Hello! greetings. Question: What is the difference between the P-515 and the P-525? Sorry, my English is very basic...thank you very much.

Excellent information. Thank you.

Wow! So much dedication and passion!

Great video! USB audio interface?

Hi Daria! Thank you so much for review! Could you send your settings for CFX and Bosendorfer? I have also CLP 745 but think voice of your piano is much more beautyfully than my. thank you in advance! Cheers from Poland!

Thank you Daria. I love your lessons, as an adult beginner. Learning to play with the right articulation and technic from the beginning is very important. You are right - it’s not as glamorous and may seem boring - but this what it takes to play fluidly and injury free. Thank you very much for your very important lessons!!! 🤍🖤

Thank you so much for the detailed information 🎉

This cantabile playing makes the piano disappear, and I only hear a singing harp! Magical!

Hi Daria am very happy to fall on one of your video and I play since I was a kid am and intermediate and I wish to know all this exercise before I start playing piano with my old bad habit..those who play knows the important of a good way of start playing piano for long term..thanks you so much..

I noticed a noticeable difference when I started practicing arpeggiated chords on my guitar, im learning piano now, cant wait to learn

I wish you recorded your wonderful performances in midi files …. I’d love to listen back to your performances playing back on Acoustic Player Pianos ..: Yamaha Disklavier … &/or other(s) 🙏🏽🤗❤️🎹

You should try Pianoteq8. It will transform your playing experience

I'm a newbie. Thanks for this. Very foundational. I've already developed some bad habits that this video will help me to correct. The exercises, in particular, are worth the watch.

Thank you very much your content is just amazing ❤ Could you make a video about how to express music through the piano? how our touch can influence the sound we are making?. You mentioned that on your video and I am super interested on understanding how we can create emotion through our touch .

Hey Daria! What acoustic piano would you recommend for an adult beginner? I certainly don’t have money for a grand piano right now. I think an upright is the one that I can afford at the moment. It should not be too expensive but must have a good action. I am looking to buy something that can prepare me till at least an intermediate level. Can you help? Thanks!

I cannot keep my pinkies down. Advice?

What an amazing lesson on arpeggios! It almost immediately helps with my bumpy playing and heavy thumbs, although it would take much longer to really get there. Here is a lengthy question that may be worth touched in a future video: As you just mentioned, it is necessary (and feasible) to always keep hands and fingers aligned to the keys. Ideally, forearms should align with hands too, so that wrists are in the most comfortable position. However, there are cases when the forearms cannot align with hands. An example is when two hands are playing close to each other (e.g., Bach Prelude in C major), which makes it physically impossible to align both forearms with the hands, since there is a limit to move elbows towards torso. In that case, should I still keep both hands (and fingers) aligned with the keys, and move the torso toward one side. so that the hand that plays more notes (or doing a more challenging job) can have the forearm-hand alignment, while the other hand has to tolerate the discomfort at wrist?

Thanks for the sharing! It seems that the micro-movement is a solution for the nuanced case when we want to save the macro-movements til the end of a phrase/long slur?

The digital piano is one more VERSCHLIMMBESSERUNG, attained by modern mind. Let the digital piano to poprockers and their amusical public.

Sharing the knowledge of the great Russian piano tradition….to the entire world. Thank you….have just purchased the Fundamentals Book that you recommended…..

Very generous of you to give all of us these valuable lessons. I am a beginner and will practice these technique.Thank you USA.

Thank you for sharing the brief and detailed ones on wrist motions! This lesson is so helpful on designing proper motions for phrases in different pieces! I would wish to learn this one earlier, so that I can improve sounds and micro-phrasing with both consciousness and subconsciousness.

I found you while figuring out how to rebuild my CLP-920. I love classical as well as Rock, Blues and Jazz. You are definitely one great performer,. Best of luck. Love your playing. Keep working at it and maybe you will find your way. This video is a good bounce,, build on it!

Wow! Absolutely amazing. Thanks so very much!!

Hi Daria, Thank you for the review. I am a beginner advanced piano player. I started with a P125, then I upgraded to a P515. I would like to ask: Is it possible to play with P515, or CLP745 with full arm weight? If I don’t use this technique, then the action of the P515 might be too heavy for me. I also am learning that by using the full arm weight, 1) it is easer to play softer with the left hand and lauder with the right hand. 2) the sound quality is better than the shallow playing. 3) the wrists do not hurt and 4) i can play with better expression. I was advised ( not from Yamaha but from a pianist) not to use full arm weight when playing a keyboard regardless of the brand or the model, because the sensors will crash. The only exception will be on hybrid pianos or acoustic pianos. May I please have your recommendations/ suggestions? Thank you Maurice

Wonderful interpretation and control :) I also agree this old Steinway sounds great! I figured it might be an old one based on how good the sustain is. I'm not a huge fan of most Steinways anymore since I've learned more about pianos, but they were objectively one of the best around the turn of the last century. WOW, I had to come back towards the end to update. The way you pulled back after the Triumphant E flat major section coming back down to the haunting reiteration of the first theme D minor was absolutely breathtaking!! At 6:35! I don't think I've ever heard anyone play that part so beautifully. I learned this piece a year or two ago, I'm going to try it that way right now! I just have to confirm this by saying I just went and listened to 5 of the most renowned concert pianists in the world and not a SINGLE one of them made that moment as precious as you did, they all flew right past it. WELL DONE!! If you're curious, those five were Seong-Jin Cho, Yundi Li, Krystian Zimmerman, Yuja Wang, and Garrick Ohlsson. The only one who came close was Yuja Wang.

Hi there, I'm really struggling to decide which digital piano with weighted keys to choose. I'm particularly interested in getting the best Rhodes, Suitcase, funk, and melancholic sounds. However, it seems like neither the Roland FP-60X nor the Yamaha P-515 are particularly strong in the Rhodes department. So, is there another brand or model that truly excels in these types of sounds while still having weighted keys? Any advice on a digital piano that would allow one to really enjoy those classic Rhodes tones? Alternatively, should I just connect either of these two models to my MacBook with Logic Pro to access higher-quality Rhodes sounds? And if I do that, is it possible to save those Rhodes sounds directly to the keyboard, so I'm not always dependent on the Logic Pro/computer connection in the future? How would that setup work effectively? Thanks for your help!

I've had mine 5 years and it finally needs a cleaning and maintenance (D2 is way louder than the other keys).

Thank you for this beautiful performance, Chopin is very/too difficult for me, otherwise on my p515 I prefer the sound of the Bosendorfer I can't get used to the CFX too bright and dry, otherwise I use two Yamaha HS8 speakers which work quite well provided you make some adjustments on the p515, for example the "Reverb Depth" at 45 and other settings like "Brightness" at 2 etc. Otherwise it's not a criticism but (sorry) I think you could improve the sound recording which is not great, it's a tribute because you play very well.

Gentile Daria, saluti dal Teatro alla Scala di Milano. 😊

Invaluable lesson on technique. Excellent. Thank you 🙏

This is so helpful! I’ve been looking for the information about hand position and this is very comprehensive!

Great information

What thr hell is that ????? Amazing. Never seen such level of piano playing on a digital piano. This should be THE absolute marketing video for this piano. If you can play so well Chopin’s etude i say bravo to both the piano and the pianist.

Hi, Daria. I follow your lessons from Italy. I really thank you for your clearance, precision in technique explanation and from the moment I apply daily your lessons in every tachnique I get really great progress in playing piano. Thanks so much again!...Mario. 😊😊

I was wondering if you might have anything on arpeggios? I can’t seem to get rid of the hop in my right hand when ascending. Thank you for your helpful videos. 😊

I have always had tension with octaves. Thank you for posting.

Please give me your address For tutorial

Thanks, beautiful

Thank you! 🙏

My fingers thank you very much again. You are always THE piano event for my practise😊❤

My favorite TH-camr 😊. Great Video.

1:34 I wish someone would think of a way to instruct older very arthritic piano students. My elbows and wrists sound like maracas.

Great video. Lotta info. I will say this. If you were my teacher, I would be so distracted by your beauty that I don’t think I could learn anything. I would be happy just sitting next to you on the bench. Sorry. I’m just stunned.

Your playing is heartbreaking, and has gone so far from where language ends. The interpretation is full of emotional depth, and every rubato is taking my breath away.

Hi Daria! I am really amazed by this tremendous energy in your playing! The sound you can get out of this Memorial Union piano whose keys feel quite loose (not sure if it can make the playing easier or harder), compared to some of those good practice room pianos. You must be great at adjusting to different pianos, and I wonder if you will be willing to share your secret weapon on that at TH-cam. I also really admire your professional endurance of keeping improving on a hard piece for years! Incredible!

Absolut super and profound teacher! If I would have had such a teacher in former times ...

❤

Enjoyed it! Thanks for posting!

I am looking for away to play and practice the right with the right knowledge without any tension in my body. Could you help me.
