Your explain the idea precisely. Very helpful. Thanks a lot
Your ideas very lucid but I wish audio louder
I am loving these videos you are posting recently. I have subscribed just based on these alone 😊.
Thank you I appreciate it!
Pretty amazing how fast and effortless you play these Chopin etudes ... i wonder what your thoughts are on the Chopin A minor "Chromatic" etude 🤔 How one should approach and/or practise the piece 🤔
Are you currently working on it? Is it your first attempt at Chopin etude? Tell me a bit more and I can give you a proper response!
@@benwongpiano Hello, Dr Wong, thank you for the reply.
Yes, i have been working on the "chromatic" etude, and other etudes from Chopin. It seems that this etude i have the most difficulty with. Usually i dont have too much trouble with adapting too Chopin pieces, but i suppose its a subjective thing, differs from person to person and their current level they are at.
With this one i noticed the tension building up on the top of the hand that is playing the chromatic legato with fingers 3/4/5 + the broken chords with the thumb and index finger. Ussualy when i arive at the "B" (middle) section of the piece, i cant continue on cause of the build up pain/tension on the right hand.
I understand that the advice is always play tension or stress free, but, for some reason the tension sneaks in with so much going on with the right hand that has to play legato continuously thoughout the piece.
Sometimes you can "cheat" by using different fingering at some sections, but i want to stick to Chopins original fingerings.
Thats why i wondered, how someone like you would approach a (difficult) piece like this.
Thank you :)
Based on your description, I kind of know how I can help you. Let me look into the etude today and get back to you later!
Try releasing the 3rds (almost play them as if they were staccato) while you play the scale in the right hand. I think most of the tension comes from people trying to hold on to the 3rds. For the 4545 parts, try a bit of rotation instead of just using the fingers. Let me know if that helps.
@@benwongpiano Rotation on the 4545 fingerings to get rid of the potential tension that builds up ... thank you, i will try that.
The etude, to the listener, sounds like a cute, easy song to master, but its quite devilishly difficult to play it clean, even and legato all through to the end
Maestro what exercises book do you suggest?tank you. Roberto from Rome
Dear Roberto, you can just call me Ben! What is your goal? I usually stay away from exercise books but focus a lot of scales, arpeggios and cadences. Please give me more info so I can better answer your questions 😊
Ben prima di tutto grazie per la risposta!i tuoi video sono fatti Troppo bene .sono un MD in pensione. Sono Fondamentali! altri video sono troppo lunghi etc. Tu spieghi Veramente quello che va fatto e come va fatto. Scusa se scrivo in italiano
Well first of all thanks for the reply!Your videos are made too well.I am a retired MD. They are Fundamental! other videos are too long etc. You really explain what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. Sorry if I write in Italian
@@benwongpiano Well, your lessons are done very well. My goal is to do little, I don't have much time, but it must be done well, without pain, tendonitis, etc.
@@robertobettini1470 playing piano should be comfortable and knowing how to use your whole body to play is really the key to effortless playing.
