Your explanation is so crisp and clear.
Thanks for the lesson!

You are such a brillant pianist AND Teacher! So rare! Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge!

[@user-bq9yq5gt3m]

I agree man!

[@charlespeterson4438]

Such a brilliant pianist. I'm in awe. But the pedal! Oh dear, it demands subtlety. Graham explains it so well and clearly is a master, but putting it into practice is a struggle for the likes of me. Practice practice practice.

[@justarandompally]

This is great! These were quite awkward at the start, but I feel that Mr. Fitch has gotten used to the camera now, so they're a lot easier to learn from now :)

[@anesthesiabeyond8519]

Wow! Amazing and clever of demonstrations!
Great lesson 👍👍👍
Thank you so much indeed 🙏🙏🙏

[@josephinebrown6631]

Thank you kindly.

[@tomygdiazjimenez]

Great video, can't wait for the segment on the pedal

[@Apollys]

So stylish with those cuffs

[@gunsmithchris]

I love your lessons. Thank you. It must be nice having a piano whose pedals work properly.

[@jules153]

You're quite good, aren't you.... (!)
Fantastic lesson, thanks

[@feelimpianist]

I like his way on explaining how to play Ballade in Gmin & Rachmanniov's prelude in C#min. Will Graham or Pianist magazine issue DVDs on how to play the whole tunes? I am interested in getting a copy if so.

[@tongqi6847]

Maybe you can show us the back of the piano, in order to show the movement of the pedal:) thanks!

[@Georgeknn]

yes please Mr. Fitch do take this into consideration. Although in your explanation it is pretty clear, it would be probably more helpful for us to SEE how you are using the pedal.
I think an adjustment on the camera position/zoom would do it.
Thank you for these great masterclasses and for your will to teach us.
George

Thank you for your video ， teacher ！I love it ！If we can see your feet with pedal here will be better👍

[@Apollys]

What is that song he played at the end? So beautiful
