The Basics of Forearm Rotation in Piano Technique
มุมมอง 963หลายเดือนก่อน
My take on how to learn and apply rotation to piano playing. Forearm rotation has huge potential to improve our facility at the piano while reducing muscle tension and preventing injuries. This lesson covers the most common application of rotation (notes alternating in direction) with just enough anatomy to help you learn the movement properly.

    I’m wondering if the wheel in the beginning of Chopin‘s etude op10 no4 moves clockwise or counterclockwise. Is the movement always counterclockwise if the notes go up?

    • @patrickcashinpiano
      @patrickcashinpiano 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The direction depends on which hand is playing. Right hand is always counterclockwise, left hand is always clockwise.

    Great video - food for thought when fingering any piece. That treacherous opening figure of the Haydn Eb has always challenged me. I like your alternative fingering a lot. Thank you for sharing this.

    Hi Patrick, excellent idea! ..to discuss specific bars and their fingering. I whish there would be more of this kind. For me, this could even go more into details, like finger position on the key (back, front, sideways, part of the thumb...), what comes before&after these bars, what fingerings are not obvious in slow tempo (when the piecs is to be performed in fast tempo) etc Nice, would like to see another one like this!

    When I watch your videos I realise just how bad the teaching was when I was a child. I had to become an organist because of the absolute nonsense I was taught about piano technique. I have had an amazing life with the organ but I am still unpicking the tension built into my playing by bad piano technique. So thank you very, very much.

    Hi, just found your helpful 'pinkie' video, I thought you might be more likely to see a Q here...As someone asked in the comments there, do you have tips on increaseing the power of finger 5 in a chord? e.g. a 7th or 8ave with the 3 played also? There's one in the L in Burgmuellers Arabesque that I am having eveness issues with (G/B/F) despite my repeating efforts and approaches.

    • @patrickcashinpiano
      @patrickcashinpiano หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your Q. Couple of things I can say in text form: experiment with placement of fingertips either out toward the ends of keys or in toward the fall board. In a 1-3-5 chord the 3 should be well in front of the others. And you can make the pinky "taller" by bringing it back closer to the hand.

      @@patrickcashinpiano Thanks for this Patrick, I can reach a 8th okay and even a ninth but playing a middle finger inside even a 7th is challenging but I suppose just something that comes eventually with practice, and great tips that are generously shared.
