A big thanks to all of you who have requested this tutorial over the years, and for your patience in waiting for me to make it. I recently learned this piece, and performed it this past weekend at the El Paso Chopin Festival. I wanted to make a tutorial covering some of the helpful tips I've discovered to increase practice efficiency, improve interpretations, accuracy, fingering, variety with shaping repetitive sections, and many other concepts. I hope you enjoy it. I wish you all the best for another great week of practicing!
I think you’re great! I used to be a competition pianist post college and I played this piece. It’s been 15 years (#life) and I just bought a brand new piano and am getting my rep back in order. Your videos are thorough and approachable, and your playing is top notch. Kudos.
I LOVE the fact that you did a practice with tips ans tricks because you were learning it, then a performance video and then a tutorial. I can’t even tell why it just tastes like a good teacher thing. Apprecciate your work Josh thank you!
@@agamaz5650 less than if you actually attended a piano class, well depending on how good your teacher is. My piano teacher took $60/hour, so $9 compared to that is not a lot at all
I’d like to point out that this video’s recording is really good, I’ve seen so many videos with both human voices and piano voices and the balance of the two voices is really poor, with piano so loud. This video is really pleasant to watch.
Thank you so much for this Josh! I am no way near the level to play this piece but the principles you suggest always help with the pieces Im working on (around grade 5)
Surprised you recommended 4-3-2-1 in the LH for the opening figure when 3 and 4 are notorious for sticking to each other and 5-4-2-1 is entirely usable

2:35 OMG ! He just skipped the most wonderful part
i think this piece sounds better when it's played on the faster side.
