❤ FANTASTIC RECOMMENDATIONS !!!!

Some comments and then some questions for the Q&A. Your are very talented and an excellent pedagogue. Your knowledge is consolidated, surprisingly mature and you explain each topic very well. In addition, your blouse is lovely! Now the questions: when may I expect a book on practice? What motivates you to do all these for free? Do you give online lessons? Would you prefer to teach or to be a concert pianist? How important do you think playing in a duet, with a teacher or fellow student, is? Is Gould the best Bach’s interpreter? What is your model pianist and musician? What brand and model practice instrument do you own? I have much more, but I don’t want to monopolise. :) keep safe.

Arrau is my favorite pianist, so glad you mentioned him :) Another thing that I find interesting is that he said he could play the piano at any time, I mean without warming up, like always ready. I suppose it was part of his early training with Martin Krause. My question: Which historical sources do you think are a must for pianists? (concerning style, technique, etc.).

An unvaluable video. Great. Thanks Danae.

What new pieces are you currently working on? Do you play any concertos? What would be the next one you would like to learn?

I love your videos! I have 2 questions for Q&A: 1. I would love to hear about mental practice, and 2. What do you do on days when you are not motivated to practice?

Also, what is your current favorite piece to play? Any particular reason?

My question is: what is the hardest piece you have ever played and how long did it take to learn it?

Thank you very much🙂 I like that you are very specific when you talk about the practice. It helps me a lot.

Thank you for your fine series of commentaries on the piano and ‘pianism.’ One small observations, in the interest of clarity: your command of English is magnificent; nonetheless, I have never heard English-speaking musicians, in America, at least, refer to Chopin Études as ‘Studies,’ which, of course, they are. I believe ‘étude’ is universally understood in this case-and ‘study’ in English is rather general and imprecise. If you say, ‘Chopin Études,’ we know you are talking about “Revolutionary,” “Butterfly,” “Winter Wind,” etc. Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know, I didn’t know that and will definitely keep that in mind. 👌🏻 And thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Absolutely love your channel, so grateful for your excellent and thorough explanations. I see your classes at a basic level, but will you also offer intermediate? I asked my piano teacher how to structure my practice and wasn't able to get an answer... and you articulate it in such a clear and helpful manner I would rather spend my money on your classes :D

Thanks so much! Right now, I only have this one piano course out (linked in the description box) with all the basic exercises, but my KZread tutorials cover different exercises and pieces of all levels. But if I make a new piano course, I will definitely post it here! 🤗

Richter, as he said in his autobiography by B. Monsaingeon, pretended to play each day two to three hours, but if he missed playing them, he tried to catch them up the next days. He wrote that finally he didn't catch up all the hours he missed in his life.

Hi Danae. Is that the top you wear when you go into Schools? If not, it’s very jazzy!

Hi Danae. Firstly, thanks for your lessons and insights. I have pointed many pupils to your lesson on slow practice. My issue just now is my left hand which is no longer capable of playing. Hopefully to be fixed sometime after lockdown. So for the last few months I have been working on Op 10 no 1 - can be played with one note in the left. Your lesson on that is a great help again. Do you have suggestions of possible RH repertoire? I can't find any. Plenty of LH music though. Thanks Jim

And Emil Gilels? (My favorite pianist)

I absolutely love his playing as well! To be honest, I haven‘t come across an indication about how long or how he practiced yet, but will keep my eyes open. 😉

Hi, great video it really helped me, but I have a question. Do you practice any voicing and sound control exercises or do you just practice those things in the pieces. Because I big problem I see in my piano practice is that I’m spending way too much time doing technique and sound control exercises instead of practicing my pieces. Thank you in advance👍🏻

2 жыл бұрын

I usually practice voicing and sound control in the pieces because ultimately, every note you play in a piece, is in a way, a sound control and voicing exercise. If I come across a passage that I really struggle with, I may try to create or find a separate exercise connected to it, but generally, I practice these things from within a piece.

Need different type of both hand independent exercise...and different types of left hand accompany patterns

In the minute 5:54 you prrsented another pianist, could you tell me the name again, please? I couldnt undestand it. Thank you very much.

Hello, my question is: why, in general, publishing houses, record labels, and above all, musicians, keep playing and recording the same pieces by the same composers over and over again? That is to say, all the "great pianists" have their CDs of "Chopin Nocturnes" or "Beethoven Sonatas" (and almost always the same ones) and they leave out other composers. For example, I love the music of Stephen Heller, not only his Etudes for piano, but his more "sophisticated" pieces, but in general the great pianists ignore this type of repertoire. Much of his work remains unpublished, there is no formal catalog, his scores are forgotten in some library and are difficult to find, etc. It seems absurd and unfair to me that we do this to great artists and not give them the opportunity to resurface and that on the contrary, we continue to flood the world with more "The best of Chopin" etc. P.S. I use Chopin as a reference just to give an example. I love his music.

Hi Danae, Why do you never look in the camera? Und, wann kann man davon sprechen, fuer das Klavier eine besondere Begabung zu haben?

This is interesting - Jorge Bolet said he refused to tell anyone how much he practised.

Haha yes, I can imagine that there are many pianists that were secretive about it or told a different story from the truth. ;)

@ Ja, bestimmt! Der Bolet hat aber auch gesagt, daß er fast die ganze Zeit geistlich übte.
