Richter always advocated slow playing. His students were frustrated by it, but Richter 's playing was proof of the value of it. Thank you so much. I love the marinating concept.
OMG. That did not even sound like the same piece by Bach. Slowly was painfully beautiful. Amazing.
I love slow practice it's like the difference between walking through a house and living in a house, two completely different experiences. Great advice.
Great analogy!
Thanks!
Josh, You are like my unofficial teacher who's presence in my life I am comforted by. I wish you the absolute best to you and your family, you talented and amazing person. And you know, I like to think that in the future I would be lucky enough for you to be my official teacher.
Mousey Me, too.
I started playing the piano about 5 months ago and recently discovered your videos on TH-cam. You advice has been super helpful. As a "Boomer", I find I want to rush through my pieces because I want to learn so much (in the time I have left on this earth) and move on to the next piece. This is really great advice - Slow. It. Down. Enjoy the entire process of learning while respecting the music. Music brings immeasurable joy - even in slow motion. Thank you for sharing your music and your knowledge!
congrats on the baby. You'll never sleep the same way again. I know, I have 6 of them.
You are a genius when it comes to teaching. That ( strategy ) is the best idea i have ever heard for practice. Slow practice is always a must...but practicing THAT SLOW is the best advice I've ever been given. I can't wait to try it. You're the BEST! I mean it! Thank you...and God Bless You. You are the best piano teacher on You Tube!
That's adult piano learners to slowly tempo.
The D minor prelude sounds beautiful in slow tempo
Better IMHO.
💯
Josh Wright, Even though I am not at the performance level of many of your students, I am continuously inspired and encouraged to take this art to heart. Thank You!
Ron Chiles where are you
Rachmaninoff was well known for playing extra slow to the point where people would struggle to recognize the piece.
Oh yes, the Chopin 3rds etude springs to mind 😊

Absolutely inspiring! Your teaching has elevated my playing and encouraged me to go further than I ever thought I could. You are so generous with your ideas, and I am so grateful to have found you! Yes, kids --when you get really serious about making music - stop the pecking and go ever so slowly, to discover, appreciate and amplify every nuance the composer wrote into the music when he was pouring his soul into it. Thanks for reminding me, Josh!
Hi Josh: Happy fatherhood! Enjoying,with all the bests wishes to our family!
Thank you for making me feel less bad about how slow I currently play. Never thought a beautiful piece could be tempo independent!
Congratualations with the baby. Always enjoy your tips.
That passage is majestic.
Your lessons are all fantastic. I've been playing this piano for about 18 years, but haven't had lessons or really improved much for at least 6 years and actually developed a lazy left hand from playing in a band with a bassist. You've inspired me to actually improve on an instrument I felt I was bored with and took for granted, so thank you so much for helping to revive my interest! :) Congrats on the baby! Good luck with everything.
I love this video. A great truth about slow playing. And excellent example with the Bach Prelude and Chopin's 4th Ballade.
congrats for the baby! thanks for the video, keep up the good work Josh. greetings all the way from Mexico.
I totally agree with you. That one moment in the ballade is so special. I absolutely love it and the rest of the ballade as well. An example of chopins genius
Wow! What a great lesson! You are very gifted in playing and teaching. I love that piece slow and fast. The harmony and counterpoint is transcendent! Thank you for sharing your time and talent! Cheers!
I could listen to you playing d minor prelude in slow version all day. I wish there was a recording. Your music is so perfect
Amazing! I had tears, just had a breakthrough thought because of your video. Thank you.
Josh you have the best taste in music selection
Congrats on the baby! Thanks for taking the time to put up these lessons. Really helped me out the past year.
Congratulations Josh!
Beautiful demonstation of the benefits of slow practice. Putting space in one's playing.
Another gem and congrats on the baby! Xxx
Gracias Josh por esta nueva y gran demostración, sobre la conveniencia de imprimir las "emociones y sentimientos" a la práctica..Muchas Gracias !!
Looooove the 4th Ballade - I'm so glad you use it for demonstrations in your videos! All the best with the baby :D
Brilliant advice. Thank you VERY much!
Thank you so much Josh! I will use this to teach my students and it's really useful
Amazing lesson, thank you Josh.
Josh you are just the best!!!
Josh, thank you for this video. This concept is very deep.
Thank you! Great video and very helpful!
Very helpful! Keep up the great work!!!
Great video, and congrats on your coming addition! I'm currently practicing Arabesque, and I've been playing measure 6 in a painfully slow manner (staccato, today). I get polyrhythms, but just seem to grasp it yet.
So inspiring!! Thank you!
What a great presentation! Now I don’t feel bad about how slowly I practice.
You're like my 2nd teacher, Josh, learned so much from you!
astonishing!!
I totally didn’t get the English Chinese analogy....But I understood everything else and thank you so much!! ⭐️⭐️🙏🙏
Congratulations and best wishes.
hi Josh, congratulations . always enjoy your videos. I'd like to know some tips to improve lecture. thanks
thank you thats awseome
Yes! So often you hear people grinding robotically through their slow practice - but surely the whole point is to use the space to dive deeply into every nuance of the interpretation? The human mind searches for meaning - learning will take place as you explore and listen with intense concentration. Playing mindlessly and mechanically just to "learn the notes" is such a wasted opportunity!
Hello. I like this topic as I often intentionally do things very slow mostly to understand the composition as I often play with orchestra reductions for learning reasons. It actually helps with relaxation a lot. I actually don't want to be a great pianist as composition is my major and my main instrument is guitar, but found your channel when I was struggling with tremolo which you helped fix. I was curious if you could post some tricks(this might give some ideas on lessons to) on working with polyrythms. I found that it is very easy to write out odd groupings for others to deal with or hear in your head, but when you try it yourself with two hands, even simple 3 against 4 or opposite, seems a bit daunting. Thanks
Great video: I felt I really related to this insight and will cement your own explanation into my feelings at the instrument. This is also my first exposure to that d minor prelude (and yet I think I own a book or two with it) and I certainly want to meditate on it as it really is a perfect example of this playing philosophy making a piece much more interesting.
I often have to turn the loudness on your videos up greatly ; does your voice have to be quiet to better preserve the range of your piano in your current setup?
Congratulations on with you and your wife the having a baby soon! I was wondering if you had any experience auditioning for any music school conservatories? I am 16 and a junior. I am preparing piano repertoire for schools like Juilliard, Oberlin, and Eastman for pre screening videos I will be recording next year. Any advice? Thank you, Victoria
Hi Josh,
I really appreciate this video. It's actually something I've been focusing on as of late. Practicing at half speed I can really bring myself to express the music how I want to. However, this loses translation as I try to bring a piece up to speed when it's out of my comfort zone. Currently im working on this piece where i can only play up to 60% speed comfortably and I'm afraid of making mistakes and losing musicality as I go faster. I guess my mental fear may be what's causing this, but I'm just looking for anything to overcome this wall. Any tips are greatly appreciated! :)
P.S. Congrats on your baby!
please do hand independence practices :)
I always hit the wrong note when I play in front of public. Whereas I don't really play many wrong notes when I practice it myself. can you give me some tips? thanks !
Record yourself. Best self-pressure practice. It also has a ton of additional benefits.
@@xXHotaroXx i agree
Don rely to much on muscle memory
Loved your lecture and loved your playing more. Immediately tried to find your recording of ballade 4 on Apple Music, I couldn’t. I’m sad.
All Chopin's pieces at slower tempo please :)
Chopin's pieces not all slower tempo.
In China, Chinese music university young piano teacher and Chinese music college young piano teacher never received adult piano learners, just only received kids / childhood piano learners. Chinese music college affiliated Adult education school (continuing education) or Old-age college [Senior (education)] received adult piano learners and old age piano learners.
What is the name of the second piece you played?
hey sry if this comment is not meant for this vid but i wanted to do it on a more recent vid.
i got a question. What are the rules for the ornament "Turn around." on
the e flat nocturne near the beginning the note started on "C and the "d
flat and "b" were used and the "b" and "d flat" are not even in the key
of "e flat."
But in this nocturne the "A flat no. 10" one the turn around
ornament is different with notes thats actually in the key near the beginning as well. I am so
confused. it started on "A flat" then used "B flat" and "G" as a the turn around.
yea any light on this?
bubbaXzone you’ll get there
Do you have a video on how to avoid tendonitis when practicing technique? (Hanon e.g.)
Also, congrats on the baby!
Yes, please! I'd love an answer to this too. By the way, how do you know if you're developing tendonitis? My pinkies are sore after doing Hanon for an hour a day for the last two weeks... :S
Dan C
Hanon for 10 - 20/30 minutes? fine but an hour seems a bit too much, you might want to vary it with some czerny and burgmuller
Yeah, I'm beginning to realise it. My pinkies really started to hurt and I thought I should maybe tone it down and fill the extra space with learning some pieces. My drummer recently got tendonitis and it has put him out of action for over two months (he's still not better), so I can't afford to have the same happen to me :(!
Dan C Do you find a lot that you force your pinkies or fingers in general to create a sound. It's likely that you're either playing loud and forcing a sound or that you're playing for long lengths of time where you're not releasing the tension in your fingers. If forcing a loud sound, try drop your hand from a reasonable height onto a C chord anywhere on the piano, just let it drop, don't think and see how naturally you can create a big sound. Hanon can be quite dangerous if played incorrectly, especially if you're not releasing tension in your fingers as you move up in the pattern. Think as free as possible and don't force anything at all.
Will someone tell me the Bach song he was playing. I can't find it anywhere!
BWV 851. WTC I Prelude D minor
Adult education school continuing education or Old-age college Senior education are retirement old age piano teachers who come from music university and music college to teach for adult piano learners and old age piano learners.
going slow is the most difficult thing for me at least but it's going too fast that prevents me from learning.
Slow practice for adult piano learners.
TURN YOUR VOLUE UP CLWON.
Bull shit!
