Thank you so much Paul. I’m learning this now, it’s beyond all my ambitions as the only other Chopin etude I play is No 1. It’s a joy to play, especially with your lesson. Cheers!
Oh thank you dear Paul. 🌹 I'm sure you didn't hear it. It's my third try with subtitles. Thanks very much. Now I can understand you even better. May I ask what you would suggest for me? Also finger exercises and which ones? 🎶I would be very happy to hear from you. Have a beautiful day 🌞

It's easier to play complex piano music with lots of black keys. The hardest key to play difficult piano music in is C major, the opposite to how music looks on paper :)
Perhaps it will help you to also think of it that every note is flattened except for the F, so you'd only have to keep that one in mind instead of trying to keep an eye on all the flats
@@DanielSilva-gc4xz Sigh-reading requires a lot of "processing power" of your brain. So, you could try to free up some of that power by trying to recognize certain patterns/shapes, which then in turn allows you to focus more on the rest. Example: Seeing a triad/chord in with a third at the top means it's the second inversion, at the bottom means it's the first inversion. And there are so many other "tricks" that could help you =) Try to read it like you would a book: as words (shapes) instead of letters (notes); you also recognize the words (shapes) instantly eventually, except that you've had enough time to develop normal alphabet reading skills.
In my score the second note is a quaver which means that this note needs to be pressed down when playing the two staccato notes. This gives another impression and makes the sound different for the third and fourth semiquavers with staccato. Unfortunately it is not possible to post a picture of the score here.
Hey there @Paul Barton I am currently studying this Etude and I am encountering some issues with the pedal. Am i to release it on the 3rd semiquaver and only put it on the next 1st semiquaver of the following group of 4 semiquavers? I've tried using the pedal in alot of different ways and never get it to it sounding like I want 😭 Could you help me with this?
it may take a little while... if you're just getting started on playing piano, trust me, you need to avoid skipping beginner pieces Beginner pieces helps you learn and develop good techniques, whereas skipping to advance pieces will force you to develop a bad habit of using wrong technique, making it harder to progress
@@calvinhu8922 I would easily recommend pieces such as: Bach - Minuet in G Major, Beethoven - Fur Elise, Eric Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1, Chopin - Prelude No. 4 in E Minor, Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata Movement 1 These pieces is good for practicing two hands coordination, volume control, chords, voicing, etc. Also the sheet is relatively easy to read for beginners... when you get used to it you can then move on to more advance pieces. Good luck on your journey!
Thank you Paul for this video! I am a 14 year old and I’m learning this piece for a competition in a couple of months. These tips really helped me get the feeling, and movement of the piece! Thanks😁
Thank you so much Paul, you have been my piano teacher for almost 15 years now!
It almost sounds like a ragtime piece. But it’s sweet and joyful and anxious and melancholic. So wonderful.

Thank you so much! This tutorial has been so helpful in my journey of learning this piece!
Please enable subtitles in the next video. Many Thanks. It's a beautiful video Paul.
Hi Musikliebhaber - subtitles have finished processing. Have a good week!

Hi Mr. Paul, i would like to thank you for helping me with this piece! I am going to perform this on a competition in November
@justdio7459 --= you're welcome. Good luck and remember to practice the last page more than any other, especially the final bars.
@@PaulBartonPiano thank you for the tip! Will definitely do it.
@@justdio7459Let me know how it goes 😊 Good luck!
Phenomenal, great video!!! 👏👏👏👏💯
I was so determinated to learn this piece but then I saw the key signature, oh god 😭

@@maraldus yeah that helps a lot. Still hard if trying to sight read tho.

Thank you very much for your teachings!!! Congratulations !!!!!!
Hi Paul, Fantastic video this is a massive help. I was just wondering what microphone you are using to record you piano?
I just started learning this. I've never played any Chopin Etudes before, so its going to be a tough one lol
Thank you for the wonderful tips!
Has a "rag time" feel...
Correct, Scott Joplin used the chords (and style) of the first half of bar 11 many times!
i love your videos and lessons 🙏🏾
thank you so much , Paul sir 🙏
Wow this is amazing!!!
Lovely. Thanks for posting. v
v indeed
keep it up you’ll get it soon!

Could you help me with this?
Yes, sustain pedal down on the 1st semiquaver and up on the third. Semiquavers 1+2 in legato with a slur and sustain, 3+4 in staccato.
Congratulations
can you please send me the pdf of Beethoven's sonata no.25
IMSLP
@@arandompianist7371 I don't know how to use it, can you help me
@@calvinhu8922 imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No.25%2C_Op.79_(Beethoven%2C_Ludwig_van)
Awesome Job! (Are you implying that Chopin copied Beethoven's theme)?
thank you! -- no :) I'm just reminded of the Butterfly when I play the Beethoven 25 and the reverse.
Of course he isn't! But...wellll..... you know... lol
Thank you for making this tutorial, I can only play Bach's prelude in C major, do you think I can practice this piece
it may take a little while... if you're just getting started on playing piano, trust me, you need to avoid skipping beginner pieces
Beginner pieces helps you learn and develop good techniques, whereas skipping to advance pieces will force you to develop a bad habit of using wrong technique, making it harder to progress
@@dwijaksara is there any beginner piece you recommend
@@calvinhu8922
I would easily recommend pieces such as:
Bach - Minuet in G Major,
Beethoven - Fur Elise,
Eric Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1,
Chopin - Prelude No. 4 in E Minor,
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata Movement 1
These pieces is good for practicing two hands coordination, volume control, chords, voicing, etc. Also the sheet is relatively easy to read for beginners... when you get used to it you can then move on to more advance pieces. Good luck on your journey!
