  • i love u cuz of this im getting a carrer in piano

  • It really helps but ought not people do plenty sight reading?

  • Honestly i think the polyrythms can be conquered by breaking a simple rule. The polyrythms in jeux d'eau by maurice ravel are much more difficult but can be solved easily just by memorizing what parts of your left hand harmonize with parts of your right hand. It solves many problems just lining the notes up and playing the harmonies instead of playing the correct rythms for both parts.

  • watching this makes me see any mistakes i made withmy sight reading. thankyou, and my score has no finguring on it.

  • W tempie sie posrasz z takim palcowaniem

  • thank you - very helpful. difficult to vet notes for someone who is a poor music reader

  • Thx for this!

  • Good friend you're. : )

  • Honestly i dont get what all the disapproval of this video is about. I mean some people actually have the music and read it (like me) but dont currently have a teacher to help with breaking it down or using more efficient finger patterns. And if you think a tutorial for this song is so bad or stupid then why are you even looking at this video? I mean really. Not everyone can afford the lessons and time it takes to learn this song "the right way". I respect this person for trying to help people

  • The fact that your friend is attempting to learn this piece, yet doesn't read music is an insult to pianists everywhere.

  • @sucemabiteconnasse as a pianist, it doesn't insult me at all. I think people should learn things whatever way works best for them.

  • @Prismaglobe If having a tutorial to go slowly through the notes is helpful, then great! But if you're playing at this level and you can't read music, that's a problem. At a certain point you need to take the initiative to learn music theory on your own or hire a professional to teach you. If you want to play at this level, you can't have somebody holding your hand and telling you exactly what to do note by note. It's absurd!

  • how could you think of learn this on youtube?it's one of the most difficult chopin's song

  • hey, im doing this with music but can i ask you, is it best to get quick at both hands seperatly and sync them, or best to play both slowly together, with carefull timming with the music. i mean, i know how its sounds together so i sortev just syncronized them with ear.

  • I don't think this is a song that should be learnt from youtube tutorials...

  • can enyone give me the notation after the first bar..starting with A natural & C sharpe.

    Much appreciated if anyone can help.

  • I wish you could see the notation as well. i cant follow it very well

  • hey, I can't read music, and this helped. i learned mostly by ear. but i can play this song all the way through now, i just have to work on the 160bpm now O.o

    but thank you So much for this :)

  • THE POLYRYTHMS ARE KICKING MY ASSSSS

  • CAN YOU PLEASE

    DO IT HANDS TOGETHER

  • @Amarelaoo1 xD

  • Uhh, what a bad fingering in the first two bars.... Try with: 232123532321235 It's easyer and better... Sorry, but my english is horrible

  • Thank you, very helpful and good fingering

  • hello, same for me, I played piano when I was a child, but for now I have forgotten to read music. Anyway I want to learn to play this great song. Thanks for your tutorial!!!

  • I guarantee that if you use his finger work you won't be able to play this well.

  • @qazqazdabest

    Your wrong, this's the similar fingering signilized by Chopin himself. It's the most flexibel in normal tempo. Get your facts right.

  • @ImmortalSpecies He doesn't even play the first two bars the same way.

  • @qazqazdabest

    Chopin signilized 4 where Hoirusu used 3. In this case it's insignificant - I go with 3 cuz I've got larger fingers. You can't even play this piece, and even if you can - your fingering is completely off if you didn't follow these. Same principe - preferance.

  • @ImmortalSpecies Hoirusu played it with 4 and then 3, they weren't even consistent. It's off. And no, I can play this piece, and I've been through all the different fingering, and this method will definitely not work. Look at the way he plays the part right before the chromatic scales. 2nd finger G?!

  • @qazqazdabest Look, your statement was; I guarantee that if you use his finger work you won't be able to play this well. - Yet you're only pinpointing out insignificant things that doesn't change the result or in any way distract the playing. Hoirusu played 4 and then 3 but it doesn't really matter - either way works.

    Look, If your fingering is better than CHOPINS himself then you may go ahead and type 'em up cuz I'm doubtful. Chromatics are chromatics, loads of ways of going chromatically.

  • @ImmortalSpecies So are you saying that if you follow the finger work Hoirusu uses just by watching this video not being able to read music, you'd be able to play this?

  • @qazqazdabest

    Yes you'll manage with the finger work. Though I don't get how people manage without reading the music. Tbh it's kinda spoiled - Chopin signalizes alot of insightful things, I'd never truly understand a piece by simple mimic. The sheet music gives you a deeper intepretation that contributes to the true "shape" of the piece. Yes you'll be able to play it smoothly with the current fingering. it's based on the actual thing and I think Hoirusu knows it himself.

  • and what about the dynamics?

  • I GIVE UP!!! I CANT DO IT! THE FINGERING IS TOO DIFFICULT!!! i have 10 year old hands. and im 15! i hate it! i cant stretch my fingers far enough at full pace!

  • Thank you SOOOOO much.

    I was so frustrated before watching this because I thought I would never learn to play a piece this complicated.

    Then I realized after watching this...If I start slow and worked my way up it wouldn't be that hard.

    And I was right!!

  • If you don't want it dont watch it ,did the maker of this ask you to watch. Sometimes you need to be considerate of the feelings of others, that is the first lesson that your teachers taught you in school. If you do not know how to respect, people might think you don't have manners and did not go to school which we do not like, I presume.

  • Thankyou, very helpful!

  • if you can't even play it correctly you shouldn't be giving a tutorial on it

    Also your chromatic fingering is horrendous

  • @scharlesbliss1001 this tutorial is very usefull, if you don't need, you can go away

  • if you can't even play it correctly you shouldn't be giving a tutorial on it

  • This is completely useless!!! Why do something like this? You cant play this kind of pieces without reading music.

  • @hebertotzet1 not so much , its very useful i cant read a music sheet btw theres a separate tutorial for the left hand

  • @Protacio78 Im sorry to tell you, but if you dont read music, you wont be able to play this. You might make sound very poorly a few messures after months of trying, buy you wont learn the whole pice and clearly played by watching this kind of videos. If you like this stuff, you definitley shoud learn to read music.

  • @hebertotzet1 My cousin and I can't read music but he can play this piece floorlessly after months of trying

  • @H1widA1 Well, you must be very talent !! I'd like to see a video of it !!

  • @hebertotzet1 I cannot read music but I can play this song now thanks to hoirusu's tutorials.

  • @viper909909 Are you sure you can play it? Complete and with both hands? With an acceptable tempo? I´d really like to see that.

  • im sitting here fustrated that i can not play this,then i figured out how to slow the video. first well of course you have to download it but keep it as a flv and also have VLC handy, VLC will be able to slow down the vid for you and you can easily follow along. I am following the sheet music and watching the vid for maximum results but i have only been playing for about a year and a half and thats speratically because of a chain of dramatic events but now i can sit down and practice

  • @goldaceofspades If you switch to the HTML5 version of YouTube, you'll find you can slow the video right in the player.

  • i'm not sure what the purpose is here...though the 'pauses' show some reticence on the part of the player.he clearly needs a turorial himself.(sorry,but any post claiming to teach should, morally at least,be able to demonstrate some competency).

  • thanks a million££££££££

  • A good, very clear tutorial. Of course the point is first to play it very slowly and gradually faster. This is exactly what you are doing, excellent!

  • if you cant read music, you shouldnt try to learn this

  • @pianoaddict06 I disagree. It depends on one's skills. If you have enough training and a good ear - and especially enough motivation and time to put into practicing - it can most certainly be done.

  • かっこいい

  • fuck it

    ur doing great

    was that a tutorial ??

    fucking bitch noob

    thats not tutorial ur finger is so fast

    fuck shit

  • @badkillah456 dude...you cant expect to learn the notes from here while listening to it the first time....this is to help you with the fingering or if you know this piece very well...go listen to this well before blasting the guy..

  • @badkillah456 look you toxic waste of sperm the kid is doing good you are to stupid to catch u[p then you shuldnt even comment on his video!! why dont you crawl back throgh your mommas ass piece of shit we dont need more assholes in this world !!! go kill your self and your entire decendance!! bitch!!

  • This is great!

    Can you do the same for Beethoven Op 109 second movement?

  • Sorry, but it's very wrong... the notes are good, but you miss much things...

  • thanks man i can play the fist step of the right and left hand. I've sat down and practice the left hand for 2 hours then did the same for the right hand i can kinda play both but i'ma keep on doing it think you so much [=.

  • thanks. haha I've been playing piano for a while and, frankly, the thing I least like doing is figuring out fingerings. I'm a very specific kinda lazy. |: Reading sheet music, memorizing it, practicing... that's okay. But I hate figuring out fingerings. xD so thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • #lol Crickets

  • go slower would be nice

    maybe use editing progam to slow mo it XD

  • please dont take this as a harsh tone, but why do your friends not just learn the reading of music? i know it's so much simpler to just visually watch, but i would think it would be a good skill to grow.

  • @jdaesaorn2012 It's very difficult to read music when you are used to playing by ear. I studied for ~6 years as a kid, even had a teacher from Julliard who played the tunes for me each week while I watched; I would play them back 95% from memory. I scoffed @ my music theory homework, & pfft, forget about practicing scales; everything was by ear, & I'm impatient. Could barely read the notes, yet still won awards. I'm learning this song completely off YouTube from kind people like this person. :)

  • @billspintobean im just confused as to how you can learn the left-right hand relationship when one is 16ths the other is what, triplets? idk. all i know is is that the two dont align :S

  • @jdaesaorn2012 For me, it really just fell into place, more or less. Of course, I still practice it daily for at least an hour to improve it, and am up to around 85% the speed it should be played. I used a couple of tools - Search YouTube for "How To Play (piano): Chopin - Fantasie impromptu, 50% speed" (I get an error when trying to post the link here). The videos by MapleCubee taught me the fingering, which is so important in order to make that "connection" with both hands go smoothly.

  • it sounds different

  • ...reminds me of the godfather theme

  • mh I'm playing the Pathetique 1 mvt by beethoven (nearly finished), is this impromptu harder to play?

  • Im the worst sight reader!! Im on grade 6 and I can only sight read music from grade 2 T_T but when it comes to composing pieces which i do very often Im fine its just sight reading!!!! >:(

  • I like how it doesn't sound FI at all lol. But when you put it together.. magic.

  • Thanks! been wanting to learn this for ages! i`ll see how i get on! :)

  • Thank you so much to make this tutorial!!

    Can you do a tutorial for Schubert Impromptu op 90 no 2

  • i think this tutorial was made in night

    i heard a crikets

  • keep making these are great tutorials

    could you do Chopin etude op.10 no. 5

  • he he very funny. how can u do such a thing. i think there is some wrong notes. however this is a good way to show how to play this piece hands separately

  • no it sounds wrong on one note-b lat but he plays it correctly but he should relax his hand more and incorporate rotary motion

  • i think theres some key u played wrongly... no offence, or maybe i read wrongly

  • no cos if you read the score it changes to a b flat

  • i can try and learn it jesus what sort of godly mind created this ahhhhhh its so hard lol

  • you see theres this dude from poland who one day decided to compose a piece for his friend

    and the piece was named fantasie impromptu

  • haha very funny not

  • @xYEAHxKYLEx

    The mind of Chopin ^_^

  • Tell your friend to learn to read music. Once he/she learns the basics, her reading abilities will take off from there. And they will stay for life, if he/she practices.

  • @ulsbolde89

    Yeah but for people like me with dyslexic n that, its a lot harder to learn theoretical things like this.

    I know how to read music - what the symbols mean and the notes are on bass and treble clefs, but its nigh impossible for me to be able to read something straight from a sheet - takes me forever.

  • i wish you could go a bit slower but im determined to play this so i can pause anyway thanx:)

  • @HazaaStrokinIt This is retardedly slow...what are you talking about?

  • Nice

    Thanks for take your time to do this video. =)

  • god...thanks so much...im having a very hard time figuring out the sheet music....

  • lol this will be my one piano piece for the year...

  • You really shouldnt doubt people who cannot read music, because people who can play these kinds of songs are bound to learn sheet music SOMEDAY, and besides, not all of us are million dollar piano players. You never know, someone your age who doesnt know how to read sheet music may very well be better than you in a few years. This message is directed to all commenters surprised that someone who cant read music can play this. Trust me, its not impossible.

  • Also, people who read sheet music don't bother memorizing, and so they can't show off their skills on piano without their sheet music, while people who can't read HAVE to memorize to be able to play them. All they need to see is the title of the song.

  • yeah..due to hoirusu's help..i memorized Nocturne no.20 in c sharp,Nocturne op.55 no.1 and moonlight sonata.

    I've been trying to play this one but i guess it's kinda out of my league.. : )

  • Take it easy. Only you need is time. Good luck!

  • @hoirusu I have the passion and time, but how long do you suspect it takes to do this? how long did it take your friends? Id pay 1000 bucks to play this.. lol

  • @AmroEgyptian If you can do "Moonlight Sonata", you can do "Für Elise". :)

  • @billspintobean I can play Fur elise :)

  • Blindzorz what are you saying? People who read sheet music, like me, do memorize the piece and we can easily play anything we learned without sheet music. Memorizing a piece is a very important part of learning it. You're not done learning a piece until you've learned it by heart. Even then, you can always improve on your playing. A pianist who can't memorize music isn't much of a pianist at all.

  • I have some friends that can read sheet music fairly well, but they are too stupid not to memorize it. While some people may memorize the sheet music, others can only sight read, and the majority of people who read sheet music, don't bother memorizing it and end up being "less cool" then the people who do memorize. If someone can both read and memorize sheet music, like you for example then it's great.

  • I see, sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • The only problem I have with this series of videos is the fact that learning this piece strictly by seeing the keys pushed and the fingers used does relay the vast amount of dynamics Chopin used. All the crescendos and decrescendos and all of the like are lost; really it would feel as if only half the song was being played.

  • @ASirensSoliloquy There's a way to solve the problem of 'lost dynamics' in these types of videos. I learn the song from tutorials like this one, then I watch videos of different professionals playing the song to pick up the proper dynamics. From there, I often end up with my own interpretation of the piece.

  • thank you very much for this great video!!!!!!!! i love it so in this video i learn this piece and i know now what finger i must use^^

  • i think its better learn to read music ... or the people who cant need for every single piece a tutorial

  • Indeed, I do as well. ^_^

  • Your friend can't read music and is trying to play this?!?! O.O

  • Yes, he and some my YouTube friends can play this now.

    I respect them and their passion.

  • @hoirusu They're passionate enough to go through something as difficult as trying to learn this, but not passionate enough to learn something as simple as how to read music?

  • @hoirusu for me its even easier to play it without music sheets :) ! thank you so much for the tut.

  • @hoirusu i cant read music notes as well..but im trying to learn this song too :)

  • Would there be by any chance roadworkers out side? I kinda hear something.

  • Up to 0:33 i know the right hand and the left hand, but when i put both hands together it's all messy and i get lost...weird

  • You have to focus on the notes which are played in the same time by both hands...

  • Its hard, because the right hand is straight sixteenths, and the left is threes, so you have to kinda fit them together.

    An easy way is if you think of it...mathematically?

  • @BrendanKennedy96  yes so I

  • thanks again for Fantasie Impromptu tutorial.

    JPmanga800- I agree with you. "revolutionary" etude or Chopin prelude op. 24 no 12

    hoirusu: thank you!!!

  • i was thinking about making one for the "revolutionary" etude.

  • Wow !!! Wonderful please make whole song tutorial

  • Could you make ballade g-minor tutorial?

  • Ballades are too long and difficult to make tutorial, I regret.

  • @arowanaa I mean, really... if somebody went through all the effort to learn that Ballade (I'm slowly chipping away at it, myself), it'd be a waste of their time to go at it without knowing how to read sheet music. Seriously, I can't sight read at all, and it I'm pretty slow when it comes to deciphering large groups of notes, but you could literally learn to read music in a tenth of the time it would take to learn the entire Ballade. Far more tedious to need a visual tutorial as a reference.

  • Comment removed

  • thank's a lot for showing i think I can say in "slow motion" ^^ it is really cool and nice from you. And yes i think as said in the comment below, that it's possible to play it with repetition and work of course. good continuation to you

    piano no ongaku wo misete doumo arigatou. ano ongaku ga dai suki desu kara. hontoni shinsetsu desyo! boku ni tetsudaemasu. ;)

    Matane !

  • for all those people who think this song is hard, you all need to take piano a lot more serioulsy, dont evny the kid who can play it at 10, because i could too, can i have no doubt this guy whos showing you how could too

  • JuyoNi. Very true. I'm 14 and I can play the original versions of The Maple Leaf Rag, and The Entertainer, just takes practice is all. Anybody could do this.

  • The kid who plays it at 10 has no expression and doesn't even play it right, and I bet he is being pushed to the max at home, piano would take up a large chunk of his day. This piece is hard because it takes alot of practise to get in the expression and perfect it, just as Valentina Igoshina has.

  • Imagine what the 10 year old will be capable of when he's 20...

  • Well.. as soon as he realises that he can make decisions he probably will get sick of playing; being pushed hard as he is. He'll try something else, something that he likes to do and never got the chance because of his obsession with piano..

  • Hope he doesn't quit, though that is his own choice

  • Thats a very interesting question,

    But my experience tells me the most people find they are "good" at a certain level and stopes develop.

    All life is a long development, that ends when you are gone, not before.

  • finally someone who feels the same way i do about those10 5 6 year olds playing piano , i meen its not like they play just by ear or something like that they probably have professional piano teachers teaching them how to play like most piano players should have or had.

  • well. its their choice to learn the one piece. but most professional piano teachers would want their students to learn the like... things you need to learn. dunno how to explain.

  • tell it like it is!

    good job

  • うpありがとうございます。

    分かりやすくて、助かります!!

  • this is a really hard piece to play! why is it this fast anyway? i really envy that 10 year old kid who can play this..

  • as some hope, my friend...this is not a hard piece......i learnt this song in 2 weeks watching this video....now i can play it in full speed.....what u do need to concentrate hard on, is the fingering...the fingering in the video is the best,,i suggest u do that...u can do it..its not a hard one..compared to etude 10...this is just nothing.

    dude, just be dedicated to learning the song for 2 weeks..n u will see what i am talkin about.practise about 2 hours a day, n u will play this song easily.

  • how long have u played piano? so that it took only 2 weeks?

  • i have been playing for about 1 and a half years now....the thing that really pushed me to learn this song was the experience of learning another song. I loved a song called Turkish March, and as soon as i started on the piano, i wanted to learn it so badly.Even though i tried first, i couldn't do it.i finally thought i could never do it in my lifetime... But i never gave up and kept practicing.And I got the song in just 3 weeks - that is my first 3 weeks of playing the piano. JUST PRACTICE

  • you really need some determination to finish this piece within a month or two...I just started this piece on February 2009, and all I need to do is to finish the ending... I finished about 85 percent of the song in 6 weeks...

  • Comment removed

  • thanks.. all I need to do is to figure out the timing of each hand so I can play both hands together..

  • just make the last two notes of each bar together don't play too slow and practice hands separate rhythmically

  • Thanks dude...now I can play both hands and all I need to do is finish the last part(after the repetition of the first theme...and before that moderato cantabile part at the end...)

  • great job!!!

  • Comment removed

  • can you do a video that shows the timing and how to best coordinate between the hands?How do I make the 4 to 3 multi-rhythms work? Are there any suggestions on practice I can do to make it work? I know I'm not supposed to match them mathematically, but I haven't figured out any other way to make them work. Also want to know if the 1st beat on the right hand starts at the same time the 1st beat of the left hand begins?

  • lol i tried reading the music but i gave up because i couldnt really be bothered at the time.. thanks for the vid it helps

  • I think fingering in scores is no more than an exemple. You can change it as you like. All peoples have different size of fingers. My fingering is only for me.

  • lol fingering

  • My teacher always tells me off for doing fingering wrong on everything

  • I always wanted to see someone doing it slowly from the top! I can read scores, but I feel myself very confident after seeing someone doing it. All other videos are simply too fast to help us to see the correct fingering and each note. Thanks a lot!!!

  • Thanks

  • yay~ perfect for me cuz im too lazy to read music sheets -.- it's actually a lot easier than they make it seem.

    ありがとうね~

  • wow

  • ありがとう ありがとう ありがとう ありがとう~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • 不用谢。

  • ありがとう ^ ^

  • hmm, this video isnt available...how come~

  • this isnt loading yet, but i can wait. yay, easier for me to watch too. thanks!!
