Chopin Nocturne Op.9 No.1 Piano Tutorial

[pipesitico]

a question there is no other way of playing the key issue for captives of so complicated that it is not

[bbdhrggl]

@pipesitico sorry, I do not understand your question

[klumpster11]

I'm still really confused on how to do the part with 11 against six (how DOES that work). Is it just 4 against 2 (like straight time) for 2 groups and then 3 against two for the last 3 notes in the right hand? Or how/!!

[bbdhrggl]

@klumpster11 it's not rigid and subject to the artist's interpretation. if you want it mathematically correct (the way I tried to do it), see my tutorial "how to play 3 against 2 or 4 notes". the method applies to any x against y notes, so we can draw some lines between the RH and LH notes to guide us

[klumpster11]

@bbdhrggl Well, I understand 3 against 2 and 3 against 4...but 11 against six, just eludes me. :(

[klumpster11]

@klumpster11 Since if you do 3 against 2 on the 11 against six, what do you do with the others. I dont understand which groups to "match up" with each other...if that makes sense.

[bbdhrggl]

@klumpster11 draw a line with 66 spaces (best to use graphing paper). Mark in red every 6 spaces then in green every 11 spaces. That'll tell you how they fit together.

[klumpster11]

@bbdhrggl Not quite understanding but will see if I can figure that out.

green in one hand and red in the other?

[klumpster11]

@klumpster11 It is just not apparent - sorry

[tejaachebrole]

thank you for posting this tutorial...piano teacher

[bbdhrggl]

@ValorousFogey pause the panels of words in the beginning for info?

[bbdhrggl]

@ValorousFogey this is the editor's fingering. every editor has their own fingering. so use what you feel is comfortable.

[aceofspadesfoeca]

sweet, still waiting for my request :)

[bbdhrggl]

@aceofspadesfoeca on trills and such? I am unqualified to make a tutorial on this subject. there are varying approaches and opinions. for example, ornamental notes for bach and chopin are treated differently. whenever I am unsure, I listen to concert artists to see what they do.

[aceofspadesfoeca]

@bbdhrggl no, but for the nocturne 55 -2 :) the trills are already fine.

[bbdhrggl]

@aceofspadesfoeca at least it made my list :)

[aceofspadesfoeca]

@bbdhrggl just wondering how much request before mine? 100? or 1000? :) i'll wait
