Voicing | Scriabin Nocturne for the Left Hand
มุมมอง 6524 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.

Thank you. Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing very useful advice.
Beautiful, crystal clear playing, and I don't hear any missed notes at all. This coda is my favorite in piano literature, and the main reason why I learned how to play this beautiful Ballade (not nearly as well as you).
Wrist rotation is a misnomer as your wrist can’t rotate. It’s the arm that rotates in particular the forearm
Now that I think about it, you are totally right!We should call it quasi circular drawing motion of the wrist.
@@JeewonLeepiano love your content btw
Thank u for this video! really helpful!
Thanks very much for your tips
Wow wie schnell sie spielen können, Ein schönes und schweres Melodie haben Sie sich da ausgesucht. Zugabe Zugabe Seonsaengnim Jeewon 👏🏻💐🧡🙆🏻♀️🙌🏻😊👍🏻✨🤍 Hat mir echt sehr gut gefallen das Konzert Vielen herzlichen Dank 🙏🏻
Incroyable c'est magnifique😊
Love this work of music. Im sure so fun to play. Interesting, Classical found jazz...or did jazz find Classical Lol. Either way a Delightful Performance by this Artist Pianist here.
😌😌😌
How so clear 😌😌
Dr Lee, You are outstanding, both as a Pianist and as a Teacher. Congratulations for all your work. A retired Piano Teacher, José Augusto Reis.
Years ago, I abandoned ship on this ballade a few months before my senior recital and switched over to the 3rd ballade. Found it to be more attainable at the time.
Very nice expressive playing!
Nice tips ! Thanks !
Thank you for the advice! I found your channel a few days ago, and although I see that most of your videos are aimed at more experienced pianists, I will continue to follow them because they are high-quality content. I've also benefited from some of them, including this video. Additionally, listening to you gives me a very similar feeling to when I’m in a lesson with my piano teacher. :)
You have such a wonderful way of verbalizing these concepts in a way that make sense to me. Yet another great video. I'm still working on Chopin 25 #1 from that video you did. Slowly but surely I'm making real progress. To my delight everyday I sit down it flows easier than the day before. Thanks Jeewon so much.

Excellent in helpfulness❤ as I am learning this now. Thank yoy❤
Just found you. Your videos are the best I've seen as far as getting into detail. It's like having a teacher.
Annyonghaseyo Seonsaengnim Ich finde ihre Videos sehr interessant und auch hilfreich Da ich immer wieder mal Probleme mit dem Rhythmus habe und öfters mal Schwierigkeiten von langsam auf schnell zu wechseln helfen mir ihre Videos sehr, Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihren Geduld Gomawoyo seonsaengnim Annyongikeseyo 🙏🏻👍🏻🙆🏻♀️👏🏻🌸
THANK YOUUUU i’m struggling a lot with coordinating both hands but you gave me a way out thank youuuu ❤
I've been playing for decades + classically trained and this is one of my favorite breakdowns of it :) You remind me of my favorite teacher when I was in high school who was also a college instructor!
Awesome video. Very informative and perfect for all students including myself!
Excellent annunciation of the brain’s thought through the piece. Mine was very similar. imo better interpretation than most professionals. I prefer moderate pedal in the part “without” it if done right
Seonsaengnim meu gamsahamnida für den tollen Tipp Gomawoyo für die wunderschöne Videos Annyongikeseyo 🙏🏻🙆🏻♀️

Ravel has been influenced by Spanish music (Jota and Flamenco)… a lot.
She makes me want to go practice 😭
My daughter is working on this one, so difficult
I Love Scriabin Sonata 5, my favourite piece, which U played with a lot of Attention, great technique, Professional voicing and elegance!
Sadly, like many FI tutorials, there is waaaay to much excess verbiage in the beginning. Then there is the obligatory performance of the FI-we’ve heard it a million times. Then there are hands separate- they all pull that one. Then there is the individual bar breakdowns. There is unnecessary verbiage like “sextuplet.” Anyone can play hands separately. I find none of these tutorials help combine the two hands in polyrhythms up to speed. Playing 4 against 3 is the challenge that defeats all but the most stubborn pianists. Anyone can play hands separate. Meanwhile minutes have gone by, and you’re not conquering the polyrhythms up to speed. Then there’s the obligatory “let go of tension” comment. Then there are useless instructions about elbows, and wrist movements. Anyone can play the B section. That is not what we need a tutorial on!!! I have yet to find a good tutorial in the big challenge of the piece: the A section polyrhythm up to speed. She means well, but it’s not helpful.
I've never had someone give me pointers that train me how to sightread better/posturing; fixing up fundamentals was something i haven't considered yet! gamechanger!!!
Wonderful! I love your emphasis on the singing and not the mathematics. Also, you added a kind comment on the importance of understanding rubato. I have heard very famous pianists playing Chopin with excessive decelerondo and accelerando masquerading as rubato. I think of the Tommy Dorsey big band keeping the strict metronomic beat while Frank Sinatra is all over the place with the melody being in and out of the pulse. I am very impressed with your teaching style. Emphasis on the movement of the hand and the relaxation of the fingers. Piano playing should never get too far away from singing and dancing. And lastly a great approach to the practice of the Fantaisie that accurately describes it as achievable. Practice hands separate, feel the pulse, and then let go. Let your heart hear the beautiful singing. Piano playing in general and Chopin in particular is my life's second most favorite passion. I wish you were my teacher. Thank you. John Hertenstein
"🎹❤️⚘️Music discovery. I was listening but when I looked over to the screen I saw it was a left hand work!! Pretty amazed I didn't even notice till then. Your left hand so connected and flowing. Beautiful Performance and Work of art.
"🎹❤️⚘️I think what made me say Wow and laugh is when you said "Your eyes won't be playing the music.." Lol that's me.. my muscle memory eventually telling me it's OK not to be glued to the score. Really revealing but knew it deep down. Very interesting and informative video lesson.
"🎹❤️⚘️Amazing Playing and oh So funny real world insider comments as you play."
Even as a mid beginner I picked up many helpful tips for developing good habits. Thank you.
🎹❤️⚘️I Love Piano and always enjoy Your intelligent and interesting videos. Thank you!
Hope to hear from u soon again!!😀
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for your very helpful instructions! This is one of my favorite pieces that i am challenging myself to learn. You have a very gentle and polished way of sharing the details. I so much appreciate the time and effort you out into this video! Also, you play it so beautifuly and effortlessly. Looking forward to learning this, finally.
Been a pianist for 7 years, found this piece about a year or two ago and have been wanting to learn it. Been putting it off til now, but I think I'm ready to go for it! Thank you for your insightful video!
Alignment with the little finger can be challenging at times. Thanks for this video
Believe it or not it's extremely difficult to find a good teacher for a child with a lot of natural talent, particularly if you are looking for someone who can actually play jazz. Miles Davis said he could recognize a good jazz player by just looking at how they dressed. The difficulty is finding someone who is able to work with talent rather than just putting the student on a book of pattern drills. It was really hard to find a teacher for my son, because he is a natural ear player. Changing disciplines, but related, I had problems finding a horsemanship instructor who could connect to me. Luckily, I found a gal who is a barrel racer, and had been around horses since she 6 years old. She owns two barrel racing horses that she trained, plus she has a degree in equine science. She was able to deal with my personality very effectively as she is not offended when I questioned her in regards to certain topics, because she's an extremely good rider and excellent communicator. I was able to work with her horse named Zippy who was extremely responsive. When it comes to horsemanship, the horse teaches the human., but it obviously helps to have human who can guide you properly in communicating with a horse. As for music, the student has to be willing to do the work as musicianship is an extremely difficult skill to master. I absolutely favor someone who teaches through repertoire and not endless technical exercises that don't develop a true sense of musicality. If a student has talent, it's more a matter of mentoring. I don't think you can teach musicianship if you haven't mastered it yourself.
