Thank you for your enlightening tutorials and your selfishlessness for sharing your "secrete", Mr.Zhdanov. It's really helpful. I'm really grateful. Please stay safe during this pandemic period . Hopefully I'm able to listen to your concert one day in the future.
Danke für das spannende Video, das auch für Anfänger hilfreich ist! Vor allem was Du über die Langsamkeit des Übens und die Verspanntheit sagst. Die eingeblendeten Bilder sind auch immer sehr klärend! Vielleicht eine "Anfänger"-Frage: Schnelle Läufe haben oft die Tendenz lauter zu erklingen als von mir beabsichtigt. Geht das anderen auch so?
Yes, here is a trick: in order to play loud we have to push the key fast, and to play softly - very slow. Now when we play fast, we move our fingers fast, and as result push each separate key also faster, which leads to the louder playing. The challenge here is to move fingers in tempo, but to press each separate key gently and relatively slow. I have scheduled a special video about playing softly soon, not about a soft playing in a fast tempo, but you gave me an idea for the next one. Thanks!
The ending of the 1st Mvt of the Greig Concerto A minor, there are triplet triad octaves that must go very fast. I am never comfortable playing this. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Check out my recent octaves video on Liszt and Chopin, this passage should be approached in the same way as Liszt’s 6 rhapsody that I analyze in my recent video. Separate the first triplet, and then practice 2-3-1, 2-3-1 in groups of three with a proper gap and instant release after the first note of a triplet.
Great video and tips. Wow can you address the right hand jumps (and left hand jumps) in the presto con allegrezza in Scriabin Sonata 5? Hardest part!
Thoughts on the quick leaps at the beginning of Chopin minute waltz?
