    This 42-minute video explores an in-depth look at Tchaikovsky's "October" from The Seasons, Op.37a. This piece was published in 1876 for a magazine entitled Nouvellist , with a new piece for each month of the year. Areas of focus in this tutorial include pedaling, variety with what lines to voice, dynamic shaping (and variety with shaping on repeated figures), how to create a soft and beautiful tone quality, fingering, interpretation, hand redistribution with large chords, and more concepts to help you become as efficient as possible in your practice sessions.

      Josh Wright Could you make a lecture regarding how not to sound bashy while playing fortissimo and loud in general.
      I Find it hard to voice the melody in some pieces. Thank you if you’re reading this!

    I remember playing this for my ABRSM grade 7 about 13 years ago! It propelled my love for Tchaikovsky, and I still play it now :) Such a joy to listen to others performances of it!

    Thank you for posting this and playing it so beautifully. This piece is quite meaningful for me. I played and posted it here for my uncle a month before he passed. And incidentally, my fiance said seeing the video was the moment he knew he was falling in love. I love how you explain the nuances and subtleties here. You are a wonderful teacher.

    This creaps me out !!! I was just listening to this piece and printed the sheet music to play tomorrow. Learned it as a young teen and was the first piece that moved me this much

    👏👏👏 great analysis of the October piece, and the performance. I was looking everywhere to find a proper performance and analysis in English and finally… Pletnev is the best interpreter of Tsaykovsky opuses… you are lucky to have him as a teacher.

    Aw! It faded just at the "here's a little trick...." :D. I love these pieces. Only just discovered them (at the age of 44). The Seasons and Album for the Young. All wrapped up in Tchaikovsky Piano Collection in Schirmer's Library Vol 2116 along with The Nutcracker Suite and a selection of others including Romance that you mention in the video. One of the best books I've bought for a while. Thanks again Josh, I'll be adding this pro practice to my library.

    I’m only now realizing that the e in “propractice” is made from piano keys.

    I'm an early intermediate player and would love some tips on how to get more range in my sound, ie the forte louder and piano softer. I feel like I know I where I want more dynamics and I'm banging the heck out but I'm just not getting the range, still sound like a robot.
    Normally I play the woodwinds and it's so easy because I just breath and sing, dynamics come out automatically.

    Bravo! How do you capture the sound, so clear and immersive? One mic? Separate audio and video? And ....?
