Great answer!, thanks Daria, I struggle with motivation at times with these exercise as it takes so long to ingrain these techniques! especially since i have had poor technique for years now. My teacher is a Russian music conservatory teacher and like most of your fellow pianists from there (I assume your Russian?), she is very focused on good technique.
Thanks for lessons- I screened them and seems very detailed and knowledgeable. On the side note- I liked more non-westernized look of your earlier- it was more appealing and calm , but whatever works for you. Great teacher.
The first few exercises are from the book called Fundamentals of Piano Technique by Leon and Olga Conus. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Piano-Technique-Russian-McKeever/dp/1495073017/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29VPZ7NRS8V0Y&keywords=fundamentals+of+piano+playing&qid=1691695386&sprefix=fundamentals+of+piano+playin%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1
Until your eyeballs fall out I imagine...and THEN...do it all AGAIN...maybe two or three more times. Repetition is an underrated accomplice of virtuosity. The real question is whether or not the student can delay gratification. To be able to suffer the arrows of doubt, setbacks, the slog and the grind long enough to produce something meaningful and beautiful. It's a question I'm currently grappling with as I make a scary leap toward the piano with little prior experience. So many questions. So many reservations. I'm not even sure why it comes to me so late in life (55)...or why it seems so much more compelling and important than before. To live the life of a pianist...because I've never been able to do anything half-way...not chess and not cycling. I don't know what that life looks like. It's hard to envision. The music is mellifluous and breath-taking at times but maybe that won't be enough in the end. But I will go to the edge and see...
Here's a better question. You have the theory knowledge and piano knowledge. What would happen if you physically couldn't play for 2 years and your body and hands were out of shape, what would you do to get back to where you were? That's what i'm going through. The knowledge and desire are there but strength and endurance are low.
You are very articulate and expressive
