@@pianocheckpoint I've subscribed to your channel and found you have done many wonderful pieces. I shall certainly learn some of them once I finished this Adagio.
@@paulschipper9428 thank you so much!! The adagio is not that easy and I remember the needed several attempts to make it! Have fun with this wonderful piece!
Thanks very much for your comment. This piece is really a real gem and it’s so heartwarming! Btw I re-recorded it and did some research and based on a viewer’s comment I corrected a few ornaments here and there. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/ZICHRfvTamQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uQlPZemtSlFVanpO
Sir, First of all, thank you, because I know it takes a lot of time to make this type of video (very educational). I have the score, and it allowed me to precisely note the "beats and off-beats" because I wasn't very sure of my rhythmic precision. (especially on the slightly complicated measurements), for me at least. At least I will be able to work calmly, not only on the piece but on my rhythmic precision. (excellent exercise in fact). You are the only one who "counts" and that obviously brings us a lot from what I have read in the comments. Have a nice day to you and everyone " From France !!! " Michel-Henri (I use "translate.google" hoping that there are not too many errors..but it seems quite precise because I have already had answers in French which were very correct)
Thank you very much for your message, I was very pleased. Unfortunately I don't count in all the videos, sometimes only the metronome is running, but if counting is more helpful than the metronome, I can go back to only counting in the future, or combine the metronome and counting. That might be the idea from the combination. Thank you very much for your feedback. If you need help, please do not hesitate to contact me. The translation is absolutely ok. I use it all the time because I am German speaking (with 9 years of French at school😅)
That is great to hear! Congratulations that you could solve the problems in the bars you mentioned. Let me know if you need a specific classical piano piece!
@@tomyvrosales3535 Hi Tomy Thanks very much for your comment. Did you see that I have a revised version of this piece? Look here: th-cam.com/video/ZICHRfvTamQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tNv5QMSZIioJsCG3 Let me know if you need any help.
Wow, thanks - my teacher always told me I should read, not guess, and there are one or two bits I've been doing wrong! I was amazed to see/hear the C natural at bar 24. I wonder if there's a consensus about which Bach intended. I now need to find this with the C natural at performance tempo, although I can't see it turning me on. This slow tempo will be very useful for beginners, but, if you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, I would consider being a little more consistent with the trills - some you miss entirely, others you do quite differently from how they're written - and maybe they ought to be slower, in keeping with the slower tempo.
Thank you very much for your message and your comment. This Bach Marcello is one of the older recordings I've made on this channel. And when I look back at the videos I've made, I always think that it could be done even better. I remember having a music edition back then that was not always quite correct, especially with the ornaments. I really appreciate your constructive and kind criticism. The trills are really not quite ideal - admittedly 😉. That's why I decided to re-record the whole piece and listen to some of the recordings and compare the execution of the trills. The thrillers are often done in different ways, except maybe the murder one, and somehow I have to decide on a good and justifiable version. I never thought that this would be one of the videos that people would watch the most. Another reason to go back over the books and re-record the whole thing. Thank you very much for your input. It taught me a lot again. I will also play the whole piece in tempo, but I have to expect that there will be another copyright reference. See you soon and best regards
@@pianocheckpoint Thank you very much for your detailed reply! I only just found your channel and this was the first of your videos I've watched. I'm currently learning the piece.

Thank you very much! I'm learning this adagio. How would I figure it out? But some questions remain in small details. I watched a lot of educational videos of this adagio. I even saw how they played the 30th bar with an error. But I never found out anything. And only in your video, Checkpoint, I found out all the details. What else I want to note. Even when playing at a slow tempo, you play expressively. Very clearly visible, trills and mordents. And your instrument sounds very beautiful. Greetings from Russia. Sorry for the inaccuracy of words, I am writing through a translator. Большое спасибо! Разучиваю это адажио. Как бы разобрался. Но остались некоторые вопросы в мелких деталях. Пересмотрел много учебных видео этого адажио. Даже увидел как играют с ошибкой 30-й такт. Но так ничего и не выяснил. И только в вашем видео, Checkpoint, я все детали выяснил. Что еще хочу заметить.

@@АндрейЗорин-е7г thanks so much! Highly appreciated! Btw I am recording classical piano music also on request from time to time. Let me know if you need something!
@@pianocheckpoint I wrote you an answer. Now I don’t see him, he’s disappeared somewhere. I will repeat Thank you! If I have any questions, I will definitely write to you. My piano lessons began with a passion for classical music. It's a shame I didn't do this sooner. I've never played other musical instruments before. I didn’t even think that an adult would be able to learn to play the piano - this must be learned from childhood. But one musician - an organist told me - it’s never too late to learn. And so, at the age of 58, I sat down on the piano keyboard for the first time. It will be 2 years in June. At first I tried to learn on my own, using video tutorials for beginners. This is not to say that I didn’t succeed, but I realized that it would take a long time, with a lot of mistakes, and that I would give up music studies altogether. That's why I went to children's music school (my city is not big, we don't have a music school for adults). I have a very good teacher, she graduated from the conservatory. Of course she taught me. But I want to make faster progress. As they say, rely on the teacher, but don’t give up on yourself)) After 5 days of working with adagio with the help of your video (the last two days, I turned on the laptop and played a duet with you) today I went to school for a lesson. My teacher was delighted with how much I had progressed. She praised me.
@@АндрейЗорин-е7г Thank you very much for your message. It really is never too late to start playing an instrument. The difficult thing is always to find a good teacher in whom you have confidence. As an adult, you always have the idea of how quickly you should progress. It is often not easy to accept that, despite being an adult, learning to play a musical instrument takes a lot of time. You can do a lot of things in your life without thinking and then suddenly it becomes difficult and you only make slow progress. It takes a lot of strength, energy and perseverance. The fact that you started playing the piano at your age is the only right thing to do and I congratulate you on this decision. In my opinion, slow playing is very often underestimated. Basically, you should be able to memorize the piece at a slow tempo. Ideally, your head, your knowledge, is always ahead of your hands when playing and not behind. You should always be aware of this and if you notice that your hands are faster than your thoughts, put on the brakes! It's always worth it! I am happy that my tutorials are helping you and that you subscribed to my channel!
