Very clearly explained. I suffer from poor technique in this area, and tend to build up a lot of forearm tension when laying arpeggios for example. I'll take these tips and start practicing tomorrow. Thanks!
hi Adrian! So glad it is clarifying certain things for you! Yes, especially with larger techniques like arpeggios we cannot achieve desired fluency and evenness especially in fast tempos, without thinking of what our wrists are doing. I really hope implementing these simple movements in the right places will change the way you play for the better and will bring more comfort! Cheers! thanks for watching! 🙏🏻👩🏻🏫🎹
I just enjoy listening to you. I find it amazing that the simple awareness you bring to the topics illuminates it. It's then up to me to explore and experiment to make some connections. Ty!
Thanks for the sharing! It seems that the micro-movement is a solution for the nuanced case when we want to save the macro-movements til the end of a phrase/long slur?
This is one way to put it, yes! The macro movement can unify and connect many micro movements "underneath" it.:) they can work together to improve the easy and comfort of playing!

Thank you for reminding me of those wrists positions 😊 I had forgotten them. I was taught that too, up and down was the most important. I don't quite remember if the stacatto movement is included in up and down, 🤔 I know I had to practice that wrist movement, my teacher used to say the 'ping pong' wrist movement. Where are you from? You speak English with an American accent, but you're not American nor English, some eastern Europe country? I'm Elsa from Lisbon /Portugal. Liked your interpretation of Chopin's scherzo 👍👍👍 congrats
Hi Elsa, please forgive my late response! Thank you fro your kind feedback!🙏🏻 Lovely to meet you. As terrible as it sounds in this very moment, I am from St. Petersburg, Russia...but I live in the USA. Regarding the staccato movement, there are three main types of staccato articulation, and they are executed slightly differently. For the first type- wrist staccato, you will need the down-up movement on each stroke, its the biggest amplitude and your impulse comes from the wrist. The second type is finger staccato, where your main impulse comes from the first finger joint (the knuckles), with the wrist stays in pretty much the same position, the hand moves up and down. The 3rd type is the smallest, lightest movement, almost pizzicato sound, whispering staccato. The main impulse coming from the last finger join, the closest to the key. It creates the lightest sound, is also used for the repeated notes. I hope this description helps a bit. I might make a video on different types of staccato in the future. Best to you, Daria
@@Dariafortepiano thank you, I understood it perfectly thank you so very much for your explanation. Doesn't matter to me where you are from, your videos are great. Kind regards from Elsa.
@@Dariafortepiano will you be watching Bruce Liu today live from Poland?? he's playing at 19.00h Poland time, here in Lisbon will be at 18.00h so in the USA I think it will be around 14.00h depends where you live , hope you can be on the live chat
@𝓞𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓶 𝓓'𝓐𝓿𝓲𝓼 hi Elsa! Thank you so much for the reminder! I would love to watch him play, but unfortunately I have a long seminar class during that time. I will watch the recorded version afterwards. Enjoy! Happy birthday to Chopin🎊🌺
😂, I actually think Liszt was quite a handsome fellow when he was young😊 I think personality and charm also played a big role, hard to depict on a picture of photograph;)

Great Video!
really excellent and clear
Many thanks!🙏🏻
If that book about Chopin was written by Liszt, I guess it has to be in my Chopin Liszt to purchase 😉
Haha, yes I have my Chopin Liszt too! There are even some with their portraits on internet you can find:)

@@Dariafortepiano ty I will
Thanks for that, very useful and appreciated…. I must say though, I’d forgotten how both Liszt and Chopin were seriously ugly blokes.
