Thanks for showing us the right technique to eliminate wrist pain while playing! Starting piano again after many years, I have less pain than I did as a student :)
Breathtakingly beautiful! Your presentation of structure, intertwining layers, rhythmic elements, and the unfolding drama is so clear and much appreciated!
DENIS THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR VÍDEOS! VERY CLEAR AND HELPFUL. ALL THE BEST. MAESTRO ROBERTO SION, SAO PAULO, BRASIL. THIS BALLADE ( WITH THE PRINTED MUSIC TO FOLLOW) SOUNDED SO BEAUTIFUL AND STYLISTC TRULY.! 😇
Denis, your playing truly resonates with me!The pieces I want to learn with you get longer, but somehow it makes me very motivated and happy! Thank you for your wonderful playing and lessons. I can't wait to learn one by one with your sessions. 😁😄
@@DenZhdanovPianist Oh, you are very kind Denis! Your performances and piano sessions are truly awe-inspiring! I totally understand that it is very difficult and challenging, but I am fully submerged in the classical piano world! What can I say? Lucky me!! 😉Thank you one more time for your very encouraging and kind words.
I just love this interpretation, it is almost exactly how I imagine Chopin intended for the piece to be played! You really play the whole Ballade well, and particularly at the climaxes, the voicing is beautiful. Well done!
Yes for me, although this is kind of wrong. I guess it’s a childhood habit which seems nevertheless to be more useful then harmful in my particular case. I know also that I am not alone using it among professionally trained artists.
@@DenZhdanovPianist oh no its not wrong at all if it helps your playing Ive seen other artists using it Also at the beginning the octaves notated in the treble staff i see you use both hands to perform them.bar 14 0:37 Again this to me is totally acceptable and what I would do. Theyre obviously fast and light and to get the legato with just the right hand would be very hard to execute. I slow a lot of videos down in pieces i intend to study and try to take note of fingerings used. Obviously I don't always go with the fingering but if I'm finding a particular bar in a piece difficult i draw on all the options available. 😂 I have found that fingering is a major benefit or hindrance to playing " harder" pieces. I really enjoy your channel and am an avid amateur pianist The relaxation part i sometimes struggle with. I "know" what needs to be done its just sometimes in the concentration of playing i 'forget' and tense up. Especially when not memorising the piece and knowing every note.. I had bad training when younger and never really had a fully experienced teacher to correct my playing I can see through your playing the right tension (don't like that word but full relaxation is impossible also) and release in your hands and playing mechanism
@@DenZhdanovPianist no it isn't wrong at all, many pianist use 4/5 on top, the 4th finger helps reduce the distance between and makes the octives faster, and you can constantly stick a finger on the keyboard to increase accuracy.

Watching your fingers dance elegantly on the keyboard is as wonderful as watching a ballerina perform beautiful dance movements . Thank you .

Amazing! underrated ballade

Thanks for the nice feedback!
Awesome playing and I love the way you tastefully removed one note to make an awkward left hand spot much smoother
Brravvooo!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐💐💐💐💐💐
Incredible mastery! Beautifully played!
Thank you kindly!
Fantastic i noticed at 5:50 etc on the r/h Ab octave jumps you use fingers 4/5 at the top. does this make things more secure?

Whatever works best for the pianist,,, prb 3/4 would work as well for some
@@DenZhdanovPianist no it isn't wrong at all, many pianist use 4/5 on top, the 4th finger helps reduce the distance between and makes the octives faster, and you can constantly stick a finger on the keyboard to increase accuracy.
Do most people split the octaves at the beginning between two hands or play it with one? I always wonder this..
I can’t say I care much what others do, I do what works best for me in order to reach the musical goal I pursue.
i think you played 7:24 way too fast. the Eb -> E melody in the left hand needs to be out and have a breath
It was exactly as I wanted it to be😉
@@DenZhdanovPianist i guess we have our own uniqueness as a musician as in artist. great job anyways! 💜
