Reminds me of Chopin's repetitive notes in Valse Brillante op. 18 starting in measure 21. A very clearly presentation with details and tips how to group notes, use hand rotation and play more effortlessly. Great to watch. Thanks...)))
Thank you so much for your lessons. Your technical videos are expert and I apply the insights almost immediately to my playing. The internet is very lucky to have a pianist of your stature who shares his knowledge--and a Chopin Institute competitor! I have especially enjoyed your Scriabin Op.11 prelude series--lovely jewels. I was also intrigued by your comments in earlier videos regarding injuries and how you have overcome them. If you are so inclined, I am sure many viewers would appreciate understanding your obvious recovery. Best Wishes.
Thanks for watching, there is a newer version of explanation and approach to building this type of technique, in the latest Scarbo video on this channel. You can use timecodes to get there directly: ua-cam.com/video/UXyy0VJAfb4/v-deo.htmlsi=UCmu42l_sah22OQc
Depends on piano, on a good upright piano it might be easier then on a concert grand that wasn’t regulated by a technician for decades. But generally, yes, a double repetition in grand pianos and a vertical hammer attack makes it a bit easier on average, not drastically though.
@@DenZhdanovPianist yeah, tho mostly joking Regardless, just started playing some synth and willing to learn, and I'm sure this'll help, thanks for the tips on repeated notes! Obviously something don't apply, but generally for my own fingers' speed, it's still useful :D
Okay so this is driving me crazy. When you demonstrate the technique slowly, it’s wildly different than when you’re actually doing it quickly, no? Slow: each finger pokes the key without sliding across the key then reverses and goes straight back up. Like a pogo stick jumping up and down. Fast: The thumb and 2nd finger play the same, but the 3rd and 4th fingers strokes across the key top towards the palm.
You are right! It might change a bit in a faster tempo. But if it occurs, it’s quite unconscious, so I wouldn’t concentrate on it too much. The most important is to quickly free up the place for the next finger by rotating the forearm counterclockwise, and quickly flipping over a loose 4th/3rd finger, using the same impulse of hitting the thumb.
Yes, this is what I was going to comment too. Also, the ring and middle finger slide/swipe the very edge of the key, while the index finger pokes closer to the bottom of the black keys, leaving room for the thumb to hit near the edge. It also makes sense that the pointer finger isn't swiped, because that would block the thumb somewhat. Hopefully anyone that is having trouble reads your comment, slows the video down to 0.25x, and practices that way. I also found knowing the index finger points helps me keep better ryhthm, as I think of "pointing" on the & beat.
Came here for Rush E. Subscribed for the excellent lesson. You know so well what you are doing and able to explain it so clearly.
I also came for Rush E!
Came here for Radiohead - Airbag
Beautifully made as always. Bravo!
POV: you want to learn RUSH E
Hah exactly
Of course
What did you expect?
YES
UNDERRATED
He caught us

Thank you so much! Now I'm off to practice my Scarlatti D minor
Thanks so much Sir 🙏🏻

Thanks for the feedback! Happy to help!
hopefully this helps me with Hungarian rhapsody no.2 friska
Facts
That was amazing!
Thanks for the tutorial! I plan to play Grande Valse Brillante one day, and this will be very useful.
thank you 💯❣
Good tutorial 👍
very helpful!
Learning Rush E with this
lmao same
Lmfao Same
Спасибо, Денис, попробую следовать Вашим советам C:
I do 4-3-2-1, but was wondering if it's also okay to do 1-2-3-4?
My brain: I'm gonna do this in one minute
My hand: I guess so👀👁
Btw:it helped a lot
i was search for thge repeating notes in La Campanella, but i realise i didn't do the technic correctly for other pieces, so thanks

@@DenZhdanovPianist i've just watch this video and others, and your tips are very helpful. My dymanics are now better, more natural and powerful.
It’s hard on an upright piano
That half torn-off sticker in the top left corner of 5:00 😅; Tutorial: use a razor scraper
😂
Is it harder to do this on an upright? I heard that since the strings are upright it’s harder to play repeated notes faster?

@@DenZhdanovPianist okay thank you so much for letting me know :)
Are you supposed to tense your arm while doing this? It's the only way I can play it faster, but it's not particularly ergonomic.
Here for Prokofiev’s ninth piece in visions fugitives
Scarlatti k141 here we go
Мне нужно овладеть этой техникой полностью, чтобы научиться играть аранжировку Radiohead -- Airbag на фортепиано
When he was giving the example sounded like starting of coffin dance ngl
Man I came for Etterna spam jacks and accidentally became a pianist
I know people who qualify as accidental Americans, but accidental pianist is surely the next level👍

This seems like a good video. But I'm going to need you to turn up the volume
I think repeated notes is the hardedt piano technik ever
There is no universally hardest technique, each player has their own stronger and weaker sides.
@@DenZhdanovPianist true facts, basically what my piano teacher tells me when I asked him which piece in piano repertoire is the hardest.
5:16. Like skipping down the stairs.
Haha right, now I will always think of it when playing this piece
POV: You came here for Transedental Etude no.8 (wilde jagd) -Liszt
I'm here for Hungarian rhapsody no.2
I’m here for la Campanella 😅
I love ur tips, but maybe u should speak a bit louder
I do. This is an older video
