Thank you for this wonderful video. I couldn't agree more. I use the Russian Piano Schools volume 1 and 2 for my beginner students as well and have made really good experiences with them. Whoever is starting with piano: Danae knows what she is talking about. Listen to her. ;) I always enjoy watching your videos! Hope you are doing well. Greetings from Regensburg!

After listening to your video, I searched out your recommendations for beginners repertoire, and enjoyed playing them immensely. I started with different repertoire in England, so it was great to play pieces that started your journey off. Ps. I agree with you that the Bartok pieces are brilliant! Richard.

Great recomendations!!! Thanks a lot. I'm just a beginner and I also recommend: Album for Anna Magdalena Bach, and Burgmuller Op.100 25 easy studies. Very enjoyable both of them.

I'd add Stephen Hellers etudes (called etudes, but are actual pieces of music, not Czerny etude style finger exercises). Tchaikovsky's Album for Children is awesome (liked it more than the Schumann one when I was starting out). Also Granados has written an album for children - some really pretty pieces in there. Field's 5th nocturne was my introduction into the world of Nocturnes - really nice one. I absolutely hated Bartoks Microcosm as a beginner though. Whenever my teacher suggested it, I've thrown him an evil look. 🤪

Haha that’s funny! ;) How great that you also played the Field Nocturne No. 5 - it was my first Nocturne as well. Yes, and I completely agree with the Stephen Heller and the Tchaikovsky Album for Children!

When I was a child I played a lot of Sonatinas like Kuhlau, Koehler, Diabelli, Beethoven etc. And the Album für die Jugend from Tschaikowsky, too. Sometimes Schumann, sometimes Tschaikowsky. And I really LOVED little Schubert pieces. From my grandmother we had an old book of easy opera transcriptions and I really loved this, too (Händel "Xerxes" for example and stuff like that) and she also had a 4 hand book with transcriptions with really crazy stuff that was modern when she was a child (russian national anthem from 1904 for example, festivity songs from the Rhine area, german folk songs in very amazing poetic transcriptions etc.). Unfortunately this book is not printed nowadays, it was incredibly beautiful, very poetic and full of fantasy.

But every day i wake up and i notice i have made little progress so i am happy with how it's going.

So I was watching the video, and wasn't sure I recognized any of the pieces you mentioned, just by hearing their names. (In fairness, there's a LOT of music I know by heart, that I don't remember the name of the piece or even who its composer is, I just recognize it when I hear it. Makes it difficult to try to look up some pieces online, cause I might know the chords, accompaniment pattern, riffs, etc, but not much about the lyrics for those types of songs. Also while I might know the melody or at least part of it, I feel like I need the instrumentation, chords, etc. as well, especially for less well-known songs.) BUT ... when I look up some of those pieces on KZitem, I recognized: Bach: Inventio 1 In C Major, BWV 772 Inventio 4 In D Minor, BWV 775 (actually recognized this one from its use at the beginning of an arrangement I've heard of the gospel hymn "We Shall Behold Him", although that one started in the key of C Minor. I can't find it online, but I might still have a MIDI file of it, that I had gotten back in the mid/late 1990s or so, buried somewhere on my other PC.) Inventio 8 In F Major, BWV 779 Clementi: Sonatina No. 1 In C Major I. Allegro Sonatina No. 2 In G Major (maybe) I. Allegretto Sonatina No. 3 In C Major (maybe) I. Spiritoso Sonatina No. 4 In F Major (maybe) I. Con spirito Sonatina No. 5 In G Major (maybe) I. Presto Sonatina No. 6 In D Major I. Allegro con spirito Schumann (there were some others that almost sounded somewhat familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on them. These were quickly recognized though): 10. Fröhlicher Landmann, von der Arbeit zurückkehrend 12. Knecht Ruprecht 28. Erinnerung I almost feel like I"ve heard John Field's Nocturne 5 in B-flat major, H.37 Andantino somewhere before.... Chopin Mazurkas: Mazurka in A Minor, Op. 68 No. 2 Mazurkas, Op. 6: I. M.M. in F-Sharp Minor (While looking up Thomas Larcher, I came up with some in a style I generally don't care for -- basically with more dissonant chords, odd timings, etc, that's mostly found in more recent pieces, at least I think composed within the last 50 or 100 years or so. Then I realized my search results also included some other pieces and I had clicked on those. Finding the poems, I see I could probably grow to like some of those.) Oh, of course ... Mozart, Piano Sonata in C major, No 16, K 545, Allegro ... I recognized that one. (Why is it, though, that I can almost never seem to remember to connect the names of pieces to what I remember them sounding like? Also I often don't recognize pieces just by reading the sheet ... fairly recently I came across... I think it was the sheet music to the first movement of Moonlight Sonata and I didn't recognize it at first. Speaking of Moonlight Sonata ... I might want to try to prank some friends that might only know the first movement, if I have an opportunity.... if I'm sitting at a piano and someone asks me to play Moonlight Sonata .... play the *THIRD* movement. 😂 I'd need to learn it, though.)

Hello Danae and thank you very much for this video. A question arises. You are suggesting about ten books. Is there any order in which they have to be follow? Or it has to be played one piece of each one at time? Thank you
Жыл бұрын
This depends on the amount of time you have, but generally, I would suggest a selection of different styles as a repertoire. Maybe one Bach, one or a couple of technical Czerny study for example and one classical piece. This is more or less how I started learning. :) Thanks for watching and happy holidays!

I use the edition of Henle - is there a way you can order them in your local music store? Otherwise, you could also use IMSLP. Here is a direct link to the score of these specific pieces: imslp.org/wiki/Kleine_Präludien_und_Fughetten_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian)

Haha I guess this always depends on the perspective of course. Although I would say that the „Russian School of Piano“ and some of the other pieces that I mentioned in this video, truly are „beginner“ repertoire pieces - under all circumstances. Some of the other ones might be moving towards intermediate, however I am speaking form the perspective of a professional pianist looking back at my very early stages and the pieces that I and piano students around me played in the very first years of learning the piano. All the best to you!
