TH-cam is like:
Day 1 - A, B, C...
Day 10 - Liszt - La Campanella
Theyre all bullshitters.
lol fr tho
Fr timeline is just so fake
@@vanillavfx I don’t think so. Im self taught and i started with hard pieces too. If you practice for 2-3 hrs every day, you can achieve insane things in a month or two
@@Mc4KingTengo desde los 6 años tocando piano, dejé varios de estudiar pero tengo aproximadamente 3 años tocando seriamente varias horas al día y mi pieza más difícil es el Estudio op10 no no.4 y Op25 no.11
I don't think I have never been this proud in my life for someone I don't even know.
Wow that’s a compliment thanks
My man achived more in 2 years than I did in 8😭congrats bro
Is fake
@@Exploson-eu6ibwdym by “is fake” loll😂😂😂
@@iwantahandle290 which didn't take 2 years. not even Beethoven could play liszt liebestraum from zero to 2 years old. you can't imagine the technique it takes, people usually spend five times as much, this is simply another one that gives false hopes and lies
You probably still play it way "better" with a better feel for the keys, more emotions and all that stuff and even if, it's fake anyway. No fucking way this guy made this much progress this quick completely honestly.
@@teenator579dude was already using both hands in like the first few months like it was nothing 😭😭
If you actually did this with no prior training with a teacher, GG.
bro even with a teacher this would be insane, too insane to be real tho this vid is totally fake
@@theotv3383 I think it’s real. I achieved similar results in 3 years and I didn’t practice every day. If you put in the work, a lot is possible tbh
@@Mc4Kingnah man it's fake
@@tellobeansYou're coping. 2 years is a long time, if you think it's not possible at all you're delusional
Bro Really motivated me to progress my piano (i just startd
Reaching Fantaisie Impromptu in less than 2 years? That's insane
Yeah no, not very realistic. Don't quote me on that though
are you sure about that? I personnaly learned it in like 5 months, i actually don't know anything about how much time these types of pieces should take to learn but i can guarantee you that this is possible
@@arandompianonoob5 months of practice or 5 months of piano playing? important distinction
@@arandompianonoob maybe to you and some others, yeah. But to me it is amazing progress from zero. Everyone have different sense on it.
@@ryandixon8202 you can see on my channel when I started piano and fantaisie, I tried my best recording something to see the improvements and i will be glad to see your or anyone opinions and advices about it
I've been self taught for 35 years, driven by that love and passion for music, and great to find your channel!!!! I too want to learn the Ballade, as a kid I loved the Military Polonaise the most out of Chopin's pieces, now it's the Ballade!!! Great to see your progress, you're doing brilliantly!!!!, and would love to follow each other's piano journeys!!! 🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗
Wow! A 2 year progress video featuring all the greats! Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Queen!
🤝😎
And yohoho loving it
I love how you put Bink's Sake between all those classical pieces. Amazing progress!
Excuse me???!!! WOW. I am completely lost for words right now! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! This made me cry at 4am in the morning. I’ve never felt this proud before. You are insane! Great work, wow. I can’t even put it into words. I hope you reach all the goals you are setting for your Piano journey!
Wow thanks !
I’m in uni and I would give u two pieces of advice. First is, take your time when singing the melodies. Remember that the peak of any instrument is imitating the voice as well as u can. Take ur time and do not rush, imagine your melodies being sang by an opera singer. The second advice is, always relax your shoulders and think something like metal springs in your fingers. Pushing the key has to be smooth and without any type of tension. That way it sounds nicer (in real pianos) and u avoid getting injured
I'm just starting piano! Im 16 years old and I'm probably gonna be self taught as well but not entirely new to music and theory as i play guitar and drums and take guitar lessons. But seeing this gives me hope on my skill in the future! Hope you continue to have a great time on piano and with music in general and good luck to whatever you do next!
Good luck, drums is so cool I wish I could play that also !
shige cat
The motivation you have is incredible
Honestly im actually very proud and geniunely surprised at how much pieces you managed to achieve in 2 years!!
I also have the same goal as you (which is playing ballade no.1)
If you're still planning self learn and not taking lessons,, what I suggest is that you should buy an exercise book! I suggest you buy an exercise book called "The virtuoso pianist" by hanon. That makes your fingers practice fast dynamics, trills, long stretches of the hands, and octaves!! Therefore, you wont have a hard time completing and executing pieces like turkish march, fantasie impromptu, and much more harder pieces in the future!
One thing you should keep in mind is NEVER (and i mean never) ever try to compare yourself to other pianists, i dont know you much but in my experience in playing piano, comparing myself did a massive bruise to my confidence n motivation in playing😭 So focus on yourself and play to your heart's content!
Overall your playing is good, my feedback only is the stiffness of your fingers in some pieces you played, surely in the future, you'd be much better and warmed up. Wishing you the best in life!!
Thank you for these tips !
Your progress is genuinely amazing for that time, you really have a special talent! What you already achieved in 2 years took me so much longer for back then. Regarding your playing, in the last clips the problem with your tension looked much better. Really try to keep your hand and forearms loose. One thing you can try to relief tension and get the feel for it is to have your fingers come up from the keyboard and loosely touch your fingers 1 and 5, and then have all the fingers touch the keys but not press down on it.
For the quicker passages and runs, you could sometimes try to play more out of the finger instead of moving your wrists up and down too much. Usually it's better to try to keep your wrists steady while playing and generating force on the keyboard right from the shoulder towards your fingers (but you are doing this very well already, especially the jump to the Liebestraum showed a lot of progress).
You should seriously consider taking lessons, because you already have such a strong foundation and a big talent. If you want, with a good teacher that helps you work on these things more efficiently your progress will be even quicker and they will show you how to practice a piece to concert level, which usually involves very detailed technique.
But the most important thing; enjoy the practicing and don't take weird comments on here to seriously, have fun playing and delving into the world of this amazing music.
Thank you and i agree about getting a teacher I’m thinking about it. I agree also about playing for fun it’s the most important for me, however I didn’t practice exercices or specific pieces that could help me but I don’t really regret it
this is genuinely so good for two years self taught, your motivation and passion and and is just so amazing. i think you're doing great! especially as someone who has been learning piano since i was a kid (still am a kid >.>), your progress is definitely amazing and beautiful. i would recommend just practicing solid technical requirements and such -> scales, chords, arpeggios as they really do help build up technique later on :D. and definitely remember to keep shoulders, arms relaxed. most importantly i think, is that you don't let your passion get extinguished by anyone else. teacher or no teacher, as long as your passion doesn't die out and you continue to love what you're doing, you'll be absolutely fine! :3 have fun on your piano journey!! ^-^
I've been playing since 2020 and I can't even play 90% of your songs, you are amazing man congrats
this is actually so inspiring to watch, I used to be taught professionally but now I'm self taught and it's actually really nice to see someone do so well self taught. Thank you so much for the motivation you've just given me
Genuinely incredible progress for two years, you clearly love music so much to go at this pace, so just keep it up honestly (if you want to of course) :)
Thank you ! (I will)
wow thats really impressive!! congratulations for your progress and keep going ❤
You're amazing... I can't believe self-learning can achieve this level! You're motivating me!
so inspiring and so realistic, god bless you and i hope you reach your goal!! seeing this made me want to get a new piano and start my own journey
goodluck again
holy shit bro ur amazing
Wow thanks bro
That was really cool to watch and being part of this Congrats keep going on
Man you're doing really good for 2 years!
I started learning the piano at age 5 and I'm 18 this year. I didn't play a lot of these songs until just a few years ago. You really inspire me 😁
❤🔥Keep it up!
You're making great progress. I started when I was 19 and the first Ballade was the first piece I became completely obsessed with. I did manage to play it and I think you will too. Huge difference between the clips before your re-assessing due to wrist pain and after-your wrist positioning looks so much better. I can't help too much with the details but I can tell you that your goals should be to stay consistent in practicing, no matter how fast you feel like you're improving, and to work slowly while thinking about how to reduce tension-what are new ways you can move that make things a little bit easier? A lot of slow work where you play each note or chord and try to let all of the tension go before playing the next one can really help, too. Keep it up!
The determination we need! Gives my hope to self teach myself!
Wow what an impressive progression. I started my piano journey in Sep 23. Your video is motivating me. 😊
I'm going on my second year too and I'm learning chopin's ballad, I'm exited to see your progress,
good luck
Ballade no. 1 is my aimed piece as well ! Loved it from the movie - The Pianist. Certainly encouraged by your effort ! ❤
Impressive, good work ☑️
I’m 14 and I’ve been self teaching myself with TH-cam tutorials and copying peoples hand positions aswell for a bit but I stopped for a year and forgot everything and I started again a couple weeks ago and now I’m working on Claire de lune, so seeing this def is helping me not give up again , plus I have the same goal as you , to play Chopins ballade n.1 , plus a couple extras like the merry go round of life, and ALOT more. But hey you have gotten so dang far in that amount of time, congrats dude
Your video is great! It's evident that you're still working on achieving crisp and clean sound in your pieces, but considering you've only been playing for two years, your progress is amazing. Personally, after two years, I wasn't able to play at that speed! 😄 I've been playing for about seven years now, and I'm currently working on the pieces you played after just two years. 🙈 I suggest focusing on making the fast passages cleaner; perhaps dedicating more time to practicing these specific bars would help. Especially in Chopin's Ballade, where there are numerous fast passages, playing them cleanly is crucial as it can sound muddy and less pleasing to the ear when not executed well.
Turkish March❤
It's nice to see you upload a new video :)
Thank you !
Sounds really good for being self taught, I've been playing for 8 years and have been learning the Ballade No.1 for about a year and am only about 70% through it. Keep it up and you'll get there someday!
Thanks, good luck to you !
Haa I’ve tried it many times. I never seem to finish it…
The pain is caused by being far too stiff in the arms and wrists. The wrist joint must be FREE to move! Seat height is important.
I wish I had you as a student… so many ideas are coming into my mind to help you. Bless you! I was originally self taught and I understand what you are going through.
I loved how you played especially bink's no sake, requiem for a dream and waltz in c minor
OMG you are really great, I look forward to ur new videos 😲
Amazing progress!
Some tips are maybe if you aren't doing music theory you could learn some of the basics as it can help a lot with sight reading, improvising and just generally knowing the structure and patterns of the piece.
I'm not sure how you practise but just in case you don't practise arppegios, scales and sight reading(which I'm doubting you don't) you should definitely practise them.
Practise slowly, one hand at a time and good luck with the rest of your piano journey!
bro keep up your work! your improvement is pretty good, i also want to start learning piano next year, your video really gave me hope!
Good decision
Great effort! I also used to hurt my wrists a lot while having long practice sessions. A thing that helped me a ton was static-dynamic stretching of my wrists. You literally just flick them around for a minute, do a wave motion by interlocking your fingers and moving your arms, and nudge in all directions to cover the full range of motion.
YOURE AMAZINGGG
No words can describe how much I'm proud....you really give us all a lesson to follow our dreams I have also a lot of pieces that I want to play someday and you inspired me to keep practicing I will be supporting you till you reach what do you want
Hope all the best for you and keep going ✨️ambitious✨️
Thank you for the motivation 😃
Thanks 🙏
Nice! I recently finished Liebestraum after almost 10 years of on/off playing, impressive progress!
Good job man, I'm also on my self teaching journey currently at less than a year. You definitely seemed to have put crazy hours in man
Yeah for sure but the most important is to play every day, good luck to you for your journey
Amazing progress for 2 years! Self-taught here as well :)) Here are some insights on liebestraum no. 3:
Technically correct notes, you play most of it well, just a bit of polishing would do. Also, try playing around with fluctuating dynamics and tempo. It enhances the depth and vibrance of the melody. Fluidity and control! Bringing out the emotions of the melody is the hardest, imo. To breath life into this piece is truly a dream of love, can't wait to hear you play this again! Good luck!
Ok thank you !
I set the same goal, and have also been playing two years. You're miles better than I am though, excellent progression, I love to see how far you've come through this video. You progressed a hell of a lot faster than I did. Except my goal changes a lot, right now it's Mephisto Waltz (No .1, Liszt), but it was Prelude in G minor, or Moonlight Sonata, or La Campanella. Overall great progress, you can hit Ballade no 1, you got this!
Wow, maybe I should do this too when I get more free time, this actually gave me motivation that I can do it too. I always wanted to formally learn but because of school and work I could only play for fun… my fingers are also short so its a struggle to play
I noticed that you started on quite difficult pieces, that’s honestly a great job
this reminds me of my friend who is learning violin for 2 years and he also has made insane progress, nice
Really good progress man, a lot of people might not believe you but i know it is possible from my proper experience. Keep doing this great and you Will play One day the ballade no1 !
Thanks bro I hope so !
That first “no” was so relatable lol! I am also a self taught piano player, I play and improvise piano by ear only😊😌proud of you!
I wish I could play by ear that’s sick
Well played!
Ur actually amazing!!! I’d say that for the Liebestraum, focus on bringing the voicing out more and keeping everything else down. Also practice the second cadenza slow and break it into groupings and then connect the groupings after they’re even. Keep up the good work 💪
actual unit right here folks 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
keep on that grind king 👑
good playing, but the room you play in is such a vibe
bro ur motivation is insane
holy shit bro thats good progress
I was originally going to comment that my only critique would be to watch your hand position (e.g. fingers sticking up that aren't playing) but by the end you had even fixed that so bravo. This is incredible to watch.
I don’t I totally fixed it but I’m working on it yes
you are very talented. however, its the little things you need to work on. there's no need to rush to advanced pieces, for example when you played fantaisie impromptu i couldn't help but notice that you were having troubles with the polyrhythms. my point is you should take it slow and use the potential that you have. you play very well.
It’s not really a desire to rush things, i just started piano just for fun and try to play some pieces i love even if i play it badly.
But i agree it’s a really bad way to learn how to play, i thought it wasn’t for me or that was to late so i didn’t take it enough seriously
You're learning faster than the most.
It took me 10 years to do the Rach op. 23 no. 5. Your progress is amazing!
Thanks !
how can u believe it's real?
@@fabiore1672i know right like I’m just trying to find the first person to comment how absurd this is 💀💀. Learning the Rach prelude itself takes about at least months of practice as someone who has experience.
@@diegodelgado4359 Yea I think this video might be fake
@@diegodelgado4359 also the fact that for most of these pieces he just cuts the video before the hardest parts like in rondo alla turca for example but still i dont think that it's fake because sometimes by his hands or overall the rythm you can see that he clearly dosn't know what he is soing sometimes however it's still a good progress for a selfthought pianist
lol just started piano too with the main goal on being able to play that song. Hoping I can progress as fast as you!
This is genuinely so impressing bro! You need to make a video on how you taught yourself.
Amazing!
It's looking great, your progress is excellent, quite faster than mine, I've been play one year and I'm currently learning Nocturne no20 in C sharp minor
Thanks, good choice it’s a great piece
@@RoadToChopinBalladeno1 Thanks, although it's kind of hard to control the voices and to keep the polyrhythm sounding good
This is truly amazing! Well done!!!! I would say for advice - rhythm is a big one. I can hear that the synchronisation of your hands is just a bit out some of the time, but you’re still doing very very well especially for only 2 years
Yes I know I have to work on rythm but it seems very difficult I struggle a lot
6 months into teaching myself. I’m 16 and still cannot play at greatly as I’m aiming for, but I’m playing! My goal for this is to try to get the full song of liebestraum mastered, no matter how long. Great video, the progress you’ve made is phenomenal! Keep it up!!
man ive been playing for 7 years and tbh youre almost as good as me, if you keep practicing youre gonna be actually amazing!! good luck with your practice!!
Thanks !
@@RoadToChopinBalladeno1 of course! can’t wait to see your progress!
omg, awesome bro, i've been playing piano for 2 years as well in a music school and now im playing river flows in you:)
Awesome bro
I just finished learning Chopin's first Ballade. :)
If you find a teacher, it would mean a lot for your playing. If not its ok because you are already doing good.
not me and my ten years of piano experience watching this and crying internally
I think you played very well! I started learning the piano in 2020 simply because I was bored, and guess what I also started with Turkish march. I discovered I had some talent for piano and particularly liked classical music,Fast forward 4 years now I’ve been taking piano lessons for 3 years now and I like to learn the pieces by heart, not through notes. Although I am able to read notes I still prefer just learning it by heart. Now I wouldn’t have known my love for the piano if I didn’t have that keyboard, TH-cam and boredom around…
i play piano for 8 years and i still can't played Fantasie Impromptu but this dude did it in like a few months
Bro well done, I've played piano for 5 ish years now and have one piece of advice. Keep your wrists up for more controle. You are doing incredible!!!!!
2 years of absolute dedication! This is my fifth year learning the piano and i finally finished Ballade 1! I bet you can do it on your 3rd year because i was slacking off on my third and fourth year xd
I’m going to wait a bit longer I think 😂
I started learning piano by myself with some help from my dad and his friend like 4 months ago, and I think I made pretty good progress, my goal is to learn Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement one day, so wish me luck, and congratulations my man, keep going and good luck with your goal!
finnaly someone who didn't take 2 years to learn fur elise, great job dude! im heading the same direction rn (17 and just picked up lessons) and during past month learned turkish, fur elise (not perfect), some anime ops and my goal by next year is unravel (cover by animenz)
hey first of all your progress is amazing ! just some little tips : try to really keep your hands "round" and not too flat and also you may have too much "tension" in your arms wrists and hands so try to keep them more loose if that makes sense. Try to also really make your fingers work cause ive noticed that they are often "laying" on the keyboard and that your wrists go too much up and down sometimes and sometimes your fingers dont go all the way down when pressing the keys. And as someone who has been playing the piano for 6-7 years at a music school, you are really great at playing the piano so keep going !!
I have started to play marriage de amour first and second movement on 4th month of learning piano, but then started getting back pains and stopped playing piano, and here i am 8 month later, still playing just those 2 movements 😢...
If this is real, this is great progress for 2 years!! I'd say a little of your playing sounds like there's some tension so try staying loose and maybe not keep the fingers so flat in some places! Remember tension comes from un proper usage of your muscle or over exertion so remember breaks are okay too. Some things just need a little more fluidity to so if you could find a teacher I think it would really help! But anyways really great job!!! This is amazinggg!
WTF bro, im learning piano in schools for 7 years. I'm really, really impress of how fast you improve your piano skills !!! Never stop !!!
Thanks !
I agree with what others have been saying about bringing out the melody, and also the idea of maybe slightly interpreting the pieces of how do you want to evoke a particular emotion with your music. Also, if you ever find yourself with an opportunity to practice on an acoustic piano, it might allow you to create greater nuance between the notes.
Not bad! Keep it up!! I would recommend not forcing yourself so much to the point u get so sore, also try to perfection your favorite pieces, don’t leave them behind because they’re too hard or long. (Like Fantasie Impromptu)
Hehe t'es chaud beau gosse, hâte de voir le progrès :)
Merci gars
Hey, as a 11 years pianist first progress video that got me really impressed. Keep up the good job 🎉🎉❤
Thank you !
@@RoadToChopinBalladeno1 hey if you need coaching I will glad to help :)
I'm a 14 years old boy, who has passion in music, thought I have a teacher but I really want to learn pieces in your video as well as being able to teach myself. Your skills remarkably developed throughtout the years, keep up with the great work. Hope someday I can play Fantasie Impromptu
Amazing
(advises below)
It's absolutely incredible to stumble upon this video as I pretty much got the exact same start, started self taught at 18 and now (6 years later) 75% of the way through learning the first ballade (just finished the valse/scherzo bit 9 months after starting learning the piece). I diverged a bit from your path as I stoped being self taught after 1 year, here are the pieces in order I played to get there (these can serve as "biteable" chunks to get to these kind of pieces).
Self taught
- Für Elise
- Turkish march
- Clair de Lune
- Chopin nocturne op 9 no 2
- Fantaisie Impromptu
- Chopin etude op 10 no 12
- moonlight sonata 3rd movement
(here got cut off at the beginning as I met my teacher who cut bad habbits of playing with flat hands, correct tension... , and learning how to actually read sheets to play with a "correct" interpretation (as written on the sheet))
- Schubert Impromptu 4
- Scales and arpegios and Chanon exercices... (mostly to correct slopy technique and fingers)
- bach prelude in c minor
- Rachmaninoff prelude in c sharp minor
- Schubert impromptu no 2
- Clair de Lune (again to correct bad interpretation)
- Chopin op 64 no 2
- Fantaisie impromptu (again to correct bad interpretation)
- Bethoven pathetic sonata (in the following order : 3, 2, 1)
- Chopin etude op 10 no 12 (gotta work on the left hand)
- Chopin etude op 25 no 1
- Liebestraum
- Chopin etude 25 no 12
- Moonlight sonata 3rd movement
- Chopin ballade no 1
As tips to save time and things I wished I knew from the very beginning, the most important thing when learning technique is to ELIMINATE TENSION ! This is also the best advice I can give for the 1st ballade, the A major section to the coda is incredibly physically demanding, so if you waste energy in tension, you won't be able to do the whole piece in one smooth run... I think this is what you are experiencing right now (cf 12:35 ), it's hard to explain how to fix this in a youtube comment but here is a try:
-For fast passages flatten a bit your fingers (this can be seen with scales, try for instance f sharp major, since you articulate less it's way smoother and can smoothly be played at 200+ bpm this way, or even the weird g minor melodic scale descend at the end of the first ballade...) , jumps over thumb tucks for arpegios.
-For chords, use the wrist and not the fore arm (especially octaves, look at the end of hungarian rhapsodie 6 for a concrete example of the proper technique), always try to play chords in a relaxed way, if you feel tension it's either that you have a small hand span (cheer up in that case), or you are rotating your wrist wrong (a good practise for that is the part you played starting from 15:00 to 15:50).
Then for technique, chopin etudes pretty much are the best exercises I know of, if you want to perfect a specific technique, play the corresponding etude (you don't have to play the whole piece if you are not a professionnal pianist, as long as you get the gist of it and genuinly understand how to properly play said technique, you can move on). Anyway, good luck on the adventure to conquer the first ballade, it's an arduous one, but the journey is worth it.
p.s. The coda's difficulty is overated, if you master the "eliminate tension" part, the right hand of the coda is the easiest thing ever, the true beast of this piece is the A major section (octave runs bar 119-124 are bs, bar 110-111 rounds are impossible to hold, bar 113 Right hand is nonsense).
Thanks for the advice !
1 year and you're able to play Fantaisie Impromptu, I'm incredibly proud of you
I also started self teaching my self at 10 years old and now I’m about to turn 14 hopefully I achieve as much as you did 🎉
Well done
Thanks
hello i want to say you motivated me so much so i will start playing again tomorrow :D actually i got a piano at 14 and i played for like 1 month i learned moonlight sonatas 3rd movement revolutionary etude and fantaisie impromtu ( but ofc it was bad because i cant read sheet music) so im not playing anymore but thanks to you i will start playing againn
😂
If you still need advice for liebestraum, try playing the part at 14.40 a bit more controllably/slowly because in this video the melody is moving slower than the other notes so correct that and it will sound 10x better.
thats so amazing ngl!
i've been self taught my self for 2 years too and i can only play turkish march instead of every music that you can play just in 2 years 😂
Wow that's really good after 2 years self-taught, if you want maybe some fairly general advice try to manage the sustain pedal better so you don't get that fuzzy feeling in some piano pieces. For pieces of the calibre of Liebestraum no.3 or Fantasy Impromptu, try to play a lot with your wrist and the whole extension of your arm (elbow + shoulder) so that your playing is lighter and also so that it's easier for you to play those fast parts that go over several octaves or even when you want to give power (forte). Generally speaking, playing with your wrist is a great help in interpreting your piano pieces, and shows the difference between someone who knows how to play a piece and someone who knows how to play it well ;) Interpretation as such will come later with experience and the story behind the different piano pieces! Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot for the advice, I'm already trying to play more with the wrist but it comes slowly, I’ll pay more attention to it
its hard to find someone who tries hard enough by themselves these days. good jobb. its like you are going to reach a diploma level within the next couple months if you you keep going at this rate. have funnn~ Also, be more confident in yourself when you play; add greater emotionns into your wrist. match the original emotion
This is so great! I’m planning on documenting my piano skill as well! I was wondering if you had tips on how to play two different tempos at the same time?
Wow, this is incredible for 2 years self-taught. Heck, this is even incredible for 3 years with a good teacher.
It took me at least 8 years of private lessons to get this good. I’ve already seen good technical advice in other comments so I won’t add any, but one thing I will add is: if possible, try playing chamber music! I promise you playing collaboratively is one of the greatest experiences you can have as a musician, and there is so much chamber repertoire out there with amazing piano parts. I’d personally recommend starting with the 1st movement of Mozart’s G minor piano quartet. Just see if you can find any good string players near you and ask if they’ll play it with you. It also really helps to get a private teacher, because along with massively boosting your progress, it can also help get you the connections to give you more opportunities for collaborative work.
That’s a good recommendation, I don’t feel comfortable enough to play with other musicians especially cause of my lack of rythm, but you’re right that’s how we progress
Chopin's Ballade is a BEAUTIFUL Piece! I Hope You Will Play It Well SOon!!!
Wow! You learned a LOT in 2 years. Your 3 months is most of my students after several years! You are doing great! How much do you practice daily? I strongly recommended getting a highly qualified teacher. You will learn good technique to avoid injury and with your talent you will excel and play that Chopin Ballade soon!!
