It's funny: I was watching this video and trying out some of these 3/4 chord inversion leaps at 8:30, and all of sudden inspiration struck and I wrote a (very) short waltz-esque piano piece revolving around just 2 chords. (Cm and G)
LOL Man I've never laughed while watching any of your videos but man I've laughe d a few times while watching this video LOL. "YUMMY!!!! Although they're not actually eating the piano." LMAO
I actually laughed when you told the light bulb metaphor. It was almost like you were trying to be funny which made it even more funny when you said. "It'd actually look pretty cool too" idk why but it just made me laugh.
One way I've learned to practice leaps and play a song without looking necessarily is I wait till the sun goes down and turn every light off in my room that I play in and attempt to play the entire song using only the dim light from the power light of my keyboard. It will force you to play without looking. Almost a forced Ray Charles scenario. A little extreme but it works tenfold.
sir Lypur is it alright to memorize a piece because my other friends told me not to memorize a piece rather to play while reading it haha but I read when I am memorizing it
Lypur! I have a friend who can play Liszt 2nd Hungain Rasp. and he told me, that his piano teacher says not to memerize by hand. Can you confirm/deny? This is sort of contrary to your vid.
@Crunkmastaflexx depends on exactly what you're memorizing, there's different forms of memorizing a piece such as tactile, as well as memorizing the harmonic structure of the piece.Memorizing by just the feel is very weak in a performance.That's not what this video is saying to do. Leaps are very quick motions that you can only play if you practice them separately unless you're already very good. I still believe you need to memorizing in other ways as well. This video is for leaps only ^_^
I have Liebestraum in my head but I just cant play the climax part that's why I need to finish this video...
Also, I'm working on Chopin's Ballade 1 where I need to shift my hands in fast octaves in succession after the meno mosso part... I dont know how to do it... I'm not a music major or a music student... I only study by myself... I'd be very glad to play ballade 1 like horowitz... sounds ambitious but it's one of many pianists dream...
Don't forget that the fingertips are the most sensitive parts of the body i.e. the most able to memorize moves, positions, and feelings. The arm muscles are NOT capable of memorizing it effectively enough. If you played Mephisto Waltz that way, you would never make the jumps at the end, they are just too fast and too big for this technique.
Something you systematically forget to talk about in your lessons is finger activity. For jumps, it's very important! The fact that, when you demonstrate, you keep your hand totally relaxed, is the reason for the many wrong notes you do. If you explained that the fingers have to be very active and "aware" of what they are doing (they catapult the hand, it's not the arm that should do the whole move), the lesson would be more effective.
I love your intro using Chopin's Polonaise in Ab maj. I'm currently working on this, along with many others. lol
I also noticed on your website the Deux Arabesques, I'm also working on that, but MUST learn RUBATOS! That piece DEFINITELY required rubatos. I'm not good with it at ALL!
Very good material. I will incorporate this into my practice routine immediately. Thank you sir. Oh, by the way, Ray Charles' blindness was due to either glaucoma or an untreated eye infection...they weren't really sure which one. And don't forget about Stevie Wonder: Another amazing blind piano player.
Chocolate tasting... piano... chocolate piano!!
