How to play FAST but also SOFT?
The two are often hard to combine because soft playing usually requires more control.
I recommend starting at a louder level first. Make sure that you are able to play the passage with precision at this comfortably loud volume.
Then, incrementally decrease the volume. Adjust your tactile approach as necessary. The changes will be quite subtle…but you will get used to automatically adjusting what is needed per volume level.
Use the soft pedal with care. Don’t let it “take over” for you - like I did here (notice how I swallowed notes right away at first!).
Important tip: Don’t just think of volume. I think it helps to concentrate more on the character of the passage, rather than on volume itself. Ask - WHY are you intending to play this passage soft?
Hope that helps!!
I love the fact that when you play the line gently, it starts sounding more like a synth or a rhodes than an acoustic piano, very cool
That’s because loud sounds are not only louder than soft sounds, they sound different than soft sounds. How prominent which overtones are changes as you go soft, and that’s responsible for what you’re observing.
Is this a song if so can anyone tell me the name
Man, I was thinking the exact same thing about her being able to create an "electric piano" sound on a grand piano. Sure, having a good instrument helps a lot (just think about how Michelangeli was so meticolous about the state of his pianos, especially during live performances and recordings) but as a pianist myself I know how much the 'touch' affects the resulting sound, and I love hers, very unique..
Have you ever noticed that when a singer holding a mic uncorks a really loud note they often pull the mic away from their mouth? Pulling the mic away from your mouth makes the sound softer, a lot softer, so why make a note louder and softer at the same time? Because the singer is looking for the timbre of the loud note without blowing their audience into the next room.
It’s three in the morning and you’re changing radio stations. The first one has an old recording of Cousin Brucie on WABC in NY from the sixties and he’s shouting a mile a minute. You turn to the second one and hear: “That was Beethoven Symphony #3, the Eroica, as played by the Berlin Philharmonic under the baton of Herbert von Karajan.” You switch to the third and you hear, barely whispered: “That was…….Miles,….from……..Kinda Blue.” Now you go back, crank up the jazz DJ, listen to the classical DJ at a normal level, and turn Cousin Brucie way down, so the whispering guy is loudest and the shouting guy is softest. Do you have any trouble telling who’s shouting and who’s whispering?
That’s a vocal manifestation of the phenomenon you’re hearing on the piano.
God exists, creation bears witness to it, but sin separates us from Him, and we sin, and deserve the hell, that is why He sent His Son Christ to live a Holy life, die on a Cross paying the penalty for our sins, saving His chosen ones of condemnation, dark powers and curses, reconciling us with God only by Faith in Jesus and His Sacrifice, *not by works,* so that no one can boast, Giving us Eternal Life, God bless you. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
This really makes me think of breath of the wild music
So glad to see I’m not the only one who immediately thought that!
With the way the musical phrase repeats it totally sounds like that
Me too!
i actually thought it was from it and im suprised its not
ME TOO LOOL
Me panicking thinking something is coming for me in Zelda . Then the sweet relief of leaving the danger .
Ikr
YES
Dude, I'm still at a stage where the only thing I can think of is hitting the right keys in the right timing. I'll think of phrasing in a couple of years.
its better to start practicing phrasing from the start, try it on some really easy pieces
I'm still trying to figure out how to play with both hands at the same time haha we all gotta start somewhere!
I heard somewhere that dynamics are difference between beginners and intermediate players
@@randoprior4130 my teacher would always make me learn harder songs one hand at a time, and then once I'd gotten it I'd play it SUPER slow with both hands, just to get a feeling of the two parts in relation to one another. As you get used to it, you speed it up little by little until you're playing it. It takes a whole lot of practice, I wish you the best of luck!
I’ve been playing piano for three years and I still suck at dynamics lol, it really messes with my head and I end up making more mistakes, but I guess practice makes perfect
When the guardian sees you in breath of the wild
Hell no that's when I get terrified when I first start the next game in the beginning when u see the two guardians near kakariko village ESPECIALLY there bc it's at the beginning when u have nothing but at the end of the game I just feel like I'm saying I FEAR NO MAN or completely armoured 8 legged octopus looking thing
Dude i swear i saw a guardian appear in front of me for a second and i have no miphas grace right now.
sounds like a guardian from BOTW is about to shoot lazer at me
*run*
Don't run. Parry like a real man
Exactly what I thought
OH NO
IT’S SO FUNNY THAT WE ALL THINK OF ZELDA
ah man, that line brings back so many memories of Hiromi and her playing, such a beautiful modern sound
😊
omg that line was VERY similar to the intro from 'time control', wasn't it (you have a great ear for picking that out!): ua-cam.com/video/8G6hKsHHo6c/v-deo.html
edit: it's even in the same key!
It sounds like ‘Nineteen’ by Rob Araujo
Seconded!
Makes sense. Playing fast but soft can be difficult. Many years ago I was fortunate enough to hear Vladimir Horowitz at two recitals on a tour. What impressed me most was the enormous range of dynamics he had within soft.
If this melody isn’t a song already, it need to be. Wow.
😈😈😈
It’s not really a melody… it’s a short run/fill but being repeated several times. But I guess anything repeated over and over could be considered a melody 🤷♂️
Nineteen- Rob Araujo
@@petercampion9028 Thank you. I had to go through way too many comments and replies to find someone else that hears it to. Sounds dead on the same.
@@petercampion9028 good catch! It could be pure coincidence that it sounds similar
It's things like this that makes me really think about adding piano to the instruments I play
Do it bro. You have ur whole life to start
It's very worth it
@@mojotex357 pretty true as I'm a junior in highschool. I think I will.
Kinda reminds me of something you'd hear in a Ghibli film
Will you do a full song with this? It sounds like a battle theme or something. It sounds so cool!
Look up breath of the wild battle theme

@@TheSadMusician i hear it everyday lol, this piece feels so unique though
Late reply but her album “Alice in wonderland” uses similar themes!
The scale sounds just like Nineteen by Rob Araujo.
I'm gonna sample this add some chords and put it over the amen break at 200bpm
Let us know when you finish it! Would love to hear that too
I'd also love to hear this, that sounds nice
I really love how crisp and flexible her technique is. I could watch her hands move for hours. She really inspires me to clean up my movement and focus on details.
Me too!
Her musicianship is through the roof. Just amazing!
would go stupid on breakcore or release cut
For me it has started to become normality to play fast stuff too soft bc I learned it for some of my own pieces and noticed it’s easier for me by now haha
Is there a full version of this?? It just sounds so good
This

Dancing by the Keith Jarrett Trio from the album Changeless sounds pretty similar to me
@@TheIt348 really nice piece thanks for sharing!!
Two songs that sound similar
First is time control or controlled by time by hiromis sonic boom
Second is nineteen by rob araujo
Check out Nineteen by Rob Araujo
Is that just a random play or is there a full song of it? I love that melody so much 🥰
My brain: soft, fast, even. Pick two.
Start with soft and even, then. Fast can come later.
Tienes mucha razón! Gracias!!
I love how casually you do this 😍
Not casual at all they've practiced for years. Just pretending it's casual for the camera
@@ciararespect4296 thanks captain obvious lol
That’s actually such a smooth sample though
You can also work the other way around: start by ghosting your notes, and play with more force until the sound comes through.
You could, but it would be much harder to maintain control and evenness of tone. When starting loud and clear, we'll have less to practice because we already started with a firm foundation, instead of needing to do everything all at once.
Oh my god that flourish at the end is just magical!
Such a great tone from that piano. I wonder if she is just hearing the piano, or also additional sound coming from speakers when playing. I’ve noticed notes get lost on my old piano; I always hear every individual note she plays very clearly.
Fck its jUst make me wanna play BOTW somehow
Dude... I really love your colorful touch on the piano. Would buy a Sol-Debussy-Ravel album in a second!. Ravel's Scarbo with a Nahre Sol piano touch must be pretty awesome.
This would make a crazy sample….love the sound
While playing, I like to think that I am patting a little baby's head, gently and with love
Reminds me of the song Nineteen by Rob Araujo, I thunk it'd be great practice.
Pure eargasm q
This is untitled goose game when you’re about to get caught
A great example of this is kora kora by Simon Jeffes. He completely shows the effect of soft and hard playing whilst speed is maintained.
Nahre, thank you for this eye-opening demonstration!!!!! I wish, I just could repeat after you and not just watch and be in awe of your mastery!
As a drummer and guitarist beginning to learn the piano, this seems beyond my comprehension
Bro just do bends on your piano, it ain't that hard
@@aeea3306 it was a joke, but thanks ig
What are you talking about, you can actually play soft and gentle the guitar and the drums, depending om what you require 😂
@@squallgf88 it’s a joke but thanks ig 🤦
Hint:
She's. . . Very good!
Her expression says it all too!
Just wonderful!
I love you… every fiber of your being is a teacher as well as a master musician

정말 멋져요.
아는만큼보인다고 얼마나 대단한지...
실력을 본받고싶네요
Increíble... Será alguna melodía la que toca o solo es escala? Pero suena hermosamente maravilloso! Si alguien sabe dígame, no quiero morir con la duda :'u
Se parece a "nineteen" por Rob Araujo es el mismo acorde al menos

En los demás comentarios todos dicen lo mismo que tu…
You are ridiculously good. I know... practice, practice, practice.😂 thank you for the tips and inspiration.
Please teach us your techniques
Reminds me of nineteen by rob araujo
Clicked comments to see if someone thought the same and could remember which of robs songs it was lol
Instantly thought of that one, but couldn't remember who played it. Thanks for that. I love that song!
Your smile is so wholesome!!✨✨
This reminds me of a calming phone ringing... really it is mesmerizing how well you control the cadency
In my vocal lessons we are focusing on the importance and power of 'listening'. I think you are presenting a lovely example of this here.
Helpful and Delightful.
Thank you
I was wondering if that was a example or actually a piece. May I know the name of It?
If anybody knows song name let us know!
@@life_is_gr8 I don't think THIS is a song, but [M.A.Y In the Backyard - Ryuichi Sakamoto]’s head/melody has a similar style.
@@harshlanguagebluebreachloa7053 any idea which notes she’s using in that scale? And thanks I’ll check out that song
@@life_is_gr8 Fm9
@@life_is_gr8 it goes F2 - C3 - G3 - Ab3 - Bb3 - F3 - Ab3 - Eb4 - G4
Is this music original? Or is it from somewhere? Pls it sounds so beautiful I want to hear more
Reminds me of thunder cat- how sway
Nineteen - Rob Araujo
I love you Nahre, your mix of enthusiasm and pedagogical clarity is the best 😄
🙌🏼 Out of all shorts on UA-cam, I only watch yours.
Call me by your name OST
Sounds like the beginning of a "big brain moment" ost
This reminds me of riding on my horse in the fields of hyrule in Breath Of The Wild. Such great nostalgia.
ur smile is just ahhh
It reminds me of some Ghibli movie/Breath of the wild song
Idk
I like it so much
We need a complete version
I'm subscribing,I wanna see if you'll ever do a complete version
It sounds like delerious from Jjk
Facial expressions are just adorable
Lang Lang is so good with dynamics as you are demonstrating. You're a wonderful teacher. ❤️
Is this part of a full song? Can anyone tell me the name?
Anomalie song I think!
Nineteen - Rob Araujo
@@petercampion9028 thank you so much!
relax the hand, dont tense up
this sound is actually really satisfying lmao thank you for this
Nahre, your talent is evident in every little thing. Thanks for all your posts
Is this a song and where can I listen to it lol
How do pianists train their hand like that. I try to play keyboard through those yt tutorial where the notes are falling but my hands are stiff though I can play the beginner versions like that of the theme song of howls moving castle
You gotta actually learn the instrument and not have those bars dropping all the time, we have a thing called “sheet music” which every other instrument uses.
Do exercises, so much of piano playing is having muscle memory in every single pattern. Memorize the note progression of the song and then just practice it. I can assure you after a while (couple of weeks)you'll be able to play it just fine.
Then there's me. The caveman tying to unga bunga on the keyboard sound like i fell down a flight of stairs grabbing whatever would save me.
The nuance in music is the evocation
Tell me please!! what is the name of this song????
might be nineteen by rob araujo
Binary data
In my own playing I’ve also been thinking more about character and the emotion I want to convey instead of just technical playing
For those who don't know the Key yet, is E flat major/C minor, is not just and ascending but also playing octaves higher, that makes the scale sound more lively (sorry for poor english)
These shorts are so entertaining it makes everyone’s day better! Who agrees? 💗
Oh, I DO like the sound you make playing.
Oh my goodness she's so good and this is so helpful!
Nice. I also enjoy playing scales. 😉
There is something about this riff that is making my brain approach 100% power. I NEED to hear the whole thing!
I'm not a pianist but I stayed for the line
Love this exercise!! 😍 So beautiful and very useful (I can imagine). Trying to figure out the notes is it: F Ab G Ab Bb F Ab Eb G?
Girl, let me just keep it real: You’re my new YT piano teacher.
Wow that incredible, it's sound like a shynts, your a genius
It's 2024 and a live musician just gave me a decent tip for mixing.
What a time to be alive.
Insanely great dynamic control tip 😋🎼🎮
Beautiful touch and dynamics
Omg I want to learn this so badly I don't even know what it is but it sounds so cool
I love your playing and I'm kinda jealous xD proud of you
i find it also helpful to work in the opposite direction- mastering playing it with no tone at all, then gradually bringing the sound up out of the silence.
This would make such a fire math rock song
That tickled my brain
I'm stil stuck in the "fast" stage, playing soft couldn't be less of a concern. But if ever I do learn to play fast, I'll keep this in mind.
Her smile alone deserves the gold medal ,...not to mention her piano playing.
Just awesome. Not only the dynamics but note choice also. Really stunning!
This is why I wanna be a musician !
For us beginners ... NICE!!!! Thank You for showing little differences here!
Wow! The keys look like a liquid you're splashing your hand into. Beautiful.
That's so simple a method - approach from distance rather than going straight to the objective. I wonder how to approach doing loud with one finger and quiet with another of same hand in a harmony- can't play it, though want to write it.
Thanks so much for the demo!!
Literally the best piano teacher of all time
1 month learning piano just by watching tutorials on youtube and some books
Anyway..
The only words in my head :
I love you ♥️🥰
it really sound like a really tense and climactic moment in an anime
This type of practice/exploration has been most helpful to me
Reminds me of Zelda breath of the wild … when there is a battle
