Schubert Impromptu in E flat Major - played by PianoBloke

[fourthnation]

yeah it was 1827... just check the wrong notes in your left hand :)

[gaba005]

Fantastic!! ;)

[string123456]

not bad but you look like a cock

[jvu2ilj26]

He doesn't look like a cock. What are you talking about?

[Elcair]

Schubert Impromptu in E flat Major!!! great!!

[cilva7]

are you serious, just do a google search for it!

[jacobras]

Woo, calm down! I've already found it, I know how to use Google... Couldn't find it at first, because I used the wrong Op. number ;)

[romarsocos]

i love the end!!! FORT:D

[romarsocos]

i love it

[davidofpiano423]

Very impressive to get such a good sound out of an electric keyboard... nice, consistent tempo. A little loud at times but I think that's a sacrifice that must be made to get a good sound out of most electric instruments. I hope you post the rest of the piece sometime soon.

[LoonyLucyMilly]

It Was Great!!!!

Keep playing it will be amazing once you've finished it

[gymgymgymgym]

very smooth :)

[saleha250]

That was amazing.. especially the end :-)

Good work

[stradivarius90]

excelente

[cho01]

absolutely wonderful! Bravo! I know this piece inside out because it's been one of my favorites since i learned it about 6 years ago. There's only ONE thing i could suggest you could improve on. On the octave graces notes in the slower section on page 2 you could make the top note sing out and really ring like you're playing a bell almost. Imagine grabbing in with your pinky while slightly tilting your hand to the thumb. ^_^ you played it SO good though. A ++++

[blogAL526]

generally to say not bad

but there are little mistakes to practice

and a very important thing

volumn and speed need more dolce and average

the performance after 1 min is a little bit too fast

it's just only my some experience

you can make it better :D

[NothaName]

WoW! Why is everyone so critical? I appreciate it for what it is. Good job man! This vid inspired me to attempt this piece for myself.

[mtrniwashi06]

You play so well, but I do not like the sound of electric piano. Sorry for saying this.

[AulicExclusiva]

You're hot (I love your back and slim arms) but you play this too fast. It must ripple, not run...

[morgione]

Ooooohhhhhhh... nonono..... wrong!!!!

[chand3123k]

well, since ive never heard this piece before. it sounds really really good. but yea it can be softer. it sounds hammered sometimes.

[ticarus]

good playing btu electric pianos cant do justice to this piece

[Excrey]

wrong notes

[evanelys]

oh god.... terrible o.0 left hand is bugging me since the very beginning

[meninaco]

Es la peor respuesta a ZIMEMERMAN que he visto

[brooonage]

You're not holding the dotted minims in the left hand. And you're consistantly playing wrong notes in the left hand!

[FreddieMercury0093]

There are some wrong notes! You're quite good but take the partitures!

[chawoosemothergoose]

you are playing a wrong note repeatledly in the left hand you are playing on the bottom E F E D i think and it is supposed to go E F G E if i remember correctly i might be wrong because i am just going by memory but check your score

[Jallas3000]

Looks like as if you had speeded the video up like you did in your moonshine sonata video..

[edwardelric666]

I enjoyed your playing, but I just have to say:

It'd sound much better on a real piano, and I think that you should have played softer in the beginning and some parts.. But I think it was just the piano.

Bravo!!

[angeloop85]

Obviously it sounds better on a real piano, but not all of us have enought money to buy one!!!

[PlatinumKeys]

You should really considering buying a baby grand piano, the electric one just doesn't serve you right. The melody will also be alot easier to bring out. Good luck.

[DFDalton1962]

Ugh! Nice work for the most part. But how could you get so far into learning this piece without noticing that you're playing the left hand part so obviously wrong? I hate when that happens - sometimes it takes more time to unlearn a mistake than it took to learn the entire piece in the first place.

[Nadegeous]

I am working on this piece too, though I'm going much slower for now. I've started my piano lessons a month ago (after a good 15years break) and though I can play it all now I can't get the speed and I don't have the phrasing yet. But your left hand sounds different though. You should try the middle part, it's much easier than the rest!

[rnehdals99]

Excellent!

Where do you get the music piece from?

[simon1991194]

It's not possible that this impromptu was written in 1897, because schubert died in 1828

[truelove416]

lol.

[Chanchan92]

great job in making the top notes (melodic line) evident throughout the piece, but u should slow down a bit for best results

[BRRF]

you need to contrast the major from the tonic minor part. Take a tad of time before the G flat and set up a pp environment. Put more weight on the bass octaves to create an even warmer sound.

[alexrach99]

well seems that Zemmerman plays that with ease, while you don't look so... also Zimmerman's piano gets a better sound then yours (and not only piano, but fingers also) unfortunately :)

But still pleasure to watch you playing. I liked that.

[guitarike]

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're not playing the left hand properly. you're playing Eb-Bb,F-Bb,Eb-Bb,D-Bb, when it's really Eb-Bb,F-Bb,G!-Bb,D-Bb. then the next chord is also in the wrong inversion. id suggest double checking the score.

on a positive note, you play the right hand evenly and with good tempo.

[dukeinlondon]

Well done, takes some nerve to post that as a video response to Zimmerman's performance though, but there you go. I am working the middle part now myself. Don't think it'll ever be good enough to post. Keep it up.

[swimchick94]

I love this piece, I'm learning it right now...

[heinrich1vk]

Good job man! I hope someday I could play like you...

[jelliexd]

Great job. I have to say though, my favorite part to play is the middle. You should try and learn it! :)

[anthro420]

god this is one of my favorite classical pieces. schubert doesn't get the credit he deserves!

[giovmari]

consider you fortunate to play so well! I startd playing piano only 4 months ago, at 43, so much time wasted .... ciao from Italy

[missmusic87]

i love this piece. i am studying it right now as well. but im sad.. you left out the best part!

[LoAugustsson]

this i really, really good!! I play this piece aswell, and I have camed just as long as you so far. damn you are good with the fingers, you play safe and with perfection! How long have you been practising piano and how long on this piece? please give me some tips :-D veeery good job man!!

[PianoBloke]

Hi thanks for your comment, I've been playing this almost a yr.. I'm too lazy to learn the middle part, because the first part is my favourite.. As far as tips go, I suggest practicing your Eb major and Bb major scales with your right hand and if you get that down pat you've practically done all the work. Start off slow, say 60 tempo.. then slowly ramp it up to speed as you get more confident ;)

[vivace119]

Some people say this piece is easy. However I really don't think that it is. You have to have good technique to play it and sometimes requires demanding fingering.

Well done, you played most of it well. How are you getting on with the other section/s?

[PianoBloke]

Thanks, I'm working on Schubert's Impromptu in Gb major at the moment because I think it's a beautiful sounding piece that's similar to the 1st movement of the Moonlight Sonata in my opinion because there's this sub-melody in the right hand of Gb major Impromptu as well as an additional melody on top of that, which is like Moonlight.

Anyway I seem to be learning it fairly quickly so I expect to upload it soon.

[chocotiger]

great job, love the crescendo at the end.

[seahyimin]

haha i like this. i played this, the g flat major and a flat minor impromptus

[kapayazi808]

-i also have that chopin book =D

[shelim23]

good job on the 1st movement! 5 stars!

[kapayazi808]

good job! Although the right hand could be played to sound more ethereal, you could speed it up just a -little- more. Good job on dynamics tho :D 5/5

[DukeRightious]

Absolutely wonderful. Congratulations, you are tremendously talented! Happy 2007!

Duke

[grodob]

Well done
