วีดีโอ

Hi Janna. Your videos are really well done and i like your "tone". Only thing i would suggest, would be to balance the volume piano/voice. I had to lower mine a lot when you were playing, :). Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thank you so much I’m learning this right now great pointers

I’m learning this song right now

My issue is using my vision to see the whole piano

Thank you 🙏

Very good advice! 🙂

So helpful! I am not a teacher, but this is my piece for my concert! Thank you Ms. Williamson! Emma Wang

I was wondering if you would consider a "grace note", and "crushed note", and "acciaccatura" the same thing as a "short appoggiatura" since they all have the cross stroke through the stem? Or are there differences to each of these?

I am itching to play the Bach Inventions, especially this one, but you explained I have to develop my keyboard skills. I can do Prélude in C Major, and used thoroughbass and can haltingly traspose it to other keys. I did the same with Moulin de Ville Opus 100, especially the first songs La Candeur, Arabesque and La Petite Réunion. I can do them in the keys up to 3 sharps and flats, and looked at Innocense. I just started it today, and the lines look like counterpoint. I was looking for the Love button, since like seemed to be too superficial.

The key is don’t pedal trills or runs or otherwise make your music sound like you are talking with marbles in your mouth. Think of it like a painting. Don’t smear the colors.

I love this piece sooo much. It's so much fun to play, i just play it endlessly over and over and over because i cant get enough of it 😭😭😭

Thank you from an 85 year old who hadn't played in at least 25 years until I bought a small baby grand piano about 4 months ago thinking to help my newly absent short term memory. And by short term I mean SHORT!! Having tried to find the music I played in accompaniment to my late father's violin, (who died on his 100th birthday ) a couple of years ago, I probably took the sheet music of one of my nephews which is miraculously these Beethoven sonatinas among other pieces. One of my sons in law says it makes him really happy listening to me play. I'm also accompanying my nine year old grand daughter on the violin as she plays Ode to Joy; However she can't yet read music, being a student at a Waldorf School where they mandate a stringed instrument but don't teach them actually reading music until 4th grade.So she has to start over again each time she makes a mistake. Takes awhile to get through the piece. So funny. Now I'm so impressed with myself!! After all these years!!!! But you have been MOST helpful Thank you again. Especially as I began lessons at 6 in a Parochial school from a half deaf nun. In college I was told to get my foot off the pedal or the new nun was finished with me. This pedal was broken and I had to have it fixed. Now I can't even remember how I actually used the pedal !!!

Thanks for recommending the Willard Palmer book. I like it very much. My teacher loves all the info at the beginning of the book. Very interesting.

This is so terrific! Always will be a student, having no teacher since 15 and now a life time of playing unguided. This just got assigned to me by my teacher; let the learning begin on this gorgeous piece! I will refer back to your video. Thank you!

Wow❤

Helpful. I've been working on this for 2 years and find it endlessly fascinating. You've added a host of further ideas and thank you very much. By the way what is that splendid unbranded piano?

That helped alot, I was always just mindlessly playing the scales up and down, doing it in staccato and such is true exercise in concentration

Your piano sounds so good, so crisp yet rounded 😭😭

I would love a video about Robert SCHUMANN: Op. 68, No. 8, I am very glad to find your page, really learned a lot from you videos. Thank you for sharing!

I think the same way ,i find the first movment more charming, expecially the part after the beginning

Not a pianist myself, but I'm trying to buy a recording of this little piece. Any recommendations?

My favorite Mozart sonata 😍

❤❤❤

I find it really hard to play this without looking at my fingers (especially bars 3 and 4), so I have to keep looking from the score to the keyboard and back again or wait till I learn the piece off by heart (which is my usual solution, but which I'm trying to stop doing).

Thank you! I like the practice tip about putting a rest in to change dynamics.

I love this piece! Great tips...especially about tying in the theory and the voicing techniques.

Great ideas! Thank you! Love this piece and love teaching it to my students. Often this is the first piece that they think of as “fancy”. 😂🩷

invention 14 was much easier for me to learn then #13. I cant play #4 cause i cant do trills with my left hand even though im left-handed

But when playing BWV 847 she plays it twice as fast as Gould!

5/1/24 1974 my beloved birth-mate twin Stewart (age 17) played this as part of a judged audition @ Steinway Hall. I just had the cassette of it (which I received just after his death 6/18 /94), transferred to CD. I remember his practicing this nightly. You make it look so easy. I played his actual 1975 recording of op. 2 no.1 Adagio at his funeral. Sitting in my car outside the transfer shop today, I wept listening to it (7 pieces n all). Can't believe i let it sit in a box for 30 years. Am going to search for your playing the other pieces...Grieg, Schuman, Chopin Nocturne

❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I enjoyed listening to both videos. Thank you! I hope to teach this piece soon.

As an adult student preparing for the ABRSM level 2 exam I found your tips very helpful. Please consider creating more videos where you point out areas where teachers and students should be paying attention as they are practicing other ABRSM exam pieces.

Thanks for the easy to follow along explanation!

Shirmer/Buonamici also has a great edition.

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you!

Thank you, very usefull explanation.

Such a sparkling introduction to this piece! Love your insights for this nostalgic piece!

Nice chord progression

I'm searching everywhere: did anybody notice that in 24th bar the time signature really changes to 3/8 or 6/16? I had problems with analysing the melody logically, but if you group it by six sixteenths under one beam (three eighths in left hand), suddenly it becomes perfectly logical regarding to accents 🙂 Best regards from Poland!

Thanks for posting this! 🙂

Wonderful lesson. You have a lovely communication style and play beautifully. I lecture in composition and performance at the University of Winchester in the UK. When teaching anything I also like to block out the chords as you do, and also explore the harmonic progression and cadences, such as the II V I Am7 D7 G cadence at 7:07, which I find helps to make sense of the music for the students and aids memorisation. So glad that the algorithm brought me to your channel. My MA is in Jazz, so I also like working from figured bass and partimento for improvisation.

You’re such an awesome teacher. I feel like this channel is about blow up
