  • This is what happens when you ask one of the best stride piano players on the planet to play something fast. Jazz standard "Hallelujah" written in 1927 by Vincent Youmans played on my 1927 Steinway piano.

    It’s not only fast. The notes are so beautifully articulated so evenly, you can hear ever single one with no “slop” or muffling.

      This was a pass-the-hat house concert in Havertown, PA outside Philadelphia. Homeowner and poster Jeff befriended Bram at a a Wellsboro, PA music festival and for the last three years when Bram's in town Jeff invites him over to play in front of 20 or so of us. He's super charming and obv. super talented. In fact, he's doing it again this Sunday. So, it sounds authentic b/c it is. The piano is a 1927 Steinway Jeff got at an estate sale. It's incredible and I'm lucky to take lessons from Jeff on it.

    • @thenetworkmystery
      @thenetworkmystery 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've played the Model B, D, O, L, and M, and the M is by far my favorite, even though it's only a 5-foot grand. They've got an assortment of grands in the practice rooms at my university, and I always play the Model M's when I have the chance. The Yamaha C5 is too dark-sounding, and the C2 and C3 is too small a piano. The Steinway Model M is absolutely perfect.

    • @PiotrBarcz
      @PiotrBarcz 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@thenetworkmystery I've played several Steinways but most of them have been boring. I do however like the Steinways that are prepared by Piedmont Piano Co. in Oakland CA. They have a fantastic rounded and mellow tone but of course the Ds have way more bass volume. I played a few Steinways at a gallery in Zurich once but they were all about the same as just about every other new piano I've played, flat and boring.
      I've never played a Yamaha I didn't like though which is interesting.

    • @andrewbarrett1537
      @andrewbarrett1537 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is why it’s important to start slowly and work your way up to tempo. If you try to jump into too fast a tempo too soon, you can get cramps due to using the wrong technique. The reason great artists are able to look so relaxed at the piano even going fast is that they are relaxed since they practiced slowly and then sped it up. It also helps to do all your practicing without the pedal so you can build a better touch and not make anything blurry. The pedal should only be added after you have gotten everything with the fingers perfect and up to tempo.

    left hand is very impression...those walking tenths...you have a real melodic base going on there.
    It's funny though, although it is in the style of Art Tatum/Oscar Peterson, the left hand sometimes reminds me of Jarrett. Like: 0:12-0:14, you can hear a sort of chromatic phrase as Jarrett did in Whisper Not (Album, not song), where the upper note stands out. Actually, there is no greater love (solo) by Keith Jarrett is replete of these patterns!

    • @andrewbarrett1537
      @andrewbarrett1537 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have to start very slowly and keep your arm and wrist as relaxed as possible with as little stress as possible. My Dad’s friend Bernd Lhotzky practices his left hand extremely slowly and in tempo. He could go for many hours at a practice session, like all day, working on the left hand for a piece. He would start out at a very low BPM, get it clean, get it accurate, take a break/drink, and then go back in at a slightly higher BPM. Gradually creeping up the tempo (after getting it accurate at every tempo) until by the end of the practice session that day (or another day), his left hand is furiously flying along at presto and not missing a note. Your mileage may vary. But there are really only a relatively few stereotypical left hand patterns that are used most often, and so if you understand how they function and can learn them in every key, your left hand can become automatic and then you can focus more on the right hand.
