Thank you to all who have requested a tutorial on this piece! It is such a charming etude that is not played as often as some of his other etudes, but one that presents a lot of unique challenges that can help develop accuracy, reduce tension, and improve expression and character in your playing. I hope you enjoy it and that you're staying safe and healthy during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Practicing with eyes closed is a great tip. I have only been playing for 6 months and sight reading without looking down at the keys and playing memorized parts eyes closed or looking away is really helping me become a lot ore accurate.
Great video as always, and I must agree I personally believe Chopins 24 Études are the most genius and beautiful collection of works ever released. I’ve always found the modulation in this piece to just be beautiful to the ear, continue you amazing work as always
Great! I am beginning to loosen my hands by means of Brahms exercise 16 (its great) and do jumps with eyes closed in a very short Cantabile by Chopin. It even helps my Bach playing. Your Babayan advice have been a help in uncomfortable places (Wohltemp. 12). This, I think will take light-handedness to next level, even though, I probably won´t master it for a while. Thank you very much.!
Thank you Josh, your playing sounds amazing. You do it like some sort of Acciaccatura, very light fast notes going to the upper main note. Hower it is written in 2 voices, the one going an octave, and the other going down a second and then lasting! SO you recommend not to play it?
American musician Clarence Hamilton published touch and expression in piano playing this book mentioned fingers dexterity touching technique about each notes of every fingers must quickly release. This book is writing very well by Clarence Hamilton to experience the art of fingertips
Hi, Josh. Great video and playing as always. If I could ask a bit of a personal question, since you've been playing pieces that are phenomenally technically difficult like these Études since your youth [and even more trying pieces like Rachmaninoff 3!], what sort of things do you work on practising now? How is it possible for pianists of your calibre to get even better?
Yo Josh, forgive me for bringing up something totally unrelated... But just fyi, in this passage you play here ua-cam.com/video/jRIt589ykUw/v-deo.html your thumb is supposed to alternate an E-flat with the D you’re playing. Beautifully played though!
I’m a 13 year old pianist and I just subscribed but you’re the only teacher that teaches at my level. I learn fast and I’m self taught. I think I’m pretty good for my scenario... But I love your teaching 😀
Josh, my student has the full tutorial which has been extremely helpful. Thank you! Could you clear up one thing for us? She played the etude for a music teacher at public school and the teacher pointed out that she didn't hold the dotted eighth in the right hand. I don't think the teacher could play this etude. If you hold down that second dotted eighth not, it slows you down and your hand gets stuck and you can't do any rotation to get off the group. Why do you think Chopin put the dot there and not at the end of the piece? Was it to modify the tempo as you suggest he did with the trills?
@@zacsummers8755 to be good piano teacher for Young demonstration skill is not so easy at music universities and colleges. Young piano teacher's demonstration skill is more better than old piano teacher. That's reason why we love young piano teacher. Demonstration skill reflect high level performance technique with very fast tempo and presto tempo on virtuoso etude for Young piano teacher. Hands of muscle and skeleton according to different age determine fingers dexterity of touching or ageing / deformation
It would be advisable to read the music correct... where is the difference between the eights and the sixteenth and the polyphony resulting from correct reading... this is only sport the way you teach... I am sorry to write this but it is necessary

@Landon H I'll take a look at it Landon :)
The Horseman etude...your teaching is really good....you're so detailed and extremely informative as well as inspiring. I dream to surpass you
Thanks so much for your kindness. I think it's the dream of every teacher that their students surpass them!

Thank you, Josh, for another very informative video. Now I have another addition to my growing list of repertoire to tackle! 😄
Wow. 2 days after I started practising 25-3! Thanks, Josh :)
Awesome! I hope it helps
I love how well dressed you always are! :) And the content is always appreciated
Is there also going to be a tutorial on op. 25 no. 4? That would make my wrists happy
