It took me hundreds of hours of practice, dedication and commitment; but after weeks of tears and frustration I have finally downloaded the sheet music for this piece.
Lol you diasppointed me (i know it is a joke)
Lol XD
Did you succeed (again? 😀)
That actually made me laugh
wow are you me
Love this concept! Almost like a different piece at this speed. Gonna have to check out more of your stuff
Daniel Thrasher how come you have no likes or comments (except from me)
ykw they say about a different piece it aint familiah
Daniel I love you 😂
@@Mit2uba. no
@@tyrone8867 lol why not he's awesome
If you can play it slow then you can play it fast
Nope.
If you can play it slowly then you can play it quickly
Omg you watched too
It's true. It's all about to figure out how to play this "4 to 3" rhythm. If you did, it's only a matter of practice to speed it up. This piece is really not that hard to play with only one hand at high speed. The rhythm is the thing that makes this piece as difficult as it actually is.
Lingling 40 hours!
this is legit how u should practice sometimes though
I think this was made for people who need to practice
You slow down to practice but no way for the entire piece
YES, leaving the joke aside, playing at half tempo makes you realize so many bad habits. I used to just touch notes when they were 32ths or 63ths in relatively fast pieces and only realized this was the case when I started to practice them at half or 2/3rd of the speed. It also helps get specific chord progressions in mind and muscle memory better
I know right! This inspires me a lot. all this time i haven't been patient enough to learn it from slower tempo, but this assures me more
I tell my students to practice slowly like this because it forces them to play evenly and at a steady tempo. When they fly through songs like this they skip over notes and can never identify where they need work
i will learn this one day
hello from the future!
Have you learned it yet?
Another beginner here.
I will learn this one day.
Not yet, but I played some of it just a few minutes ago. I will still learn it one day! :D
C0nstellati0ns lol
C0nstellati0ns you can do it man ! :D
I swear this sounds somehow even better at half speed. Full speed is imressive af, but at half speed you can actually hear the real details
bailuli a lot of classical-romantic music goes over ur head unless you have played it yourself or you have sheet music to look at. Because it’s a bit fast. That’s why it’s good to play an instrument yourself. You get a way better understanding of the music
I agree!
Maybe our modern view of classic and romantic tempos is not accurate to the historic tempos.

Mr Chopin must be very good at maths :D
I don’t think you know what an improper fraction is
This like
Fantaise Slowmotion
I hate improper fractions!!!
Piano teacher: "hey I think you're ready to learn that famous Chopin piece."
8 yo student: "oh I know that one! It's called Fractions Improper, right?"
Teacher: "…ya, sounds about right"
this song sounds beautiful even at half speed
I agree!

Little does anybody realize how hard it is to play this at this slow of a speed. Much more counting and concentration. Much respect for this man.
No respect for him as I completely destroy left hand rythme
idk about the counting, but yes, if you can play this piece quickly, it will be pretty hard to play it slowly again
@@trebleclef9844 ye cuz my fingers just wanna go sonic
@@trebleclef9844 Every piece is like that sometimes
Well yes but actually no.
Since I finished learning it yesterday, I need to practice it to learn it without mistakes, so I play it slow, and get faster
Omg this is so helpful compared to those lame synthesia things
Scott Wong So true Man.
combine this with synthesia as the upper half of the screen and it's the ultimate tutorial vid
Scott Wong all about that fingering
same thing i learnedthis with synthesia and it was easier
@@ranilinkov241 actually the ultimate tutorial vid is reading the sheet music for yourself and interpreting the music =-=
So accurate... Sometimes playing slowly is harder than playing quickly. Especially piano.
It’s all about muscle memory.
Did you ever heard about a bow ?
I think that what makes playing slowly harder in this case is that he has to keep the tempo exactly right with both hands. It’s already hard because of the polyrhythms, but when you play it slowly it becomes even more difficult to keep track of
@@angrydoodle8919 Have you ever heard of Grammar? It's a very well known fact, but yes, illiterate fucks like you wouldn't know.

Said well
Completely agree
0:57 Hit me hard with emotion.
It's a moving piece for sure. Sounds a lot like the great fairy fountain from The legend of Zelda.
Same to me love this part.
@@hgrunt100 yeaah that’s why I love it 🥹
@@hgrunt100 THATS WHY ITS LITERALLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE EVER
It's the 6 notes in one and 8 notes in the other that messes too much with my head
+Kristina plays It took me about two weeks to understand and implement it, and I wonder how my family didn't kill me while I was at it, since I'm playing an acoustic piano. :) However, once you've captured the correct feeling it all goes smoothly from there. At least, it was like this for me.
Hemiolas are not easy to play, but once you get the pattern down, it's easy. I struggled when I first was learning the song, now I can play both hands together and it's no longer a problem.
+Xjas12 the word you're looking for is polyrhythm, not hemiola
+cleanurpants You're right! My bad haha thanks :)
Same here, im trying to teach myself this and triplets and sixteenth notes at the same time is so hard
I know this Piece Since I am 15, and I allways thought this is way to difficult to learn, so I never tried it till now. As I watched your tutorial I noticed, that it would maybe to handeld. So I tried to read the sheet (now I am 37) and look !!!!!!! After only one week I can play the first page!!! It feels like a miracle is come true !!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Im 15 and i Play it :) keep going
Ano Nymus me too :)
im 2 and ive been playing piano for only 1 week and i learned it monday yayyy!!! :)
Great. It's gets progressively easier to learn this piece as your brain adapt to the unusual rhythm. Sure you're gonna learn this in no time. Keep it up and good luck! :)
@@sanjj_1 good joke
After watching this like a gazillion times and working like a dog for three weeks, I am able to play the whole piece at a moderate tempo :D
Good job!
Starting the exact same today bro
@@-jobrocodwawz-6226 progress?
Thich Quang I finished learning the piece (at full speed) about 3 weeks ago - I can play it perfectly now
@@-jobrocodwawz-6226 I wasn't sure if you would get the notification. That's fantastic, quite the the accomplishment!
Congratulations. I'm very happy for you...and a little envious haha
watched the whole video at x2 speed
Yolo, swag :D
Wow such yolo very swag
60fps lol
Mag T You are an idiot. LMFAO You made my day MMIRÓN. Sorry, i need my pills.
*cringe*
Lol it took me two days to play the first part :v can't move further
0:56 sounds like "fairy fountain" from zelda
Or the other way around lol
exactly what i was thinking
It's taken from there evidently
its actually taken from 'Morning Glory' by Tatsuro Yamashita :)
So I'm not alone...
One of those rare pieces that is actually harder to play slowly than quickly.
yea lmao
lmao yeah playing it faster you can skip some of the notes
@@isabellakeeys no not skip notes then you’re not playing it. But the polyrhythm gets easier at higher speed
@@matthewhammans4365 Yeah I'm nowhere even near knowing the first right hand motive, but I feel like you can "feel" the rythm when playing quickly
Isabella Keeys lol no
I feel like Chopin's pieces sound better played at slow tempos. There's so much beauty hidden in the speed. Minute waltz is another piece I prefer slowed
then you must like chopins nocturnes
A lot of a classical music should be played slower. Totally agreed.
Me personally I find it harder to play this piece slower due to muscle memory of me playing it fast
This is frustrating, I know exactly what you mean, and that's why I recently decided to also play the songs on piano slowly so I'd have a better idea about what is happening, I've done with one piece these days and it was satisfying and my mind got brighter.
Yeah you shouldn't solely rely on muscle memory, because what happens more often then not in performances is that you have a block and dont know where or how to continue again.
true facts
@@mralcina8726 yes
It sounds so different at this tempo. You can really hear every note and rhythm speak clearly. Really shows the genius of Chopin's writing. Up to tempo it can sound like an unmetered flurry of notes and lack a lot of musicality.
I'm learning this and the slow version helps to get an idea of how the sixteenth notes fit with the triplets!
Is it only me or this is just as fantastique in half speed.
As for me, I can't stand the original but love the slowed down version.
nice pun
@@jb_1971 i prefer the original, it just makes the polyrhythm part feel much smoother
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly!
I watched this video, the guy that is playing the "violin"(because the musical instrument he uses isn't a violin) plays it like with any notes just very fast.
sacrilegious boi
Take him to Ling ling 😂
Do you know how playing piano works????
Nobody’s_Cult it’s a reference
Im going to try to play this by the end of 2020!
best of luck to you :)
I believe in you
karm_az's edits me too! Today is day 2... how are you going with it?
How’s it going?
So that means you ll never play it 😂
Thank you. The beauty of slow Fantaisie-impromptu is the reason why people love to learn this song. Thank you for your performance.
This should of been a etude on polyrhythm in my eyes. It's such a shame he felt he couldnt publish this in his life time. Such a masterpiece. Im so glad I spent hours on this piece it's rewarding to play.
ikr its kinda sad
should have
i swear if I see another "if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly" comment i'm going to combust....
seriously tho thank you sm for this vid it's super helpful with the tough rhythms!!!!!
"if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly"
Chopin: Hmm, needs more polyrhythms
this helped me learn it so much, being able to hear the individual rythm that is quite complicated for the first part is so cool
My dad was a jazz pianist, and this was one of his favorite pieces. I had always heard it played fast, but didn’t appreciate the beauty of this magnificent piece until I heard my dad play it slow. He practiced his technique to this. The middle part (I’m always chasing rainbows), he would improvise in a jazz style.
I'd like to hear his improvisation
Stunning. This speed for me is perfect. I would love a high end audio version of exactly what you did. Thank you for the post.!
directtalk1 Totally agree. This version brought tears to my eyes. And have no idea how human being can compose this kind of art.
Dr. Hall - your videos have been extremely helpful and fun to watch. I've been playing less than 2 years and have no business learning a piece this complex so soon, but I honestly couldn't help myself. I've finally learned how to play up to measure 40 after a lot of heard work over the last few months. My extremely patient teacher and your polyrhythm video made it possible. I am still trying to work up to the "SUPER SLOW" speed you are playing here and still find myself having to say the polyrhythm out loud (T RL R LR) during certain parts. Also I might change up some of the fingering after watching this. I've followed the sheet music fingering suggestions where it is noted but there are a few spots where I'm using 4 where you are using 5 in the right hand. Thank you again for making these videos! You are an amazing player and teacher. Love the Steinway too!!
It may look hard but when u start playing it...
IT GETS HARDER
It’s when you play this piece slow that you will realize how great Chopin is. Because it is only when you play this piece fast enough then you can feel the magic. My favorite piece!
SAME
I swear I will finish learning this piece. It's my very first Chopin piece and I think it'll be fun to show it to my friends in school after this quarantine.
What I love about this piece is the very evident pattern at times that shows that it’s not at all impossible to play but rather can become very enjoyable once you get the hang of it!
this is awesome and i'm impressed with your control over slow 4/3 playing
If you believe you can't play this song, know that you can. I remember 3 years ago hearing this song and being like, "Wow, I'm never gonna learn this." Now, I'm a senior in high school that's gonna major in music composition, and I'm learning this piece for my last recital in my hometown. It's challenging to play, but I am at the level to play it now. I'm an example of someone who didn't believe in herself but ended up doing it! If I can, you can too.
Agreed! That was me a few years ago... heard it first in a hotel lobby on holiday and started piano lessons as soon as school started. Have already completed the middle section and well on my way to completing the first and last sections
What possible reason could anyone give this a thumbs down for?
hmm maybe people are frustrated by the polyrhythm idk
The left hand is quite uneven, he obviously has his own problems with the polyrhythm. But on higher tempos this should quickly even out and not be too bad
@@henryrubenfischer The left hand isn't uneven. That's rubato.
Because they can't see under all the tears
The left hand is not correct. Pretty uneven triplets. Sounds like eights and sorta/ kinda clumsy sixteenths.
Omg, this is stunningly beautiful!! Words can't say...Chopin was an unreachable genius.
yes
I love this piece so much more played at this tempo! It's a totally new experience! Thanks for the upload
Even in slow motion the melody remains beautiful nice idea !
It is even more impressive in my opinion when it’s played that slowed down. It’s stunning to say the least but one can absorb so much more and savor it at that particular slowed down pace. Thank you so much! Where else would I have ever heard this beautiful piece slowed down like this?! Of course you are a highly skilled, talented pianist and owned this piece!
Thank you very much for recording this very slow version. This is the first time that I can actually hear every single note of the piece and it’s a lot of fun! Very much appreciated 😊😊
It's just crazy how beautiful this Chopin is this speed. What a genius!!!
After playing for 31 years, I finally comprehend the timing of this song now that I see it played
slowly. The trick is to understand that the triplets (or, rather sixtuplets ?) on the left hand for the second and third measures are timed differently than throughout much of the rest of the piece. For example, the sixtuplets on measure four begin a change of pace quite differently from the beginning as the first, fourth, and seventh notes of the left hand in each measure garner slightly more value than the second, third, fifth, 6th, 8th and 9th notes of each measure. To put it short, MIND BLOWN!
Thank you!!
Thank you very much for posting a slow version of this piece. I really appreciate it. I've loved this piece since I was a child hearing my aunt play it so beautifully. Now I'm all grown up, and I just loved listening to chop ins, and feel sad I couldn't play this. But when I saw this, wow! I still have a chance to learn it. thank you , thank you thank you.
adls23dmd just wondering hahahaha have you learned it?
Finally. I had problems and problems with one of the fast arpeggio parts, finally i figured out what fingers to use in every note, hell yes, i can start now to learn the whole piece with this video, awesome mate, awesome.
Cudownie, dziekuje ! Some of the most brilliant piano pieces, seem to have to wait for far too long, before we even start practicing them, only to realise, that they also can somehow be played. The concept you are presenting, makes it, as if by magic, so much less of a challenge !
I am learning this, wish me luck guys and send me good vibes. A 26-year-old woman from France x
Yay. I love the super slow series
Rainbow Sam are you sure that's true? Because you sound sarcastic
What, why would you think I was being sarcastic ?
It's a sin to put a period after the word "yay"
I just did it too. I bearly fixed it in time... oops
i guess ive been doing the fingering wrong this whole time
There is no such thing as “wrong fingering”.
There is stupid fingering (eg playing only using finger 1) but technically that is not “wrong”.
What some people call “right fingering” is just more efficient and natural fingering for the person playing.
Any fingering of your choosing is fine as long as you are comfortable with it and you can play whatever piece clearly, with dynamics and at the desired tempo.
Your control and discipline in playing this fantastic and challenging piece at this slow pace is simply awesome.👌 It's an excellent way to learn and master this great piece of Chopin's which I've been learning for over a year now. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot for making this recording.
My father used to play this piece, so I know more or less every note in it, but my own ability to play the piano is very limited. I have a dream though to one day be able to play this piece.
A tip for everyone:
In case you did not think of it yourself, with TH-cam's settings you can change the speed and still have good sound, except if you select 0.25 of the original speed (in which case the sound is turned off). So if you take it down to 0.5 you basically have the piece at a 4th of the normal speed, really useful for checking and following all the notes. If you take it up to 2 times the original it sounds more or less as it is usually played.
This is the best "tutorial" I have found on TH-cam for this one.
Of course this piece is amazing at full speed. But at half speed hearing all the notes and melodies clearly is great
To be honest it sounds like Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement because it has the same idea.
A dramatic start, and then the beautiful melody after that, and then repetition of the first melody, and then slowly transcending into a slow and beautiful middle section. And after that, the piece comes back to the 1st melody and ends with a little bit of twist in the end to make it more dramatic.
This sounds beautiful at this speed - I listen to this regularly. Thanks for creating/sharing.
Enjoyed it! Brings me back 30 years, when I was learning it. Still remember the frustration when trying to combine both hands, and the breakthrough I felt when finally managed to make each play its own thing, and stop trying to synch.
This is amazing!!
This piece is one of my favorites, and is eerily beautiful at a slow speed, I love it!
If I may make a request, I'm by no means a skilled pianist so I'm not sure if it's appropriate for this series, but I've always had trouble grasping the mechanics behind the transitional section in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, particularly the repeated C#s in the right hand spanning two full octaves. Perhaps it's simply a matter of me overthinking it!
This is fabulous! Thank you so much.🙏🏻
43 and finally learning this piece. Your tutorial on poly was a life saver. Thanks.
lol xDDD So it's not just me who has difficulty getting the LH even when I play it slow LOL
If you listen closely, the LH goes "long short short long short short" rather than just even groups of 6 xDDDD
+TheLAsiaNG style..?
+Mighty Powerhouse Style???
It's not meant to fall together bro. 4 to 3 Polyrhythm. :)
??? What do you mean? It's been years since I've played this piece but I vaguely remember my teacher saying something about 4 to 3 polyrhythm. Also I'm dumb as shit when it comes to music theory LOL. Like, sure, I know it's not supposed to fall together, both RH and LH, but I'm just talking specifically about the LH. The LH iirc is a group of 6. Doesn't matter if it's a group of 5 or 7 - should be played evenly within a beat.
TheLAsiaNG omfgggggg when I read your comment!!! long short short omfg my life changed imma practice it now thank you! this means so much for me
Simplesmente maravilhoso! Sempre quis ouvir nesta velocidade... para saborear mais a música! Parabéns pela ideia genial! vou curtir vários vídeos seus!!! Obrigado!
Almost finished to study it at a little slower tempo. It took me one month studying that one hour per day. It is a wonderful expérience. Thanks a lit for this magnificent interpretation
I love this! Your super slow series is the most helpful video for learning pieces!
Title : SUPER SLOW
Me : Press 0.25x speed
Wim Winters: "Super slow? This is a fantastically historically accurate tempo!".
Hello, Dr Hall. I want to say that I'm a big fan of your channel. Your performance at the piano is outstanding. Because I have been learning to play piano for one year now, I take this as a big inspiration to become as good as you are. ;) Keep on doing, what you are doing.
Greetings from Germany
This was SUPER helpful! There was this one part I was unsure about and this helped immensely! Thank you so much. 🙏🙏
God bless people who teach here how to play on 🎹
An amazing tutorial! Thank u sooooooooo much, I've been searching for this for a long time
Thanks for posting this video! It's the perfect speed to help me become better at this piece! Thank you so much!
I've been suffering to find the 'perfect' amount of slow with this piece and this video was super helpful. So thank you. :)
There is a part that reminds me of the Fairy Fountain song of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Maybe this song of Chopin was the inspiration XD
0:56?
This was the “Stairway to Heaven” of its day.
this really helped me feel the polyrhythm. I'm about to start learning this and this helped
Thanks so much. Your a really good teacher! I especially liked your part on 4:3 polyrhythms. It was so easy to understand the way you explained it.
Low key though, this is actually harder than full speed. Having to play those 3 against 4 rhythms with proper articulation must be a pain in the butt. My piano teacher told me when she plays this piece she pretty much just makes sure that the notes in the left and right hand that are supposed to line up are lined up, and let everything else fall in between. Girl has a Doctorate in piano performance and she's saying this. Not that she couldn't play it properly, but I guess everyone wants to be lazy with some things.
you still have to play the polyrhythm correctly in the original, if you dont, you mess up the song, its actually much easier slowed down.
No one:
Absolutely No one:
Me: “Let’s purposefully miss the whole point of the video by putting it in 2x speed!” XD
Wow unexpectedly through this, I can understand more the division difference for left and right hand. THANKS MAN OMG NO ONE EVER EXPLAINED IT THIS CLEAR BEFORE!
I love the piece at this speed... gives us time to feel the emotion of the different parts... Fantastique
thank you so much for this. I'm trying this piece alone cause my teacher thinks it's too dificult for me (and now I think she's right😂) and I cant balance my right hand with my left hand. I will listen and listen to this til I can.
I play this song I am 11 years old I think this piece medium hard I am still practicing this song BTW.
@@salmahtan411 asian?
Lol me too
Jan V. I’m 12 and learning it now I’m asian
The real difficult thing about this piece ( and completely neglected also by " great" concertists) is the " Colour", the shading and the " granulato" touch required by the main figuration...So, go on with the speed, you will be able to go at the Olympics!
And thanks for still playing it with passion and grace.
Thank you for the extremely helpful video @bachscholar!!
let's be honest: this is the correct speed, where we can actually hear the nuance in the melody line rather than just a flurry of aural textures
How...Please somebody help me try for this thing together....
Edit: 2 months later, after a lot of confusion and help from my piano teacher, I can finally play the whole song at a pretty fast pace! Yay!
This is really helping me HUGELY! Thank you!!!!! Also I have to say you make this one beautiful even that speed.
I am learning this right now, it usually takes days to be familiar with a small segments. But overtime I saw the progress and feel that it worths.
The "if you can play it slowly you can play it quicky" doesn't apply here. this piece is even harder in slow mo
I can play this at normal speed .
Just press speed 2.0X
Supermichi 12345 But then it‘s still pretty slow compared to all the other performances on youtube
Good one why is this that underrated?
i can read music just not at the speed that’s required to play any piece, especially this one. somehow I’m good at memorizing a piece once i learn it, this piece is so beautiful, honestly even more so at this speed. thanks for the video, imma give it a shot and use your video to help me. thank you, beautiful man
I've always wanted to master this piece and I am slowly getting there. Thank you.
0:56 sounds exactly like Zelda - Fairy's fountain theme
No, the fairy fountain theme sounds exactly like 0:56
Chopin and Haydn were huge Zelda fans.
wow you learn something new everyday!
Nah bro, its the other way around. Zelda was a Chopin fan. lol
I KNEW I D HEARD THAT MELODY BEFORE lol
I can play the first 15 seconds
Everyday DaWay ME TOO ME TOOO
Same!
HAIDBDJAJAJAHAHA
Hey, thanks so much! I think this is exactly what I need to help me finally learn this piece, after so much trial and error!
*As a professional pianist, I know very well the benefits of studying SLOWLY, a hundred times of slow rhythm practice, which always brings an exquisite result.*
