Its my 3rd day into it and I'm now to second 0:40.. Because i have speed and transition perfectly... So now I'm practicing from 0:40 and on and its getting harder :o
Now i'm by second 0:55 and im trying my best and its hard.. It's hard to memorize and hard to transition. I still have a long way to it, because i saw it on HDPianoClassical which im happy it came out full but terrified if im going to be able to do it all.. Its sooooo long
Brings old memories this is the first song I learned for piano. It took me almost 2 months to play it well enough to impress my 5 years old niece, the only one girl I impressed with my piano skills in my life tho lol
This comment could be me! I taught myself this peice after my tutor said I wasn't ready. I was 12 at the time. After many years of not playing, I am starting again and love these HD Piano tutorials. I also impressed a girl by playing this at 12 years old!
Hi guys. At my 75 years old, I am trying to impress a girl too. My wife. She is 75 too, and trying to impress me with Ode to Joy. Keep working hard .And enjoy it. Regards from Panama
You are an amazing teacher! I was trying to learn this from a few other teachers on TH-cam and you are by far the best piano teacher! I'm watching the rest of your videos from now on so I can learn how to play other pieces 😉
Played some piano as a kid, but haven't in a really long while and was in a sad mood so decided to learn this and let me tell you it took me a couple of hours of practicing the first 4 measures and I have them all down today, now learning the 5th measure with the added keys has been kind of confusing, but I will keep at it and hopefully be able to make it sound good! Thank you HD Piano love your teaching style (:
I like this. Makes me think I've been trying things which are too hard, and maybe just focusing on something fairly simple and slow will help me. Thx HD Piano
As a retiree just starting out & re-discovering pieces I learned as a kid, may I say thank you for this great “ easy to comprehend” lesson 🎹🙂 you have totally inspired me & this is definitely going to be my first piece to learn...( followed by Chopins prelude in E minor no: 4 opus 28,) Brilliant teaching, peace & safety to you 😷🙏🎶👍
I began playing piano because of you! All of my playing, and technique have been based off of you, and I wanted to say thank you so so much!!! I am going to college to be a music major
Your Most Welcome!! i will be starting membership soon i just need to get a piano. i have played for years but i quit. well i got carpel tunnel syndrome and i had it for a bout 2 months but i promised God that if i can be restored of this well i will play again and i will never stop. well i got better so it must have been divine intervention.
Thank you so much! This is a great tutorial! I know how to play für elise but I always wanted to give moonlight sonata a try! I like the classical genre so do you have any suggestions on what I could play next ?
The adagio sostenuto has made a powerful impression on many listeners; for instance, Berlioz said of it that it "is one of those poems that human language does not know how to qualify".[19] Beethoven's student Carl Czerny called it "a nocturnal scene, in which a mournful ghostly voice sounds from the distance".[3] The movement was very popular in Beethoven's day, to the point of exasperating the composer himself, who remarked to Czerny, "Surely I've written better things."
I just think it's utterly insane that we can all learn and play a song written in 1801. Thank you Ludwig van Beethoven. I've noticed the further we go back in time, the harder and more complicated the pieces are (the majority anyway, I realise there are still brilliant composers around today). Are songwriters lazier now or do people just enjoy listening to simpler songs? Is humanity dumbing itself down? Jeez, tangent there.
I think today's technology and listening culture informs the type of music people want to hear. Also, with the many production tools available to music-makers, more emphasis can be put on things like timbre, samples, fine-tuned effects, etc. Different culture = different music! Like you said, there's still plenty of complex music out there; it's just not as widely known. --Luke
Nobody could explain the third movement better. As far as I can see no youtuber has made a video explaining how to play it in the same form this guy does.
This is such an emotional jam for me,, so beautiful and calm in structure, and you brake it down to a pace that if I take my time, I’ll get it,, thk you,,,and may you and yours be well during this time in our country in 11/2020, when folk don’t believe science, and are dying unnecessarily,, so this tutorial is therapy,😏, I bet you didn’t know you were gonna be such , it’s 3:42am est. , just chilling hoping this world calms down,,,🤪😂🤔😎✌🏿🎷
Me too. Guitar player of 40yrs. Need to move on from my 1 finger Rush synth sounds to something I can play for my wife she’ll actually like. Very inspiring thank you 😀

Benjamin Zander has exposed the fact that it is a fantasy dance. Actually written to be played much much faster. It was never a funeral dirge. The triplets are the accompaniment with melody in the bass. Try it you’ll love it!
I can't go for music lessons , and my mom don't wanna pay for simply piano , which is the best app , what as a pianist I would like to know if there are ways u can learn , this is one of my favourite "songs"
Dude you're freakin' me out! Right around 3:58 you say, here's where it's gonna get tricky. You say with my right hand I'm suppose to play, G#, B# and F#. It looks like you're playing a C note and does a piano even have a B#? I'm very new to piano so I dunno. But I just can't figure out that 4th measure now!
If you're only holding a single note, applying the pedal will let the sound "swell" a little bit. And pedal will capture any other notes you play while it's down!
I'm trying really hard. For reals. I'm trying hard. I have a hard time following your instruction... Joe nails it....I can follow his stuff easily...I don't know why exactly, but I can follow Joe well. I love your playing though..you're amazing. #pianon00b
He had this metal rod that went into his piano and he bit down on it so the vibrations would stimulate sound so he could still make and listen to music
He was just a basketball player who was over paid and cheated on his wife. Smdh. What about everyone else on that flight? Brainwashed to put entertainment above the real heroes, emt,doctor, firefighters, nurses, law enforcement officers, food distributors, farmers, etc. They don't make that kind of money and are needed. Movies, sports and music are just entertainment, not needed yet they make astronomical amounts of money. Get a clue sheeple.
Hi ! This video was very helpful for me and I learn this part of sheet by this video. I today come back here for watch part 2 and I couldn't find last part . and I get this the part 2 is purchase and not available for free ! I couldn't purchase cus I'm in Iran and we are banned for purchasing ! Please share other parts for free ! I'm curious and I wanna learn and I can't purchase. Can u help me for this ?? I'm waiting for your answer ! Thank you
Can you be more specific? You may like our Key Signature Essentials resource--any exercise can be played in a gentle manner; and scales are a good way to practice that! hdpiano.com/kse/
I hope I'm not asking to much! I know you have already taught a video on the Moonlight Sinata. But I have a grandson who is Autistic. This song is my grandsons favorite song! He is nine years old! When Jesse has an episode because of his Autism. There are three things that will calm him. Singing his ABC's, hearing this song and holding my hair! This song can put him to sleep in just minutes! He adores it! I bought an organ to learn how to play. But my problem is I can't read music. An I'm disabled homebound so I can't go get lessons. I can't drive myself because of my disability! Riding in a vehicle is very painful! I would so love to learn this for his birthday! To be able to play it for my grandson! I even got the stickers for the keys so I'll know what they are. Could you do another video of this song Moonlight sinata, but with the notes on all the keys. Please, if you don't want to, it's ok! But my grandson is just so precious! He can light up a dark room with his smile! Thank you for reading this and may God bless
My favorite part is that while beethoven is deaf, his music sounds like its made by an awsome, and creative composer, And on the other hand, my music sounds like it was made by someone deaf lol
Because it was made by an awesome and creative composer. Who was also inventive. Not many people have even heard of it today but there is a way to listen to sounds through bone conduction, I’m not gonna go into specifics. Beethoven attached a vibrating metal bar to his piano that he would bite on and he could hear the vibrations and thus the notes. Even when deaf, he could hear what he was playing. Not to detract from his talent though, he was incredible.

@@emiliosanchez3816 beautiful, lucky lady!
his lesson literally taught me how to scale the voice through instrument thanks.. you are the reason why I'm doing covers on TH-cam 😊..
So happy to hear this, Shiwang!
You are an amazing teacher! I was trying to learn this from a few other teachers on TH-cam and you are by far the best piano teacher! I'm watching the rest of your videos from now on so I can learn how to play other pieces 😉
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Happy practicing :)
I used to think this was Chopin bc he tended to be depressed. It is so beautiful. It is my heart, your heart. The Human heart.
Beethoven writes some extremely moody music too!
@@HDpiano Is he still alive?
@@frederikzander103 his Dead even my grandmas grandma never met him
@@kylelorenzbanaag Yes. It was jus because HDpiano wrote that "he writes some...music". If he "writes" he must be alive. otherwise he "wrote"
Oooo you're one smart cookie. Your teaching style and final instruction amazing. U really are able to simplify. Wish you could teach me in person.
Yo thanks, Josh.

Yesss, that's what we LOVE to hear. Glad you're back on the piano, and thanks for learning with us! 💙
I like this. Makes me think I've been trying things which are too hard, and maybe just focusing on something fairly simple and slow will help me. Thx HD Piano
Yw!
My grandpa wanted me to play this song. And when he heard me play it, he loved it.
Awww that's awesome
I love that Beethoven made ode to joy perfect when he was deaf
:D
As a retiree just starting out & re-discovering pieces I learned as a kid, may I say thank you for this great “ easy to comprehend” lesson 🎹🙂 you have totally inspired me & this is definitely going to be my first piece to learn...( followed by Chopins prelude in E minor no: 4 opus 28,)
Brilliant teaching, peace & safety to you 😷🙏🎶👍
Wonderful!! Thanks so much for learning with us. That Chopin is a great pick as well. Take care!
I began playing piano because of you! All of my playing, and technique have been based off of you, and I wanted to say thank you so so much!!! I am going to college to be a music major

He was deaf when he composed most of his famous work. #fact
Wow!
Actually he wasn't completely deaf; he could still hear everything he played. And he was only starting to go deaf when he composed this.
Me But still, nobody can say with any certainty that he was or wasn’t deaf
@@stijns.9146 We kinda can though. You can read his letters yourself.
that is very true
YOU ARE AMAZING !! 😻
You helped me learn a lot of piano songs
And the way you explain how to play it is so perfect 👌🏼

I have known this one for a while and it is my favorite he wrote this song at nighttime so that’s the only reason they named it MOONLIGHT Sonata

This music peace is so nostalgic romantic and the same time so sad…I wonder what Beethoven made him be so softly sad…

Thanks for watching!
Dude you're freakin' me out! Right around 3:58 you say, here's where it's gonna get tricky. You say with my right hand I'm suppose to play, G#, B# and F#. It looks like you're playing a C note and does a piano even have a B#? I'm very new to piano so I dunno. But I just can't figure out that 4th measure now!
C and B# are enharmonic, they're the same thing just spelled differently :)
Just started music theory. Basically B# is just C. It enharmonice. Just like E# is actually F
learning this
Thanks!
Fabulous! Thank u sooooooooo much!✨👍🏻💕❤️☀️💃
You are sooooooo welcome!
Love
I like that but I did an easier way by only doing one C sharp and a g# c# and a normal e. I think it sound the same
Fair!
Easy is never a good thing
wow thanks this is perfect.
yw!
How can anyone dislike this
Haters gon' hate.
HDpiano ugh literally...who can even hate Beethoven??!! Some people are too strange...
Great
thanks!
Awesome
I appreciate that they gave us at least one minute of piano content to learn this time instead of 10s 😬😂❤️
Heheh, you're welcome?
What is the difference between holding a note and pressing a note with the pedal? I assume your sustain pedal is down the whole way?
If you're only holding a single note, applying the pedal will let the sound "swell" a little bit. And pedal will capture any other notes you play while it's down!
Wow
I can't want to learn it 😍😂
Do it!
I'm trying really hard. For reals. I'm trying hard. I have a hard time following your instruction... Joe nails it....I can follow his stuff easily...I don't know why exactly, but I can follow Joe well. I love your playing though..you're amazing. #pianon00b
Thanks, yo!
He was deaf when he made composted his music.. #legend
Yup!
He had this metal rod that went into his piano and he bit down on it so the vibrations would stimulate sound so he could still make and listen to music
Well yeah a lot of his music was composed when he was deaf. But the works like this one, from his first period he still could hear
Rip Kobe 🥺
:((
He was just a basketball player who was over paid and cheated on his wife. Smdh. What about everyone else on that flight? Brainwashed to put entertainment above the real heroes, emt,doctor, firefighters, nurses, law enforcement officers, food distributors, farmers, etc. They don't make that kind of money and are needed.

No problem!
My favorite part is that while beethoven is deaf, his music sounds like its made by an awsome, and creative composer,
And on the other hand, my music sounds like it was made by someone deaf lol
Hahah, omg!
Because it was made by an awesome and creative composer. Who was also inventive. Not many people have even heard of it today but there is a way to listen to sounds through bone conduction, I’m not gonna go into specifics.
