This was astoundingly informative and beautiful. You have explained how music is emitted from the physical body into the instrument in a way I never knew possible.
Excelente informacion! Gracias. Sinembargo creo notar un pequeño error. Segun las curvas ( en 3:59 ) luego del escape , el martillo sigue aumentando su velocidad, lo cual no es fisicamente posible. Al estar el martillo suelto ya no recibe ninguna fuerza y su aceleracion es nula o levemente negativa. Es decir que en esos 3 milimetros aprox, hasta llegar a impactar la cuerda, su velocidad desciende (aunque infimamente) pero la curva alli deberia ser plana. Gracias por tan valiosa información y animaciones tan clarificadoras!!!! Un saludo desde Alemania
Thank you for comenting Pablo. Regarding hammer speed, please remember that the physics resembles that of a catapult: potential energy stored at one extreme of an elastic level system. Escapement, of course, is engineered to set off at the latest time before the hammer contacts the string. Regards.
Hello, I am a beginner in piano, I haven't even played the piano yet and I am currently doing research. And these videos confused me immensely. Can you please tell me what I should do when learning the piano that is different from traditional methods of playing the piano, as if you were telling a 3-year-old?
Hello. Sorry to hear about your confusion. The whole idea of these videos is to convey something complex via simple means. Someone called them "the under the hood" videos. A likeable analogy except that the context is different. People can drive their cars satisfactorily without knowing what is happening under the hood. Those who want to play piano well should not. So here goes one answer for your question. Very early on in learning piano, the student should build the notion of walking on a keyboard. Not using two legs, but ten. Chopin did mention the walking analogy. He said, "if a person learns to walk with the arms and head down, later, when shown the natural way, will not be able to walk well either way" (Chopin EMP, JJ Eigeldinger). The second answer I would add to your question is to watch the videos in this channel attentively and in order. Chopin's ideas are not only technical, they are corroborated by science. CS.

Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I love this! My current piano teacher just informed me that there are no muscles in the fingers!
You need a new teacher!
I always learn so much from you videos, thank you
Thank you!
Molto interessante, ottime spiegazioni!
Fantastic content and explanation! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful Nivaldo. Best!
Ich liebe Chopin.

@@thechopinmethod7257 you mean that the hammershank flex it and store energy? make sense. I was wrong then. Thanks.
We should address the uncomfortable shape of the "standard" piano keys as well.
Danke. ❤❤❤❤
Danke to you as well! :)
@@thechopinmethod7257 Ich liebe dein Video.
Необычайно интересно!
Спасибо!
What is the piece at 4:17 ? I can't recall.
Nice video, by the way.
Thank you! The fragment is from the Prelude Op28 Nº13 in F# Major. Cheers!
