    EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: This will change the way we think of Für Elise forever. Professor and world-touring pianist Roberta Rust, who has the most sensitive touch and musicality, performed this standard as part of the live streamed recital at Jane's home on April 11, 2021.

    I've seen a ton of youtube video tutorials on classical piano pieces and yours is by far the best. Just a whole different level in terms of demonstration, speed, and timing to allow those myself included to learn it at a slower pace than those who pick it up fast.Thank you.

    Jane, I have said this multiple times, and yes I didn't forget I will be posting my version of Solfeggio learned off of your videos. Yes I was taught that song a long time ago. But your unconventional concrete lessons are very easy to understand and fairly well put together.
    so, I hope you keep the motivation to keep these coming! they are very useful for even the intermediate level players. :3 keep it up!

      You're very welcome! Because I started this project 14 years ago, the most liked pieces were done long ago with obsolete software and hardware. Adding scores to these poorer quality videos is unsatisfactory. I would need to redo them completely. Which pieces did you have in mind? Make me a list? Please double check my website first, because I have remade a few.

    Dear Jane, I watched the video of you teaching the fur Elise in slow motion, which is great quality to help learners like me to learn how to play the favourite sound tracks. However, I just want to ask a question, there are some part of the track why on the same notes, you change your fingers to press on them? or even using fingers on the left hand under the right hands? Is there any purposes of it? I watched other play and they do the same thing, I have no idea or answer to this why???? (Silly me????? I found it confused and funny however I am curious and serious want to know.) Please can you explain to further my understanding and confusing? Thanks.

    • @janepianotutorials
      @janepianotutorials  4 роки тому

      Dear Nguyen Mai, your question is not at all silly. The answer would be clear if one were following the score (sheet music). It tells us which hand to use. You can download a free copy on IMSLP. The hand positions enable better continuity and does make it more fun to watch. Hope you will study my sight-reading lessons. Then practice reading at least 5 minutes a day, that’s the only way to get better at it.

      The first part of this piece doesn’t require much technique. You can just listen, observe, then imitate. To learn classical piano seriously, start with my sight-reading lessons, practice one set of scales each week, and practice pieces that you like.

    I was really intimidated by the level 4 pieces on your website (haven't learned a new song in years), and felt disheartened. But seeing that this song, a song I know very well, being designated a level 5 has filled me with the self-confidence to try and make an effort to get back to it. Not to ask how the sausage gets made, but what do these levels mean?

    • @janepianotutorials
      @janepianotutorials  4 роки тому +1

      Levels are less meaningful for adult learners. Many of my tutorial users have jumped right into advanced pieces with success (they don't read music, they imitate my finger movement and memorize). When young students take private lessons, each year they are assigned pieces, 1st yr level 1, 2nd yr level 2, and so on. My levels are estimates. You can experiment this way: choose a line of the piece that looks difficult to you and just practice that line (15 minutes a day for a week?) If you can learn it without too much frustration, that means you can learn the entire piece. Do you read music? That is the purpose of my project.

    We all know what we all ow to Jane’s daily dedication for making tutorials for tastes and all levels of piano music.
    The figures can’t lie : 112 656 subscribers 74 093 753 views… That tells a lot. Doesn’t it?
    Dozens of us have requested tutorials from Jane and where very pleased when she duly delivered them.
    Many have expressed their thanks. Meaning many of us owe much much more than $1 worth of gratitude to Jane.
    Any objection?
    So please guys, now is the time to show your gratitude to Jane. The money is not going to fill Jane’s wallet. Instead, it will help a very deserving young man to perfect his skills the same way many of you are lucky enough to do with the piano you owe.
    No act generosity there. This is will only show your gratitude to Jane.

    • @janepianotutorials
      @janepianotutorials  7 років тому +8

      On the contrary, that is an important question! Yes, applying the sustain pedal makes the sound more pleasing. Experiment holding different time lengths. Holding the pedal too long causes "muddiness", that would sound annoying. Under-pedaling is preferable to over-pedaling. Key is to listen. Some editors include pedaling notation ("P" for pedal) under the bass staff. Check imslp.org. Go down the list of editions (use preview) and choose ones with pedal markings.

    Hi Jane
    I hope you are doing well.
    Have you ever heard Melissa from Raúl di Blasio?
    It's a sweet and nice piece.
    Could you make a tutorial about that song?

      Imitation certainly works, but then you learn just this one piece. Try the first few notes by imitating my fingers and you will convince yourself that it works. However, to seriously learn piano and to become independent, we must learn to read music. I made sight-reading lessons for you. Study those, then it would be easier to follow my tutorials.

    "Für Elise" was actually published some 40 years after Beethoven's death. It's popularity stems from the fact that it's an easy piece and parents are delighted to have their children play Beethoven in front of their friends... :)))
    As easy as it is technically that piece can be butchered if played without highlighting its different contrasting parts and its various nuances especially in the middle part.
    As of its popularity, I know many composers were upset by the fact people showed excessive interest to works they considered less worth popularity that others...
    Beethoven was annoyed at the success of the “Moonlight” sonata, which he considered less good than others. Comparing it with the piano sonata No. 24 in F sharp major he had just completed, he said to his friend Czerny: "We are still talking about the sonata in C sharp minor, but I did much better, for instance the sonata in F sharp major is really something else.
    Sorry for elaborating so much on that topic :)))

    Hello! Can anyone tell me why in measure number 7 (and 21 and 58, and 102) of my edition (G. Henle Verlag (and here too : ua-cam.com/video/noAU3qDS1dA/v-deo.html)) it is a "D" that is written and not an "E" to the melody ( right hand) ? Who is right?

    • @janepianotutorials
      @janepianotutorials  5 років тому +1

      Beethoven might have not drawn the note clearly in his manuscript, so editors had to make a guess whether the note was in a space or on a line. There is no right or wrong, play the note that sounds better to you? Chopin editions vary the most! His manuscripts must be difficult to decipher...

      The mystery deepens! Your latest comment led me to check Wikipedia:
      The score was not published until 1867, 40 years after the composer's death in 1827. The discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, affirmed that the original autographed manuscript, now lost, was dated 27 April 1810. The music was published as part of Nohl's Neue Briefe Beethovens (New letters by Beethoven) on pages 28 to 33, printed in Stuttgart by J. G. Cotta.
      The version of "Für Elise" heard today is an earlier version that was transcribed by Ludwig Nohl. There is a later version, with drastic changes to the accompaniment which was transcribed from a later manuscript by the Beethoven scholar Barry Cooper. The most notable difference is in the first theme, the left-hand arpeggios are delayed by a 16th note. There are a few extra bars in the transitional section into the B section; and finally, the rising A minor arpeggio figure is moved later into the piece. The tempo marking Poco moto is believed to have been on the manuscript that Ludwig Nohl transcribed (now lost). The later version includes the marking Molto grazioso. It is believed that Beethoven intended to add the piece to a cycle of bagatelles.
      The pianist and musicologist Luca Chiantore [es] argued in his thesis and his 2010 book Beethoven al piano (new Italian edition: Beethoven al pianoforte, 2014) that Beethoven might not have been the person who gave the piece the form that we know today. Chiantore suggested that the original signed manuscript, upon which Ludwig Nohl claimed to base his transcription, may never have existed. On the other hand, Barry Cooper wrote, in a 1984 essay in The Musical Times, that one of two surviving sketches closely resembles the published version.
