Nice approach. Slow practice is way underrated, if not despised. Playing a piece comfortably at half tempo and the speed will find it's way. It's nice to encourage that.

Elijah Kim 김기성 As funny as that is, especially with the piss poor performance of “ “Flight of the Bumblebee” “ that Ben Lee gave right after asserting that, there is truth to what he said He said “If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.” Keyword: can. Meaning if you can play it at all, then you can play it a bit faster. If you can play it a bit faster, then you can play it a bit faster than even that. And so on and so on, eventually you can play it much faster than you originally could, which is exactly what he said in that interview Just make sure you can actually play it _well_ before pushing past your limits too quickly, or you end up with a sacrilegious performance like his. My guess is he’s not a very patient guy. Of course, the faster you get also the harder it is to keep getting faster. In that sense there’s diminishing returns on the investment of time and energy put into it, as well as an ultimate biological limitation that can never be surpassed with any amount of practice or training as well as physical limitations of what the instrument is capable of

Thank you! With your videos I get to know that practicing at slow paces is a good way to learn pieces! And what a beautiful piece! Still seems effective at half speed.

Makes the fingering easier and learning it much better! Thank you so much!

Thanks a ton for uploading these videos. They are extremely helpful at deciphering certain parts of the piece.

I was having a lot of trouble with the 4th page of this song. I was struggling so much with putting together the left and right hands but now I can do it with ease after 10 minutes just by listening to it slowed down. Exactly what I needed and was looking for! Thank you so much! 😄

I never realized how helpful it is to hear a piece played slow until I tried to start learning a couple of etudes a few years ago. This Super Slow Series is an excellent idea, Cory! Unfortunately I actually do play two etudes but kind of rushed into full speed and now find certain parts I have forgotten which notes I'm playing and can only perform near full speed. It is quite pathetic, really. But at least I have fun playing them, I now I have resources like this to go back and rebuild.

It is not super slow, only that we are get used to listen to famous pianists playing it too fast. If you look at speed that Chopin wrote it is almost the right speed. But today all mainstream pianists just play it as fast as possible and it sounds bad. There is no accents in left hand and it seems blurry. I prefer it slower. Thanks for video.

Thank you for this. I have just started learning this piece and have found your video very helpful. My piano teacher used to play a piece at 'normal' speed for me to see if I liked it first, she said if you don't like the music it will be ten times harder to learn because you won't feel motivated. If I liked the piece, she would then take sections and play them at around half speed to 'fix things in my head'. I am going to use this video to work on this piece in the same way. Lovely piano you have by the way, but I am also a trained piano tuner now and felt an itching to fine tune your ringing unisons; just my feeling, not a criticism at all. Thanks again.

Cory, gracias por estos maravillosos ejemplos!!

Its honestly amazing that complex songs like this are actually as simple as a intermediate or semi-intermediate songs, songs like this, moonlight, and many others are just hard when it comes to speed for most people!

Hearing in this tempi gives more meaning to the piece. Every note is heard distintly and gives its more impression than the super fast played. Wim winters was right, it must be actually played in this tempi only. long live whole beat!!!!!

@@BachScholar Do not mistake me as a crook. I would like to be crystal clear about this matter. What I believe (NOT NOT NOT BLAMING) is that after rock and all other types of genera have emerged, it might have changed how we see towards music. Fast has become a way for expression is MAY be what we have implicit in our mind. I remember one of Liszt quote "no matter how fast or slow you play, I want to hear the canter of horses" I think this shows he was for whole beat. This also MIGHT be possible. And coming to Mr. Winters in this he suggestively proves kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYSr0aioire6eLg.html in this video. Although hammerklavier but that will follow for all. if yet you suggest for half beat, then please do share some thing concrete to stand against Mr. Winters. Very curious about that.

@Monogrammaton

4 жыл бұрын

Well, here's one data point. I'm a piano novice. I've never looked anything up about how to play piano, never had a lesson -- only some self-taught stuff remembered from my childhood. I decided to try the hardest looking song that I knew of, Chopin's Revolutionary, because it seemed so cool -- but as an experiment I eschewed all of the book learning. I only learned it by viewing the Rousseau KZread channel's performance of it, watching where the hands went in slow motion, and playing along. As long as the fingerings were all the same. My idea was that if you can feel your own muscles playing piano, through that experience alone you can learn some things about piano. It worked. I can play the first half of the song at almost full tempo with no mistakes. Slowing down was of course necessary to progress to that point from scratch, but a couple other drills helped as well, like playing one handed only, or varying which beats are emphasized or which beats are played quickly. It took a couple months of intermittent short practice sessions but at no point did I stop to read up.

I've just learnt this piece and can play it comfortably at that speed. How do I speed it up though? When I try I tend to get a tired left wrist very quickly... Thanks!

@mariannachristopoulou6580

4 жыл бұрын

You just have to speed it up progressively. Every time you play it at a high speed then you have to play it at half the speed, because if you don't do you will start to miss some notes at the high speed. Also a good idea is to play the piece with the rhythmic ways(you can find them in the Hanon).Good Luck!

Another video specifically discusses how to play that part without getting tired. The key is a series of rolling swinging motions; eventually you learn to let your swinging arms do all the work there. The video is a tutorial by Graham Fitch on the channel "Pianist Magazine".
