The motif used throughout, Josh, is the Dies Irae, one of the oldest Gregorian Chants and still sometimes heard in the Requiem Mass celebrated at funerals. It is well known by Christians who are familiar with the old Latin Mass and is still often sung in Latin at funeral masses where the Mass proper is in English but the family wants the old chanted parts in Latin. Thanks for the tips on memorization.

I know I'll grow like crazy studying with you. Thank you 🙏🎶

This is such a valuable lesson. I'm SOOO glad I took a course in the Rudiments of Harmony. Recognizing the harmonic patterns rapidly accelerates the memorization process! It WORKS. And I need to implement it much more.Another great lesson from Dr.Josh ….

I done this when I started out and I was trying find short cuts and lately I've been struggling and watching this video everything makes more sense. thanks Josh

6:08 I am one of the guys who think you are totally amazing. However, especially at the very beginning of practising a piece, it is better to play SLOWLY and accurately. This leads to better memorisation. Josh lacks patience here, you can literally feel his overflown email box, sitting on his back, see 12:21. It is always a pleasure to watch his videos, with his outstanding piano experience, humbleness and honesty.

Josh, love the memorizing video. I do all of it, look at the chords and intervals, the position of my fingers on the keyboard, and practicing hands separately first on small sections, then two hands. Even w all this, I still am much better sight reader(speed)...but there is something so much more loving to play from memory.

Hey, Josh. I've been watching your various channels for a while and getting better at memorizing, but I needed this older video to get me thinking about starting at the end. Years of not doing that have made me resistant, so thanks for this wonderful motivation! You're a kind and humble teacher. Much appreciated! Oh, a P.S. Congrats that you've been Dr. Wright for a while now! 🌞

Thanks for sharing this useful insight! This will help out greatly when performing from score (although I will need to find a way to carry out these steps quickly for those quick requests). Helpful!

Hello Josh! This is so cool and helpful, thanks so, so much for all your videos.Where would you recommend I go to learn everything I should about theory? Is there a certain book that you might recommend?

@pimjanssens8808 6 жыл бұрын

Dear Josh, a usefull extesion of your former video about memorizing (20120. I see you struggling with it as I do (but I insist, as I WANTt to memorize pieces, so that I can play them everywhere). Indeed it takes a lot of energy. Consolating to see that (you as a definitelty better player than I am). Very sympathic too. I will use what you advised. BTW: Don't try to answer on my reaction; I know what it is to receive to many e-mails daily..

Watching several videos on memorizing music and my primary take away is its hard and I’m not the only one struggling lol

Gieseking was famous for his incredible ability to learn music quickly. If he wrote a book on how to memorize music, it’s probably worth consulting.

The glissandi in Totentanz are brutal on the fingers. I'd love to see any advice on that you have.

What about the technique of using the ear as well, try to play a section by ear after you have learned it somewhat. I like to lay in bed and try to hear the whole piece in my head thinking about the notes. I also think very slow playing when checking for memorization is good because muscle memory is no longer a crutch. Good advise or no?

@TommenIBaratheon 4 жыл бұрын

So for many years aside from being self taught, I rely mainly on hearing/muscle memory. I can read music fantastically, but I have a learning diasbility(ASD) so I find it difficult to memorize piano music. Anything you can suggest to me how I can better memorize music? I have a good sense of music theory, but still have major confusion on the circle of fifths. I know chord progressions, it all seems to be a natural part of being Autistic. I'm unsure. But I still have problem memorizing.. any help would be appreciated... I know this video was posted in 2016. I still need help. :(

@richardcasey4439 2 жыл бұрын

I actually have the Gieseking/Leimer book on piano technique. And just like Josh says, their methods really help with memorization. And I definitely do not have a great memory!

@dagadbm 7 жыл бұрын

you only do it by chord names? you don't do the harmonic analysis like (I IV V etc) ?

I've been working on memorizing Satie's 1st Gymnopedie. Is there any special advice on it. It's simple enough to play looking at the sheet. Many of the configurations are so similar. Maybe that's the problem. I'm trying not to depend on muscle memory as Josh and others recommend.
