Nahre Sol: "Polyrythme made extremely easy"
Me: _Laughs in Chopin_

Nahre: you get the point.
Me: . . . yup (suspiciously long sip of tea).

I remember learning how to play polyrhythms years ago, when my teacher told me to learn Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu, specifically for that reason. I just couldn't get it right, even after a couple of weeks. It clicked for me when I looked at it "mathematically" (instead of hoping I'd get it right eventually on feeling alone), like you explained in the vid. After that point, polyrhythms came rather easily, and every piece I've learned that features polyrhythms since then hasn't been too hard. It's like you said, you start recognizing these types of patterns and something in your brain just clicks. I don't think I've ever learned how to do polyrhythms with one hand though, seems like a great exercise.

I find a good trick for 2 vs 3 is that put together it makes the rhythm to carol of the bells

Superb lesson, Nahre, really enjoyed this one. Here’s how I learned to commit to memory four against three, a.k.a. half note triplets: LH taps quarter notes, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4. For the RH, first subdivide each beat into three by counting: 1-trip-let, 2-trip-let, 3-trip-let, 4-trip-let. While keeping LH going, RH taps at ONE (trip) (let), (2) TRIP (let), (3) (trip) LET, (4) (trip)(let). Hope this is clear. Thank you for spotlighting polyrhythms!

Hey, great video. I've only messed with the against 4 when learning triplets but you and Adam Neely are inspiring me to go farther. I'll post this on my studio page on Facebook for my teachers and students. Peace.

Have you ever thought about writing a piano book with these exercises in it? I think it would be super cool for learning pianists!

*Flashback to 11 against 6 in Chopin*

NEVER AGAIN

Also I first learned polyrhythm in Debussy’s Arabasque 2 against 3 - I basically just played the C octave with 1 hand doing eighths and the other doing triplets - though your exercise is really useful

I find myself just randomly tapping 2 against 3 or 3 against 4 on the table whenever I’m bored -

musician things lol

This is the first time there is one exercice that i can do on your channel :D Thank you !

Love it! Polyrhythms rule. Thanks! I was half expecting "Pass the goddamn butter" for 3 against 4. 😀

i kinda love that when you turned on the metronome it was already at 180.

This is an insane exercise, I love it! It would be especially useful for rhythmic minimalism I think. :)
Thanks Nahre. I will definitely start playing around with this

Polyrhythms can give me years of enjoyment. It's so easy to improvise with them and it sounds magical right away. It's like a hidden world that I didn't know that it existed.
I've internalised 2:3 quite well (with two hands only, not with one hand), have been playing with it for about a year now, and will go to 3:4 and 3:5 after that.
The great advantage is that you can practice it everywhere, away from the keyboard, with the only risk of driving your family mad 😂

I think I need an extra hand for some of these! And a drumset! Sounds so cool, thanks for posting!

You know, you always release your videos at the best possible times. I was just looking into Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu and the aspect of polyrhythms was too much for me at the time.
Thank you so much, I think I'll take another into that and see if I can apply these exercises until the concept clicks
