What a preparation for this presentation ? This Gentleman truly contributes to the cause ofMusic and inspires many of us !
I'm so glad that you suggested Bach for the Cello. I had been playing Pachelbel and went into a depression.
He did it again! What a beautiful, enlightening and useful presentation. Many thanks to Graham Fitch and Pianist Magazine. Greetings from Canada. 🌟
Thank you, Graham, for saving my sanity during the pandemic. You helped me rediscover piano after leaving it for decades. You have helped me overcome injuries from work and time. And you taught me what a quaver was! You are the recognized authority for online piano technique learning.
Because my injuries were in the left hand, I will apply this lesson slowly as you have previously taught.
Best to you.
Bon chance. I had to rehab my right shoulder too many times, and continue working to treat patients. I now have a video of my exercises and self treatments. The low back exercises take 30 seconds, but should be done every day. But I also include my treatments for the shoulder and arm.

I have liked his emphasis about listening deeply to what the left hand is doing in order to bring out that beautiful sound. Thank you for the inspiration.
Graham is the best!
I adore you Graham, thank you 😊🙏🏼❤️
Thank you dear Graham. I really need this, having been recently shocked at the incompetence of my left hand!! 😬😳🥺 It's particularly going down the keyboard rapidly, with thumb turns - for example when playing Bach. My arpeggios, wrist circles and stretches are pretty good, but I've definitely neglected my poor left hand on the whole! My fourth finger has a touch of arthritis in it too, which makes it a bit weak and wobbly sometimes. Getting older, lol!! Thank you for your tips here. Time to knuckle down to some practice! I hope you're keeping well... ?! 🤗
Currently preparing Bach’s C minor prelude as a potential for an exam come winter time, and this one handed version is incredible! Will add it to my practice routine. Thanks again Graham
As always, informative, practical and delightful.
This was fantastic!
Also Chopin’s prelude n3 is very challenging and useful to improve left hand
Thank you, Mr. Fitch. I always learn a lot whenever I watch your teaching video. 🙏
Thank you so much !🦋
Saw two of your videos and both of them are very important for my improvements
I just found this channel and I'm so glad I did! U have so much knowledge... This is too underrated 🥺🤍

Happy Sunday to you!
Bravo!!! 😊❤️
Danke Sie sind der beste 👍👍👍
Thank you hugely, Mr. Graham! You have unfailingly inspired me with each lesson.
Hi Graham, could you do a topic about tips how to not play mistake?
great !
Hello from Pennsylvania!
What is the beautiful piece heard at the very beginning??
Hyun Sook Park tells me all the time to practice the left hand twice as much as the right, except in Chopin. For that music, practice the left hand four times as much.
Love a new Sir Graham video! Check out Vyacheslav Gryaznov’s transcription of mahler’s adagio for the left hand - it is gorgeous. See you in 2022 at Finchcocks! 💪🏻 Also what is the piece from the intro?
Mel Bonis - Phoebe.
Thanks for this wonderful channel. I would humbly ask if it could be possible to have the notes of the examples you show… that would be really helpful…
Which piece is in the intro? Debussy?
Oh u play it in your video.
It reminds me of Debussy.
Glorious shirt there
I believe that shirt is "batik"-shirt from Indonesia 👍
My left seems stronger and I could be imagining the biased. I tune pianos full time for almost 20 years with the right hand on the lever and the focus of intervals tests with the left. Who knows?
I found it difficult to see where your lefthand fingers were on the notes. An overhead view would have been more revealing. It does look like a good exercise to learn though.
How to develop your left hand. Play with your left hand.
Musicians and clothing have a seemingly ---- relationship. Damn rare where there's exceptions.
How to improve your left hand: play more often with your left hand. So obvious, but not done enough up until now.
One word: Godowsky.
That’s three
