You're great, Fitch. Thank you so much for making me eager to sit at the piano every time I watch your masterclasses. Sharp analysis and fresh, practical wisdom.

Quel plaisir les leçons de Graham Fitch. On en redemande.

Awesome addition to part 1, really enjoyed the jump and land technique. Great to see etude 10-3 as an example too since it’s one of my favourite pieces ever.

[@wiccalite]

Thank you Graham. I’m going to wake up my inner quality control inspector next time I practice. She’s been a lazy cow for far too long.

[@JeremyTaylorPianoProgress]

Can anyone tell me the piece being played at the beginning of the video? Thanks

[@gabrie1c]

Late reply but in case you're still searching, it's Orfeo ed Euridice, Dance of the Blessed Spirits (Act 2) by Gluck. Not sure which piano transcription was played at the beginning but my favourite version is the one arranged by Sgambati and played by Yuja Wang

[@JeremyTaylorPianoProgress]

@@gabrie1c Thank you, I did have it already, but appreciate the info

[@achaley4186]

This even sounds like a way one could improvise on a memorized piece….
