and play piano backwards too -- Samsung phones invert the camera for some reason. I got a Yamaha from Taiwan, one of the shortest models. Thanks for your comment! 😊

Thanks! It's one of my favorites in this set

Chopin didn't like much variation on tempo at all if he didn't call for it. I likely went overboard 😢

@@gabi.coroian Thanks!

Hard to keep my fingers warm!

@@100pureshite5 This is one of my personal favorites too! Thank you!

@@100pureshite5 Thank you! I wish I had played it better.

@@soheylkazemi4837 Thanks! It's one of his best nocturnes I think. Good luck to you!

@@WannabeLiszt Hey thanks, Joseph! It's always been one of my favorite melodies.

@@bartoszmaniecki1806 I may do the late ones first and then hit the earlier ones. I also found my old Liszt Sonata in B minor, maybe this summer...gosh there's so much literature -- how did they keep up?

@jaelob yeah liszt sonata is great idea

Mine were the two really short preludes in A major and C minor.

I'd love to...give me time to peruse them. But I'm so eager and anxious at the moment to pursue and finish most the works of the big composers, it may be a while before I pursue other venues, jazz, etc.

@@jaelob can i email you the pdf and mp3 i just want to send one of my unreleased preludes which i think would suit your style and no problem do take you time

@Rhodesymusicofficial Thanks, sure, you see it on my description page? -- jaleb73 at hotmail

@@bartoszmaniecki1806 I recently found Chopins C minor sonata in my old books. I'd like to do Rachmaninoff concerto too, but I need a second pianist.

@jaelob i played c minor sonata on final exams in music academy

​​@@bartoszmaniecki1806OH really? That'll inspire me to start working on that! But this was so long....I need to work on short pieces again before I tackle another long one! maybe January.

Not easy for sure 😢

@K10-chopinetliszt Thank you!

Thanks 🤗

This polonaise is considered one of his darkest. But I think it sounds rather grandiose.

Actually easier than it sounds. But awfully long 😓

@@MachuPicchu-ni9mg Working on it Thanks!

Thank you!

@@kiwisq Thank you!

Thanks!

I hope I can keep it up!

Yes, I'm in a rush coz I go to sleep fast. After practicing 500 times, it tends to speed you up and feels too slow if you play it right. But the point is I'll be able to come back to these pieces fresh and perform them correctly when ready. Thanks your comment!

@jaelob any tips for op 25 number 2 your a fantastic pianist I would love to ask advice on this piece i have already learnt chopins a major prelude and his waltz in e flat b.46 I'm ready to learn an etude and I think op 25 no 2 is good for me but it's hard

@@RhodesyYT I had a student play this last year. Mostly start slow and work your way faster gradually. It should make your right hand fingers stronger.

​@jaelob Thanks very much where can I learn from you if you do online teaching?

@@Rhodesymusicofficial I've only done online teaching with one of my students during covid (but didn't like it much). Maybe I can listen to your recording (public or private) and comment. If you're near Kansas City, we could try that.

Because he quoted a line from Rossini's opera, which he watched with his fathers friend Kolberg. "Adieu à Guillaume Kolberg"

I could do better, but thanks all the same 😊

@@jaelobit was fine, great reading !

@@InefableCH Thanks! This is one of my favorites.

Yes, Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Grieg -- but never Chopin, Liszt, or Rachmaninoff concertos. I should.

@@jaelob you definitely should! I would like to hear those 🐱

Thank you!

Thanks for your comment! I am probably playing too fast and rushing and sloppy, I've been trying to be more careful with that in the past year. I've seen your videos before and thought some of the comments were so funny. I enjoy your F# polonaise, you really put emotion on that one!

@@jaelob I can relate to that lol. but what a coincidence! thank you!

​@@brunobeilkematosBeethoven once said it's not all about correct notes....you gotta get the heart in it, ha

@@Rickypickythor I believe you can with determination 😊

@ tnx

It reminds me of deFalla Ritual Fire Dance, but longer and harder.

@@user24596 Thanks so much!

I know -- still waiting to bring my second piano here.

Thanks!

@@invisible__710 I'm confused by ur comment...are you talking to me or one of the commenters? Was I criticizing?

I like how this one seems more dramatic

It's quite famous. I heard this many times when I was a kid.

@@bartoszmaniecki1806 Thanks! I don't think I have that one in my book.

I'd love to hear you. Good luck!

@@bartoszmaniecki1806 Thanks! 2 down, 14 to go.

@@artur_ferreira10 Thanks!

Thanks Mensa!

I think I'll hit the Polonaises next.

@@Thomas_shelby827 Thank you!

Thanks!! I've always liked these Mendelssohn pieces, but seems im taking them too fast now 😢
