    So wrist circles is to give texture to a piece? How does that work with pianissimo, stacatto, etc?

    Brilliant! Eloquent, persuasive pianist educator! Have applied a few practice methods with immediate measurable improvement! One has to acquire the music similar to foreign language acquistion. Maestro Fitch shares many enlightening and practical methods. He obviously loves both music and piano especially! Thank you so much! ❤💐🙏🕊️

    This was one of only 2 pieces of music I remember my dad playing when I was a little girl. (The other piece being Moonlight Sonata). They make we cry when I hear them. We had this piece at Dad's funeral.

    Wonderful Pianist and Teacher ! Life-changing practice techniques for me! Thank you sincerely! I rather like the shirt and it seems to illustrate the last work you played; I'm sorry I don't know what music that is. I'm little by little catching up with all your video classes! A bit of a dreamer here when practicing. Your techniques applied help reign it in! Now, to build mental as well as physical stamina. I wish someone had taught these skills 50 years ago. Nothing to do for it except keep practicing. ❤

    This has been an immeasurable help. I have watched this countless times. It is a privilege to be able to learn from Monsieur Bavouzet. Who has such deep insight into the piece. The images he has described have accompanied me throughout learning the piece. Is there any chance he might do another tutorial on debussy? The reverie or first arabesque maybe? Thank you so much for this!

    This guy misleads you. All wrong. Unprofessional in my opinion. These aren't slurs but simple legatos. Does not mean that the 2nd note is softer and certainly not shorter. Just means that the 2nd note is tied to the 1st. They are bound together, so there is no extra articulation on the 2nd. The relative strength of the two notes is up to you to decide. But on the whole, unless otherwise given. they are equal in strength. The 2nd note should be played shorter ONLY IF there is a staccato mark on it.

    💥 I wish I could afford purchasing a good piano 🎹 like those. The piano sound is half the success of a recording or a concert. No matter how good is a performer, if the piano is terrible, or poorly recorded, it would be a disaster. There are hundreds of excellent recordings of the same piece you can choose on music platforms. Now we choose for the sound quality, among the outstanding pianists. Those recorded by Deutsche Gramophon and other excellent studios gets on top. People don't like bad recordings. So, besides being a good pianist, it's not sufficient for success. You need to be backup by an excellent instrument. All the greatest pianists in the world are supported by great piano manufacturers. It's like the horse and the horseman. Pianists have a great disadvantage over other instruments. The flautist can carry an excellent flute along, but most pianists depends on what they have to play. 🎉❤

    YES! It definitely sounds like moon, love, and water. I always believes it was about moonlight over the water, viewed by someone in love, but I did not know what Claude Debussy was thinking or feeling. It just paints that picture for me, and makes me fall in love with it, or at least my heart resonates with the love imbued into the magical music. Your direction regarding using the arm to influence the right hand reminds me of my bowing on the violin, especially switching between strings. Sometimes I put a bit more emphasis on the down bow and my arm plays a role in that moevment similarly to how I see you playing. Ah, you are so right about the coda being liek the remembering of the dream. Very good analogy!
