What is the problem with all of you? Never heard of double thirds? He is a great pianist and like all great pianist can do scales in double thirds, double fourths, double sixths, etc!

Excellent finger work.Thirds are very hard because the 4th finger is weaker than the other fingers. You cannot detect that at all. Practice of this kind helps overcome that.. Thanks

@snevetsznarf1978 you are an idiot. if you know basic music theory you will be able to gather it by yourself. they guy is playing thirds up and down in major and minor --- and there are three kinds of minor, in my native language they are called "natural", "melodic" and "harmonic" I am not sure how they are called in English, but this is pretty basic music theory stuff. GEEZ!

You can learn about double thirds by reading Hanon.

Holy crap. But this is just basically a Dohnanyi exercise in double thirds (done very well though..)

[musicisasuperpower]

@LACEANGEL1 Well, thirds are playing scales/other passages a third apart. Typically they are referred to as doing scales a third apart WITHIN the same hand, so therefore double thirds are doing scales a third apart Within each hand in both hands at the same time. At all moments both hands are playing 2 notes each. It would be very simple if we had 6 fingers, but, alas we have 5

[MarkLarz]

Thirds are usually played with 1 finger on each hand. Double thirds are played with 2 fingers on 1 hand.
