I have yet to have encountered an online piano teacher as competent as you. You're lessons are extremely valuable. I bet even very advanced pianists could learn many things from you. Amazing!

I don’t learn this piece, but this is awesome 🤩👍

The light of my phone woke me up at an ungodly hour to read that Denis does offer this Mendelssohn piece in a detailed invaluable lesson. I resisted the impulse of getting up right then and there. This morning I purchased the piece and it is well worth it. The way this great teacher tells us to use our bodies has served me well. Even though this particular piece does not fall in the technically difficult repertoire it’s a piece, in my opinion, as an amateur pianist that requires the obvious basic technique and beyond that a decent amount of musicality to bring out the rocking, haunting romantic element of this piece. The way to approach the trill is excellent. Fortunately, so far I haven’t done anything crazy starting to learn this piece but this lesson is super invaluable for anyone learning this piece. Thank you Denis from across the Atlantic.

Much appreciated, Denis!

Thank you so much for your very constructive suggestions and demonstrations.

Thank you Denis, pleasure watching and listening to you .

Thank you, Denis. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos. The attention to detail you put is amazing and I learn so much each time. I am learning this piece at the moment and enrolled in your full 60-minute tutorial. Can't wait to incorporate all of your tips into my practice! :)

Denis, THANK YOU so much for your sincery, generous, simple, clear piano classes here! God Bless You. Roberto Sion, senior professional piano and wind player.

hi, I really appreciated this tutorial. I wanted to mention that I think when you are playing without talking, perhaps you could increase the balance of the piano more in the video mix if possible. if you only have the one mic visible in the video, I understand if that is not possible, but I think it would help inform the character of the piano more and demonstrate what you are conveying better. regardless, excellent video and thank you for the tips!

😊

do you have a deal to get all your courses at once?

I quite agree with the ascending sixt to be played decrescendo, what puzzles me is that it goes against what is indicated in the music sheet. What do you make of that then ?

Denis Hi, I have a question: have you been secretly listening in when I was practicing this piece. I mean, I didn't hear a word I could disagree with. THIS is really a CARBON COPY of how AI INTUITIVELY experience and play this piece. Maybe after all there is ONE disagreement between us: AI LOVE to ACCENTUATE the EMBELLISHMENT at

The hair pins actually refer to rubato/ expressiveness instead of dynamics crescendo and diminuendo?? Really?
