Hi everyone! I didn’t mention what is obvious (to me): PRACTICING SLOWLY 😜 If you have any tips and tricks to play faster and still relaxed please share it in the comments!😊
Where do i get the first two pages of bumblebee?
My University professor always tells us to use gestures in our playing whether playing fast notes or slow notes but to incorporate body movement in our playing. It especially helps when playing fast passages that require fast movement. My biggest tip is to relax when you play, whether it's fast or slow passages but especially fast passages. This might sound contradicting since too many players like to tense up when they play fast passages where in fact It should be the opposite. My professor always tells us to find "points of release when playing fast passages but for slightly beginner or intermediate level pianists it might be a difficult concept to grasp so I recommend asking your teacher for advice and help. Another tip is if you think of those fast passages as longer phrases and group them together the sound perhaps might come out more naturally rather than pure finger work.
I was never taught about body movement or gestures, but I do a lot of emotional body movement naturally when playing pieces (more when I am comfortable with the piece or am more relaxed). I originally didn't know body movement actually helped, the body movement was very subconscious.
Do you think you could do a video on dynamics, maybe even including ppp(p) and fff(f)? Also, I love you content! Very informational, and it has helped me.
Yess. Especially fffffff. I don't quite seem to understand it
Yes please 🥺
Definitely this one…it’s very difficult to get that soft lyrical/ethereal tone as well as that booming fff
fff makes my hand so sore and so does ppp
My favorite for speed: Practicing rhythms at incredibly fast speeds (1.5-2x tempo) in very small chunks using metronome. For groups 16ths like the Chopin Etude my favorite rhythm is short-short-short-short-long. I pause as long as I want on the long notes.
Also, strangely, practicing at stupid slow speeds (1/2 speed or slower) sometimes helps me “reset” and play better faster.
Great tips!
I think students have to be aware that increasing progressively the tempo to play fast is the best way to create speed walls. The motion is very different from learning at very slow tempo than at high tempo. By decomposing some passages into very small segment of 2-4 notes you can start learning it at infinite speed, then once you found the motion you can now practice it slow or at the desired tempo. Busoni used to practice required segments by alternating at a blazing speed and very slow speed.
Quick reminder: playing relaxed is more important than playing fast.
Love the positive energy you bring to your content!
Very cool video, appreciate all the tips, they help a lot
Very helpful tips. Thank you!
Thank you, you made it completely clear👍🔥
omg stop this was so helpful thank you so much
I started to work on adding my wrist and elbow thanks to your previous video, so glad to know it's gonna help me play faster :)
thank you, i'm learning Moonlight sonata mvmt 3 and this is very helpful
wow this is actually so helpful thank you!! i was just struggling on a really fast song so this video came at a perfect time:) i need to try these tips out
It's really nice to see videos of another pianist's own experiences and advice. I've been taking piano lessons for a while, and in addition to that, seeing other people's experiences on practicing process is really helpful. Thank you for that.
Thank you soo much for this ive been needing this for a while now I'm trying to learn sheet music and sight reading but now I can learn rush e or something I really liked that song on the 1 minute 10 minute and 1hr vid on rush e but thank you for this tutorial keep it up 👍have a good day bye
Good video!
I am practicing op 10 no 1 and i will try to aply all of your tips, thanks 😊👍
Niiice meerch😅
Sehr hilfreich dankeeee
What you say is right on point, your language about piano playing is very intelligible. It's the first time someone talks clearly about advanced piano playing, i can see for the first time what's going on inside me, head and body when trying to learn to play those difficult pieces and how all this needs to be consciously addressed to avoid wasting years of practicing without good progress (which i did).
Your example are very practically oriented and have helped me. Thank you Annique.
As you reach the deepest relaxation the energy begins to grow in tune with the rhythmic pulse. There is no other way to achieve clarity, speed and expression. When I listen to you, I see that you understand this.
Do you think you could make a vid about voicing and how to practice bringing out certain notes…for example in Chopin scherzo no 2 voicing the pinky in the chords
That thumbnail is beyond Epic
Definitely Team HoTKeys 🔥 🔥
I'm a beginner but my first experience with this is Clementi's Sonatina Op36 1. When I first heard it, I didn't think I'd be able to play it at full speed. Then a few weeks later it doesn't sound as fast now that I can do it.
I really love the background music in the first beginning of your video can you share with me, I really like it, every time I watch your TH-cam I feel so relaxed
Great!!!
I am playing minute waltz and I had a huge problem to speed up so thank you!
I played it. The trills are not easy to master and the waltz needs a lot of slow playing first ... for weeks... seperating the trills. Speed then comes naturally. The left hand guides. If the left hand is fully memorized (not so difficult) and the pedal is on the first beat, the right hand follows and is memorized too. Phrasing is another subject and very important.
I AM SO GETTING YOUR MERCH. MY BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP SOON NEXT MONTH CAN'T WAIT
I love when I put the video and hear “what’s up guyyyys ??🌪” with a spinning Annique on her chair 😂
Some honest thoughts:
Playing slow and feeling each note can be helpful in the long run, if your technique is good enough, but it can never be a substitute for technique. The only way you can know for sure that technique is optimal is if you test out how it feels in concert tempo, at whichever speed you choose. Obviously if you're trying to polish a piece you can play it slow and gradually pick up the speed as you get more comfortable (so long as your technique, or intuition, is right which is difficult for pieces like chopin etude), but an alternative way I found is to do some "tapering" which helps the mind and and hand connection and accuracy in general.
Yes, tie it up!
I really needed this, since I am currently strugging with the Liszt Cadenza in Liebestraum no 3!
谢谢!
Join the club, I have been struggling with that forever...
"You want to play 100%, maybe like 95%..."
Sviatoslav Richter playing Op. 10 Nr. 4: "I pretend, I didn't hear that. "
Besides technical aspects such as grouping, having a beat, control through left hand, relaxed shoulders, arms, wrists, mostly playing into the bed of the keys, I find it important to develop the idea of speed in the mind, in the inner perception. What we can imagine to be real most likely can be perforned by the body.
I agree. And by the way, everyone can already play very fast (if we're focusing just on that aspect) : starting with small segments parallelized (like a chord), you're playing at infinite speed, then you can make it like an arpeggio to learn the right motion and have a sense of what playing fast is.
Very confidence my child
As alway, I appreciate the tips. I need to concentrate on the wrist movement.
These content are actually important. Not like 1min 10min 1 hour challenge, we actually learn things
Shut up!!
Very interesting! Never heard of practicing at 110% tempo before so 100% feels slow but it makes sense
Ima I submit the first two pages of fight for the bumblebee?
Welcome back to Germany? Ok hallo very nice Chanel.
👏👍
A question: do you memorize the piece before you try playing fast?
From my experience, if a piece requires a fast and technical section, by the time you finish all the drilling and practicing that section, you will have it memorised. From there you can play it faster. All in all the memory will just come from the practicing of the difficult parts
@@caydenyong2141 So, no one can play that fast by just reading right? I just want to know where reading notes sits in all these.
@@faruknane playing fast comes with practice, so it’s very difficult to play fast as you sight read
@@caydenyong2141 I am always bad at reading notes haha thats why I wantes to ask this. Thank you
@@faruknane when you’re still new to a piece it will take longer to read while playing. once you’re familiar with the piece, it’s like reading familiar words on a paper. you just scan your eyes across it as you play and it’s easier to play faster.
So quickly!
A fingering question Annique, I saw your fingering when playing on op 10 no 4. It is not following Chopin's presumed fingering (if one believes the publishers of his days, whether it is truly his fingering or was added by the original publisher remains questionable. I know Chopin had a close Polish friend/ musical business assistant in France who proof read his final manuscripts for mistakes before they were sent to the publishers and that Chopin trusted and seemed to have total musical confidence in based on the correspondences. I forgot his name. I wonder if he possibly added fingering based on Chopin's playing but maybe sometimes wrongly guessed). I have the polish IFCPWM edition (Institut fryderyka chopina polskie wydawnictwo muzyczne) which shows both Chopin's fingering and Paderewski's own fingering. Pader. fingering is almost always bad, it seem to shy off from Chopin's at every difficulty and i doubt he could play the etudes well. Most of the time Chopin's fingerings are just great but i've noticed on more than one occasions on difficult passages with a repetitive pattern, he uses the easiest fingering to remember, not the easiest fingering to play (all patterns have same fingering) and avoids thumb passing under other fingers which gives a changing fingering as the pattern is repeated. Here with the chromatic ascend Chopin's fingering start each 4 notes with the thumb, but you do some thumb passing like in scales. I actually struggle with Chopin's fingering and will try yours, since you play this etude amazingly well.
^^ ich werd noch wahnsinnig! Wie heißt dieses Stück?
So playing faster the slower will bring all faster hehe, sound good. Yes you play fast
For example, for this piece, I would like to see you play this at 210 bpm, I would be surprised that you can get 210 right consistently in every passage with just practicing slowly everyday. Close to flat fingers on the opening passages and in almost every part of Op.10 No.4 will not result in ease of control as you scale speed up. I have done it with flat fingers once but it doesn't feel easy, than say, curved.

If you can play it slowly... Ok, I will shut up.
If you can play it slowly, you can play it fast.
This is common knowledge 🙄😅
