This piece is one I have long wanted to learn. It’s odd how it sounds so jazzy. I was hoping you would do a tutorial on this one. Thanks!

[@EasyPianoTutorials]

I love your videos!

I'm paraphrasing here, but I once read that Toscanini said that this piece's sorrow was somehow exactly in tune with his own, I feel that many people have likely had similar thoughts listening to the piece

[@karelh8858]

Such a beautiful piece. I particularly love Horowitz's version in his living room from the Last Romantic documentary, possibly the only Chopin piece where I would go to him first over the usual Rubinstein, Zimerman, Pollini etc.
I'm not quite ready for it yet but I'm delighted to see it added to the course. I'll get there eventually.

a truly otherworldly piece

Thanks Samuel!

Hi Josh, loved the piece. Was wondering if propractice would be on sale anytime soon?

[@joshwrightpiano]

Send me an email :)

Can you do a tutorial on the schuman fantasiestucke 1. Des Abends?
I think it requires unconventional stretched thumb and flat finger technique and the fundamentals I think must be very secure. Or maybe you have some cool insights to share about it?

One Chopin piece, I think, I am only hearing for the first time.

[@joshwrightpiano]

I love discovering new pieces! Hopefully I didn’t ruin this one for you 😂

[@petersnell3128]

@joshwrightpiano, not at all. The video is quite educative. Thank you

[@Berzhingue]

Wow, I’m surprised that this is the first time you’re hearing it. I have always felt (probably wrongly) like it was the Chopin mazurka that is the most played. … I agree, it’s always great discovering new pieces 😊. Great video again !
