Happy Easter everyone!🐣 hope you are having a great time with your instrument! Seems like we crushed the last Anime Challenge - guess I will have to continue practicing that one 🙈😝😂
Happy Easter!! One question, is it possible to play a piece in reverse mode? I'm at the beginning of piano learning and I'm curious to know if this is possible.
You should absolutely try to do a 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 1 hour with Mephisto Waltz. I know it's nowhere near enough time to learn that piece, but if you haven't already, that'd be a fun one to see. I noticed you had it in the background of your video and would just be interested in hearing that piece in one of your challenges.
I would love to see a challenge with Rachmaninoff’s etude tableau op 39 no 6 ‘’little red riding hood’’ or with Gaspard de la Nuit I ‘’ondine’’ by Ravel
I love the fact that when you miss a lot of notes the X gets bigger XD, btw you are very good at these challenges keep up! Greetings from Italy! And happy Easter!
You are great ! This piece is a finger breaker ! When Schumann published it he said it was the most difficult piece of the repertoire. At that time it might have been very true. You are really great !!
Hi Annique, What I appreciate about you is that while working you keep a good sense of humor. We all know that music and the piano are difficult for everyone. Even the 'great pianists' also have trouble, we sometimes forget that. You should always have a lot of patience with yourself and the best thing is to keep your spirits up. You got it right! The piano is your job, and you know how to work, that's the most important thing. Continue and congratulations to show how you manage to arrive, it motivates all the other musicians, pianists... and others.
i also think different rhytms help SOO MUCH with dealing w/ hard and difficult passages. Thats so nice to see that a legit pianist also does that as i do and thinks its helpful. Also i love the background piece you choose fot yhis video. Love to see you play mephisto waltz some day, would like to listen to your interpretetion:):)
I do use different rhythms, but honestly it is mostly about avoiding getting bored for me. If I try to learn the piece really well it can get interesting :)
You should do the challenge with Ravel’s Une barque sur l’ocean, such an underrated piece but it’s so beautiful (and so difficult… I’d be curious to see how you’d tackle that one)
As a Horn player, I enjoy your approach to learning a new work, especially your varying the rhythms. Some suggestions: imagine that you are singing the piece and finding/choosing the places to breathe. And, have a listen to both Gilels’ and Pogorelich’s young and mature recordings (they are on UA-cam).
Keep learning!! I love this piece so, so, sooo much. I've been learning it on and off for about 4 years now, and I'm 10 measures from finishing. Still a lot of technique and polishing to do though lol. More people need to see this piece and learn it. Thank you very much for sharing
You make it look like so much fun. I think I need to change my attitude toward practicing. It really sound good to me. I didn't know about relaxation points, good idea.
Just love your videos! What would be funny is grand galop chromatique bei franz liszt. Short piece, insanely challenging and probably great for you too to play! Keep it up :)
Entertaining and educational as always! To learn even the first passage of the Toccata in one hour is very impressive to me-if I tried, I would probably take me an hour to learn the first ten bars. I found it interesting that you practice hands separate, and also using different rhythms. My teacher, a retired concert pianist, recommends practicing with the different rhythms like you do, but not hands separate. I also loved the Mephisto Waltz in the background (the only problem was that the amazing playing distracted me from what you were saying). Happy Easter! 🎹🎹🐰🐰❤️❤️
For this piece the challenge should be "one hour, one month, one year"! 😂 I learnt this amazing Toccata at age 17, but I didn't feel comfortable performing it in recitals until several years later, in my mid-20s. Brahms-Paganini (both books) despite the difficulty and the length, interestingly enough didn't need as much time to make me feel comfortable with it. Some passages in this Toccata are still after decades "high risk". That was a great attempt in just one hour!
Although you couldn't make it perfect in such a short period of time, I think this piece exactly suits your nature. I loved how the different voices clearly came out which is not always the case with other pianists. I think you should practice it for about a year, get it into a solid tempo, and make it your landmark.
I’ve definitely used alternate rhythms for sections. I’ll also do different groupings of notes. For example; Go from beat 4 to beat 1. Then add an extra beat. Etc.
You can try to do this chalenge with "Grande fantaisie triomphale sur l'hymne national brésilien, Op.69" and premiere the video on Brazilian independence day
Never tried the toccata… but I‘m working on the Humoreske Op. 20 - would like to see a challenge from you with that piece ( Especially Intermezzo 126 bpm how would you solve this?!? 🙆🏻♂️😅 ) 🤗 With many pieces of Schumann it seems to me that his wife Clara inspired him to write technically hard music for the piano. I highly recommend to read Peter Härtlings Biography „Schumanns Schatten“ to get a better understanding of Roberts music.
The only time "different rythms" helped me is when I first tackled the Chopin Fantasie Impromptu in C#m; and even then it wasn't so much a different rythm as it was a different way of looking at the given rythm: I knew I could do triplets and eight note coordination, so I started off just playing every other note in the right hand so I could get how the hands coordinated. Then I filled in the in-between sixteenth notes.
I've spent hours watching youtube videos of every pianist who has tackled this obstacle course. The surprising thing is that only a few of them actually sound musical to my ears even though most of them hit most of the notes and that is why I think it is difficult 🙃
The biggest issue with this "thing" is to find the sweet spot between "not practicing enough to make progress" and "developing RSI and serious finger injury", and for me that sweet spot is just too narrow. Practicing this one hour without an expression of pain in your face is already a feat.
Could you try this with Vers la Flamme by Scriabin? The opening is simple but the last section is very difficult! Anyways happy Easter to anyone who reads this :D
Can you also do this with the Sonata in D minor (k141) from Domenico Scarlatti? I would say it is one of the signature pieces from Martha Argerich and it would be very interesting to hear it from you, I think :)
Your best challenge in your life. But I learn faster, and this is not the most important. The most important is know and do the best music, in the highest emotional quality, and in that you are much better than me. Thanks a lot for recognize another amazing thing never will happen in my life.
Annique, I would be very glad if you could recommend the viewers of your channel to also have a look at Denis Zhdanov's youtube channel! In his "Sounds of Free Ukraine" video he plays nice pieces of Ukrainian composers to raise funds for the people in Ukraine. He is a master pianist, but sadly only has 4450 followers right now. I hope many more will subscribe soon. Keep on the good work. You rock!
Hi @Heart of Keys, I would like to ask you to try this song next "Music for the Sadness of Xion" of the Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle Piano Collections I think if you would be able to play that song I'm sure that would be the key to unlock our hearts
honestly simply practice. if I remember correctly she's been playing more than 20 years. the more you practice, the theoretically faster you will become
Happy Easter everyone!🐣 hope you are having a great time with your instrument! Seems like we crushed the last Anime Challenge - guess I will have to continue practicing that one 🙈😝😂

God Bless You.

@@islumperisluggo1830 She's played it before, so it's probably her own recording in the background. ua-cam.com/video/iSYk_Pzyx4g/v-deo.html
I would love to see a challenge with Rachmaninoff’s etude tableau op 39 no 6 ‘’little red riding hood’’ or with Gaspard de la Nuit I ‘’ondine’’ by Ravel
YES I LOVE GASPARD DE LA NUIT, I hope she takes this challenge one day
The rachmaninoff plsss
Me too
bro wants to see her break her hands
Rachmaninoff one pleaaaase

@Sayeedur123 9:36
That one minute performance was lowkey amazing ngl
I love the fact that when you miss a lot of notes the X gets bigger XD, btw you are very good at these challenges keep up! Greetings from Italy! And happy Easter!

great video!
maybe next time a famous jazz piece? always interesting to watch a classically trained pianist perform jazz :D
I am LOVING this! The floating red ❌ is hilarious! Reminds me of trying to play in Smart Music. 😂
I do use different rhythms, but honestly it is mostly about avoiding getting bored for me. If I try to learn the piece really well it can get interesting :)
You are so good at the piano especially sight reading !!!!!

I absolutely love ❤️ the music you have during the time lapse 😂 I really love ❤️ it

What's up Annique! Welcome back to another episode of torture!
Thanks so much for producing content.
Would love to see this challenge with rach's etude-tableau op. 39 no. 6 (little red riding hood) or Bartok's Allegro Barbaro!
RACHMANINOFF!!
RACHMANINOFF!
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!
Wow
How does she have a so good slight read!😮
Probably the most piece you took up for this challenge so far! Amazing job!
Thank you very much🔥 You motivated me to go and disassemble a new work right now🤓
PERFECT AS ALWAYS
Currently learning a few pieces from Schumann's Kinderszenen. Op. 15 No. 1 and No. 7
me too, 1, 4 and 13
That was awesome! I'm playing Schumann sonata no. 2
Would love to see a Bach piece in this challenge!
Please 1 minute, ten minutes and one hour of Rachmaninoff’s polichinelle op 3 no 4!!!
looove these series!😍
You make it look like so much fun. I think I need to change my attitude toward practicing. It really sound good to me. I didn't know about relaxation points, good idea.
Just love your videos! What would be funny is grand galop chromatique bei franz liszt. Short piece, insanely challenging and probably great for you too to play! Keep it up :)
Really liked this one!! Could you maybe do Schubert drei klavierstücke no. 1 ? Thanks 😇
You did well!!!

You should do a challenge where after the one hour, you play until you're satisfied or at least somewhat satisfied with how you play the piece🙏
i would love to see chopin's nocturne op.55 no.2! not so many people played this piece despite it being so beautifully written 🥺
Although you couldn't make it perfect in such a short period of time, I think this piece exactly suits your nature. I loved how the different voices clearly came out which is not always the case with other pianists. I think you should practice it for about a year, get it into a solid tempo, and make it your landmark.
Could you do this challenge with Davidsbündlertänze by Schumann ?
Love your videos !
My dream piece is Saint-Saëns Tocatta Op. 111 No. 6. I'll get there one day, but you're right: tocattas can be crazy difficult.
I’ve definitely used alternate rhythms for sections. I’ll also do different groupings of notes. For example; Go from beat 4 to beat 1. Then add an extra beat. Etc.
I think another great piece for this challenge would be Liebesleid (Love’s sorrow) arr. from Rachmaninoff
great video! but maybe an idea to let us listen to the recording of the piece first before you start with the challenge 😃
I support
you can easily find recordings of the piece on UA-cam
Trust me. She definitely knew the piece before too.
Congrats!!!
⚘🌷🌼🌻🌴🌺🥀🌹
You can try to do this chalenge with "Grande fantaisie triomphale sur l'hymne national brésilien, Op.69" and premiere the video on Brazilian independence day
Your brilliance and beauty always captivates me, would be a dream to take you out to dinner 🌹 Happy Easter from the United States!
Felicidades ...👍
Ravel's Gaspard de la neither plsss!!!
love this challenge every time. you’re impressive:) i could never🥲
You should do chaccone in g major by handel, really good piece
My daughter is playing Schumann's Vogel als prophet, would be fun to do a challenge

I don't play this one but I play Czerny's toccata slowly to warm up sometimes hehe!
The only time "different rythms" helped me is when I first tackled the Chopin Fantasie Impromptu in C#m; and even then it wasn't so much a different rythm as it was a different way of looking at the given rythm: I knew I could do triplets and eight note coordination, so I started off just playing every other note in the right hand so I could get how the hands coordinated.

I feel like she droped a glass from my kitchen looking at that thumb

Hello. Could you pls do a challenge on Schumann’s Smuggler ?
Many thanks. Love your channel
She should try learning howl’s moving castle
The headbanging lmao
It's a very V E r Y hard piece. Argerich does something unhuman with it. Other worldly.
Very nice 🌹🌷👌👍👏
Could you try this with Vers la Flamme by Scriabin? The opening is simple but the last section is very difficult! Anyways happy Easter to anyone who reads this :D
i would like to see your Rach 3 , 3 mov 😍
Frohe Ostern aus Bayern ❤️🐣
Can you do a challenge on schumann’s Smuggler song? It is a really cool piece
Can you also do this with the Sonata in D minor (k141) from Domenico Scarlatti?
I would say it is one of the signature pieces from Martha Argerich and it would be very interesting to hear it from you, I think :)
I would love to see more animenz arrangements
If you want a really Intense piece to play, try "marigold" the cover from phyxinon.
I've never seen someone playing it correctly.
Horowitz and Liszt himself would need more than an hour than to get thru that beast
Can you try Claude Debussy - Passepied.
I love that song 🥰
I challenge you to play this one on 1 hour: Genshin Impact - Symphony of the Boreal Wind (Wolf Boss Battle) Piano Version
Ich bewundere Dich!
I love your videos!! It's so entertaining. Could you try to do Howl's Moving Castle by any chance? (The best and quite hard is that tik tok version)
Your best challenge in your life. But I learn faster, and this is not the most important. The most important is know and do the best music, in the highest emotional quality, and in that you are much better than me. Thanks a lot for recognize another amazing thing never will happen in my life.
Greetings from 🎹🇺🇾
That’s Uruguay, isn’t it?
@@maelysearl-sur4777 Así es
The cross' without the sound are alot better, the sound was quite annoying. Great playing as always!
Does the 1 min, 10 min, 1 hour challenge help you finish pieces faster? Are you able to keep momentum going after you do the challenge?
I’d love to see kreislers love sorrow Rachmaninov piano arrangement
YES FINALLY
Imagine if she does a 1 min 10 min 1 hour on le preux
you're so pretty :)
love your energy, gimme some! xD
Happy to see you're enjoying this, not like Don Music from sesame street

Hey Annique, what do you think is the best way to learn sight reading?
Hi @Heart of Keys, I would like to ask you to try this song next "Music for the Sadness of Xion" of the Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle Piano Collections I think if you would be able to play that song
I'm sure that would be the key to unlock our hearts
First you are incredible
Maybe you should add a 2hours!
Please... i know you want to just jump my ask...but PLEASE Annique!! Make a video of this challange playing little red ridding hood of Rachmannioff!
Maybe brahms paganini variations in the next Challenge
Mama Mia! Here I go again~~
If you haven’t already could you do a 1 min 10 min 1 hr with chopins etude opus 10 no 12
Könntest du mal von schumann Vogel als Prophet spielen? Ich mag das total und ich würd mich voll freuen
Hi, Annique. I realized that ur piano skills is very nice. I m so curious on how u can learn the piece so fast after 1hr 11mins.
honestly simply practice. if I remember correctly she's been playing more than 20 years. the more you practice, the theoretically faster you will become
❤❤
Can you please do rach 3 ossia cadenza for the next challenge?
Te amo ❤️💕😘
Feux follets next !
Have you ever tried the Liszt/Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre
