This piece is brilliant! The man was a wonderful father to write tunes like this for his children.

I love ProPractice! Keep 'em up, Josh! If you get the chance, do Heroic polonaise please, hahaha!

Love it. Incorporating your shoulders, arms, wrists, the high left hand, the pulling off with the fingers... all very helpful and just excellent information. Thanks for sharing. Just the free tips alone are extremely valuable and will make me a better keyboard artist. Whew! Great stuff, Josh!

I played "Golliwogts" a lot. In measure 5-8, I would hold back the tempo ("retenu") and accelerate the tempo at about measure 6 and go to the regular "mouvement" in faster tempo leading to measure 9--where the real "cakewalk" action begins!

Will you do tutorial for the gradus as well? I am struggling on how to study it ...

Thank you for sharing these videos Josh; they are very helpful! I was also wondering if you have a video on how to play a repeated note very fast, by this I mean a note for instance in Liszt's la campanella and the opening of Beethoven's Piano Sonata no.4 op.7 1st movement?

The cakewalk is a traditional children's game in which children walk along a circular, sectioned, numbered path as music plays. When the music suddenly stops, each participant must stop on the number he happens to be stepping on at that moment. A number is drawn from a hat. If it matches the number a child has "landed" upon, he is the winner of a big cake.
