taking this as a sign it's finally time to learn it. Hearing this at age 14 is the REASON I STARTED piano and why I became obsessed with piano
Bruh
10months in, did u make progress?
@@EgoJinpachi_ ikr hit me with that update.
Marius Mariuz never started it. Got distracted and once this virus hit the world, I chose to dive deep into Chopin Nocturnes (which always haunted me for some odd reason) .. once I’m done with this nocturne I’m gonna dive into Liszt something about Beethoven is harder than Chopin and Liszt .. it’s kinda mind blowing .. I think I’ll wait til the 20 year anniversary to learn it haha .. I am on a crazy path right now haha
Did you learn it?
in my opinion your fingering works well for „big handed“ pianist but if you have small hands it will be very difficult. I have small hands and chose to stay with 5 on top and play the highest pair of notes with 3/5. Wrist rotation is very very important. I think this shows how individual fingerings are. It depends very much on preferences, the shape and size of your hands, etc.
Thank you very much for your tips, you‘re very helpful, indeed!
I thought I had already figured the fingering of this part out myself quite well, but I tried your way and have to admit that your way is so much better. Just after a few minutes my fingers feel already much more flowing and comfortable. Also I can play it now much quicker while being super precise at the same time. Thank you so much for your insights! Cheers from Germany
Here's a short video on a tough little passage in the third movement of Beethoven's famous "Moonlight" Sonata, Op.27 No.2. This section has given many students a lot of trouble over the years, and I'm always getting questions about it, so I thought I'd make this video tutorial on how I would approach it. I hope you find it helpful!
Thank you, I'm making slow progress on this between lessons!
Hunter Pritchett glad to hear it Hunter! I hope all is well with you
@@joshwrightpiano Thanks. Actually, there was one night where I got fully loose. I don't know what happened, maybe it had to do with the barometric pressure and the fact that I'm doing good work to get my overall inflammation levels down, but something popped on the inside of my nose (similar to how your ears pop with elevation) and I felt completely loose. It was a feeling I've never had before and it helped tremendously on piano. I was able to play with such emotion and suppleness. I'm trying to get that to happen again, and steer my body to behaving like that all the time because it was like cheat codes for playing artfully.
Josh Wright you are incredible!
Did you do the left hand part of this Bc that’s my main problem
Sir, you're such a lovely person and great teacher! I'm glad we can watch your content. That super pro tip is gold, thanks a lot!
Thiago Costa Thanks Thiago!
Thanks so much for sharing! I was struggling with this fragment, but I think I’ll be fine using your technique. I just want to say I’ve been binge-watching your videos and am very impressed with your teaching. You really made me realize the value of a good teacher. I love how you can just sit down and create a lesson like this without editing anything while being clear and easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time!
First time actually seeing someone play this. Fantastic
Nice video, thanks! This is one of the pieces that taught me I needed to go back to practising my scale runs and focus on increasing accuracy when increasing the tempo!
Thanks. I've been tightening up here and i think this wiill help me get this part of the piece up to tempo much faster. Thank you so much.
Can’t wait for the full length video, thank you really, you teach more in one video than most teachers
Aleks thanks Aleks!
I didn’t know that this part was ‘amazingly difficult ‘ even for a professional pianist! I tried some finger numbers but I realized that haven’t tried ‘every possible ‘ numbers yet! I’ll try your suggestion tomorrow! Thank you for this video.
Perfect timing, i just recently started playing this piece and this is great. Thanks!
squishy squash glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend
waiting for a long time!!!!!
Amazing, you are one of the best pianist ever and you are very helpful
Although your way is great I have already practiced another way and it is working fine, yours is probably better and to anyone seeing I recommend learning his but the way I do it, is I use 1 and 5 for everything except when going up to the f sharp I use 4
Hi Josh! It is always a pleasure to listen to your explanations. Greetings from Heidelberg in Germany!
thanks this helped a lot had a bit of trouble with this segment
Thank you so much!
You realy helped me.
Omg thanks you so much, waiting for this video so long ago
Jian Hau Nicholas Tan glad you enjoyed it :)
Here is an UPDATED ProPractice tutorial I recently made for the full movement. I hope you all enjoy it, and wish you all the best in your continued piano studies! th-cam.com/video/if_tCAYB0C0/w-d-xo.html
100th comment let's goooo!!!! Josh is a legend, thank you for these lessons which help intermediate pianists such as myself. Always great content, which is much appreciated.
Your sight reading is so good
Volen Ivanov you’re kind, but it’s nowhere near the ability of many of my colleagues!
Brilliant
Ohhh perfect, I m working on it
💜💜💜
I hope it helps! Have a great weekend :)
@@joshwrightpiano Josh Wright Josh Wright yes it's very very helpful 🙏, have a great weenkend too :p
Wow thanks a lot!!!!
Thanks
I am literally working on this song right now! I just started two days ago
How did it go?
I am literally working on this songh right now! I just started 9 years ago
Hi Josh,
I’ve seen this passage played with left pinky left on Ab, it sounds better for me, but it’s harder for someone like me with average hand size.
For me this section is the most difficult in the piece. Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I would love to see you play a Transcendental Etude like Mazeppa or Chasse Neige as I'm sure you're more than technically capable of them. I've seen that most people rank Chasse Neige as more difficult than Mazeppa, Molto Vivace and Wilde jagd. I wonder why it is considered so difficult. It's mostly trills,jumps ,tremolos and chromatics. I would like to hear your opinion on the piece. Thanks a lot . ( and sorry for writing such long comment ).
Is that another webinar or the same that you did last month? That one was quite helpful.
Moonlight sonata is one of my dream pieces to play one day.
How do you sight read so *fast*
I can do slower pieces but these fast ones are impossible
He already has some practice with this piece I very much doubt he can read all of this piece to speed with no practice ahead of time
@@s4trat844 correct, it’s better for reference
Great Work! Love your tutorials, perhaps you could do Rachmaninoff/Gryaznov’s Italian Polka arrangement ?
I love that piece! I would suggest reaching out directly to Gryaznov for questions about it. He's very personable and has always responded to my emails. Have a great week Daniel!
Josh Wright Great, I’ll contact him about it !
Can you do a video on Tchaikovsky‘s Barcarole (June) the seasons? It would be really amazing!
Great
Josh, what about the double trills part ( the second trill starting on the G ) ?
Great tutorial! Can you do some Rachmaninoff or Schumann next?
Feona Lee Jones I have some plans for some Rachmaninoff Prelude tutorials later this year :)
Love this song but not sure I'm ready for it. This and Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor are my dream pieces.
Prelude in c# minor is much easier. It’s deceptively easy. This third movement is deceptively hard. But I’m sure you can okay both with enough practice.
How/when do you apply pedals to this piece where it doesn't sound muddy, or not applying enough?
could you do a pro practice on chopins second scherzo?
Josh " you are Goodman "
I just use 1 5 for all of it except the f sharp I use my third finger. Doesn’t feel very comfortable I will try change
What about the right hand getting up to speed with the broken arpeggios.
I find the Allegro to Presto jump to be hard. I end up having to think in terms of eighth note beats and sixteenth notes being trills just to get close to full tempo.
But why does that help? Why is it that thinking in terms of eighth note beats helps me to play faster than I ever would if I was thinking in terms of quarter note beats?
Any tips to get better at sight reading? I'm beginning to be able to sight reading around grade 3-4 pieces right now, but can't seem to get any better.
Wonder Lamb sightreading is something you can only get better when you practice it constantly! So just sight-read any small pieces everyday for 10-15 min and you will notice the results
I wish I could afford propractice...
Do a video where you show you’re favorite pieces
Bart Remmelzwaal I have - the 4 Chopin Ballades :)
Josh Wright nice the 4 ballades are amazing pieces of piano music! Thanks
I didn't know Lee Adama could play piano 😮
as a cellist my left hand is faster then right hand(im right handed) and my right hand is really slow
I did all 5's on top and after watching this video like half a year after performance just noticed how uncomfortable that is!
Ly
Pro practice Paganini-Liszt etude 4 second version
This guy looks like a middle age british man
Who knew Hugh Grant was good at piano?
Obvs. That’s why they cast him to play Chopin! Didn’t you see the movie?
😶
Wäre es möglich dieses Video auch in Deutsch zu machen oder zu Filmen dann verstehe ich es besser
Well I just played this in a competition like a week ago...you’re kinda late but it’s fine😂
Does grand piano consists of 88 keys ? Plz answer..
Yes all pianos have the same number of keys, the difference between different pianos are the shape of the piano itself
Why am I here? I don’t even play piano
I can play piano but can’t read music 😭😭
Lmao getting this to 160 bpm is hell xd, any ideas?
Lol.

this is not the hardest piece in the world
Video does not work at all for me as I can't see either the keyboard, score or even the hand clearly with this camera angle, so it's just you talking. Poor lighting too. Hence not a good advert for your paid content and it would not encourage me.
