Hello thank you for your expertise I really appreciate your feedback and I’m gonna Pin your comment so people can see the corrections! I love music and studied commercial music and piano performance, not music history specifically it’s just an interest of mine as a pianist. So I’m definitely NOT an expert but I’m learning more everyday and I learned something from you and I hope others can too. Thanks again 😀

And yes I agree with your comment regarding western music. When I’ve taken western music history courses in the past usually we will spend 1-2 weeks on Hildegard and Gregorian Chant ETC and breeze through 300-400 years before “starting” in the baroque era so I agree that is hubris and a common mistake I’ve made and since learned from haha

Thank you for pointing that out haha. One of my goals of making UA-cam videos is to become better at articulating myself and sharing my thoughts with good language. So I really do appreciate that. Hope you have a good day 😃

Yes I totally agree - or everything will start to sound the same as the AI models reach similar conclusions. And I often play piano with backing tracks on drums but it would be cool to have an AI player who could respond in real time - thanks for your comment!

@@JordanEvansMusic Yes great point too about it sounding the same through AI models and I think this will determine the difference between real art , but again yes it would be great to have something AI as quick for real time performances and could track notes being played as they are hit, that would be awesome with out any noticeable latency :)

I didn’t think of that but that is a terrible thing. And I imagine that is going to effect artists/illustrators and writers significantly- I hope they pass laws soon to protect intellectual property from AI

Thanks for your input!

You’re too kind! I subbed to your channel I like your stuff hope the band is doing well. I am a swimmer and still try and swim a 2-3 miles a week that’s the secret haha

@@JordanEvansMusic I frikkin' knew it! I appreciate that Jordan! Keep killin' it my friend!

Yes and over time all the AI generated music will reach the same conclusions I imagine. And yes Bach is my favorite composer so I always look to give a shout out haha. Thanks for your comment I appreciate you stopping by!

Hey that’s AMAZING. Piano as a secondary will make you stronger in whatever else you play. If you have any specific areas you need help in let me know and I might make a video about it!

I’ve heard it both ways!! You’re probably right. Hope you come BAK

That's right. It's pronounced [bax] not [bak]. The phoneme [x] is also present in the Scottish word 'loch' /lɒx/.

@@TonyBittner-Collins That's right - Scottish word 'loch' /lɒx/.Besides.....sometimes it is helpful to start to listen to the other languages, and pay attention to the pronunciation....In this case GERMAN.....

That’s an interesting comparison!! I think Bach’s contribution to music has completely formed how we have created music for the last 300 plus years. Pop and contemporary music today is heavily influenced by the musical elements Bach pioneered. Whereas I believe AI will change how music is created and listen to in the future for better or worse. Thanks for you comment I really appreciate your engagement 😃

Nope

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I’m planning on getting back into making UA-cam videos consistently - I am a full time music teacher/musician let me know if there is anything you’d like me to make a video about!

Hey thanks for your comment and let me see if I can offer some advice… You’ve made some amazing observations and you are really thoughtful about practice. I love comparing stuff like this to improving at weightlifting - you’re not gonna go from 20 lbs to 100 lbs - over weeks, months, and years you’re gonna go from 20 to 25 to 30 to 35 maybe 35 again then 40 etc… So metronome is a GREAT way to train ourselves and move up in small increments- so try going from 80 and do that for a few days then do 85 for a few days and then 90. As you approach 109 you can even go from 100 to 102 for example. It’s also good to work on technique like scales and arpeggios using a metronome and really focus on keeping your wrists relaxed and make sure you fingers are doing all the work. If you practice those techniques during your warm ups it will become effortless when you’re playing the pieces. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to improve so quickly you can take your time! Slow consistency will add up and you’ll be shocked at what you can achieve!!

@@JordanEvansMusic Thanks for the tips. The reason I was sort of confused was because I noticed Glen Gould would play the parts at normal speed, stop at mistakes, and repeat until he got it. But that' Glen Gould LOL.... You're correct about fingers instead of wrist. I stopped using wrist, which I read in some forum and wondered, and much better now. I also have carpal tunnel which doesn't help Thanks

If you are new to Bach you should certainly not start with the Partitas but with easier polyphonic pieces. I would suggest you master first a couple of 2 voice Inventions, followed by a few 3 voice Sinfonias before venturing into the Partitas, which are much more complex from a composition and polyphonic voicing perspective. Several of the French or English Suites are also simpler than the Partitas.

@@ampac So here is the problem so far, I was wrong and I'm up to 88bpm and when i record and speed up to 109 it sounds exactly like Gould or others. But when I try 90+ my left hand can't do 1/8th notes or faster. It's almost like my fingers freeze or something and I have to use my wrist and play incorrectly by lifting my wrist to do it. But it's fine in 1/8 notes and slower. The other problem is my neighbors complain so I'm using a $50 synth but it is weighted keys but there is no sustain so I have to hold the notes with my fingers because it's so choppy and that slows me down too. the way I see it, it could take weeks to get up to 100+. Thanks for help

Thanks so much!! I’m gonna be getting back into making all kinds of videos in the future about music theory, history, practicing, what it’s like working full time in music ETC. let me know if you have any suggestions for me I really appreciate your input!!

Those are great thoughts!! I plan on making more videos like this in the future and I’ll try that out. Either way I appreciate you stopping by and giving me some constructive feedback I’m always happy to learn 😄

@@JordanEvansMusic I appreciate you dedicating these videos to classical music.

Then make your own video

@@DesignEcologies Wow! So original. Is that what you do?

@@JordanEvansMusic It was great as it was

Both 😅. I do have a commercial music degree and my focus was piano performance but I definitely am not an expert in classical music and drums/percussion is actually my primary instrument. But I work now as a piano teacher and mostly work as a collaborative pianist so I spend most of my time doing piano - definitely not an expert/master but I love sharing what I have learned! Thanks for your comment 😄

Thanks for you kind words!!

Hey I will listen to it - thank you for the recommendation!! I really appreciate you leaving a comment 😄

@@JordanEvansMusic Hi Jordan, thank you for your channel, and for making Bach's music more visible and approachable. Do you know about the Netherlands Bach Society UA-cam channel? The NBS has been uploading hundreds of performances of Bach's music on period instruments. Their goal is to record and post ALL of Bach's works. The performances range from excellent to sublime -- check it out!

Thanks for your kind words :)

That is an INCREDIBLE piece of music. Thank you for sharing - if you post a video let me know 😀

It’s amazing what becomes more effortless once you master the techniques. I had some friends in college who played classical guitar and it BLOWS MY MIND. Too much for me to wrap my head around haha - thanks for stopping by!

Yes I agree some of his music is extremely difficult - try the prelude in C major! Even as a beginner you’ll start to see the patterns!

Hello thanks! I’m in a band with a string section and I post the arrangements here so they can hear them 😊

Hey Ken, thank you for your feedback I love hearing from others and your comment is appreciated by me. I made this video a while back and have learned a lot since then and probably would change a lot of ways I taught this video in hindsight. But my goal in making UA-cam videos is to help others and I think this video is helpful. I work full time in music and spend a lot of time teaching, I have 46 private students for drums and piano at the moment. So no university teaching for me but maybe in the future 😃

I just realized this is your second time visiting my video and taking the time to comment so thank you! I take it as a great compliment you would take the time to give me feedback on several occasions!
