I have played for 11 years and I am currently playing Rachmaninoff's prelude in G minor and Debussy Estampes no. 3

Hey Matthew! I only just had my first ever lesson yesterday (I didn’t prepare for it so I was a complete beginner). I’ve recorded something I was playing on my first day. And will continue to do so every month. Hope in a year’s time you can see my progress 😊.

Very true!

Love the technical tips, explanations, and metaphors you use. They convey a deep understanding of the pieces, which can immediately be heard as soon as you put into practice what you say. Would love to find a teacher with your level of experience and expertise!

The level of passion you have for music is clearly visible on your face in the first 1 and half minutes of the video. You are such a great teacher and the efforts you put in for each of your videos to provide a quality content for your viewers is just amazing. Please never stop making these videos. I've been learning a lot of stuffs from you and you are one of many pianists I watch on KZread that makes me wanna get up in the morning and practice piano. Thanks a ton Matt. Love from India ❤

ive been playing for 8 years and am playing Rhapsody in Blue and Beethoven C minor variations. The hardest thing ive played is the hungarian rhapsody no. 6 for a competition. My dream piece to play is scriabins 7th sonata

Dear Matthew, thanks a lot your react about my performance of Clair de lune. About the poco mosso section, my impressions are come from the image when the moon light shines on the water at nighttime and I tried to display that imagination. Btw It's art and subjective, one plays a bit slower another plays a bit faster. All kind could be full of emotions and impressions, depend of the artist. Thanks again, and continue, what you do. I like the way how you explain The Music for intersted people. 🤗🤗

@matticawood

3 ай бұрын

It definitely is subjective, that’s the best thing about it. It’s always interesting to hear how different people interpret pieces. One of my teachers used to say to me…”it doesn’t matter if I would play it differently if it’s justified”. 😊 You played it really nicely and it’s a interesting way to think about the section!

Hey, Arabesque is a great piece!

More rubato: The video

Claire De Lune should be played melodically. I feel like people play it like a race you need to finish first and they don't take the time to appreciate the beauty of it. Claire De Lune means "moonlight". The beauty of the piece written by Debussy is meant to be expressed melodically with a cantas feel. To play it fast deflates the piece and makes "moonlight" turn into "daylight".

Uhmm... can you react to Theme 158 Gregorius symphony from blue archive?
