Большое спасибо! Я с нетерпением жду вашего комментария!

Thanks for your comment. Of course you will manage it! It can be helpful looking at the score and video before you start practicing so you can gain an overall overview of the piece. If you need help, please ask!

Thanks so much! I appreciate your reply! Let me know if you need any help!

Thanks very much for your comment. You are right, at the beginning my editing skills were very poor and I only recorded the slow playing without any further help. The latest versions are hopefully more helpful and I always think about how to improve the video tutorials. I try to find a way to add a pedal marking, but I am still not sure how to do it, because the use of the pedal is quite different from slowly playing and normal speed. Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need a certain classical piano piece. All the best for you! I am glad you are here!

Thank you! That is great to hear!

You are kindly welcome! I have to say thanks! If you have any questions about this piece, feel free to contact me.

Большое спасибо за ваш комментарий. Вращение очень важно при игре на фортепиано, и его совершенно недооценивают.

Grab it! It’s really fun to play, but sometimes uncomfortable on the keyboard. Practice especially well the way between the notes!

@@pianocheckpoint Yup, currently working on it. Slooooowly.

Thanks again! I am happy you enjoyed it! Whenever you need some help, let me know!

Thanks for your reply. You are completely right. The harmonies are the foundation of every music piece, also the harmonic speed. I will insist on that also in the future! 😉

Thanks very much for your reply. I hope you could understand my wobbly English!😅

@@pianocheckpoint Hello, dear teacher! This is Andrey from Russia :) Glad to see your face. Previously, I only heard your voice. I didn’t understand your wobbly English because I don’t know English at all (just kidding) Although I studied English at school, that was almost 40 years ago. And I no longer had practice improving my English. But I'm picking up on something. So pity :(

@@user-fr4sv1hl7y Basically I am talking about that it is very important to know the chords on the piano. And also the scale up to four accidentals. The cadences on the piano up to four accidentals are also extremely important and help you to move forward if you stagnate. I also talk about practicing, which is important to avoid at the beginning as much as possible. This is extremely important if every wrong note is deeply engraved in your brain. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks very much for your kind comment! Have fun with the piece and the practicing.

Thanks so much for your reply and kind words! You made my day! Whenever you need some help, don’t hesitate to ask me.

Thanks very much for your reply. You mentioned that one a while ago and it is such an amazing piece, that I had to add it! I realized how important was the shown score in the video. In about three years Sibelius’s score go into public domain. Then it’s time to re-record it!

@@pianocheckpoint Yes, I know it is an etude and stuff, so Sibelius probably had faster tempo in his mind. But I just finished this playing along with you, with your tempo. And I can't describe the sense of accomplishment I felt. Thank you for providing such a wonderful guide.

@@keremkeskiner7727 thank you so much for your feedback! It is great that it has worked out for you , although the score isn’t shown in the video. It is so important to be able to play the pieces in this slow tempo and avoid mistakes as good as possible from the beginning!

Thanks very much for your comment. The beat is probably 60 or 61 for the 8th note. 🎵

Thanks very much for your reply and praise!

Hi I haven’t recorded yet the BWV 1056. But I will have a look at your link and see if I can get a good score or arrangement of that piece. I let you know if I found anything that is available. Thanks very much for writing me and your suggestion of the Bach.

@@pianocheckpoint Good afternoon. I have the score. Exactly the same as in the link I sent you. The only thing is that the notes are without fingering. I select and sign the fingers myself. I love Bach.

@@user-fr4sv1hl7y thanks for clarifying.

@@user-fr4sv1hl7y is that score in public domain? Or could you send it to me? Thanks!

@@pianocheckpoint Do you mean the result of my work on the Adagio BWV 974? I'll disappoint you, I didn't write it down. I can't promise I'll write it down tomorrow. But I’ll be sure to write it down and notify you. The only thing I'll do is record it on my phone.

Thank you very much for your message and your comment. This Bach Marcello is one of the older recordings I've made on this channel. And when I look back at the videos I've made, I always think that it could be done even better. I remember having a music edition back then that was not always quite correct, especially with the ornaments. I really appreciate your constructive and kind criticism. The trills are really not quite ideal - admittedly 😉. That's why I decided to re-record the whole piece and listen to some of the recordings and compare the execution of the trills. The thrillers are often done in different ways, except maybe the murder one, and somehow I have to decide on a good and justifiable version. I never thought that this would be one of the videos that people would watch the most. Another reason to go back over the books and re-record the whole thing. Thank you very much for your input. It taught me a lot again. I will also play the whole piece in tempo, but I have to expect that there will be another copyright reference. See you soon and best regards

@@pianocheckpoint Thank you very much for your detailed reply! I only just found your channel and this was the first of your videos I've watched. I'm currently learning the piece. I certainly agree trills are played very differently, and I guess that's really part of the beauty of baroque music. I'll check out some of your other content!

@@lettersquash I re-recorded the Bach Marcello. With all the ornaments and the C# in bar 24. Although the c natural sounds amazing, isn’t it? It appears at the end of the week.

Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Me alegro mucho de que te sirva de ayuda.

Your answer made me very happy! Thank you for your kind words! I am glad that it is useful! If you have any questions, please let me know!

Thank you very much for your words of praise. They are very encouraging for me and help me to continue! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

You are kindly welcome! Thanks very much for your comment! Let me know if you need any help with these polyrhythms!

Thanks very much for your reply. I am glad it is helpful!

Thank you very much. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any help!

Thanks very much!

That is great to hear! Congratulations that you could solve the problems in the bars you mentioned. Let me know if you need a specific classical piano piece!

Thanks very much for your comment! Chopin’s Etude No 3 is one of my favorite pieces and I will record it very soon. I am not sure if I should make two separate videos, one with the first part only and one with the whole piece. Let me know your opinion!

@@pianocheckpoint Yes,2 separate videos would be better....The 1st part is approachable for an intermediate pianist(I'm about grade 5),but the central part is really very demanding,and technically at a very high level(rated 10 or more by many scales)....Most of the tutorials on the web don't bother with that central part and stick to the 1st part....But maybe some upper grade learners would be grateful if you include the central part of the piece..As to me I'm awaiting your tutorial on Beethoven's Sonata n7 3rd movement,the Menuetto....

@@denyshenriquez-ohme7373 thanks for your reply. I will definitely record the Beethoven, next Friday is time for the minuet and I have already been working on it. The Chopin is also on my list. Before that I need to finish an easier Dovernoy, the Handel Passacaglia and the remix of the Bach-Marcello. I used a score with minor mistakes and they are corrected in the upcoming 2nd version. Some ornaments are missing or not correct. So, the work never stops but it is still fun.

@@pianocheckpoint OK,the program seems appetizing...Never heard of Dovernoy,unless it's Duvernoy?...As to the Handel/Halvorsen Passacaglia,there are many tutorials...Beautiful piece,I learned it on a slightly simplfied version: the left hand only plays 2 notes instead of 4,on the strong beats of the bar...It sounds just about the same as the original,but easier to perform... The Bach/Marcello adagio is beautiful,but seems endless...

@@denyshenriquez-ohme7373 of Course it’s Duvernoy! When I was young I had to play all his pieces and they are all great pieces before you play start playing Mozart and Co.

Thank you very much for your message. I wouldn't have thought that my videos could influence someone's practicing. Of course I am very pleased. I also sometimes use different fingerings for the same passages in my videos. What is written in the sheet music simply does not fit every hand. This is an important element when playing the piano. Every hand is different and needs a different fingering. There are certain rules that have been established for fingering, but everyone still has a lot of leeway on one side or the other. I am very happy if you browse through the various videos, you can also let me know if you need a specific piece.

@@pianocheckpoint Thanks for your answer...Since you ask me if I'm interested in a specific piece,in fact there is Beethoven's Sonata n°7(opus 10),in the 3rd movement,the "Menuetto"(allegro)....The score of the intro,the main theme, doesn't look difficult,but when I play,I can't make it sound like the original... The rest of the piece is very nice also,but technically more difficult,and why bother if I can't master the intro? Curiously,I haven't found a single tutorial on that piece...Lot's of demos,from various top pianists like Barenboim,Tiffany Poon,Alan Chan,and some others...Also synthesias,but without the score,it's not exploitable....So now,you've got a new challenge!!!!...

@@denyshenriquez-ohme7373 thanks for your reply and the suggestion of the Beethoven. I think I will add it on my to do list and record it as soon as possible! Challenge accepted 😅

@@pianocheckpoint OK,good idea,and I'm sure some of your regular viewers will appreciate it...🙂

Grazie mille! Se avete domande, non esitate a contattarmi in qualsiasi momento. Grazie mille per il suo feedback. Sono stato molto felice di sentirla. Divertitevi a suonare il pianoforte e buona fortuna.

Thanks so much for your thumbs up. Let me know if you need any help. I will soon re-recorded the piece and add the cursor like in the newest videos.

Je ne peux malheureusement pas non plus vous dire de quel cahier est tiré cet adagio. Je n'ai qu'un lien dans la description de la vidéo vers les notes. Je ne sais vraiment pas dans quelle collection il se trouve. Cliquez donc sur le lien et regardez les notes. Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire c'est un si beau morceau, on peut le jouer encore et encore.

Je vous remercie. J'ai retrouvé ma partition que j'avais en photocopie. Je me remets au travail pour tenter le jouer prochainement à l'orgue en mettant les flûtes. Vous êtes extraordinaire. Élisabeth

@@elizabethheriobe6428 Chère Madame Un grand merci pour votre gentille réponse. J'ai été très contente. Quand on reprend le travail sur un morceau déjà pratiqué, on peut toujours découvrir de nouvelles choses, et c'est tout simplement toujours plus et plus agréable. Si un jour vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Votre réaction m'a d'ailleurs fait beaucoup de bien. Merci encore. 😊

You are kindly welcome. Let me know if you need any help! I am glad that it is working out for you and encourages me to do more recordings.

Thanks for your comment! I hope you are doing well. Can you use the Royer?

@@pianocheckpoint Yes, thank you. I work on it with other stuff as well. And helps a lot to those who have a mind to benefit from such a tutorial,

Thanks for your kind comment. I will immediately have a look if I can find the performance you mentioned! Thanks!

Muchas gracias por su mensaje. Hágame saber si necesita ayuda u otra pieza que sea adecuada para usted. Por razones de derechos de autor casi sólo toco piezas clásicas.

Its main difficulty are the melody that should stand out and is mostly played with the thumb. And then the wide chords. Give it a try and look at it as if it is a challenge that accompanies you over a certain period of time. And don’t forget: your piano playing will benefit from this!

The day will come when you can play it. I have played many pieces that were too difficult when I was young. But it always improved my ability!

You are kindly welcome!

Thank you very much for your comment. I am very happy about this feedback. When I made this video, I was still inexperienced and hadn't thought that far ahead, or rather my video editing skills were modest. If you look at the current videos, I have taken your suggestion to heart. This is a good opportunity to revise the piece again. I am very happy about your advice. Let me know if you need a specific classical piano piece and I can see if I can record it. Here is the link to a recent new video. F. Chopin: Nocturne in E♭ Major, Op. 9 No. 2, Slow Motion Piano Tutorial th-cam.com/video/xLGTYvUvyZs/w-d-xo.html
