Only pianists can use fingering as a verb without so much as a blink

[elisa.alexander]

Yes!! Dotted rhythm practice has changed me life!!!

[Naim]

THE PIECE NAME IS 'Appasionata' Sonata no.23

[TheGreatPerahia]

This is my favourite Beethoven Sonata. As it builds up to this passage, it's one of the most exciting and challenging of all the piece.

[TarekPenagosPiano]

That is the best advice regarding fast passages

[MarxistischerMillionaer]

Before practicing in rhythms I usually rearrange those kinds of passages into chords. That gives the fingers more security as they exactly know where to "land“.
Does anybody do that, too?

[canterlevi]

Changing up the rhythms while practicing runs helps so much, I couldn’t believe it when I first learned about it. 🎉

[wolfieg]

My teacher introduced me to dotted rhythm practice to get passages more even under the fingers, very very useful

[Evanpianomaster]

Can we appreciate how good that YouTube Short Loop was?

[TheDeadOfNight]

Right, because hard work and dedication is what earned them the skills and is what's paying off. That's why god won't save them, god was never a factor

[vsevolod]

The absolute rythms are godlike when learning long passages

[WarrenPostma]

Nowhere near needing this advice on my piano journey except that I just adore his playing.

[jbw]

I am all for splitting that passage up between both hands. And lots of other passages of Beethoven's

[nikolinelund]

This is probably how good my grandma was in the old days🙃

[hurricane_hazel]

I am bookmarking this video for my next life, when I attempt this sonata.

[brandonmacey]

Never to fear, Beethoven is a performance. God saves the soul

[timothy]

He has small hands with pudgy fingers! 🤩 that gives me more inspiration and confidence than anything else. I curse my hands daily.

[artgurrl]

OMG, he sounds like Alaster Moody from Harry Potter. LMAO! But the advice is excellent!

My piano teacher let me practice that - ❤with first the all notes as Akkords

GOD: I DON'T EVEN BELONG TO THIS CONVERSATION! ARE U TRYING TO GET A PUNISHMENT, MY CHILDREN?
