Your content is GOLD, I can’t believe you offer so much for free. I’m 41 and learning piano and preparing for RCM 3- your guidance has been indispensable
I'm glad you use this piece as an example of your fingering rules, which are all basically common sense, although we not always follow them. One of the problems that I face is ornaments, such as mordants and trills, which feel better for me using my second and third finger of my right hand, rather than say, my second finger and thumb or fifth and fourth fingers. So if I may, can I add another rule to the list? There is nothing gospel about fingering; if something feels more comfortable for you, for the size of your hand, or whatever, then feel free to change the fingering or modify the rules to suit your particular situation.
girl you helped so much playing this piece. I slowed down the video to 0.75 to understand how your fingers moved and I learned this piece from watching your video. Thank you!
Very helpful video. I recently bought a music book (music from minecraft - easy piano collection) that has 'easy' piano arrangements, and while the arrangements might be easy, it had the bare minimum amount of finger numbers in it, and a few of the fingering suggestions just seemed downright bad. Having some principles/a guide to follow as I try to figure out my own fingerings is very useful!
Shout out to your editor (and you of course) for providing a colorful video with great content. I enjoyed the follow along sheet music, in the beginning, and it's nice that it was added in.
I've mastered this song a month ago but I watched the whole video and I surprisingly noticed many differences on how I play it vs how you play it. But my fingering is comfortable as well so I won't try to change it :)
Thank you for the helpful video! Could you (someone) please explain why in Bar 13 ( 2:32 ), in the lower mordent, you use E natural instead of E flat? Thank you.
I'm actually learning this piece right now so great timing! I've been adjusting my hands so that my 2 and 3 fingers play the trill because I find it quite difficult with other fingers. Do you think this is okay in the second half even though it goes against the rule of keeping fingerlings similar?
Sure, but with this caveat - practice trills with other fingers too, as finger warm-ups/exercises! Sometimes you'll just be stuck doing a 3-4 trill, so it's good to train for it when it happens. :)
You all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Marvin Tadeo Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I would say in general, the finger pattern is essential if you want to properly move through the pieces fluidly. With that said, with other pieces I've played, the person must have giant sized hands such as George Winton's Cannon in C. My hands are just too small to reach say thumb to pinkie so I have to adjust. It's situations like that when I do change the fingering but mainly because of the reach of my small sized hands. Think of say a bunny rabbit trying to do the same fingering as say a Panda. Wouldn't make sense right? Thanks again fro a great video.
Ha ha ha! George Winston does have a large hand span. Anecdotally speaking, my mom has tiny hands, but can comfortably reach an octave and is religious about editorial fingering. She has tiny hands, but a very good "hand span" - her thumb and pinkie can create a 180-degree angle. My hands are similar (but larger). So what I'm trying to say is, though I agree, I think even the small-handed among us will experience physical changes over time that allow for some reaches and fingerings that would once have seemed impossible. PS, I didn't intend that to be so long-winded - sorry!
Hey, thanks for the tutorial! This is my first (proper) classical piece and I have managed to learn almost 80% of it :) I had one question though. You mentioned that playing both 114 & 115 together would sound really good. I checked on TH-cam for such a combination but wasn't able to find a video where these both were bridged properly. In the video I found, there is a 2/3 measure rest after 114 and then 115 is played. I was wondering if these two minuets could have some melodic bridging rather than a simple rest?
Very helpful rules of thumb (pun intended). This is ONE video TWO watch FOUR more than FIVE THREE FINGERTIPS (puns intended but admittedly somewhat contrived and desperate).
Wait a second. The mordent of the bar #8 is Bb A Bb A. Then in bar #9 happens the same. That mordent shouldn't go A Bb A? Oh, SHIT. I'm reading in Spanish and in English. There are contradictions: in Music Theory it's not trill and mordent, it's INFERIOR MORDENT and SUPERIOR MORDENT. The TRILL is the SUPERIOR MORDENT: If it's on an A, it goes A Bb A The MORDENT is THE INFERIOR MORDENT if it's on an A, it goes A G A. Theorists, come together and make my life easier. GOD DAMN IT.
@@giancarloandrebravoabanto7091 Can you also explain (it is a previous question) why at 2.33 ( Fa Mi Fa ) it goes with a Mi natural instead of a Mi flat? I didn't notice it, but the guy above is right 🤔

I'm french and this video is exactly what I was looking for as I'm trying to learn this Minuet
I’m impressed by the timing of this video being suggested to me! I just finish studying this minuete and opened TH-cam to look for fingering tips!
google was eavesdropping
those written down fingerings will be a huge help when reviving a piece you haven't played in a long time
This is so true. Whenever I crack open an old piece, I always want to high-five my past self for adding them in.

Thanks for the tips. Fingering is everything in playing 🎹!

That was very helpful.
serious your channel deserve more like and subscribed. thanks for all the tips. they are really helpful for me and my students

1, 3, and 6 are the ones I'm going to be using in my music. Thank you for the ideas.
Useful.
My favorite piano channel!
Thank you for the helpful video! Could you (someone) please explain why in Bar 13 ( 2:32 ), in the lower mordent, you use E natural instead of E flat? Thank you.
I wish you had demonstrated the mordants and half mordants in this piece

@Marvin Tadeo it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D

Good job again. Thanks for mentioning IMSLP -- cool place.
I love that website!
The melody in the right hand kinda remember me about American Beauty.
exelente lesson my dear
the last part, more specific the upper mordent was big challenge for me. because l use fingers 3-4 instead 2-3
Now that's a bigass engagement ring.
Congrats
Very helpful. Thanks.

very usefull, thanks a lot!
Great! But where do I find the whole annotated pages so I can copy them on my own copy?
I watched it again and got a lot more out of it. Love the tune, but to me, it is a lot harder than the G major counterpart.
Very helpful rules of thumb (pun intended). This is ONE video TWO watch FOUR more than FIVE THREE FINGERTIPS (puns intended but admittedly somewhat contrived and desperate).
Hey, so fab vid :3 also, random question: have you heard a Maiden's Prayer. How would you consider it, difficulty wise?
Never heard of it, who's it by?
Tells Badarzewska.
Tekla Badarzewska **
peanut butter jelly time!
I'm learning this I'm on the last 3 bars on page 2 I need help with the mordent sign lol
I have Bach's yellow notebook, in which, on measure 8, the mordent, he put in the fingering as 2132, why? how???
Any sheet music for the mordants, they are making me postal love you oodles
I totally love your Videos !! Would love to meet You one day :/ You Look kinda crazy :D
Can anyone please explain why on 2:33 the mordent is played with a natural E instead of an E flat?
What level would you play that at?
RCM Grade 3. I think it would be the same for ABRSM as well.
Talk tomuch!
Moron.
Wait a second. The mordent of the bar #8 is Bb A Bb A.
Then in bar #9 happens the same.
That mordent shouldn't go A Bb A?
Oh, SHIT. I'm reading in Spanish and in English. There are contradictions: in Music Theory it's not trill and mordent, it's INFERIOR MORDENT and SUPERIOR MORDENT.
The TRILL is the SUPERIOR MORDENT: If it's on an A, it goes A Bb A
The MORDENT is THE INFERIOR MORDENT if it's on an A, it goes A G A.
Theorists, come together and make my life easier. GOD DAMN IT.
in baroque period mordent is played Bb A Bb A. In classical style mordent is played like A Bb A. ✌️🍿(both are superiors mordents of course)
@@giancarloandrebravoabanto7091 Can you also explain (it is a previous question) why at 2.33 ( Fa Mi Fa ) it goes with a Mi natural instead of a Mi flat? I didn't notice it, but the guy above is right 🤔
thats right, should played (F Eb F)
