    Very interesting. Could you make a video about the correct movement of the fingers? Thanks.

    A question: the circular motion comes seems to ripple out counter-clockwise on the right hand-does that imply it a mirror movement (i.e. clockwise) on the left hand? Or should the left hand be counter-clockwise too?

    • @Khaitoul

      Yes, simply mirroring

      @@Khaitoulthank you Dayvid. I am just beginning to learn and my piano teacher is teaching me Russian technique. I’m amazed that already the sounds I’m producing, though simple, actually already sound “nice”-and it’s down to this minute focus on the way of striking the keys in a circular motion

      Since the piano is essentially a percussion instrument, it changes the attack

    This is not compatible when playing chords, isn't it? I mean, modern pop music.

      The gravity technique of relaxation at the piano is applicable to any music, whether classical, pop, jazz, etc.

    • @pjbpiano
      @pjbpiano Рік тому

      It’s not. The sound you want for modern pop is very different and different motions must be used. Unless you want to end up sounding like a classical pianist’s attempt at pop.

    • @andrewbarrett1537
      @andrewbarrett1537 Рік тому

      I think pop is so broad there are many ways it can be played and techniques that can be used. I don’t understand why you seem to imply with your comment that (I presume) this technique can only be used for slow and/or legato music and not also for Gast and/or staccato music. Why not?

    • @andrewbarrett1537

      I wrote “fast” but autocorrect made it into “Gast”.

    • @pjbpiano
      @pjbpiano Рік тому +1

      @@andrewbarrett1537 I used to think like you until I started playing both. There are just some things that make you sound “classical”. And it’s just not the notes. The technique is also part. And you might notice this a lot more if you are an ardent classical piano listener and you hear someone who plays a lot of pop music attempt to play a classical piece. You would tell that though he’s playing the music, it sounds more like a pop piano than a classical piece.
      This is something we can only tell by ear. In theory, all piano techniques should give you access to every style of music. But in reality, you will simply sound a certain way and it will be almost impossible for you to sound in the other way if you don’t understand how they are creating the sound they are producing from the instrument.

      When you first learn the gravity/weight technique, you exaggerate and then ultimately it can become invisible.

    • @jones2786
      @jones2786 Рік тому +1

      I think this applies to fast, slow, soft and loud passages in order to make the sound “sinks” deeply? I’m not sure but my teacher have been telling me I must use muscles from the back in all piano playing situations to make the sound sings deeply and not resulting in a loud and flat sound, correct me if I’m wrong
