6:35 - Exercise 1 8:03 - Exercise 2 8:34 - Exercise 3 9:47 - Exercise 4 11:06 - Exercise 5

There are so many comments saying almost the same - "...your teaching has changed my whole approach to piano studying and playing...(or similar)"- I can only add that I can't believe how fast and effectively I managed to stretch the hands (¡ while hitting the correct keys !) and thus be able to enjoy this beatiful love song....feels like advancing 3 years in 3 months !

This makes me so happy to read, thank you very much and thanks for watching!

Thanks. Some great ideas about approaches to practise including the easily forgotten 'practise slowly'. Many thanks again. 🙂

I love watching the playing from above, and how easy the stretches and jumps in both hands seem to be in the hands of the player. Thrilling to view.😀

Danae, this lesson, in particular, revolutionized my entire approach to practicing. I've integrated your practicing methods in Beethoven's sonatas, bach preludes, and fugues. Taking small bites a measure at a time, stopping on the first note of the next group then repeating the last note for the next bit. Being sure to slightly raise my wrist at the end to release all tension. I bought your technique-building exercise but I could not figure out the fingering for the trill exercise when transposing it to the left hand. I have a feeling that is one of the most valuable in the set for technique building. Thank you.

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much and I am so glad that you are finding the exercises helpful. The fingering of the trill exercise for the left hand is basically identical to the right hand when you mirror the position the fingers of the right hand in your left hand. So, when you start on E with the thumb of your left hand and then trill with E flat, D, D flat and C, you are using the exact same fingerings as in the right hand. Hope this helps! And thanks again for watching! :)

Another great video. This was the first Chopin study I “learned” to play. Still have difficulty with inaccuracy in the jumps, so will try your tips. I also have trouble seamlessly switching the melody to the inner line in a couple sections too, and also trying to make the ending section sound light and effortless. Still a work in progress!

Danae, thank you so much for this very informative tutorial. You and your sister Kaelin are such a joyful delight to watch! This video ⁸gives me much more incentive to keep working on this piece. I have trouble with the fingerings for some of the more diificult phrases and leaps. Not sure sometimes between using fingers 3 & 4 and between using fingers 4 & 5 on the right hand. I'm waiting to see which is more natural, but it's still a little awkward. I'm trying my best to follow Arthur Friedheim's fingering. Your sister makes it look so easy. Very nice Kadeli! Kudos to her! Great tutorial for sure.

Wonderful steady hands Danae (and thanks to sis for playing) I love how you share your ideas for learning a piece. You encourage an old novice like me to try beyond basic playing and appreciate master composers' works. I very unmusically graphed out the notes of Chopin's opus 10.1 and stutter through it at only 40 bpm, but will be years before it's listenable. I'm going to try these methods on 25.1

This was great. Very helpful. I'm working on this etude now. Would you consider do a tutorial on the revolutionary etude?

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the suggestion, I will add it to my list! :)

Thank you, Danae! How would you recommend to build the practice day by day? Would you, for example, take the first exercise and play the entire study till the end, then the second, etc. - or would you take the first part of the study and make all the exercises, then proceed with the second part of the study? I’m asking because it’s hard to practice all your great suggestions for all the study in a single day. So what day-by-day tactic would you recommend?

2 жыл бұрын

I would suggest to go through a part of the study with the exercises that I mentioned. But you don’t need to do every single one of the exercises, you can switch it up a bit. For example, you can do half bar sections on one day and full bat sections on the other day. Hope this helped! 🤗

I wish you will do the op 25 n 11 too

Thank you again for your wonderful tips of Chopin Etudes! If you could add op. 25, no. 3, that would also be helpful. Many students have tension in their arms when practicing that etude as in this one as well. Even though op. 25, no. 1 and op. 25, no. 3 are vastly different in character and texture, I find that students have the same issues in both etudes because of movement and direction of the hands and arms and how to bring out the top lines. It is possible for students with smaller hands to play these etudes well and as in all of Chopin etudes, one can be very comfortable in a pattern and then certain modulations present real problems technically.

Thanks a lot for the awesome video Danae!! Just wondering as a concert pianist who always meets new pianos, how do you adjust to the different touches of piano? Recently I practised Chopin's op 10 no 8 on a Yamaha, and performed it on a Kawai. It felt so different, the clarity of sounds was hard to produce, and I slipped multiple times. Thanks for reading this long comment, I am truly grateful for the time you spent on us KZread followers. I'm also a huge fan of the sister trill channel, love the in-depth conversations between you and Kiveli. Yours sincerely from Australia. ❤️❤️

Playing on a different piano every time is definitely one of the difficulties of being a pianist. But it is something that you get used to over time and at some point, you know which places of the pieces you want to try out to have a pretty good idea of the piano you will play.

Thanks Danae for the great tutorial. It is indeed a great video. 😁😁👍🏻I was wondering in the middle part where right hand plays 6 notes but left hand plays 4 or 5 notes in a single beat for a short period of time. May I know when we practice with hands together, how should we synchronize these 2 different note beats?

Жыл бұрын

I will link two videos that I have made on this subject in the past A more general video on Polyrhythms: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z21r2KSvn5u6kto.html And the typical Chopin “garland” polyrhythms: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZWKudeJXa7Qm6g.html Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Hi Danae, very nice video! I had been working on this one a few months ago, I will have to dig it out again and try some of you techniques. You didn't comment on the various polyrythms, do you have any suggestions for practicing those? Also, there are bars where emphasis is moved from the first note of the beat to the second or third (I'm going by memory). Those were tricky.

2 жыл бұрын

As far as the polyrhythms are concerned, in this specific case, I wouldn’t count them out, but rather just practice the feeling of each beat in the separate hands and then put them together. However, my general approach to polyrhythms in more detail is in this video I made some months ago - you can take a look in case that helps as well: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z21r2KSvn5u6kto.html When the emphasis moves, I would suggest to feel free to take some time in order to bring the emphasis out and still create a beautiful sounding phrase. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏🏻

what about the section where the base is in double time verses triple time?

I am getting a tense right hand thumb only (never left hand thumb) especially on that ending Ab Major arpeggio, the thumb wants to lock under the hand. When it gets real bad i can even stop playing and see the thumb stuck in a cramp. 😣 I have this problem too with other etudes like Op 25 no 12. or Op 10 n 8. Anywhere where the right hand thumb has to stretch then go under then stretch. My left hand has no such problem even when the difficulty is abou;the same in both hands (Op 25 n 12). If you know of an exercise or some mind trick i can do i would be grateful.

Danae, how do you get the hands to finally coordinate when the note patterns seem to change every quarter bar? This and just playing some of the notes is my current dilemma. So I have to go really slow when playing both hands together. Pray for me 🙏. Thanks.

Going slow in the beginning is key! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Hi Danae, thx again for your new vid. During the 1st bars of Chopin op. 25 I noticed your body language . Respectfully I'd like to know why your legs are positioned closed to each other? Does it feel more comfortable? Have a great day and pls stay in touch with us. Kinds!

It depends on what I am playing, in this case I like to feel centered and put my legs close to each other because my arms are doing big jumps. In other pieces, this might be different though. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I would say that if you have been playing for a few years (and have played some Czerny and maybe Hanon and similar studies) and are now looking to build your technique for some “harder” repertoire, then that is the time to start with this study. ;) All the best to you and thanks for watching!
