Denis, you explain well the relationship between harmony and expression and technique. I wish I had had such a skilled teacher when I was a young pianist.
@ 20 Praxis I agree it is difficult to find a good specialist in any field, including a skilled pianist and teacher, like Denis. It is so sad because it is likely the cause of a lot of students giving up playing and learning.
I found your channel just a few days ago and your tutorials are really helpful! Are you thinking about making videos about the other 3 chopin ballads? :)
Amazing video as always, Denis. Can I ask please: At 1:50, it looks like you're doing a rotational movement for the scales. And then at 3:00 you also instruct on a 'rounded motion' with the wrist. Can I ask please, how would you suggest ingraining that combination of rotating the wrist and those small 'rounded motions' of the wrist? I've been practicing rotation with my scales for a while but I feel a bit uneasy attempting those 'rounded motions' (where the wrist circles) in conjunction with the rotation? Just as well, would you recommend this at all times with scales? I've seen people say just rotation for scales but you seem to combine both? I ask to avoid tension and injury. Thank you so much.
Wrist motions are usually used only when there is a need to shape a melodic curve, normally we avoid unnecessary motions when the line is straight. Please check out my two newest videos on scales
If you believe based on what you hear and previous similar notes that a note or chord sounds wrong-- is it wrong or is it correct? Can you go with what sounds correct?
This sounds gigantical more inspiring than Hanon. I think Hanon has given me enough. I still need to study scales in order to learn the music theory, not for repetitiv practice. Minor and major scales and chords are essential knowledge I still didn´t know enough about. Etuds like this would be more beneficial for learning movement and building ability to play musical and anatomical good. Only question - your course needs the sheetmusic to?
The link to the free pdf score is in the introduction lesson. I am demonstrating every part of these etudes, but I would suggest not to just play “monkey-style” repeating after my hands, but learning to work with the score as well.
Wow, so much about phrasing I didn't learn taking piano lessons as a kid. Also maybe why I prefer percussive modern piano music where these niceties don't exist to this extent.
speed is secondary to even-ness and musicality!! work for evenness and beauty of tone and line FRIST. then if you feel secure in that increase speed. Allegro = "brisk" "lively" consider those words ....neither one says FAST....you might infer from the word Brisk...that it means fast .Webster: 1: lively!
I played this etude a year ago, and I never tought someone will do tutorial, love it💗
감사합니다.

Thank you this was very helpful btw can you do a step by step for Reminiscences de Don Juan
If I will ever get time and desire to play it - sure. It wouldn’t be a step-by-step tutorial, but rather a masterclass.
I found this while i was looking for an elden ring tutorial
