„The sudden deafening silence is our real destination here“… very nice:D

Hey what's up! I'm the guy from Reddit with that post asking about anything I should know before attempting this piece. Funnily enough, the more I watch videos about it, and after trying to play through some parts yesterday, the less daunting it seems to me. Especially the part where you explain the "bounce technique" or whatever you want to call it where you basically use a chord to bounce onto the next was something I wouldn't have thought about using immediately until my lesson with my piano teacher in a few weeks, so very thankful for that.

I will keep on experimenting with the parts in this piece, and at the end of today I hope to be able to conclude how realistic this piece is for me :P.

+1 for that train sound reference btw haha

Thank you so much! This video has revived my interest in this etude, which I hadn’t played or listened to in years.

I find the stable 5th finger super helpful for a lot of chopin. when I was learning the etude in Ab major, a stable pinky and proper wrist movement made the sound so much cleaner

[Aupheromones]

I love the way you describe music and its emotional impact. Looking forward to hearing more of what you have to say :) You have a beautiful and insightful grasp of music itself, thank you for sharing it!

[luisgraca]

Thanks man, learning this one. Will try your tips 🤝🏽

[drewrichardson]

This is excellent. I will take some of this into my practice. Thank you

[jennywr]

I watched all your tutorials, really enjoyed and really helpful, thanks so much! I'm looking foward for more videos! Thanks again!

[KaDrD]

im studying this piece, thanks for the tips

[jamessingleton]

Brilliant insights, brilliant humour too :-) I like your musical ideas very, very much and of course your constant quest of relaxation has already had a huge impact on my playing!!

[Irakli]

Thank you so much for this video. Not only does it have wonderful insights into the possible interpretation of the piece, but it also helped me so much technically. I was struggling with the right hand chord jumps from day one. No amount of drilling helped me hit the chords accurately. I followed your advice and simply released all tension from the wrist and I haven’t hit a wrong note since! The difference is incredible.

Great my man! I am using this piece for my LTCL exam

8:10 when I "throw" my hands like this with stretched fingers, my pinky "locks" himself in the middle joint what do you think could help me?
Think I have hyper-mobility aswell cuz it really looks bad when the joint collapses..

[RolandHuettmann]

"You make it difficult for yourself" -- that is the key sentence. Maybe someone has to always sit next to me when practicing to correct my wrong hand movements and make me stay relaxed...

I enjoyed your joyful lesson and I subscribed of course. One time watching is not enough. I will hope to not sound like the train that rushed into this video. Working on it...)

[daves]

Well that was an easy subscribe. You have a really good way to convey your thoughts. I'm picking this piece back up again and your lesson was beneficial. Thank you!

[pjn]

This is such a good video. Your advice is very relevant to this piece but useful elsewhere and I like the mix of technical and musical. Thanks Denis!

[mbaker]

Watching your videos for a few weeks. Very nice tips! Love your tutorials, especially learn to play in much more comfortable positions. Thanks. 🤓👍❤️
