Merci beaucoup pour votre message. Au départ, je n'ai pas joué le morceau à partir de trois lignes, mais de deux. Au début, j'ai eu du mal avec les trois lignes et j'ai dû recommencer comme si de rien n'était. J'ai constamment pris de vieilles habitudes. Il faudra sans doute encore un peu de temps avant que celles-ci ne soient plus gênantes.

Vielen Dank!

@@exzith thanks for your reply. Of, course, you are right! Such a silly mistake!🤪 I always have to take care not to make these mistakes! English is not so easy to speak!😉. Can you imagine how many times I have already made the same kind of mistake and then had to re-record the video? But it’s getting better and better. 😊

@pianocheckpoint Thank you for your message. Learning a lot from your channel. Keep up the good work!

@@landabourounadia1962 merci beaucoup. Laissez-moi savoir quand je peux vous aider !

@@binglim1 thank you very much for your reply. I am glad it’s helpful to you!

@@genevievemuller4877 Répéter encore et encore, c'est certainement une bonne chose. Cette vidéo doit aussi être un peu amusante. Une sorte de défi où l'on peut aussi s'amuser. Merci beaucoup pour votre message.

Thanks so much for your comment. Please let me know if you have any questions about practicing this piece. Having much relaxation during playing this piece is very very important! Have fun while playing.

@@michaelfresch3702 vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Nachricht (und auch für Ihre Unterstützung via Paypal 😊). Ich würde gerne auch die Noten mit dem Fingersatz zum Download freigeben, aber irgendwie sind diese von Goodnotes immer verschoben angezeigt, wenn ich das PDF exportiere. Bei wenigen Fingersätzen klappt es oftmals, aber hier leider nicht. Wenn ich Ihnen irgendwie helfen kann, lassen Sie es mich bitte wissen. Vielleicht haben Sie ja auch einen Wunsch, der noch nicht auf der Repertoire Liste ist?

@@roadguide123 I count the eight notes in this 3/8 bar type. The eight note is the beat. It’s similar to a 3/4 bar type where we count the quarter notes. (There the quarter note is the beat). In this scenario the first note is a dotted eight note. That means you have 1 1/2 beats. Then the 16th note is 1/2 beat and the next note is a eight note again. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions. I will do a short video where I will explain the counting in this piece!

@ thanks for replying… I’m confused because I thought the dotted note should be counted as 3 beats. If it’s one and half it should be 16th. Thanks again

@ the dotted eight note has three 16th notes in it. The whole bar has six 16th notes. Three for the dotted eight note, one for the 16th note and two for the eighth note.

Is this because there is a bar connected to it?

@@roadguide123 in this piece you have a 3/8 bar type. The 3/8 is like an order, that there has to be the value of three eight notes in each bar. Not more and not less. You can compare a bar with your trousers pocket: in this case you have to have for example three dollars in your pocket. But you have not only one dollar coins, you can of course have different coins of different values. But all together they have to be exactly three dollars. Do you know what I mean? Please ask if it’s not clear enough.

@@Hassan6me did you see the gondola songs? Thanks very much for your comment! I am preparing two more Mendelssohn songs without words and they will appear soon! 😊

@@АндрейЗорин-е7г hi Andrey. Thanks for reaching me! Here the pedal is quite easy to use because of the clear changes in harmonies. I think a short video from the side showing the pedal would be helpful for many people, wouldn’t it? Best wishes and it’s always great to hear from you!

@@pianocheckpoint Good evening, Toni. Yes, the pedal video is a good idea! Useful. Toni, you will soon have a movie studio, video cameras everywhere :)

@ Hi Andrej I uploaded a video with the pedaling of the Mendelssohn and unfortunately it has some copyright restrictions and I have to wait 1 month till it’s not blocked anymore. So I will upload something else 😅

@@j2000rocks thank you very much! Please let me know if you need any help in playing the piano or learning piano pieces!

@@genevievemuller4877 Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire. Parfois, dans ce tempo lent, on entend toujours de nouvelles notes et de nouveaux sons, que l'on peut alors percevoir plus consciemment et intégrer ainsi au tempo.

@@kitcooks hi thanks for your comment. Maybe playing in double speed would make the counting more comfortable?😉

@ maybe don’t count and have a metronome or don’t have either 🤷‍♀️

@ many find it helpful. There are some videos with the metronome, of course. It’s a tutorial for different people, some have a teacher, some not. Honestly I can imagine that the counting can be annoying. 😉 On the other hand it’s an important thing. And fortunately there are some videos with no counting at all. But in this Bach Marcello it makes sense because of the 32th notes. Anyway, I hope some of the other videos are more useful for you!

@@pianocheckpointor maybe count less loud. 😉

@ thanks for your appreciated opinion. I will surely think about it!

@@Bbarfo thank you for your message! Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance! Have a great time!

Thanks very much, Ravi. I hope you are doing well again!

Merci beaucoup pour le message. J'ai toujours aimé jouer ce morceau, il a de si beaux accords et de si belles sonorités qu'on ne peut que les apprécier.

@@genevievemuller4877 Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Oui, il y a vraiment quelque chose de mélancolique dans ce morceau. Il me rappelle les chansons populaires suisses. J'ai composé moi-même un autre morceau similaire, qui me rappelle une chanson populaire très connue, qui m'émeut beaucoup à chaque fois. Quand je l'entends. Avez-vous aussi des problèmes avec votre bras lorsque vous jouez des morceaux ?

@pianocheckpoint cela dépend des morceaux. Avant Noël, j'avais déchiffré BWV 930. Tout allait bien, mais quand j'ai travaillé la mesure 11 ( mordants et trilles ), mon bras s'est bloqué. Depuis, je ne peux plus jouer ( trop douloureux). Un autre exemple : Gurlitt : le voyage de nuit ( morceau facile pourtant ). Impossible pour moi de jouer les accords main droite. À la main gauche, le problème est différent : je ne peux pas jouer ( par exemple ) la valse en lam de Chopin ou celle de Schubert : je ne peux pas aller jouer basse et revenir pour faire l'accord. Et il y aurait tant d'autres exemples. Mais tant pis : je joue des pièces très simples où mes bras ( et donc mon dos ) sont moins sollicités, et je me fais plaisir en écoutant les autres jouer

@@jennymeunier7952 Merci beaucoup pour votre message. Dans ma recherche de différents morceaux qui se trouvent aussi un peu en dehors du maintream, je tombe régulièrement sur de telles petites perles. Au fond, ce morceau fait aussi presque partie de la playlist avec "hidden gems". Je suis contente que cela vous plaise. Si vous trouvez quelque chose que vous aimeriez enregistrer, faites-le moi savoir et aussi si vous avez besoin d'un peu de soutien et d'aide. Je suis content que vous soyez là.

@pianocheckpoint merci beaucoup !

You’re welcome! I’m happy to help with your piano practice. Please let me know if you need any assistance.

Thank you for your Message!

Many of his pieces show some similarities. Have fun with this piece. Please let me know if you need any help.

@@pianocheckpoint Thank you very much! Very nice!

Une bonne possibilité consiste à s'entraîner à répéter le morceau de l'arrière vers l'avant. Commencer par la dernière mesure, puis les deux dernières mesures, etc. Cela aide beaucoup à apprendre le morceau entier par cœur. Merci pour votre reponse!

Thank you very much for your helpful feedback! My goal is to make my thoughts clear and understandable, even through a video.

@@pianocheckpoint Toni, hello! As always, charming! When do you have time to learn new pieces? And you still have to record them and post them and respond to comments. If I'm not mistaken, you are a teacher at the university? Yours Andrey :)

@ hi Andrey Thank you very much for your reply. I am a very good sight reader and pieces like this Bach for example can be recorded very easily and quickly. The most work is finding a fingering that works well in speed and sometimes is not so practical in the slow motion speed. When I come across a new piece I am able to recognize immediately its harmonical structure and this makes things very easy. As an example: this piece is in G minor, so there will be surely many of the chords that are in this key, but also the chords of b flat major. That’s is why recognizing chords is so useful and should be practiced as much as reading notes. I am working as a piano teacher in a music school near Lucerne. I have an education in piano teaching and a concert diploma. I am also working as a piano technician, freelancer. The time for the videos is mostly during my spare time.

@@pianocheckpoint Toni, now everything is clear. You are a professional. :)

Dans cette vidéo, je ne montre qu'une solution possible pour trouver rapidement et facilement la tonalité mineure relative d'une tonalité majeure donnée. Par exemple, do majeur a le même signe que la mineur. Ou bien le ré majeur a le même signe que le si mineur. Comme on rencontre surtout la tonalité harmonique mineure dans la musique classique, je montre aussi justement la septième note augmentée, qui est typique de la tonalité harmonique mineure. C'est toujours un plaisir de vous lire et d'avoir de vos nouvelles.

@@christian_mainusch thank you very much! Let me know if you need any assistance.

@ Thank you! I have just started to upload my recordings on my channel 😇

@ that is great to hear. Will look at your channel

You're very welcome - I'm happy to help! Please let me know if you have any questions! I will be happy to help you!!

Hello dear Toni... Starting to share the scores with fingerings is an immense help for people, especially for those who work and practice without a teacher and for late beginners like me. Sometimes trying to figure out the fingerings may be tedious work and we lose valuable practice time. And a special thanks for this piece, because I like it very much and wanted to play it for some time.

@@keremkeskiner7727I can imagine that it is helpful. I have thought about this for a longer time but never did it. Someone asked for it a few weeks ago and I started to implement it. Another slight improvement, but also quite a bunch of additional work to do. But it is good for practicing, too. In the end it is a win win situation for the listener and me.

Thank you for your comment! I hope it will help you playing this lovely piano piece!

Thank you very much for your comment. It's always very pleasing to read from you!

Hello Kerim I was very happy to read your short message! This was a piece on request and it's great getting to know more pieces I have never heard before! I hope everything is doing well at yours!
