Piano Lesson by Heather Thompson Smits, NCTM @BRILLANTEPianoLessons
Hi Heather! This doesn't have anything to do with this video, but I wanted to say thank you! I have been following your advice in your video about self-study, and I feel like I've seen a lot of improvement in my playing. Sticking to the half-hour routine has really helped keep me motivated and focused.
How nice of you to let me know!!! Thank you so much.
Excellent tutorial. Learned a lot about this piece. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips!
Thank you so much for the nice comment! So great to hear
I always played this using syncopated pedaling.
To make the piece sound more smooth?
@@BRILLANTEPianoLessons Yes the opening section is done with very little or no pedaling so that it sounds sharp and precise (almost Bach-ish) and then the syncopated pedaling begins with the high melody notes to smooth out and carry the melody and also to make entire piece sound cohesive with overtones as music from the impressionistic period often does (especially Debussy and Ravel). I play this primarily with my right hand including the high melody notes in the beginning but I have seen others cross their left hand over to play those ringing tones as well.....BTW My post was certainly not a critique but just an observation from a former child prodigy who has been playing nearly sixty years...Overall you play it well and are an awesome teacher....Good Job!
Yes there are a lot of different pedaling techniques that could be used in this piece. I feel like no pedal on the beginning theme is too dry but it sounds like you have excellent technique and would be able to make it sound great! Thanks so much for commenting.
