This really helped me grasp the polyrhythm by ear/counting it and the muscle memory for this piece, I found your explanation was a much more thorough way to do this than "just keep doing it slowly til the muscle memory kicks in". I found your way helps me to feel much more in control of keeping count. Thanks so much for sharing, your video helped me pick up this piece again after ditching it for a month due to the polyrhythm throwing me off as a self learner.

same, i had real trouble with the polyrythms in this piece, i could do them slowly but when i increase the tempo everything gets messy. I didn't know how to practice my polyrhythms until i found this video, which helped me a big deal in actually get my polyrhythms into order

Well this is sooooo good. Really so much love for this video. I had the exact problem and no one talked about it, I could easily play it slowly but when I would go faster sometimes I would play it good but I had like no feeling of ''control'' and as you said I couldn't hear much rythm in it. Thank you so much for this! :)

I have the same trouble! Do I just need to keep playing it again and again?

I learnt the whole thing, then did grade 7, grade 8 and ARSM, and now I've forgotten how to do it 😭

Just practice it, maybe go over the notes again and play and I'm sure it'll all come back because of muscle memory!!

Thank you!

I have finally managed to do it! Brilliant way to explain this polyrhythm. Thank you.

Love this video and thanks for spreading the knowledge. I just started this piece today I’m so excited.

This is so helpful, thank you so much! Really great way to look at it

Finally a good video on this. Time to learn this piece :)

THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE I can't wait to try this. I kept just playing both hands slow and trying to get up to speed but without much luck!

I have a student working on this right now. I had him do a similar exercise, but flipped, playing the left hand as is, but playing the aligning right hand notes, then adding them beat by beat. It worked nicely.

A wonderful lesson from a wonderful teacher ! Thx a lot !

first time on your channel. 2 minutes into watching ur video and im already your subscriber. thanks!

Woah! This absolutely helped! Thank you so much!

This video helped me SO much. Thank you

Love this video.... so helpful!

Very good tips-Thanks!

This is excellent!

This helped me a lot learning this piece.

Another good tip for learning the polyrhythm

Super cool, I learned this nearly 20 years ago and have tried pretty much every one of the practice methods mentioned, they all helped with various aspects. Hardest thing for me was the left hand staying within the beat, it likes to rush. Lots of going back to basics during practice sessions. Love this piece though, it sure is satisfying indeed.

this was so helpful.. thank you!

You are a great teacher.

I haven’t even finished your video and I completely and utterly respect you! Thank you for your amazing personality! This helped lots.

This helped SOO MUCH thank you

Thank you so much! This really helps

Thank you very much, teacher.

I learned the piece this exact same way, one time 3 notes at the left hand and the other time 4 notes at the right hand, then I alternated both hand until I got the polyrhythm, then exactly like you said, it came naturally. I would have never did it by using math, I was certain it would come the way you explained, it came after a few days then many years later I can still play the piece without doing any wrong notes.

WOW! Thanks so much! That never occurred to me. I'll try this. Regards.

brilliant this helped me so much!

I'm going to try your suggestions.

Thanks a lot 🎶 🎹 !

My God this is genius, i spent hours trying to figure it out and in 10 minutes using this i got out down haha.

I also did what he came up with, no pedal and only bass/overlapping notes on the left hand. eventually, very quickly actually, I added the other two to fill the gap, but kept them unpronounceable while all emphasis on every third. I have never counted or trying to recreate the polyrhythm - it just happened by itself when left hand filled the gaps.

I'm not playing this piece or any Chopin piece any time soon, but still great video and itll be helpful for me in the future!

consolation no 3 is a great piece to start having some plyrhytms it helped me learn the 3/2 polyrhytm and isn't too difficult only the polyrhym is the challenge

Lol you must have been so confused

thanks SO much! Ill try this. My problem (can play all the notes in both hands slowly) is that my left hand wants to go into the rhythm ta - tata ta - tata instead of even tatata trioles, hopefully this helps, great educational video, thanks!

Very good ideas here. I have been a pianist all of my life and am now approaching this piece. Your ideas are sound. I was supposed to work on the Chopin Scherzo in c sharp minor with my teacher, but never got around to it. I was swamped with repertoire at that point. Do you have any tips on putting together the middle section with the descending notes in both hands? I find it difficult to execute this section smoothly and softly. Thanks!!!!! Also, you play beautifully and so lyrically.

For years, I have tried analyzing it slowly the hard way but could never get it up to speed. This has truly been a light-bulb moment. Thank you very much for posting. Now if only I could apply this same technique to the second half of Stravinsky's Etude Op. 7 No. 2 for the 6:5 polyrhythm.

I alway fall off my Bicycle, esp when I play the Piano ! Thank you, I was just looking to see how other Musicians approach 4:3 :)

That took me forever to get when I learned this 9 years ago.

Hi. Great job. Do you drink tea?

Fantasie Impromptu isn't the only piece in 3:4 time though, this difficulty will be there for any waltz piece correct?

Excellent

I find the slow section difficult because of the ornaments, most videos discuss how to play the fast part

in drums, the 3:4 polyrhythm's saying is Pass the goddamn butter, instead of where did you work today. pass the goddamn butter is easier to remember because the accent on the words match the accent on the polyrhythm, Pass, God, But. whereas "where did you work today" sounds wrong because the accent on the saying is Where, You, To. whereas the accents on the words should be Where, Work, Day

Isn’t “where did you work today” emphasising the 4 beats, (where, did, work, day) rather than the 3 beats

@@davew786 if you actually play the rhythm, then you will find that it is a lot more useful to accent the triplet instead of the quads. even in the video, he naturally accents the triplet

I like peanut butter also works!! i llike pe nut but tr!

This piece has a really asonishing similarity to Czerny's quite unknown study op. 755/22. Is this an coincidence? I don't think so......

I made a midi file to practice the correct tempo 3/4 in synthesia drive.google.com/drive/folders/12_eLwZrXkjf7a5fZmVd3S_doCZJPdSzQ

2:01 no pun intended of course :)

Fantastic explanation here! The "ta tata ta" really helps. This piece (as with any difficult piece) for me, is going to be practiced VERY slowly until I can get it to speed and more importantly, being able to distinguish the notes and not a blur! I really enjoyed Daniil Trifonov’s version even after hearing Horowitz! (Gasp!)Trifonov is amazing. Here he is and thx for this. it really helps. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ea1pt6qEZKjLfZs.htmlsi=0b5ApYC6LK0OL7qC
