I believe the most important point online piano tutorials miss is that they don't assign a camera on feet and pedals. Believe that it's what most people need to see. Hands are done. Teach people pedaling. Thanks.
I am an amateur pianist and learned this waltz so many years ago that I had to practically find the keyboard….well almost. I took this tutorial and I just finished it. Josh’s teaching is amazing. This is what I found and I did have good teachers. First of all his teaching of rubato and a tempo refined this waltz for me. Secondly he brought the repeats to a different level. Well, well, worth the small fee. It must take a long time, even for a pianist/teacher of Josh’s caliber, to bring us a finished teaching product. Excellent, take it if you want to learn the finer points of this beautiful waltz.
Just wanted to come back here and say that I just watched the continuation of this video on your website. Anyone who is learning this piece in depth should check out the full lesson. It really enhanced my understanding of this waltz both harmonically and technically. I'm looking forward to returning to the piano now armed with a set of helpful tools as I continue to study this beautiful piece. Thank you, Josh!
Four minutes in, saw this on Instagram, no time right now to watch. But so happy to hear you talk about simplicity of this piece. I recently watched a video, super star pianist and it was painful b/c they played extremely fast. added trills where, at least on my copy, there are none and changed some notes for effect, AS IF Chopin could have done better. For me that person totally missed the beauty of the sounds he wrote. The complexity. The subtlety. Look forward to your entire video. I'm learning this on the side as my teacher has me doing Mozart and I'm loving that too. Brazen enough to think I can learn this waltz on my own. Glad to get your help!
I played it before and now compared to his, mine was so flat and stiff. His was like touching velvety breeze. Something so thick and smooth can be so light ❤️
Have been learning it for 3 weeks and still struggling with the dynamics, and the thirds on the B major section is hard to execute with clarity! Thanks for upload.
Thought they were both posthumous, and Chopin was pretty strict with tempo (because you talked about rubato). I do like rubato for this piece personally, but it does get obnoxious when it’s overdone. Chopin is probably rolling in his grave because we are playing his posthumous works and also using so much rubato 😂. You played it very nicely though
Yup, all Chopin works with opus numbers after opus 65 were published posthumously (not necessarily written at the end of his life, just published after his death).

Yes, Josh. This would be very helpful.
Exactly! If only they showed pedals too it would be so much easier and better!!
Second that... pedaling is my biggest problem

I agree...I love this piece so much!
First Chopin waltz I learned, love it 🥰
I played it before and now compared to his, mine was so flat and stiff. His was like touching velvety breeze. Something so thick and smooth can be so light ❤️
Learning this on piano 🎹 too.
Can you do the farewell waltz? Or mazurka op 17 n4 thanks
True
I've been waiting for this.
Thank you for the tutorial, Josh
This is the first Chopin piece I ever played!
This is also posthumous Josh 😊
I was practicing just now and found this video! Serendipity!
This is such a nice Waltz, Nice tips Josh!
Have been learning it for 3 weeks and still struggling with the dynamics, and the thirds on the B major section is hard to execute with clarity! Thanks for upload.
Still learning and struggling too.
Nice video!!! Chopin is my favorite. Could you do a tutorial on valse briliante op. 34 no.1
Love this instruction . Very helpful and you make it sound so good!!
Super Josh. It is also one of my favorite waltzes 😃😃. You play with a lot of feeling 😃🌞🎼🎼🎼.
Thumb's up 👍👍👍.
Kind regards,
Ursel
I agree.
Thanks for this tutorial! Need help w fingering in measures 48 the same as measure 80. That run is tricky!!

wait? was chopin really strict with tempo
@@ozanmrcan in the left hand. He said it should be like a clock. The right can do anything
@@johnprice3341 ah yes
@@johnprice3341 Thanks
1:15 no Josh it was published posthumously in 1852
Yup, all Chopin works with opus numbers after opus 65 were published posthumously (not necessarily written at the end of his life, just published after his death).
Actually, Chopin composed this piece at 19 or 20 years old. And then got published after his death
Thanks
Bruh how is this even possible but I got josh’s own ad on his own video
Wow
I am learning this for my test for level 6
Nice.
Josh, please do a video tutorial on chopin's op 64 no 1 waltz
Great 👍🏿 idea 💡.
Could you make a video about the gammes ?
Josh, thanks for making this video, i played this way too often and all of sudden my playing sounds so flat idk why.
also if you upload your full video playing this pieces it would be great
Same! Whenever I play piano pieces (mostly Chopin), it turns out flat and no feeling. What's wrong with me lol
9:35 Piano boiled down: Notes, rhythm, articulation, pedal, voicing, shaping (dynamics), rubato, tempo :)
can you cover Beethoven 9th Sonata for piano, 1st movement?
can you make a video about the fourth moment musicaux by Rachmaninoff ?
is pulse the same as roboto
Nice
nice
Noooooooo, I didn't get the first like😭
