Voicing | Scriabin Nocturne for the Left Hand
มุมมอง 7678 หลายเดือนก่อน
Voicing is difficult on the piano. It requires complete independence of the two hands and many hours of practicing to project the melody effortlessly. It's even harder when it's just one hand trying to do 5 different things like in this piece by Scriabin. In this episode, I give you 5 ideas related to voicing while going through Nocturne, Op.9 No.2 by Scriabin. Thank you for watching!

I am depressed. I was making a video on this piece, and the entire file with hours of editing just disappeared on me with an external hard drive fail. At least I have a recording of this run through to post today. I will make a new tutorial video (on voicing with just one hand) and post it next week. Thank you so much for watching.

I actually dont think this piece is extremely difficult (but yes it definately belongs in the «hard»-territory). I honestly think a piece like Un Sospiro (Consert Etüde nr.3) of Lizt is much more difficult (I play both)The most difficult part of Fantasia Impromptu is that polyrhythm, but as soon as you manage to master that rythm during the first 5 bars, you`re pretty much set to go for the rest of the piece. Happy practicing.😊
14:58 this is the issue I have and I'm so scared that I might cause injury to my wrist.
I try not to take any notes with the left hand because that's just not the point of the etude - but sometimes I do it in the very last couple of bars as by then I think I've worked enough 😂
This is fantastic!
Excellent!. Thanks.
I love piano, but I don't like neither Classical nor Jazz is there another path to become really good at the instrument that do not involve these two genres?
I love that you don't hold back with the sustain pedal, let the sounds mix despite the dissonances, and you make these melt together in an aural way, hence the name of "aurora" as alternative title for the sonata
And just after writing this, you explained the same concept 😂
18:12 any tension is very good said. Experience shows that most students struggle to understand correctly what tension-free playing is, but they instead play with weak fingers, not enough articulation, not enough weight, disconnected fingers from wrist-shoulder... Amazing tutorial to be honest ❤
Ok, ma non è affatto facile...
imo the first 8 bars are the hardest. that thumb and index finger chromatic gives me a run for my money lol
I just chanced upon your channel and found some of your instructional content to be really insightful. Currently trying to pick up piano again after a 10+ years hiatus, and I'm not sure how should I structure my practice. Some of the questions I often ask myself: 1) Should I be practicing more scales/arpeggios or expand my repertoire? 2) How difficult should a new piece be? How do I know if I'm ready to pick up this particular piece? I saw that you have listed pre-requisites for this video and I thought it would be great if you could do it for all videos in the future! Looking forward to more of your teaching content!
❤
I’m having trouble with the ending arpeggios
🎉
Even without mentioning this piece in particular, this video had so many useful general tips and little nuggets of information! Thank you for your help and advice. this was great 💙
Wow
6:20 Isn’t the elliptical movement (the shaping) in the left hand supposed to be clockwise and not counter clockwise? I thought it’s always clockwise and in right hand the shaping is counterclockwise.
Very helpful and informative
Please make more of these videos its so helpful. I'm so grateful thanks <3
This is such a great piece of music and so beautifully played Jeewon. You make it look so easy and we all know it isn't! :) Best Regards.
I'm relearning this after 15 years. This is an excellent video. 10/10.
Good tips, thank you ❤
I like the idea of choosing a particular fingering for musical reasons. Also the idea of relaxed motion is very important, as you point out. Preparation of motion is equally important. Your lessons are super. There are very few piano teachers as good as you.
One thing you didn't mention is going after the passage very slowly. I try to play through passages like this in a very musical manner at a very slow relaxed tempo where any sense of urgency is eliminated.
Another thing not mention is this development takes a significant amount of practice over probably many months, unless you are an exceptionally good pianist already. It takes time for a piece to settle in.
This is really valueable lessons for us to learn for free! Thank you so much for doing this ❤
Can you do liebestraum no 3 next ❤
Wonderful approach...thank you!
GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU FOR SHARING !!!
What do you mean with infamous??!
I meant it is known for being difficult - Notoriously difficult
I’m afraid if attempted this piece, the singing style would be more like Tom Waits!
Hii! I have a PROBLEM!! My little finger ALWAYS goes up when I play piano. And I don’t know how to stop that.😭 When I take part in competitions, the jury always criticize my little finger. Do you have any TIPS für me? 🥺✨🎹
You give the impression that it is possible to do it. You seem to say: If I succeed why not you?
Thank you.
Thank you, I got to perform these piece and improved from your advice.
@@ajksworld3153 amazing!
One of the most beautiful pieces of German romanicism. Schumann as seen by Franz Liszt and played by a wonderful pianist. Thanks a lot.
Thank you
Chopin would have loved this play. It is a wonderful illustration of his ‚facilement, facilement‘ (=easily). Everything sounds natural, the middle section being a model of ‚noblesse and goût‘ (=nobility and taste). Great teaching full of the awareness of the pupils‘ difficulties and the most natural, psychological and physical remedies to overcome them. Thanks a lot.
can you do guidance on liebestraum no 3, i really love your guides and really appreciate the free content you make here
Inspiring! Thank you
Could you please do Liebestraum No. 3 by Franz Liszt?
Yes! It’s been on my mind for months. I will take action soon!

Dra. Jeeyon Lee, You are outstanding, both as a Pianist and as a Teacher. I admire your work, very much. Congratulations. A Portuguese retired Piano Teacher José Augusto Reis
I've been studying this piece on and off for years, and this was very helpful with some of the practice techniques, and practical techniques
“Takes years to be comfortable to play” for me and maybe others, takes a few days. I taught myself, I GOT THAT PIANO GLAM. But yea. for example I learnt nocturnes op.9 no.2 in E-flat major, and took me a few days to get comfortable to play moonlight sonata 3rd movement. Not to brag
excellent speed.
Revisiting this video.. I must say that, even if you do narrow it down, you don’t know what you’re getting until you get into a lesson. I had narrowed things down to everything you had said up to 8:42 this teacher had all the credentials, was a beautiful performer but that didn’t make this person a good teacher. In fact, a year later, I still reverberate from questionable lessons that had double meanings that left me speechless. I have avoided lessons ever since even though I know I need somebody desperately in order to advance. All I can say to anybody looking for a teacher is to listen to your intuition in the end, the sooner the better.
Great. The bass notes left hand in bar 226 I’ve never heard so far. What is your pedaling in bar 220~223?
It's not even april😭😭
Here’s one of the easiest parts of la Campanella, but made unnecessarily difficult because of bad fingering.
Fantastic tips for high-level amateurs and even pros! Should apply them also to your own left hand playing octaves or you’ll end up on the surgery table like Lang Lang who had your same tension in the left hand!
Thx for the help
world class beautiful. Almost as beautiful as you
