I've never seen a better video on arpeggios. They pose a problem for many intermediate piano students. PLEASE make a slightly longer, slower one!!

Thank you so much! :) Sadly, my overloaded PCA schedule doesn't allow me to post on KZitem too often, but if this topic comes up in another piece I decide to share here, I will definitely analyze it in depth. And, of course, on our site you can find the progressive lessons of our Scale & Arpeggio Course, where I cover the fundamentals of arpeggio playing in lots of detail :). You can find out more about this Course by reading my answer to question No. D3 from our FAQ page (www.pianocareeracademy.com/faqs).

@@pianocareer I knew you were busy. It's astounding how arpeggios are not well explained, and they are absolutely essential to advance. Small adjustments make the difference between the beautiful, even, fluid style you have and a frustrating, intractable "speed bump" that no one seems to be able to analyze correctly and fix! Anyway, I thought I'd ask.

This video was excellent. Thank you so much for making it. By the way, how would you use the pedal in this prelude?
@pianocareer

Thank you! The 'default' pedaling technique for most romantic pieces is the 'delayed pedal' (which is also called the 'legato pedal'). However, this technique is not used mechanically - but under the strict guidance of our hearing (and its exact implementation depends on the character of the piece and the expressive tasks of each phrase). You can learn more by watching my free pedaling tutorials: 1. Using the Piano Pedals - The Art Behind the Mechanism (www.pianocareer.com/piano-pedal/piano-pedals-art/). 2. Using the Piano Pedals - On Style and Notation (www.pianocareer.com/piano-pedal/piano-pedals-style/).

@@pianocareer Thank you. That's very helpful. Rachmaninov seems to provide more information regarding tempi, etc than other composers of his day, and so one has to be careful not to do something that he wouldn't have done in this respect.

Could you do a video on how to improve trills, or how to practice them?? It's something I've been struggling with recently...

Hi! I have already recorded a detailed video tutorial on this topic: it is entitled "How to Practice Trills. Step-by-Step Guide", and it is available in the Members Area of PianoCareerAcademy.com :). You can learn more about the functionality of my Piano Coaching Program by taking a look at our FAQs (www.pianocareeracademy.com/faqs/).

Did you practice this piece many times to play it in this smooth pace or its just of your long time of experience that makes that happen Does an experienced pianist also strugles in moving between octaves at the first time of playing a new piece?
@pianocareer

Hi! This piece is actually not in my repertoire - but I did practice it a little before recording this video :). Indeed - the more experience we have (and the better we know HOW to practice), the easier it becomes to learn a new piece or fragment. Regarding 'moving between octaves': if you talk about the ability of 'navigating' big distances on the keyboard in an effortless and fluid manner - this is not difficult at all if we use the correct techniques :). You see, many piano students nowadays don't study the fundamentals correctly: instead of learning how to play with free, relaxed, ample gestures from the very first piano lesson (as we do in the Russian piano school) - they begin their journey with a stiff '5-finger position'. This limited 'finger-only' playing makes them 'cling to the keys' (as I like to call this phenomenon) - and this has many unpleasant consequences: tension, poor sound quality, lack of freedom, lack of power, expressionless playing, speed barriers - and, of course, difficulty in performing effortless jumps and hand position changes. However, once we learn how an ergonomic technique really works - all these problems naturally disappear :). Therefore, 'moving between octaves' can only be a issue if we use an incorrect technique (and practice approach).

PianoCareer Thanks a lot for these many information. You're absolutely right about the cling to the keys The problem is that learning the beginners stuff always burns enthusiasm of playing the piano, which leads to switching to a more difficult and beautiful pieces, which will result to the "cling to the key" as you said. The solution is that we have to go through the boring beginners stuff, unless we want to stay as beginners

Yes, exactly! Spot on - very well said! :) This is especially true when the beginner pieces are indeed very boring (or taught incorrectly, by using the '5-finger' mechanical approach). I agree - the beginner repertoire will never be as 'exciting' as a Prelude by Rachmaninoff, a Nocturne by Chopin, or Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. However, there ARE many wonderful beginner pieces out there, that most students simply don't know about. For example - Tchaikovsky's "Children's Album" is full of wonderful masterpieces of real artistic value (some of them are analyzed in my tutorials on PianoCareerAcademy.com). Maykapar has many great pieces too; also Schumann (in his "Album for the Young"), Prokofiev, Kabalevsky, Bartok, Khachaturian etc. etc. So it's entirely possible to make the beginner stage more exciting (not just useful) - and this is one of the main goals of my Video Course for Beginners (that our members really enjoy following). By the way, I really loved the last sentence from your comment - "we have to go through the boring beginners stuff, unless we want to stay as beginners" - I might quote you in one of my future videos :))).

Hi! Do you have any advice on voicing the part from the bottom of page 1 thru bottom of page 2?
@pianocareer
Жыл бұрын
Hi Missy! It's been a while since I recorded this video, so I would have to find the score and practice the piece again in order to be able to offer valuable tips 😊 (which sadly I don't have time for). However, the basics of voicing always remain the same: 1. Visualize the result with your inner hearing (imagine how the voice you wish to bring out is deeper, more melodious than the surrounding texture). 2. Practice hands separately, one little phrase/motif at a time; channel more weight into the hand (or fingers) playing the main voice; deep, gradual, weighted whole-arm key attack for the main voice, softer touch for the surrounding voices; there should be a difference of at least 2 dynamic gradations between main voice and secondary voices. 3. You can practice non-legato first, then add the final articulation effect when it is easy to play the main voice much deeper than the rest. 4. Keep tracking this voice with your hearing, connecting it into a meaningful whole; use the intoning technique if this voice forms a singing melody [watch my free tutorial on this topic: kzitem.info/news/bejne/sKelp4uke6x5mmU ]. 4. When each hand is well mastered, combine both hands together. 5. Slowly incorporate dynamics and phrasing, increasing the tempo if needed when the previous tempo step is 100% comfortable. I also have super-detailed videos on voicing in the Members Area of PianoCareerAcademy.com, where I demonstrate this entire process in a step-by-step manner. I hope this helps! ;)
