Her 1 minute is like my 1 week progress, 10 minutes is like a month of my progress, 1 hour is equivalent to my 3 months progress of the piece 😐.. Crazy sight reading
@@ballerinagirl You need to check out Tom Bier's sight reading challenges. He's on yet another planet, e.g. ua-cam.com/video/b9IkpUYlOx8/v-deo.html I'm sure that ragtime has more patterns that you can practice than, say, Chopin. This video is amazing in its own right!
Considering she is a professional pianist, having a good ear helps tremendously. I have been playing piano for about a year, but have been listening to many classical pieces since childhood, so I can play by "heart" (partially) in a soso manner without ever seeing the notes. This is IMO also a very known song, so she has probably heard the song many times, and has kind of an idea how to tackle it. Also playing lots of Chopin makes it so much easier to play other Chopin songs.
The fact that she played polyrhythm the first time she looked at the piece makes me sit back in my chair and slowly recline until the chair flips backward.
Sometimes I think many high level pianists just magically know how to play pieces and never struggle. This vid shows all the hard work and frustration that go into learning a piece
I remember learning this piece. It was strangely like learning how to ride a bike. Once I actually had flow I was so surprised I froze and ran the bike into a tree...
@@inanis9801Definitely! I got it FINALLY tonight! It's one of those pieces, for me, that I had to memorize the phrase, and let go! It's easier to play the polyrhythm faster than slower. What a freakin' relief! 😂😂
Note that people who say "her 1 minute is like my 1 week" are the ones who CAN play piano. If you have never seriously learned piano, let me tell you, it will take you 5-10 years to reach "her 1 minute". Fantaisie impromptu isn't just one of those twinkle twinkle little star songs, your left and right hand needs to play at different pace.
Casi al cumplir un año de comenzar a tocar piano por hobbie comenzé a aprender esta pieza porque era de las que más me gustaba. Me tomó como casi un mes para aprenderme tan solo el principio. Sin embargo, cuando ya me lo había aprendido, el resto salió más fácil. Me tomó 3 meses aprenderme toda la pieza, y como 4-5 meses poder tocarla de forma más o menos decente.
There exists a video of a guy going from 0 to full fantasie impromptu on UA-cam in less than a year. Not well, but he gets all the notes in the right order and with half decent tempo. It takes nowhere near 5 years
My jaw just dropped. Your one minute is about a month for me, till I get the polyrhythm down, your 10 minutes are kinda like my end goal and your 1 hour is pretty much performance level. Amazing how much of a gap there is between classical pianists and other like me with 5 years experience
Lol, I'm sure she's been playing for well over decade and a half and over time develop the very important skill of piano, learning efficiency, something I'm still working on. Sooo keep going!
@@yusufansari7897 r u dumb obv she’s played before like a long time ago also she’s sight reading not doing it in her head. Once you learn sight reading it’s easy to play some pieces. She’s prob been sight reading since she started playing piano. Ur acting like she just started playing. She learned 5 rows in 1 min and messed up. Don’t get mad tho I can see why u think it’s fake lol she played it so fast. To fast... But we know the 1 min is real bc she didn’t cut anything. Don’t be mad.
My teacher had an incredible sight reading. Everytime that I brought to him a new piece to study he firstly spent like 2/3 minutes for seeing the difficult passages and trying them he puts the fingering on the sheet. After this he played with, of course, some mistakes but the result was like the mine after 3 months of studying.
@@gorilla-san im an actual pianist and with my work ethic there's no way i would be able to get to her 10 minutes in a month let alone her 1 hour in 6 months
I just heard the arpeggios and chromatic runs in the beginning, not the ballad in the middle or the massive finale, which is my favorite part. I would suspect most of the first part is easy for a pianist at her level as she probably practiced those daily in etudes.
@@thomasreedy4751 ^^ the beginning isn't the hardest part of the piece (well thats in my opinion but if you ask other people who have played this song I bet they would agree with me) as for the ballad I actually think that's easier than the beginning because I'd personally say the beginning is pretty dang difficult, but thats just my opinion again. I do have to say though I disagree with one thing- that it would be easy to play the first part. After learning it myself, I know how much of a bitch that polyrhythm was... many many hours); of course she is at a higher level at piano than I am, so I wouldn't know ;p
Ok so I am 11 and I've been playing the piano for like 6 years now and cannot imagine being able to play this after one minute of practice! This is truly amazing and inspiring. My dream is to someday make it to this level.
Love this video. Normally, I do have short concentration span when I sit with my piano. So play for 10 minutes, break 5 minutes, slowly, I practice 30 minutes, break 5 minutes and 1 hour, break 5 minutes. I just let myself warm up. And first thing I do when I start a new pieces, I sight read, get the rhythm right (with metronome help, if i needed), stuck the melody into my head, analyse chord and practice a few round, not getting perfect on the first day, just casually practice new repertoire.
Woww took me half a year to learn this piece and 2 years for it to be considered okay. She did what would take me a long time to do in only 1 hr. Amazing👏👏👏👏
@@joannot6706 I can't give a source, but supposedly Liszt was performing Chopins etude in c major at a salon (with Chopin in attendance), and could only sight read a couple of bars before he started making mistakes. After the emarassement, Liszt locked himself in his study and practised the whole opus. A week later, at the same location, he played all the etudes perfectly and Chopin himself admitted that only Liszt could play them more profoundly and touchingly.
I've been practicing a couple of pieces for four years. I love that you shared this with us - in a small way it helps us amateurs to know that even the pros don't usually toss a piece of music in front of them and sight read it without errors. Oh, and I loved how you were marking up the music -presumably with fingering notes. Yay!
"if a good fingering would help me (in 10 minutes)" - I strongly beleave: Yes! fingering helps, even in this stressful situations. Much more: exact wrist and elbow movement apply to the same. And THANK YOU so much for sharing your fingering with all of us on patreon. I totally enjoy this.
that's so interesting, i usually start practicing pieces by playing them SUPER slowly, so that i can't make any mistakes. Because once i've practiced my mistakes, its all over for me and takes ages to rectify them. Interesting to see how other people approach pieces. Thanks so much for putting this out there.
Thank you for these amazing videos. I started playing the piano aged 5. Now 73 but not a good pianist as I had 3 strokes when I was 28 so that out paid to my aspirations of being a concert pianist. But I play for my own pleasure and now teaching my husband to play. I made him watch your videos and hopefully it made him feel better knowing that a concert pianist of your talent struggles at times. Thank you again.
Ok...I love her videos and especially this series, but I find it hard to believe that being a classical pianist and being as good as she is she had never played fantasy impromptu before
It’s not super uncommon, fantasie impromptu is a skippable piece, being very overdone and not very difficult. I can see someone at this level focusing on other pieces that are more important, like etudes.
@@stefanolanza8018 I highly doubt you have the credentials to correct me or speak for professional pianists. Fantasie impromptu is, relatively, a beginner's piece, and it is entirely feasible that many professional pianists simply don't have it in their repertoire or never learned it in the first place because it is not worth it. Again, this is relative, but compared to the skill level this person has shown impromptu is leagues below. And in the end, it is apparent that this person is at professional level and did not learn this piece, which is already a counterexample to your arrogant claim about knowing how professionals learn piano. While perhaps due to being famous and a common piece fantasie impromptu is popularly learned, it's senseless to claim that it is required or that everyone has learned it.
@@jonathanouyang Thanks for your opinion. I hereby confirm mine, you really have no understanding about learning piano at professional level. Nobody starts as a professional. Writing that the FI is a beginners' piece shows either your lack of understanding piano technique either your trolling attitude. Both ar despicable.
@@stefanolanza8018 I think I know a little bit about piano, especially since I have played FI myself. Again, everything is relative: FI is doable with 2-3 years of intensive practice starting from nothing, whereas other pieces take much longer.
This is unbelievable (and so fascinating). At 10 minutes you are where I'd hope to be after weeks of practicing. 1 hour? This is where I'll never be in my whole life (I've had weekly piano lessons for 8 years, and I still practice and play every now and then) . Soooo amazing!
I'm actually totally blind and am learning this one too... It's a challenge but each time I get a part it's so rewarding... The trick I found is using midi to help along the way. If you slow it down it can make putting it together a bit easier.
This is incredible. I've always wondered what a real practice session looked like for a concert pianist. I knew they were super human...AND this basically proves it😊
I absolutely love watching you reveal your approach with such humor. Beautiful playing and you made me laugh so hard when the mistakes were highlighted in the video. Your grace and humor are inspirational!
Bin jetzt 15 und hab dieses Lied vor nem Jahr angefangen zu spielen, kann es aber immer noch nicht ohne irgendwelche Fehler. Auf jeden Fall Respekt dass du so schnell so gut spielen kannst
Thomas, if you just want be copy/paste musician that's fine, someone else was creative instead of you. But sometimes it's good to have a little creativity and give your own interpretation. Without that, it would be boring and we wouldn't need to hear new artists, but just listen to the old recordings we're used to.
I love the red "X"s. Even when you missed the notes, it sounded darn good. And not being able to sight read very well? You fooled me. Great video. I really enjoyed it.
My practicing recommendation: 1) Get to know the piece as a whole - know your key and rhythm, listen to some interpretation if possible and pick up pencil to set logical phrases to help you with "checkpoints", analyse the form (for example ABACA etc.) 2) Understand where is the melody (what is most singable - can be in the left hand although it's not as common as in the right hand) and practice it first then understand bass notes and make sense of chords and their relationships inside (tonic, dominant etc.; also notice where they occur repeatedly) - that is harmony 3) Do not overpractice and repeat parts you already know - ideally start from the most difficult parts, also do not start practicing from A to Z - that is called performing 4) Try to not make the music stop, use "slow motion" as a practice tool but ALWAYS feel rhythm, don't leave a place unpracticed if you can't fit it in the rhythm 5) Sleep and try practicing the next day - you will notice an improvement, if you skip a day or two a lot will be lost from your last practice 6) Don't practice more than 3 hours a day if you don't feel like it, Chopin practiced about this amount, I believe more will not increase results, only sleep and practicing the next day does
isn't it weird how if you practice right before you sleep you can wake up the next day and play/do it better? I think theres a name for it but I can't remember what it is, it's super cool tho.
Ein tolles Video. Auch wenn ich Lichtjahre entfernt bin von solchen Fähigkeiten, so ist es doch sehr inspirierend, Dir bei dieser Challenge zuzuschauen. 👍
Omg das ist so wahnsinnig wie schnell Du so ein schweres Stück liest und umsetzen kannst. Was du in den ersten 10 sekunden erkannt hast hab ich 10minuten gebraucht 🤣 Einfach nur top 🙂👍
@@derpocheesbalsvodsnvids6806 having an hour only doesn’t suddenly transform it into one of the hardest that’s not how it works. It’s brilliant that she can do this but no it’s not difficult compared to a lot of stuff that she has even played doing this
Valentina Lisitsa did something like this with a Beethoven Sonata although she already pretty much knew the piece and was showing how she worked out difficult parts. She also did a sight-reading video. Nice to see you are humble enough to let people see how even high-level Classical Pianists can struggle a bit when first learning a difficult piece. The Chopin Pics and comments are priceless !!
Z tym naszym Chopinem to jest ogólnie JEDNA WIELKA MASAKRA. Dlatego moja droga nie zaryzykowałem, gram na gitarze. I nie mogę sobie jakoś wyobrazić, że chodził pod oknami knajp, podsłuchiwał, a potem takie utwory pisał. Życzę Ci powodzenia dzielna kobieto !
oh wow!, i'm impressed by your insistence and dedication, more than 20 minutes with the same piece is exhausting, you are inspiring, it makes you want to study 4 hours a day to see if in 10 years I read like you. Un abraso enorme desde Colombia.
Love the humor to show we're all human when learning a new song. Still, that's pretty damn good. I now find myself chuckling at my own mistakes on the guitar more.
In tears at my age! Inspired to give it a go. It's so great that you tell us its okay to fail. Chopin would have been proud such a passionate performance.
Really like these videos that you put up, as well as the 1 min classical. I would love to hear some more Schubert/Lizst/Chopin. Or maybe some tchaikovsky piano concertos. I liked how in your other chopin video you kinda dictated what you were practicing and why and such thought that was really interesting.
I loved this episode. I’m leaning this piece now and it was so great to watch your process. You got up to speed far faster than I ever will. Thank you and bravo!
I'm 23 and I began learning the piano about a year ago! Usually I practice only a few hours a week, but thanks to the stay-home orders I practice for around 2-3 hours a day! When I learn a new piece I try to learn a phrase at a time, the right hand part, the left hand, then putting it together. It amazes me that even while practicing for the first time you can do both!! I try to do hanons every day, and learn something new so I don't have to disappoint my teacher if I forget to learn a song (it has happened quite a few times 😅) Your videos inspire me to go practice! I hope to be a pianist like you some day!
Actually, quite productive. By the end of the hour you were playing the first section of the impromptu quite nicely, and much of the rest of the music (the famous B section not being a technical challenge) is very repetitive, with the main differences being which notes are emphasized. It is mind staggering to think of how perhaps a weeks work on this piece and you will be very advanced with it! BTW, the Waldensteiner that was playing in the background was very worthwhile as well. Your playing touches the mind as well as the heart.
I practice for an hour (although I rarely take count of the starting and ending time) I start when I feel refresh and stop when I am too frustrated to make any progress
First Step: Practice de first page with left and right hand separated without rhythm. After that I include the rhythm, but very very slowly. After a few days, im getting more secure and I start to increase the speed until i do everything clean. Then i try both hands together repeating all the steps that i made with separated hands. Clearly you have an impressive sheet reading!!
I find it amazing how you play the piece. I have been learning it for 7 months and finaly finished it, but your „Betonung“ is so much better than mine. Keep going.
Your 10 minutes attempt already sounds way better than my three months version...lol It's impossible to not laugh together with you, thanks for make my quarantine day better!
Haha I'm like a below average piano student at university and thinking about trying this too. Forcing it online might make me practise more actively and be aware whenever I practise. I always have difficulties with sightreading - learning notes to a piece, takes longer than the average student.
I've played piano for a long time and recently got in to classical music, and as such needed to improve my sheet music reading abilities, It took me several months to learn my first piece, and after that I printed 4 more to learn, and I already feel better at reading sheet music but also still making mistakes, it's cool to see what I could do with even more practice, new goals acquired!
Her 1 minute is like my 1 week progress, 10 minutes is like a month of my progress, 1 hour is equivalent to my 3 months progress of the piece 😐.. Crazy sight reading

Same. Sigh.
Bro ikr same ;-; glad im not the only one xD
Omg same haha took me three months
But still struggling to play it well ;(
3 months for just 1 and a half page? Why did u than start with that piece in the first place.

I'm actually totally blind and am learning this one too... It's a challenge but each time I get a part it's so rewarding... The trick I found is using midi to help along the way. If you slow it down it can make putting it together a bit easier.
Quinton Williams wow... good luck!
keep trying!
ps yu already almost through the first section.
@@quinton1110 nice
This is incredible. I've always wondered what a real practice session looked like for a concert pianist. I knew they were super human...AND this basically proves it😊
LOVE the Chopin eyes reactions live, made me giggle aloud. Really interesting to watch, love your anxious yet happy energy! :)
Haha 🤣
I absolutely love watching you reveal your approach with such humor. Beautiful playing and you made me laugh so hard when the mistakes were highlighted in the video. Your grace and humor are inspirational!
I really enjoyed this. Amazing piece and you have such incredible talent. Very impressive!
Bin jetzt 15 und hab dieses Lied vor nem Jahr angefangen zu spielen, kann es aber immer noch nicht ohne irgendwelche Fehler. Auf jeden Fall Respekt dass du so schnell so gut spielen kannst
personally i don't understand how i learned such a long piece in such a short time i really admire you i can barely play 3 notes 😂
Thanks for your naturalness and honesty. Abrazos desde Medellín- Colombia.
One of my first steps when learning a piece, is listening to some recordings of it. Just to get an idea how it should sound.
That is the MOST important step - listening to the recording, not the reading of the music
Hmmm...sometimes I like not to listen,show I don't unconsciously try to replicate what I just heard,...don't know
Thomas, if you just want be copy/paste musician that's fine, someone else was creative instead of you. But sometimes it's good to have a little creativity and give your own interpretation. Without that, it would be boring and we wouldn't need to hear new artists, but just listen to the old recordings we're used to.
I enjoyed watching you tackle this one. I love this piece, it really captures that Chopin "Beautiful Despair" sound.
I love the red "X"s. Even when you missed the notes, it sounded darn good. And not being able to sight read very well? You fooled me. Great video. I really enjoyed it.
Its fantastic to see her progress from 2 years ago to now.
Jesus that 1 hour one was insanely good.
1,10,1hr videos are so entertaining. You are amazing. I'm not a pianist but I love watching and listening to you play. Bravo!
My practicing recommendation:
1) Get to know the piece as a whole - know your key and rhythm, listen to some interpretation if possible and pick up pencil to set logical phrases to help you with "checkpoints", analyse the form (for example ABACA etc.)
2) Understand where is the melody (what is most singable - can be in the left hand although it's not as common as in the right hand) and practice it first then understand bass notes and make sense of chords and their relationships inside (tonic, dominant etc.; also notice where they occur repeatedly) - that is harmony
3) Do not overpractice and repeat parts you already know - ideally start from the most difficult parts, also do not start practicing from A to Z - that is called performing
4) Try to not make the music stop, use "slow motion" as a practice tool but ALWAYS feel rhythm, don't leave a place unpracticed if you can't fit it in the rhythm
5) Sleep and try practicing the next day - you will notice an improvement, if you skip a day or two a lot will be lost from your last practice
6) Don't practice more than 3 hours a day if you don't feel like it, Chopin practiced about this amount, I believe more will not increase results, only sleep and practicing the next day does
isn't it weird how if you practice right before you sleep you can wake up the next day and play/do it better? I think theres a name for it but I can't remember what it is, it's super cool tho.
Ein tolles Video. Auch wenn ich Lichtjahre entfernt bin von solchen Fähigkeiten, so ist es doch sehr inspirierend, Dir bei dieser Challenge zuzuschauen. 👍
the improvement that she made in one hour still blows my mind! just shows that if you practice even 10 minutes a day you see improvement. WOW!!
Omg das ist so wahnsinnig wie schnell Du so ein schweres Stück liest und umsetzen kannst. Was du in den ersten 10 sekunden erkannt hast hab ich 10minuten gebraucht 🤣 Einfach nur top 🙂👍
And here I am, learning to play piano, super impress at how fast you picked up the general gist of the piece in the first minute.
This is me: Right hand only 1st page 1hour 1 month 1 year challenge
I come from Un Poco De Todo, and let me say that you are AWESOME there are no more words that I know to describe you
“that was so terrible”
plays one of the hardest pieces ever written with only a few mistakes in 10 minutes
Since when is fantasie impromptu one of the hardest pieces ever written? It's pretty easy for professional pianists.
@@PassionPno cool. it's not any easier just because you said so. she had an hour to practice.
@@derpocheesbalsvodsnvids6806 having an hour only doesn’t suddenly transform it into one of the hardest that’s not how it works. It’s brilliant that she can do this but no it’s not difficult compared to a lot of stuff that she has even played doing this
@@addison_1661 99% of music written is fundamentally easier than this, what im basically saying is your opinion on how hard it is doesnt matter
@@derpocheesbalsvodsnvids6806 Your argument makes zero sense.
Valentina Lisitsa did something like this with a Beethoven Sonata although she already pretty much knew the piece and was showing how she worked out difficult parts. She also did a sight-reading video. Nice to see you are humble enough to let people see how even high-level Classical Pianists can struggle a bit when first learning a difficult piece. The Chopin Pics and comments are priceless !!
Your 1 hour is like my never going to happen 😂. Sehr aufregend video, keep it up.
Z tym naszym Chopinem to jest ogólnie JEDNA WIELKA MASAKRA. Dlatego moja droga nie zaryzykowałem, gram na gitarze. I nie mogę sobie jakoś wyobrazić, że chodził pod oknami knajp, podsłuchiwał, a potem takie utwory pisał. Życzę Ci powodzenia dzielna kobieto !
oh wow!, i'm impressed by your insistence and dedication, more than 20 minutes with the same piece is exhausting, you are inspiring, it makes you want to study 4 hours a day to see if in 10 years I read like you. Un abraso enorme desde Colombia.
Love the humor to show we're all human when learning a new song. Still, that's pretty damn good. I now find myself chuckling at my own mistakes on the guitar more.
binge practicing an hour before a lesson, this how I expect it to go. but this is what it always sounds like 10 months later
In tears at my age! Inspired to give it a go. It's so great that you tell us its okay to fail. Chopin would have been proud such a passionate performance.
Really like these videos that you put up, as well as the 1 min classical. I would love to hear some more Schubert/Lizst/Chopin. Or maybe some tchaikovsky piano concertos. I liked how in your other chopin video you kinda dictated what you were practicing and why and such thought that was really interesting.
i can't believe that she can play this piece just in one hour it's just AMAZING
She did better in one minute than I’ve done in two years 😂 😂
I loved this episode. I’m leaning this piece now and it was so great to watch your process. You got up to speed far faster than I ever will. Thank you and bravo!
I really admire your piano playing, but has anyone ever told you that you're reallyyyyy pretty? Cause omg
I'm 23 and I began learning the piano about a year ago! Usually I practice only a few hours a week, but thanks to the stay-home orders I practice for around 2-3 hours a day! When I learn a new piece I try to learn a phrase at a time, the right hand part, the left hand, then putting it together. It amazes me that even while practicing for the first time you can do both!! I try to do hanons every day, and learn something new so I don't have to disappoint my teacher if I forget to learn a song (it has happened quite a few times 😅)
Your videos inspire me to go practice! I hope to be a pianist like you some day!
Actually, quite productive. By the end of the hour you were playing the first section of the impromptu quite nicely, and much of the rest of the music (the famous B section not being a technical challenge) is very repetitive, with the main differences being which notes are emphasized. It is mind staggering to think of how perhaps a weeks work on this piece and you will be very advanced with it! BTW, the Waldensteiner that was playing in the background was very worthwhile as well. Your playing touches the mind as well as the heart.
dude I’ve been practicing this for like 9 months and your 1 hour first page sounds better
That's really great sense of humor. I laught and was impressed all the time. :D
One of my favorite Chopin’s pieces to perform🌹🎹
I think it would be fun to see you try this challenge on Flight of the Bumblebee.
its amazing that u played tuis in 1hour, ur really hardworking and talented pianist
6:54 I usually play each hand reeeeally slow. Very slow😂
beautifull video 🥰💪
I also struggled figuring out the fingering for the run at the start LOOL I feel your pain in the first 10 mins
I practice for an hour (although I rarely take count of the starting and ending time) I start when I feel refresh and stop when I am too frustrated to make any progress
First Step: Practice de first page with left and right hand separated without rhythm. After that I include the rhythm, but very very slowly. After a few days, im getting more secure and I start to increase the speed until i do everything clean. Then i try both hands together repeating all the steps that i made with separated hands. Clearly you have an impressive sheet reading!!
Wow you have patience with this piece. Something I've never had
The after one minute attempt was actually extremely impressive for this piece, the after 1 hour attempt was amazing.
My neck becomes numb after 1-2h, soo that's a sign telling me to take a break (a long one to feel my neck again...)
Same, my forearms start hurting after 2 hours straight
My brain stops working properly after 10 minutes of practice
Learning that in one hour is absolutely crazy that’s amazing
XD....XD...impressive at the end though ;P
I find it amazing how you play the piece. I have been learning it for 7 months and finaly finished it, but your „Betonung“ is so much better than mine. Keep going.
1:27 „Oh, Scheiße!!“
😹 Liebe Grüße
Your 1 hour progress , it’s my few months progress! You are awesome !! No need to feel embarrassing !
Your 10 minutes attempt already sounds way better than my three months version...lol It's impossible to not laugh together with you, thanks for make my quarantine day better!
What an inspiration. Thank you
Your effort and perseverance in action is commendable. good luck😍👍🏼🎹🎶
Haha I'm like a below average piano student at university and thinking about trying this too. Forcing it online might make me practise more actively and be aware whenever I practise. I always have difficulties with sightreading - learning notes to a piece, takes longer than the average student.
I've played piano for a long time and recently got in to classical music, and as such needed to improve my sheet music reading abilities, It took me several months to learn my first piece, and after that I printed 4 more to learn, and I already feel better at reading sheet music but also still making mistakes, it's cool to see what I could do with even more practice, new goals acquired!
Indeed a nice video idea! We spotted your German accent as Swiss hahaha, especially on the "Ah Scheisse!"...
Greetings from Switzerland
I love how you added Waldstein at around 5:40. It’s my favorite classical piece!
