New Year 2025 Special (Shostakovich Waltz No. 2)
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you enjoyed the fireworks wherever you were. To celebrate the New Year, I'm sharing this popular waltz by Shostakovich. I already recorded this piece before with the falling hearts in red and pink because I published it sometime around Valentine's Day last year. So far, this is my favorite transcription of Shostakovich Waltz No. 2 despite the technical challenges it poses for those with small hands. I hope you will enjoy my performance and I wish you all a great 2025.

Merry Christmas! I recorded this today. I'm trying out a new format for next year. Since I already have this piece recorded, I figured I should show it in a different format. I always like to improve on old recordings whether it's on interpretation or technique. This one is slightly faster than the previously recorded one as well. Maybe that's a sign that my technique has improved. Actually, I ...
Tchaikovsky - Chinese Dance (transcr. Pletnev)

Here's another dance from the Nutcracker that is one of my favorite. This is also known as "Tea" from the second act of Nutcracker. I didn't edit out the wrong notes because I wish to prove that I'm a human and not an AI. The treacherous jumps in the middle section require one to have 4 eyeballs for real. LOL My first recording taken at a slower tempo was note-perfect but then I thought it was ...

Here's a popular piece from the Nutcracker Suite widely known as the "Russian Dance" or "Trepak" in Russian. Technical challenge involves lots of jumps and leaps similar to the style of Russian folk dancers depicted in this piece. It's very difficult to execute the leaps without mistakes. Playing by memory is a must. I will keep striving for a note-perfect performance as I plan to play this eve...
Debussy - Ondine

Since Halloween is just around the corner, I've decided to be a mermaid again this year. Therefore, I have prepared "Ondine" by Debussy. This one is lesser known than Ravel's Ondine which I shared on Halloween day the year before. (See the link below) This one is full of scintillating passages which tickle my ear every time. Which "Ondine" do you prefer? Feel free to let me know in the comments...

I haven't uploaded a Debussy piece in a while so here it is. I added the score for this piece however, let me know in the comments if you wish to see a visualized version. My Debussy Arabesque video did well so I got the sense that viewers may want more videos like Arabesque. This is one of my favorite preludes by Debussy which was composed in 1909. It's Debussy's impression of Anacapri, an Isl...

Hi everyone! Hope you're all well. It's been a while since I last uploaded here. As a slow learner of new pieces, I like to take my time absorbing and getting to know the piece.

Ravel -Scarbo (The most chilling piano music)
Переглядів 7759 місяців тому
Here's the final movement, 'Scarbo' from Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit. This movement depicts a shape-shifting dwarf/goblin who is lurking around at night and taunting the observer lying in bed. You can hear the goblin come and go throughout the piece. This is widely regarded as one of the most difficult pieces written for solo piano. Ravel wanted to write a piece that was more difficult that Bala...

Since it's the month of February, I'm dedicating this piece to my mother who celebrated her birthday on February 5th. She is a huge fan of André Rieu who is known for putting on an extravagant show with his orchestra.

    This is a such a beautiful piece, and I love to study how pianists play it. I have a question, I can’t tell, but it sometimes looks like you don’t always play the full interval from the right hand, sometimes it looks like you only play one of the notes from an interval (I compare your playing and the pletnev arrangement notes). From what I understand, we need to play each interval from the right hand. Yet It feels like it’s going to be difficult to play all the intervals at a fast pace later, so I have been lately a bit confused on how to play this piece. or do pianists play it differently than what I am currently doing? Beautiful playing by the way❤

    • @TonalPalette
      @TonalPalette 13 днів тому

      Hi. Thank you for listening and thank you also for your nice comment. Here's my technical approach regarding the intervals or so called double 6th/5th in the right hand in the first section. The bottom note of the interval should be played with less weight than the top note because the top note has the melody. In order to achieve this, you would have to place more weight on the top notes by leaning in. So yes, there won't be an equal weight on bottom and top notes of the interval so it can sound like the bottom note is not being played or left out. I strive to hit every note on the score because I'm a classical pianist who likes to follow the score. If the note didn't come out, that's a mistake that should be corrected. I plan to record this again using the recent format I shared. So please stay tuned.

    This is great! I was looking for fingering for the beginning part of the right hand. Do you use 1 3 and 2 4 on the ascending and descending double 4ths/5ths? Or do you jump the thumb up? I can’t tell. I have a small reach so 1 3 and 2 4 superrr tense

    • @TonalPalette
      @TonalPalette 20 днів тому

      Thank you. I alternate between 1 3, 1 4, 1 2, 2 5 and perhaps more. I can't tell what fingering would work best for you because I don't know your hand shape, size, technique, approach, etc. Fingering varies according to these factors. If you like some recommendation on what fingering works on your hand so that you can play without tension, we can meet online for a 1on1 session. Let me know if you're interested. Just send me a message to tonalpalette@yahoo.com

    안녕하세요 연주 너무 멋지십니다ㅎㅎ 혹시 손가락 번호가 적힌 악보가 있다면 구매 가능할까요? 제가 이곡을 너무 치고 싶은데 진도 나가기가 정말 너무 어렵네요.. This is amazing and i really appreciated it, if possible, can i get the sheet with finger number?? I am really having hard time with practicing this...

    • @TonalPalette
      @TonalPalette 2 місяці тому

      칭찬해줘서 고맙습니다. 손가락 번호가 적힌 악보는 이 피아노 수준엔 거의 없습니다. 손가락번호는 개인 손 크기와 개인의 테크닉에 적합하도록 결정하시면 됩니다. 저는 이 부분을 매우 주관적으로 봅니다. 그러니까 한 길, 한 답은 없다고 생각해요. 결론은 손가락 번호와 테크닉은 밀접한 관계가 있다고 봅니다. 본인의 손모양, 손크기, 테크닉, 등등 직접 목격할때까지는 응답하기가 힘든 부분입니다. 그래서 온라인 상담/레슨을 제안하고 싶습니다. 관심있으시면 저에게 이매일로 연락주세요. 이매일은 tonalpalette@yahoo.com 😀
