Key Insights.
1. Still be musical when playing slow (don’t note bash, follow dynamics, articulation, details.)
2 Slow playing, fast (performance-tempo) movements
3. Always listen attentively to the music when playing slow
4. Half speed and quarter speed

Thank you great maestro Graham! How i'd like to study piano under your refined and mastery guide. My compliments for your clarity and your examples which enlighten the most common difficulties for the piano technique. See you soon. My best regards and esteem.

Insightful! One must be especially careful, as Mr. Fitch says, to make quick motions in slow practice, both playing motions and between positions; otherwise, a tedious and laborious approach is inadvertently cultivated.

Can “slow but fast” be thought of as slow staccato?

[@CyberS_1984]

What is the piece in the Introduction please?

[@joefalchetto94]

Ravel, Sonatine - 2nd movement

[@CyberS_1984]

Thanks Marco

What is the second piece???

[@themysteriouscow]

chopin op 10 no 12 (aka the revolutionary etude)

[@stephcoker1489]

What is the name of the piece he's demonstrating which is in C minor (I'm not referring to the Pathetique). It's one of the few where I don't hear the name of the composer or the title of the piece. (I think someone else has asked about this as well.)
