOOL IS TO FREE THE STUDENT BODY SO THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO FREELY EXPRESS THE MUSIC. YOU CITE PIANISTS WHO HAVE AN EXCELLENT COORDINATION ON THE PIANO. THIS QUALITY DOES NOT COME TO LIFE WITHOUT A LONG PREPARATION OF THE FIRST INSTRUMENT WHICH IS THE BODY ITSELF. IN MY SCHOOL, "TECHNIQUE" MEANS "WAYS TO LIBERATE THE BODY" TO ALLOW THE PIANIST TO CONQUER HIS INSTRUMENT AND THEN PLAY WITH ALL HIS PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL CAPACITIES.
“You don’t learn any kind of shit like that naturally. That’s something somebody teaches you, like when you teach someone how to play an instrument correctly. After you’ve learned how to play your instrument the right way, you can turn around and play it the way you want to, anyway you hear the music and sound and want to play it. But you gotta first learn how to be cool and let whatever happens happen.”
Miles Davis (from his Autobiography)
I think there is a lot of value in learning technique, and in practicing technique by itself (isolated from music content). The thing, is that, like other subjects as nutrition and economics, as important and useful as it is to TRY understanding it (technique), it's incredibly complex, there is no easy and exact answer for these things. So, there are various approaches for piano technique, like there various approaches to nutrition and how to deal with your body. You have to learn as much as you can and think for yourself. But don't think that technique is ”embedded” in the music, you will miss so much incredible knowledge, so many “eureka” moments that you get when you think about technique seriously. I like to read a lot about technique from various sources and collect all kinds of technique exercises in a workbook, then at the end my body will learn to do things in various ways, and finally combine all the knowledge into efficient playing. I like to practice all ways possible, instead of a single way.
DO AS YOU WISH MY DEAR JUAN ! YOU ARE FREE, FREE, FREE ! FREE YOURSELF, FREE YOUR BODY, AND MAKE YOUR MUSIC EXPLODE FREELY ! THIS IS WHAT I TEACH TO MY STUDENTS. IT IS NOT EVEN TEACHING..... IT IS MOSTLY ERASING CONDITIONNINGS....
Maria Saboya : ) thanks so much for the inspiration Maria

Mme Saboya,
J'ai lu vos lignes et un passage m'a beaucoup intérréssé : "Un jeune pianiste doit être guidé par un professeur qui a réfléchi suffisamment sur ces questions et qui sait observer et corriger son élève en conséquence".
Tous les grands pianistes ont eu des grands maîtres mais les plus grands ont eu des maîtres qui ont su quoi faire pour que le défaut devienne la qualité. La lecture de Neuhaus est incontournable si on veut comprendre comment.
Je me réjouis de lire prochainement votre livre.
Bien cordialement.
P.
Merci, Philippe. Vous avez raison, Neuhaus est incontournable. Je le cite dans la bibliographie de mon livre, vous le verrez. J'ai connu Neuhaus à travers l'enseignement de mon dernier professeur, Evgeni Malinin, qui avait été l'un des meilleurs élèves de Neuhaus. Avec mes meilleurs voeux, Maria Saboya
Chère Madame,
Vos élèves ont de la chance de vous avoir comme professeur. Il faut garder ce (précieux) savoir pour les générations suivantes et l'écriture d'un livre en est une garantie.
Merci.

Dear Maestra!Is there any necesity in lifting up the fingers so much as the young man does at 03:34?
DEAR ALEX, in the particular case of that student, that exercice was necessary because he had started to learn piano very late. His tendons were too tight so that he did not have real freedom of his finger movements. In doing that exercice he would improve the flexibility of his tendons and liberate his fingers.
Maria Saboya Got it!Thank you very much,dear Maestra!
Dear Alex, you are a very good pianist. All the best to you, and thank you for the contact. Maria Saboya
Maria Saboya thank you very much,dear Maestra!I value your opinion a lot!
LA MUSIQUE EST TOUJOURS VIVANTE. ELLE S'EXPRIME A TRAVERS LES BOUTS DES DOIGTS D'UN PIANISTE, C'EST DIRE QUE LA VIE QUI HABITE CE PIANISTE SE TRANSMET DIRECTEMENT A SES DOIGTS QUI PARLENT, QUI CHANTENT ET QUI EXPRIMENT LA MUSIQUE. QU'A-T-IL FAIT POUR TRANSFORMER SES DOIGTS EN DES AUTHENTIQUES INTERPRETES D'UNE VERITE MUSICALE VIVANTE ?
MARIA SABOYA PROPOSE DES SOLUTIONS AUX PIANISTES QUI RESSENTENT DES PROBLEMES DE BLOCAGES OU DES DOULEURS MUSCULAIRES PENDANT LE JEU PIANISTIQUE.
Thank u.
Je veux être son élève
How can I get your book and videos
Thé book "Piano Cantabile" is in thé hands of thé publisher and they say it is coming out in Decembet 2021.
The publisher is "Éditions Delatour" in France. You may write them and ask.
da aula aonde Maria?
Em Paris. Aonde você mora ?
+Maria Saboya ixi moro em Santa Catarina kkkk
Eu estive là em 2014. Dei aulas na Escola de Musica de Diogo Thumé entre outros.
oh no it's in french!!i mean i don't have anything against the language,except that i don't understand it...translation pretty plz?
Ceci est très intéressant ...mais en regardant de plus près on s'aperçoit la quasi totalité des pianistes professionnels sont des enfants de pianiste ou de musicien pour le moins...
a une époque ou tout va très vite (trop !?) je doute qu' un enfant même surdoué puisse arriver à faire carrière en dehors de ce contexte .
I prefer russian styles. :)
IT IS YOUR RIGHT, ALEX ! GOOD LUCK.
Haha 10 year past and im watch this??!!!
Sure, the problems and needs of young pianists are always the same !
Brava, ma quando si decideranno a dare l'onore dovuto al grande R. BREITHAUPT (1905) saccheggiato da tutti,da SANDOR, da BLANCHE SELVA e altri senza mai citarlo .
Quanto gli deve la grande scuola russa?
j'ai lu son livre : "pour un piano qui chante" passionnant bravo je le conseile vivement
