Hi everyone!❤️ I am sorry - there was no video last Sunday 😅 just passed the first part of my final exams and concerts and, and, and 😵💫😝 so here the newest challenge with a little bit delay 😅 would you like to know more about how to interpret some composers or specific pieces? Tell me in the comments! Maybe I will continue doing this in the future more detailed 😊
It would be super cool if you would do a video about playing Bach Fugues. I always don’t know where to start practicing and how to combine the left and the right hand easily.
I would appreciate some video highlighting tendencies and/or characteristics of different musical eras and composers. Like these trills u talked about in this video, and how it is usually interpreted by musicians.
What you say around 0:45, about playing in the correct style, gave me the following - admittedly somewhat perverse - idea. Could you play a piece by Mozart (or any suitable piece by any composer of your choosing that requires a distinct playing style), and play it note-for-note perfectly, while yet violating every style rule that you can and make it sound 'off'? This would be a great illustration of the importance of style. Love your videos!
I've allready seen something similar in this video: m.th-cam.com/video/OOSGJh2IjGg/w-d-xo.html Except it's on the violin so there are more violin-related "mistakes" but it is deffinitely interesting video about just destroying these "rules" in various genres in classical music. I would also love to see Annique do something similar on the piano.
I just have to say, as a beginner pianist returning to piano after nearly 20 away, I’m so impressed by how relaxed your arms and hands are when you’re focusing so hard on learning new things! I definitely have a tendency to tense up, so I watch your videos specifically to watch your posture and physicality as a reminder of what my goal is. :)
Learning Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C Major (Sonata Facile) at the moment. Have been playing for a year now and my teacher wanted to start playing Mozart’s Sonatas. Even tough it sounds so easy it is, for me, very difficult to play every note accurately. Especially in the third movement. Your tips are very helpful. Directly started practicing after seeing your video and included your tips and it was so much easier to play it. Thank you, Annique
This piece brings me back to one of the camps that I was in... I grew acquainted with someone whom I didn't (and admittedly still do not) know, and he was playing this specific piece. I enjoyed hearing him play this piece, and he had other pieces to show me as well. An amazing pianist he was (and still is). I visited him in a practice room for about three times, and I would stay in there for an hour or two with him. But when I had to move out of the camp back to my home, I felt really bad that I did not get a chance to say goodbye. And now that I hear this piece, it makes me sad... ...yet I enjoy listening to this piece, and thank you for sharing this practice session.
This is my favorite Mozart sonata (though there are many close contenders). I love how stripped down the left hand figure is. You handle it so gracefully! I also love the 3rd movement of the 332 in F major that you use during the voiceover. Maybe that could be your next challenge... 🤔
Loved your video and interpretation- I’ve learned a lot :) What amazed me the most was how you constantly said this is a difficult piece even as a professional pianist and you play SO well - you reminded me that we shouldn’t be too harsh on ourselves sometimes, during this journey. Thank you! Namaste 🙏
Bravo! You’re so good! I started as an adult and am an intermediate piano player probably somewhere around grade 5 or so, though I have never been tested. I didn’t know the little notes were supposed to be played on the time and I already put that to use so thanks for that.
Many people are leaving suggestions for future challenges so I guess I will too. After watching this video, my mind went right to Mozarts Piano Sonata No.16 in C Major.
Hi Annique! Great video as always, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have a recommendation for the next 1min, 10min, 1hr challenge; Beethoven’s sonata Pathétique (op.13) movement 1 (grave-allegro di molto e con brio). I am working on it right now and it has some great technical challenges for me, but I loooove the piece so much and would like to see how you handle it! Greetings from the Netherlands :)
15:26 best part of this video :) Das mit den Trillerregeln wusste ich übrigens nicht so genau, aber darauf achtet ohnehin kein Zuhörer (außer man ist bei Jugend musiziert oder einem höheren Wettbewerb).
A thing I always notice is that usually on the modern scores, the instructions are not even remotely close to what I see on the original script. Things like the place to staccato are different for many times; trills are written like some kind of mordent; when to legato and so on. The other thing is that pianists often follow the rules you mentioned differently. For the example of the starting of the trill, the old master Levy did it the way you said, the master Horowitz also did it, but many of the well established pianists like Haskil, Gieseking, Goulda, Gould, etc. They start with the lower note. Zimerman started with the higher in his early recording, but switched to lower in his later performances, (and he also added much more pedal, added octive to single notes...), which is kinda interesting. More "modern" pianists like Lang and Eric Lu are more likely to follow the rule, but later they have different choices about the octive appoggiatura; specifically Eric, lined that up with left hand, just like Horowitz. The choice of legato and staccato are also very interesting. In Mozart's script, he only added staccato for left hand in bar 13, and left the others like the ones in bar 15 and the later ones alone. In those bars, we can also see staccato for the right hand with your score, but they are non-existent in the script and some other versions. With all the different versions, the interpretation varies even more. For the example of the Bar 13 and Bar 15, many pianist did staccato and legato; many others did both staccato; still some did legato and staccato (which is contradict to the script and most of the score); there is even pianist like Haskil that do a legato then staccato in each one of the bars.(either her score do not have any instruction or she is deciding not to follow what she read). Mozart is a great pianist and is supposed to know what he wants to do, so he just gave minimum suggestion. We do know what is the general rule of the classical period. But after all these, I wonder what Mozart actually did back in the days and what we should do. Did he feel free to modify his interpretation at the time he wants, or he was following the rules, or he did not even play what he wrote down, just as Liszt did. Maybe we will never be able to know And afterall, as modern piano player, with all those different version of scores and great recordings, what do we really want to do? BTW, the piano in Mozart's time are not supposed to have a sound that is strong and very short, I kinda feel some notes are played like this in this video. Is my memory correct?
I wasn't aware of these trill rules before this video (thank you to my piano teacher for omitting this extremely helpful information ;). But I have to agree with you, I don't think they're steadfast rules. More like style guidelines that can be subverted for the sake of interpretation. As far as the acciacatura (small quaver with a slash) that Annique pointed out, I'm not sure she's correct on that. It's not supposed to be played on the beat / steal time from the main note. That would be an appoggiatura, is marked as a small crotchet, and is supposed to be played on the beat. Though perhaps the rules were different for the period? I don't know.
@@davekho2000 To me personally, I never doubt the findings about the rules from a certain period, whether we really execute them is the problem. About the acciacatura and appoggiatura stuff, I am sure they are different.(Though my expression on those things may be scratchy as I learnt those things in a different language, and I am also not professional). And when there are two or more notes in that position, there is always no slash there. Something to note is that Mozart did add slash to the octive thing on his script, then I would assume the rules are not correct because there are ways to note how to do things differently.(which also make what Eric did very strange btw) Still another thing is that publishers do print things very differently in all the versions
Do you have any pieces you'd recommend to someone (that'd be me) that is getting back into piano to begin with? And as always, very well done! How did your finals go?
Would it be a truer test to do this with a song you haven’t heard before? It easy to sight read a Mozart sonata when the entire piece is already in your head from having listened to it multiple times in the past. What do you think?
I'm playing this piece too, and it took me a LOT longer ;-) One little question though: in the second bar, there's a B in the grace notes after the thrill, but I haven't here you play it one single time. I'm curious if that's just something you overlooked, or if it's something related to the ornamentation style of the second half of the eighteenth century?
Sorry anique. You liked my Comment on chopans etude. I thanked you greatly for.that but Somehow it ended up in kahshas Channel. But i hear you teaching Mozarts c sonata a piece i do play. Your amazimg.. D.l
Please, do me a favor for the next 1-10-60 and amend the rule for once. Sit in a room without piano (in the video frame) and read the sheet music, interpreting - thinking out loud - what you read and how you would want to play it. Details as you read, but also the bigger picture with the historical context. No doubt the video will be much longer but I would be interested in your reading first and then after the 1-10-60 you would comment how this differed from what you normally do (and if there was a different result if the process was now different).

Annique, can you play some Rachmaninoff on the next challenge. Prelude in C-Sharp minor, Sonata no.2 op.36 1st movement maybe?
That was long
@@redhotphoenixgamer6009 Facts bro
I'm amazed at your ability to learn a piece so quickly. Your execution is superb!
Mozart is technically not very demanding. His pieces are easy to learn fast. What is not easy is to find proper phrasing and dynamics that fast.
What you say around 0:45, about playing in the correct style, gave me the following - admittedly somewhat perverse - idea. Could you play a piece by Mozart (or any suitable piece by any composer of your choosing that requires a distinct playing style), and play it note-for-note perfectly, while yet violating every style rule that you can and make it sound 'off'?

Omg was just thinking about this piece and I got your notification. This is one of my favourite Mozart's C major sonatas.
I was just practicing this piece and I opened TH-cam and this was the first thing I saw. Lol

the second movement is my favourite
you're my favourite classical pianist 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🎹🎹
Coincidentally my teacher gave me this piece thursday, so cool and helpful to see a proffesional learning this piece ☺️☺️
This piece brings me back to one of the camps that I was in...

oommgggg that’s sooo beautiful, good sight reading
Loved the insights you provided in this video. Your ability is awe-inspiring! (for a novice pianist), Thank you 😀
Those tips about trills and pre-notes (whatever they're called) were really useful, great video!
Grace notes is the term you're looking for
Wow, I love how you play the piano and how your video's are alway's funny to watch !
I’ve learned in my piano practicing is that the simpler the peace gets the more difficult it is to master simplicity has its own difficulties ☺️
This is my favorite Mozart sonata (though there are many close contenders). I love how stripped down the left hand figure is. You handle it so gracefully!
I also love the 3rd movement of the 332 in F major that you use during the voiceover. Maybe that could be your next challenge... 🤔
I think any background music you hear will be Annique playing, so it must already be part of her repertoire.
Loved your video and interpretation- I’ve learned a lot :) What amazed me the most was how you constantly said this is a difficult piece even as a professional pianist and you play SO well - you reminded me that we shouldn’t be too harsh on ourselves sometimes, during this journey.

You are soo incredible great at playing, in 1 minute you have already played the first page
You are AMAZING!

Such a delightful piece 😊
Thank you so much, I live this type of video, especially you so added so much extra knowledge. I’m enjoying the content and leaning as well , love it
Thank you for the discussion of the rules for playing ornaments etc... I have a lot to learn.
Beautiful playing Annique! I recently started learning this piece for the next level of exams, and I love your explanations! Keep it up!
Amazing! I love these videos!
I love this sonata! It always but me in a great mood, as Mozart often does! Great video, and lesson Anique! :)
I played this piece for an audition a few years ago!
Danke für die kleine Musik Theorie Stunde :) diese kleinen regeln kannte ich noch nicht
6:40 there is a) under the trill and the a) code is under the last line
Thank you for making me understand better!
You're amazing! I love your videos!
Love your channel!! Great music. Can you do a video about the history of how some pieces of piano were made? Interesting stories that you know.
İ REALY WANTED THİS PİECE THANK YOU Annique
Got some knowledge from this video about trills and ornaments! Very nice video!
Genial!!! Te ha salido perfecta, me encanta como tocas el piano me parece increíble!! Muchísimas gracias!!!👌👌😁
Hey Annique! Im practicing the Invention No 1. Would love to see you play it!
Hi Annique! Great video as always, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ok Finally somthing worthy to stop practicing and watch. xD
I appreciate you going through the rules, -- it's Haydn who frustrates me the most with his ornaments :p
Cutest pianist ever.
Stunning ❤️👍🥁🇬🇧❤️
Bravissima!! Shame you weren’t around in Mozart’s time. With your sense of fun you would have been kindred spirits.
I love your accent, I think a lot ppl do actually 😉
Love this channel! You got a new subscriber🌸
Excellent Work and Played 🎶🎹
omg its very pretty piece! You very good pianist, im impressed!
15:26 best part of this video :)

hello, i really like your channel and love to see you do this challenge on Mozart fantasy in d minor
Delightful!
“The problem with Mozart is that everyone always hears the mistakes” -> amen sister, that’s precisely it…
so interesting about the legato!
Awesome T-shirt!!
excellent, really enjoyed it!

I love you..! You are amazing..!
I love your videos so much. I'm currently in grade 7 piano, any tips you could give me?. thanks
You should do one summers day from spirted away. I noticed your studio ghibli shirt :) Also I aspire to be as good as you !
You should try Liebesleid (Love's Sorrow) - F. Kreisler (Arranged by Rachmaninoff) :D
That is outstanding... again :)
I love This videos💗💗💗💗thanks u
Super Video. Und ich mag deinen Merch. Hab mir einen Hoodie gekauft und der ist toll.
Amazing job :)
Great video, with good tips and resources for classical playing. One question: Does the absence of red flashing "X"s mean there were no mistakes?
Do you have any pieces you'd recommend to someone (that'd be me) that is getting back into piano to begin with?
And as always, very well done! How did your finals go?
Beethoven German dances
Du warst nach 1 Minute schon weiter als ich nach ner Woche 😂
I am working on Brahms op118 no 5 today it’s like brain expanding.
I always like when the alarm goes off. She is scared so easily just like one of the characters from animal crossing ^.^
Great playing as always
Can we get the first movement of kv 284 for another challenge
More Mozart, is never enoughhhhhh xD

Can you do 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour challenge for Schubert's four impromptus op.90 n.2 pleasssssse.
Hey, I love these challenges. Could you try this with Rachmaninoff’s etude op. 39 nº5? That would be amazing
Great Video, as always ;)

Try doing a Mozart concerto please
Gurl are you reading my mind thats exactly what i wanted to know 0:48
🎹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Before figuring out the ornaments, I would play at least the staccato
Would it be a truer test to do this with a song you haven’t heard before? It easy to sight read a Mozart sonata when the entire piece is already in your head from having listened to it multiple times in the past. What do you think?
You better than Mozart. Amazing 🤩
im ur biggest fan!
Can you do Beethovens Sonata Nr 15 in D Major (op 28) (with Andante) ?
We got the unisex mug guys, and the unisex phone case lets go!!
I'm playing this piece too, and it took me a LOT longer ;-) One little question though: in the second bar, there's a B in the grace notes after the thrill, but I haven't here you play it one single time. I'm curious if that's just something you overlooked, or if it's something related to the ornamentation style of the second half of the eighteenth century?
you can try Beethoven, Pathetique sonata:)
Can you please play sonata no 29 hammerklavier Beethoven
Can you please play Chopin Nocturne op72
How about a challenge playing a movement of Godowsky’s Java Suite? Maybe In the Kraton?
Wow…echt krass. Ich würde so gerne auch Klavier lernen, allerdings fehlts mir dabei leider…naja, am Klavier.

Niente male!! ;)
3:43～♪Please tell me what the music title was.
