Thank you for 20k Subscribers! Time for another challenge... Have you already played this piece? Are you playing it right now?:) I would love to play some Beethoven in the next challenge - any suggestions? Stay safe, stay healthy and stay in the heart of the keys!;) 1Minute performance: 2:39 10 Minutes performance: 6:43 1 Hour performance: 13:21
Appreciate your honesty, many skilled Pianists wouldn't like to expose all their shortcomings and insecurities in Public,........you demonstrate that honesty can give confidence and make you stronger when faced with unknown challenges outside your private homely Practice......you deserve a credit for that,.....it show us that you are a true talented Musician with nothing to hide.....brave girl.
I found myself wacthing this and thinking, “Sightreading can’t really be that hard...”. I then went and tried to sightread a simple scarlatti sonata, and.....*cough* *cough*. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK!!!!! I am humbled that you did so well with this. Sightreading is really a skill that should not be overlooked. thank you!
Sight-reading (prima vista) and being able to play the piano at concert performance level are very different skills. A pianist like Annique would have no technical limitations whatsoever to play this type of repertoire at concert level with sufficient practice time. But that does not mean a concert pianist is able to sight-read a complex piece. Sight-reading needs to be learned, like piano playing needs to be learned. They are not the same thing. My piano teacher, who was a concert pianist but now works as a composer, répétiteur and accompanist, devoted several years to learn sight-reading and score reduction after he was already playing at concert level. A répétiteur must be able not only to read complex pieces but also to reduce an orchestral piece played on several instruments to the piano in real time and without any practice. He tells me that in such complex pieces or passages the fundamental is to keep the outline and the overall flow of the music instead of trying to play all the notes on the score, which might be extremely hard without practice. A casual listener would easily notice if the flow or the rhythm of the music are broken, but most will not even know that the interpreter decided to simplify the chords or to skip notes. In any case, you should try sight-reading pieces way below your level technical. It is already hard enough to sight read those fluently... :-) Cheers!
To be fair, Rachmaninoff was a proper savage. He really had no chill. Who would think of making such a non-melody for the left hand, to be played that fast.
@Anton Becker Even if you know what you are talking about, even if you are pianist yourself, you are so condescending that you shame the musician spirit. You have no place here. You are an obtuse and an elitist person.
@Anton Becker She does what she likes to do. And you, you just beilittle her work because you're frustrated. It's really sad to belittle what people do to love your miserable life. I cannot understand the meaning of this. Whether you're a troll or not, i almost feel sorrow for you. If music is soul, and if you trully are a musician, yours must be horrible to hear how dirty your soul is.
I love how she has so humanly and relatable reactions like being startled by the timer, and yet does something so few humans are able to do. Truly inspiring.
I bet there is one person out there thinking to themself: “she is so bad I can do this easily”. But then they try it out themselves. And that friends is how you can destroy your own self confidence.
@@mastermusique3143 Agree. The person who really thinks this is easy, certainly he/her doesn't need to try. Trying and proving are words for the people try to be experts :)
I’m not absolutely agree with that because it depends how you practice a new piece. It is really hard to do when you start to play a piece of that kind of difficulty, but still there are some “nuances”. Firstly, I don’t try to condemn or criticise, this is just my opinion based on the experience that I got till nowadays. My teacher always told me to simplify these complex structures. Divide complex elements to simple ones. I know that this video is some kind of “fun content” but if we look seriously, Annique, you were trying to play that left hand just reading every single note and this is kinda “not your level”. Seeing how you perform other compositions it is strange that you started to read left hand by every note. It would be easier if you would divide this passage into simple parts and then combine them together. Music is based on maths too so all of this things are just formulas. You don’t have to “deconfuse” your brain, you just see this in a too complex way. Try to see these notes like some small parts that you will transform into bigger ones later. Even a single passage in a bar you can divide into many small parts, playing it like triplets, clusters and etc. I think that you clearly understand what I am talking about. So I guess this always would be faster and easier to learn a piece using this methods. Wish you luck.
Hi! I started this piece because of this video. I managed to learn a whole page in 2 days! I know it doesn't sound like much but considering I've been playing for less than a year and is probably the most difficult piece I have gotten to play it's not that bad! Thank you for the inspiration!
After watching your video, I tried this challenge myself. After one minute I could barely play the first bar. I only practiced the left hand as I continuously played one wrong key. After ten minutes I was playing it in half the speed with the double amount of mistakes. After 20 min I gave up. There was no way that I could reach the speed and accuracy in one hour as you did. You are amazing !!🥰... for all those who think they could do it better, or she should do it better. C‘mon try it yourself - it is not only fun, but actually extremely stressful with the timer.
I have a music degree but have been uninspired to even touch my instrument (guitar) more than a couple times in the last few years, and lately I've started to wonder if part of that lack of inspiration might have something to do with never having been required to learn to play keyboard instruments. I've recently decided that I want to try to teach myself the basics, and have bought a MIDI keyboard, and I happened across this channel recently. I just wanted to say that watching this video is interesting to me, because I've been watching lots of stuff where people make their playing look effortless, and it's nice to see that even someone at your level takes a while to get something new under their fingers - a reminder that everything requires significant time and energy.
I like finger choreography :) I think it describes perfectly what you so passionately talk about in other videos. The importance of choosing a correct fingering to encourage playing in the heart of the keys and to match the energy you want to release as music. It makes it sound like my fingers, and by extension hands, arms, and whole body and mind are performing a dance with the piano. I’m being mindful of which way to go and with which finger to create the music with the energy I want. This has helped me a lot when practising lately :) thank you, Annique, for sharing the way you think with us :)
I started learning the piano 10 days ago via online course and videos on youtube. Man... its hard but fun. Thanks for the cool videos to keep me motivated.
I like to watch the start of the video and the end before watching the middle. Blows my mind more when I see how much better she can play after just an hour!
I love the graphics when practicing in the first minute. Comic relief as it lightens things up. Very creative with the pictures and the animations of the composer. I never heard of this way of practicing, and makes a daunting piece possibly doable. Not all of us are concert pianists and seeing you go through these frustrations makes it relatable. It gives me more confidence to stick with it. In the end it is very gratifying to see progress after practicing a piece. Ill use this and see what happens! Also, don't be so difficult on yourself. You are doing great- keep it up! Its an inspiration. Thanks
I’m not professional and I’m learning this piece for several years already… can’t even remember how many times i played this “wave” in different tempos - at least thousand times I think. It’s amazing how much you could make in this short time
The 1, 10 ,1hr are such creative videos .They are fun and entertaining. Your talent goes without saying. Your smile and expressions are priceless. Thanks for cheering up my morning. Hope to see you in the USA someday.
The one-hour version already sounded extremely fluid considering the difficulty and the little amount of time, very enjoyable :) Went to check your list to check what other pieces of dear Sergei you had already surprised. The only one I found was Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto, that's incredibly impressive, even more so, considering that seems to have been before your bachelor's degree even. I hope you'll play some more of his pieces in the future, he's probably one of my all-time favorites.
Look, I don't have words to say how your sight-reading is so good. Just a sheet, a paper and a piano, and there it is: a beautiful piece. Piano is really art. You said that you wanted some Beethoven for the next challenge, what about Op.31 No.2 (Tempest)? I didn't find it in your repertoire.
I was shocked when a notification pop up on my phone. 1 Min, 10 Min and an Hour challenge of this piece and hell yeah the bass part of the piece, you got it at a short time ❤️
good job! rach is my favourite composer, and moment musicaux is my favorite non prelude rachmaninnoff's piece, so it was really funny to watch this video! contunue like this.
Although this piece was one of your hardest ones, playing this much of it in just 1 hour and 11 minutes is quite frightening. I never cease to get amazed by how fast you read those hard sheets. In the previous video, the Campanella one it really was amazing how much progress you made in just that short period. Aniqque you really are a talented pianist that i admire. Anyhow, I shouldn’t compare my self to you as you have been practicing for 20 years and my self for only 2 years now. Currently, I am playing Bethoven’s tempest 3rd movement and i really love it. I would really love to see you applying this challenge to Bethoven’s pathetique sonata 3rd movement. Considering your high level in piano this piece will not be even a challenge , so i think most probably you won’t :P. Also, haha your reminded me of my teacher he always said the word finGers, but the tone of the G is G alone so it becomes kind of like fin “G”ers. I really appreciate your hard work and congrats on 20k. Also mad respect for checking every comment -A
You would think Pathetique's 3rd Movement wouldn't be very tricky, but, myself included, I have seen many a learner and even seasoned amateur struggle with those staccato scales, they can be a REAL nightmare, if you don't practise them well.
Barrie Martyn in his book on Rachmaninoff says that it is very likely that this piece was unconsciously derived from Chopin's prelude Op.28 n°3, the textures are similar, even its tonalities are relative. He also says that according to Goldenweiser, Rachmaninoff wrote this piece in 1892, as an exercise commissioned by his harmony teacher, Arensky, four years before he wrote the complete set of six pieces. (Incredible to think that it was a commission for a harmony class). Impressive the way you play the piano, you have a special "touche" and how you read music at first sight! You are pure talent. Greetings from Argentina, Buenos Aires.
Thanks for sharing the video. It is quite inspiring to watch a professional pianist practicing a difficult piece: perseverance, strategy, practice... This is what is needed to succeed in life. Not just piano. I admire your courage and confidence.
I’m not a trained pianist, but I heard a friend practicing this in high school. Just the left hand on slow speed for an hour without stop. That’s what this piece takes to make the left hand reliable. I once got to the point where I could play this pretty well in 6 minutes, which is basically half speed. This piece is a monster.
Oh, it is a really interesting approach! I will also try it, thank you! I actually learn pieces from the end or beginn at the most difficult place of the piece.
I love your videos so much and they give me so much motivation to practice 🥺 I quit piano awhile ago but I’ve decided to start again after watching your videos! Congradulations on 20K subscribers 🥰
You posted this on Jan 9, 2021, and celebrated 20k subscribers. It's now Feb 27, and you've more than doubled your subscribers, you're doing something very good here.
Only 3 month later you have over 60k.. i love your content and you made me want to pick up note reading again! I have played by ear and sight for the past few years
As an Anglophone who studied and who plays piano, I've never thought of the word "fingering" as being awkward, or double-entendre, until now. Tons of pianists and piano teachers use this word with no problems, but now you want us to switch to saying (and understanding) "fingersatz"? This reminds me of when Volkswagen came up with that advertising word "fahrvergnügen" and kept saying their cars have it. What did they have? They had "fahrvergnügen"!! Then they showed the cars zooming around some test track. So now it's you with your "fingersatz" zooming around some Rachmaninoff score. I promise not to laugh if we can just switch back to saying "fingering".
This fills me with a lot of confidence? Inspiration? I tried learning this piece and it's going well. Normally she will play a song perfectly in one hour that takes months. This time, she is struggling just as hard or harder than I am.
Wish I had your diciplin and structure in the practicing. I think I might have said this before, but it just struck me again. Damn, your practicing is GOOD! We would have had so many more LingLings out there if we all were that good to practice in an effective way!
Dear Annique, I teach now about more than 45 years pupils for organ or piano. During many years I have tried to figure out what processes are involved in reaching a perfect performance. I can't go in detail on this but I have discovered that also in making music there are underlying laws and these laws are from nature. There is a tight correlation between processes in nature like growing plants and pedagogical processes. In motor learning processes there are two fundamamental laws. The first is based on 'trial and error' (trying to learn throwing a ball in a basket) and the second is based on controlling movements so that an error in priciple cannot occur. The problem is that any movement also the wrong ones, will be remembered and our memory works to reproduce what we stuck in it. A perfect proces learning a piano piece can only be based on a very tightly control of our movement. However I also saw very good pianist working with the 'trial and error' method. This method causes lots of uncertainties. I am totaly sure that many 'normal' pupils fail by wrong exercise. In physics we have the determinants like Newton and Einstein and the indeterminants like Bohr and Heisenberg. For the time being I am a fan of Newton and Einstein. There is nothing outside law.
Love the practice session and lighthearted approached. Many folks can play this BUT not at the marked tempo (Presto). Then again, I guess this means they can't play it then. Anyhoo, great insight into your methods.
Thank you for 20k Subscribers! Time for another challenge... Have you already played this piece? Are you playing it right now?:)
I would love to play some Beethoven in the next challenge - any suggestions? Stay safe, stay healthy and stay in the heart of the keys!;)

This piece reminds me how much my left hand sucks
Same
Haha
To be fair, Rachmaninoff was a proper savage. He really had no chill. Who would think of making such a non-melody for the left hand, to be played that fast.
Most pianists need weeks to get the left hand correctly.
This is one of Rachmaninoff's hardest.
@Anton Becker that's not true, and it's bleedingly obvious you don't know what you're talking about.
rachmaninoff was lefthanded, thank God I am too and I don't have any problem with the left hand
It's very hard but nowhere near one of Rach's hardest
@Anton Becker Even if you know what you are talking about, even if you are pianist yourself, you are so condescending that you shame the musician spirit. You have no place here.
You are an obtuse and an elitist person.

Yesterday I decided to learn this piece, and your 1 minute progress is my 1 day progress :')
Hello there , are you able to play it now ?
The idea of having to tackle that in 1 minute made me SWEAT haha
When I read Rachmaninov i got flashbacks and was prepared for pain
I love how she has so humanly and relatable reactions like being startled by the timer, and yet does something so few humans are able to do. Truly inspiring.
Love this - you're amazing. Might have to try this - looks scary! 😀
Yes cole
Like your content, big fan
@@tpiano1165 thanks!
From someone who played around a third of it or maybe more, its a lot easier than it looks
It’s Rachmaninoff, it’s scary, duh
I bet there is one person out there thinking to themself: “she is so bad I can do this easily”. But then they try it out themselves. And that friends is how you can destroy your own self confidence.

i dont think someone who knows classical music can say smth like that to Rachmaninoff's pieces
Yikes the flag
"Doigté" is a beautiful word used in French to talk about the finger choreography.
I like finger choreography as well
My god, that must be the most masochistic channel on UA-cam
Hahaha XD

You say 20,000 subscribers like it’s a shock. You deserve it! Super talented.
Eusebius yeah! She really deserved it! I guess it’s the speed... the number of subscribers exploded from one week to another
And now 80k
Just be grateful Rachmaninov gave you a break on the right hand.
Next challenge: loves sorrow from rachmaninoff arr. PLEASE, THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL

"Hm, she good, me dislike."
Obviously some jealous freak

I hope you'll play some more of his pieces in the future, he's probably one of my all-time favorites.
Look, I don't have words to say how your sight-reading is so good.
Just a sheet, a paper and a piano, and there it is: a beautiful piece. Piano is really art.
You said that you wanted some Beethoven for the next challenge, what about Op.31 No.2 (Tempest)? I didn't find it in your repertoire.
Try “Rage over a lost penny” Rondo if you want a Beethoven challenge.
Congratulations for 20k, greetings from South America, this channel will continue to grow because of the talent that you show us, you are the best

Ich brauche eine ganze Woche für etwas was sie einfach in einer Stunde und 11 min macht... Einfach nur Amazing ! ! Mach so weiter
I saw "Rach", I knew it was gonna be Moment Musical no 4 before clicking!
I love watching you play! You have a fan from Hong Kong : D

I love that you jumped after the timer went off on the 1minute xD and you played absolutely amazing throughout!
Thanks for sharing the video. It is quite inspiring to watch a professional pianist practicing a difficult piece: perseverance, strategy, practice... This is what is needed to succeed in life. Not just piano. I admire your courage and confidence.

Love the new effects!
These are actually the best videos on UA-cam. I fucking love this
When you're in the middle of the piece and you remember your posture:
kkkkk I really like your videos ♡
Wow. You really did it. I requested this last week 😮🎶. Bravo, Annique!
ah i found you on youtube too, you are amazing. I also played this rachmaninoff, very beautiful piece.
I always look forward to seeing this challenge from you. I love it and I learn a lot from it. Thank you so much, and have a great day! 😁💓🎹
I used to play this song and Waldstein sonata last year jaja what a coincidence! You are amazing btw, you have learnt it sooo quick

I love how one can see your improvement on filming and editing your challenge! Love it! And the choice of Rachmaninoff... Chapeaux! :D
Could you teach us the most efficient way to learn a piece? You learned this one so fast.
Congratulations and I hope you`ll get 100k !
I’m waiting for you to try this piece aaaaaaaa 😆 thank you for this!! Such a great piece to start off 2021 🎊 🎉
Love that one!👏👍 and his Preludes
As an Anglophone who studied and who plays piano, I've never thought of the word "fingering" as being awkward, or double-entendre, until now. Tons of pianists and piano teachers use this word with no problems, but now you want us to switch to saying (and understanding) "fingersatz"? This reminds me of when Volkswagen came up with that advertising word "fahrvergnügen" and kept saying their cars have it. What did they have? They had "fahrvergnügen"!! Then they showed the cars zooming around some test track. So now it's you with your "fingersatz" zooming around some Rachmaninoff score. I promise not to laugh if we can just switch back to saying "fingering".
Leave it to an American to whine about having to say even one word in a language not his own.

hehe you said it
@@profd65 bruh it ain’t that deep
Thanks for sharing your experience and patience and humor, will follow you on your next video
This fills me with a lot of confidence? Inspiration? I tried learning this piece and it's going well. Normally she will play a song perfectly in one hour that takes months. This time, she is struggling just as hard or harder than I am.
I was waiting to see you attempt this
you could also say "finger numbering" or "finger pattern". That's what my instructors say usually.
Wish I had your diciplin and structure in the practicing. I think I might have said this before, but it just struck me again.
Damn, your practicing is GOOD!
We would have had so many more LingLings out there if we all were that good to practice in an effective way!
That was great !!
I really appreciate this concept of challenge, good work BRAVO !!
Kiss from France 🇫🇷😍
OMG this is so good! I can't even play this well in 2 years
Also love the new style of editing here :D
I’m so glad I get to watch you play these pieces and even better Rousseau has played lots of them as well
Great video! Even better slippers 🤣
I love these challenges so much!!
Dear Annique, I teach now about more than 45 years pupils for organ or piano. During many years I have tried to figure out what processes are involved in reaching a perfect performance. I can't go in detail on this but I have discovered that also in making music there are underlying laws and these laws are from nature. There is a tight correlation between processes in nature like growing plants and pedagogical processes. In motor learning processes there are two fundamamental laws. The first is based on 'trial and error' (trying to learn throwing a ball in a basket) and the second is based on controlling movements so that an error in priciple cannot occur. The problem is that any movement also the wrong ones, will be remembered and our memory works to reproduce what we stuck in it. A perfect proces learning a piano piece can only be based on a very tightly control of our movement. However I also saw very good pianist working with the 'trial and error' method. This method causes lots of uncertainties. I am totaly sure that many 'normal' pupils fail by wrong exercise. In physics we have the determinants like Newton and Einstein and the indeterminants like Bohr and Heisenberg. For the time being I am a fan of Newton and Einstein. There is nothing outside law.
I love your energy
Wow, that was really insane. I think I'd last like 3 years so I could play that piece and you learnt it in like... one hour and a half... You're huge!
This piece is life. I just finnished memorizing it and it's just hell. But a ton of fun as well. You did an insane job here
Love the practice session and lighthearted approached. Many folks can play this BUT not at the marked tempo (Presto). Then again, I guess this means they can't play it then. Anyhoo, great insight into your methods.
ピアノ演奏技術だけでなく、人の心を動かす能力がすごいです。
I love the way you smile. From Philippines with love 🇵🇭❤️
