Yes.
DM me on Instagram! @mariyaorlenko 😊
I struggled with some fingerings and saw the notes you put down and immediately try it out myself! :) that was useful.
@@chualinho Yay!! That makes me so happy! Thanks for watching :)
Simply one of the best things I have seen on You Tube. My all time favourite piece of music. How about some Debussy?!
My favorite piece of all time, i listen too it almost every day!
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Incredibly informative!!! Love the yellow highlight score feature. Waiting for more :)
Daniel Temnik Thank you!! More coming up soon :)
This was so good... I found that randomly but it was so inspirying !! I love the piece of course, so listening to someome practicing it slowly was really interesting. Your video really gave me the motivation to keep practicing hard, i absolutely want to get better at sightreading. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much!!
Wow! You have great work ethic! I’m super impressed. I’d be interested to see more of you learning Rachmaninoff’s 2nd Piano concerto. Also wondering if you have any tips or tricks for learning music that you’d be willing to share.
Great work!
Hi!! Thank you so much for watching! I actually just uploaded the third movement of Rachmaninoff today (be sure to go watch it)!! My best piece of advice would be start slow and make sure your fingering, rhythm and all tiny details are in place before you start to increase the tempo! Patience is key 👍
Fantastic insight! Really appreciate seeing the thought process, this helps so much.
You are so talented!!!! Congrats!!
I love your videos and the way you edit them 💚🎈
Thank you so much!!😍
07:07 my favorite passage, always gives me goosebumps! If I can play anything from this is would be just that part!
Literally mine too!! I played that whole section waaay too many times 🙈🙈 lol
"So you are telling me there's a chance." I am encouraged to see that your very early pass throughs of some of the music sound like mine. You just learn and smooth it out very fast. I get discouraged when I go through a section so slowly that it doesn't sound like anything familiar at all. I just need to keep at it. This was a helpful video.
You do, we all start at zero and work our way up!! Thank you so much for watching, my friend!!
Thank you for this video. It is helping to my studying of this concerto. 💜
You are so talented 🤗
HAPPY PLACE Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video 🤗
Amazing 👏
Amazing. Thank you for this video. I am an amateur pianist and this is my dream piece - I've been practicing this on and off for 9 years now but your video gives me encouragement (and discipline)!
Thank you so much for watching, my friend!! Glad you enjoyed!! ❤️🙏
@@WithMariya I wonder how many hours you practiced every day. Also, is there an explanation somewhere of why you start from the end working your way back?
I love watching you learn to play it way more than watching someone sit down to a piano and preforming it. Seeing how you will get to that level is amazing and inspiring. Now when the day come and you preform it live with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Kimmel Center
Thank you, that is very sweet of you to say!! 😍 I am working on that part 😅
I'm a violist but I fall in love with this concerto ❤ I know how to play piano... it haves to be mine so I started to learn Rachmaninof I didn't regret
Wow! I love your work ethics and how you practice. This video is thoroughly enjoyable!
I'm learning this now.
Dear, consider getting a pedal page flipper for your iPad. You'll love it!
Amazing!
Thank you so much!
Well done you! I'm still on Bach, mind you, that's not a walk in the park either ! This took you a week, it took me a month just to learn the correct fingering for the right hand for Bach's The Well tempered Clavier Book 2, prelude 1! lol
Thank you so much!! And keep at it, that's great 👏 Bach is hard, but having the correct (and consistent) fingering makes it manageable 👍
Literally one of my favorite classical songs. The first of movement is my favorite. Although I don't play the piano I play the violin. I just love the piano.
Thank you so much for commenting!! Don’t forget to check out my full recording of it 🥰 Finally learned it after all these months!
Hello I'm new to your channel and I love it, your videos are very encouraging, they pushes me to go practice. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching! Welcome to the family 🤗🎹
You are so talented and hard working! Wonderful! How long did you practice each day for that week and how long do you usually practice for?
Thank you so much! During that week, I spent around 1-2 hours on the Rachmaninoff, but my daily practice schedule can be anywhere from 1-4 hours 😊Hope this helps!
Eu estou muito impressionado com a dedicação e inteligência dessa nova geração no trabalho apresentado neste vídeo... o que demonstra muita força de vontade em aprender Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Liszt etc. etc. Isto é louvável.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! 🙏
7:15 i love this transition so much i get goosebumps whenever i practice it
Ahhhh i know :')))) So powerful 🙏
Just so very helpful and inspiring! Keep on!❤️
Thank you so much for watching!!
You have good taste. All selection are good songs !
Thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed 🤗
I want to thank you for making this video, it helps me a lot! I was considering giving up on this piece but after watching this through I decided I would go ahead and buy a copy of the concerto. And I would love to know what version of the piece you're using, and where you found it?
Mr. Rachmaninoff, it's such an honour to see you on my channel 🙏 I found this score on imslp.org, but it's always good to double check with a recording to make sure there aren't any typos! You are without a doubt my favourite composer 😍
Rubinstein memories and mastered the Grieg concerto in 3 days, Dimitri sgouros in 1 day, So keep improving!
Thank you for watching, my friend! Definitely still a long way to go 😉
I played this today. Haven’t touched it in ages, I really love this piece. Working on the 3rd right now but it’s for May 2022, so I’ve got time.. We practice similarly. (Esp singing the melody line)
That’s so great!!! Thank you for watching, my friend 🙏 I also recorded my performance of it back in May 🎹❤️
@@WithMariya Nice! I will have to watch it!
@@tedwilliams7021 🎹🤗
HOW!!! I'm over here trying to learn Liszt's 5th consolation, and I've got to learn one other thing after that all in the span of 2 weeks...
Ahhh you give me too much credit… It’s not even full tempo 😔🙏
@@WithMariya sooooooo? Its still AMAZINGGGG!!!!!
Te felicito que paciencia y persistencia, esa pieza es muuuy difícil, saludos desde el Peru
Thank you so much for watching, my friend!!
NICE 🙏 I'D WOULD LIKE YOU TO MAKE A SHORT REVIEW OF THE DIGITACION OF THE ARPEGIOS AT THE BEGININIG BECOUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT DIGITACION I SHOULD USE BETTER
Thank you so much for watching!! If you mean the fingering at the beginning of the movement, you might be interested in my latest video where I film the ENTIRE concerto from above the keyboard: th-cam.com/video/FQsP_VvcviY/w-d-xo.html
Do you plan on playing the third mvt ? Oh and also I do enjoy the little things you write explaining what you're doing. I don't think you have a squeaky voice X), and i really chuckled when i read "range entered the chat"
LOL thanks so much :)))) And yes I am!! In fact... keep your eyes peeled for tomorrow's video 👀👀
I'm learning it too, but can't read notes. Reading it from a MIDI sequences, takes long, but on the bright side, I learn it by heart.
Heyy thanks so much for watching and commenting! So happy you’re learning this gem as well 💖🤩
You learned it in a week while it's definitely gonna take me a whole year ( just started ). Just a tiny bit jealous hehe :p It's definitely above my level but I like to learn ( and butcher ) pieces that I love.
That’s a fantastic way to get out of your comfort zone! Keep working at it!!
@@WithMariya Thanks :) I appreciate the encouragement ! You seem like a very nice and joyful person, stay like that please we need more people like you in this world !
Howdy, I'd like to know your opinion as I'm self taught and haven't really bothered searching proper learning techniques / routines . I got the first 2 pages and a half down at full speed ( still some mistakes at full speed but pretty good at 80%~ ) but I haven't memorized any other pages. From your experience ( I know it probly depends who you ask ) but would you say it's better to memorize the whole piece first then work at improving it or is going page by page ( memorize a small segment then master it then start a new segment ) like I'm doing just as good a method ? Also if you have any tips for learning pieces faster I'd really appreciate :)
@@maximecloutier1223 Great question! I found that writing down fingerings and practicing hands separately WHILE counting out loud before putting the hands together has helped a lot of my students to learn pieces faster. In my own practice, I definitely still learn hands separately in tricky parts, and work slowly through the piece BEFORE starting to memorize. In most cases, the more you work on a piece the more it will become memorized on its own! Hope this helps :)
@@WithMariya It makes a lot of sense ! I find myself working through a piece often without taking time to memorize ( just sight reading and fooling around with fingerings ) but I tend to try and avoid doing that thinking I'm wasting time. I'll give it a proper shot this time and see if I like learning like that. It'll make things more interesting too since you're not working on the same exact part for hours on end. Thanks !
P.S. Do you offer classes ( online ) ? I figured I might as well ask even if the odds are slim :p
This is very helpful.
Thanks so much for watching!!
@@WithMariya I'm an accompanist in the Detroit School System. I'd like to present this 1st movement to the staff. Next December. Lol!
I couldn't imagine learning this and memorizing this in a week. You are most definitely gifted.
You're welcome.
Aww thanks so much for your kind words!! You will be absolutely amazing!!
@@WithMariya While we're on the subject of learning music in a certain amount of time, what's your take on how many hours of music we should be able to learn in a year?
Hey, this might be random but how far can you stretch with your LH and RH? I really wanted to start with the 2nd concerto but the first chords all really made me feel sad about my small hands so I rather chose Grieg 😂
Heyy not random at all! I literally struggle so much to reach those... 😅 most people break the opening chords by playing the bass note first so it's not a big deal at all!! Learn Rach if you want to :) Just break big chords, everyone does it all the time :)
@@WithMariya Thank you so much
Very interesting,subscribed
Yaaay! So happy to have you 🤗
How did you learn it in a week? That’s an amazing achievement!
You can reach the left hand chord at the start? :'( I am jealous. Thank you so much for the video, it helps me a lot as I am also practicing rach 2
Ahh barely 😅 Thanks for watching!! Rach buddies🥰
How long did it take you to completely sight read the first movement?
Hmmmm this was a little bit ago, but maybe a few days, with a few hours each day! 👍 Thank you for watching and commenting!!
It took me a whole week just to read the damn music.
We all start somewhere! Keep at it!!
Отлично, Мария! Я люблю Сергея Рахманинова!
Спасибо большое 🙏
How long do you practice per day?
Good video BTW!
Thanks so much for watching!! Totally depends on what I'm working on, and the time of year, but it can fluctuate from 2 hours to 6 hours a day! Hope this helps :)
How do you do to memorize so much !! help me u.u I have that big problem!!
Hey Franco!! I am NOT good at memorizing, in fact it's my least favourite part of learning a piece. That being said, I do find that the more time I spend playing given section, the easier it becomes to memorize it later (muscle memory) ! Hope this helps!!
If you can comfortably play a 10th (17:54), you are not allowed to say your hands are too small :D
Unlike me, my left hand struggles to play 10ths and my right hand literally can't
How about *not* comfortably? 🤣🤣🤣
A week... Awesome... But a week of how much time on each day? Keep up the great work! 😊
Thank you so much for watching!! That week, I spent around 1-2 hours everyday on Rachmaninoff 🤗
3:27 típico! Jajajaaja
LOL whoops 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I like your fingerings better than what I have seen others do. I would cash app the money for a download of your version.
Thank you so much for watching!! Hmmm I never thought of that 🤔Let me figure something out!!
Faz sobre rhapsody. Plz.
How many hours a day do u practice something like that?
Thank you so much for watching!! For this video, I spent 1-1.5 hours a day on this particular piece 🤗
@@WithMariya its a lot less than i expected honestly which is a good thing for me indeed
Anyhow, you did great! Id like you to keep it up always 😊😊😊
@@younissumaling8744 Thank you so much for your kind words!!
What app is that?
I use ForScore for iPad for all my music 🎶 😊
hey! wonderful playing
do you mind linking me the sheet music for this? :)
Hey! Thanks so much for watching! The easiest way to find free online scores would be through IMSLP, so just scroll through and find the editing you like! imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No.2%2C_Op.18_(Rachmaninoff%2C_Sergei)
Wish each day journal included hours worked on. If any breaks how long were the breaks.
Wonderful work. Thank you greatly for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!! These are all great ideas!! 🙏❤️
14:39
What is the application you are using on the tablet?
Forscore! Great application.
@@WithMariya Огромное спасибо!

"in a week..." WOW
🙈Thank you!!
How does she find these scores ?🤔
Imslp.org ☺️
@@WithMariya OMG😱 I didn't think anyone will answer; thank you so much😊 ✨✨ it means alot 👍🏻💯
@@FuzzyJigsaw I got you ☺️😉 Thank you for watching!!
What should I do if I cannot reach the chords for both hands
Hey! No worries! Just break the chord (play the bass note in the LH before you play the rest of the chord) :) hope this helps!
@@WithMariya thx! I’m 14 now and I really want to play this concerto, do you think I’m able to play it or not?
@@helenjiang6227 Definitely! I actually started learning this piece when I was about your age, but then put it off for other reasons. Just make sure you practice slowly 😉
u r soooo beautiful 🤩
and super talented
@@borisnala Aww thank you very much! ☺️
