I agree with what you say about shaping being easier than not shaping at all. I’m beginning to naturally feel what the music wants me to do… even if later I change that choice consciously. Good work and good discoveries mate!
Thanks for the helpful advice, learned a lot from your channel again. But like what you mentioned in the video, knowing and doing is not the same, it's not easy to execute the dynamics after knowing what patterns can be applied. My hands often don't listen to me lol. Need more practice.... Thanks for sharing!
No worries. The best advice I can give you regarding 'doing' is to just practice hands alone to get the dynamics you want. If you do this enough then your hands start doing it automatically while playing hands together. That's part of the reason playing this without dynamics turned out to be harder than with. I was literally fighting my muscle memory.
Thank you! I find dynamics hard as I struggle to control the tone when playing softly and my fingers are almost too gentle on the keys, and so the tone is inconsistent.
Playing softly is tricky. I found on my teachers piano I mistake the escapement for the key bed and don’t play anything. My piano doesn’t have the same issue though.
What is the advice your teacher keeps telling you?

Do you do them? I do one or two a day. I can’t stomach more than that.
very useful! I played this without much thinking about dynamics, but I will have to revisit now...
