- Rachmaninoff's C-sharp Minor was so popular in his lifetime that audiences routinely demanded the composer play it as an encore. While its opening three notes and mysterious ensuring chords have achieved iconic status, the drama of the work depends on the Agitato middle section.
Join international virtuoso Claire Huangci as she tackles the tricky triplet figures in the middle section from a technical perspective, offering detailed insights on gaining facility and building speed.

Really excellent, straightforward thorough explanation. I'm a Piano teacher in Brazil and a couple of students of mine are currently learning this piece and those hints are priceless. The one about the big leap C to upper B on left hand to control urge to do it on Tempo was perfect!
Fantastic practical tips in such a short clip! She is such a great communicator and sympathetic teacher. I treasure a lot of Claire's Scarlatti Cds and I've just watched her fabulous performance of Bach Chaconne in D minor - its one of the very best versions I've seen.
i’m starting to discover her performances, and she’s absolutely brilliant and highly underrated. now i know as well that she gives excellent advice. what more is there to like?
A very lively instruction for professionals and amateurs alike. Thank you so much. Theses instructions open the mind to also better listen to and understand such pieces in general.
As Claudio Arrau said, any tension before the finger tip severs the connection between the music and the soul, and the wrist is often the culprit. I myself find that focusing specifically on a literal “hung” sensation in my wrist opens the sound.
So informative and helpful!!! Thank you very much - definitely subscribing ❤
Very informative and helpful! Surprised to learn about this channel and the platform. The subscriptions look very appealing for the high quality content. I hope this startup will fly.
I loved your way of teaching and I loved your interpretation of this peace!!! Thank you very much!! I wish you would be my teacher!!!
Explicaciones cortas y precisas. El apartado técnico (sonido, cámaras, luces) excelente y Claire, simplemente genial.
superb analysis and instruction.
Thank you🙏
My first “grown up” song (as I used to think of it)…such a fun one to play ❤️
This helps a lot! I’ve struggled with that passage for many a years
Don't think that I would get it in a life time! 😁
@@goscott444 neither! I’m still struggling 🥺
Really usefull thanks you
thankyou to you
Great instruction!!! Thank you. Cool haircut too
Thanks
I wish I had seen the trick with letting the left hand tackle that lower F#. Muscle memory with me makes this tough to change. I still struggle with the muscles in my right forearm getting sore when practicing this and despite everyone saying "loosen up", I still get tired. The last thing I'll say is that if you look at the music, you can see that the first note of each triplet (the melody) really should be accentuated as she says and held longer than the second two notes. My trick for accomplishing this is to, in a way, hum along with the melody as I play it. Somehow that helps me translate the proper hold times on my fingers. I was introduced to this piece as a kid with Sparky's Magic Piano and I think that's the reason I always wanted to play the piano - and this piece!
Interesting.
Great stuff, but a bit frustrating to never reach the climax after all this build up, haha. I guess there is less to say about the main theme, after all
Anyone else who was introduced to this marvelous piece by Igudesman and Joo's "Rachmaninoff had big hands" out there?
Hi her piano sounds amazing may i know what brand that is?
Good video, but I wish she would mention which bar numbers she is talking about.
I‘m learning this piece rn and it’s so hard 😭
What pieces did you learn before this piece
@@miekegreen3422i don’t remember dude
@@atako6560 did you finish it??
I have seen videos of people playing the D in the sixth measure as a flat is this optional? Does it depend on the sheet music?
When would you pedal on the middle section?
you dont
@@archerycraft1866 it sounds like Rachmaninov did tho
@@thibomeurkens2296 in my sheet music that I got from schirmers they don't show any pedaling.
@@archerycraft1866 there is an edition from piano street made for students with pedal markings and practice techniques. But if you listen to Rachmaninov play it sounds like he uses pedal to me th-cam.com/video/M5h8zWt3xA4/w-d-xo.html
thats with most classical pieces, they dont include pedal marking in piece@@archerycraft1866
I wanna hear her play Ray Charles
Can I take lesson from you?
Its not all about weak fingers but the distribution of weight with a supple wrist and the involvement of the upper arm and shoulders. Play slower and practice with absolute concentration.
Бля, жаль нет русских субтитров, очень полезное видео)
You should listen to Rachmaninoff play his piece himself-it is a speed contest.
Rakhmaninov a Russian legend🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 and Russian idol for many Russian musicians🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Why so harsh, though?
She slaps the keys.
It just the way she likes playing it
😮💨🫡😌🙂🙃
Simply too fast for me to follow.
Bruce Lee of piano
is that a compliment or a critic?
@@franciscowalker5104 🤣it’s a positive comment, I see why it can sound ambiguous. Bruce Lee trained hard, he was fast and accurate.
@@jorgeson3586 Thanks for dissipating my doubt and I agree with you! all the best!!
It was great and very educational but a lot of chatter instead of playing
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Oh these Asians!!
She may be a good musician but she does too many external body movements that have nothing to do with actual piano sound. And why is she using the music for the piece that she supposed to be REALLY familiar with to be able to teach. Just wondering.....
I don't get why her using a score should be a problem first of all? External movements. Why don't you just let people be?
I strongly believe that there is nothing wrong with using the score especially for reference purposes.
If you are teaching you should in fact have the score. It is necessary for referencing specific bars, indications, edition differences, whatever. And there is actually nothing bad in using the score in any other setting either; memorizing pieces (or rather performing without score) was one of Liszt's circus tricks that then everybody copied and became standard in piano performance. I think we've had enough of it and should let pianists play the way the feel most comfortable.
@@Facconti i mean its like taking flashcards to a presentation. And her movements is what makes her unique.
@@Facconti absolutely agree with you
