I didn't realize you already have a ProPractice video on this, my favorite Chopin piece! What I love about you, Josh, is you have such an incredible sense of humor. You're so funny sometimes you crack me up. I will definitely be purchasing this pro practice video.
I just watched the entire ProPractice tutorial and what a joy!! I just love your passion and your humor and the way you demonstrate with all kinds of different techniques to make it easier for us to learn difficult sections. This piece is on my bucket list and I'm really not at the level of play required (I think) but I'm going to start. It will probably take me years to learn it but oh, it will be so worthwhile. I'll be rewinding thousands of times! It's the best $5.99 I ever spent on anything. Thank you, Josh!
Yes, the most important thing is to keep the melody cantabile, this is one of Chopin´s most remarking melodies. The right hand must be totally free. Scriabin learned a lot from this...and it´s good not abusing the right pedal, but make legato without using the pedal for it.
Hey bro appreciate the effort you put in to this! I've been struggling with the very next section, the B flat minor bit. Is there a trick to doing the thirds so fast? I've been brute forcing my way through that one bit and the ending (not really a pianist).
hola querido jose, muchas gracias por el tutorial. una pregunta: los dedos que estas colocando, son los que dice la partitura? un abrazo desde argentina }
Dear teacher, As you take into account the acoustics of the hall or room you play in, exactly the same fashion your interpretation should adapt to the acoustics of the very piano under your fingers (they call it sound production). If you do not have your instrument tuned (and voiced!) - that's less acoustic precision... it's unavoidably leading to approximations in the expressive phrasing, meaning substracting from the chance of an exquisite interpretation... In other words you have technical limitations in your artistic endeavor. At 4:45 is easy to hear Eb5, B5 and A4 (in German notation and technical octaves numbering, that's 0 to 8) as most blatant examples. (The same goes about piano regulation - for mechanical precision...) Please take it as a contribution, not as criticism.
The parts with the intervals is where everyone needs the most help haha!

Beautiful Josh.... and very important the circular and round approach.... that makes a lot difference in sound quality and delicacy.......
I wish I saw this lesson when I was leaning this piece! What a pleasure, thank you
I love your playing and teaching! could you do a video on the Nocturne op 27 no.1 in Csharp too?
I've never thought we can half-shut the piano cover to practice to econimize hands' moving effectively Thanks ;)
Thanks. Great teaching. Subscribed.

Beautiful playing, haven't seen the tutorial yet, but I have a lot of faith it will be great! Thanks a lot

Josh, I can help you fix your piano lid.
