Thank you to all who have waited patiently for this tutorial over the years! It has been a highly requested tutorial and I hope you all enjoy it. Have another great week of practicing!

Wondering if you could utilize empty space in your videos. Possibly putting the score on the right?

I love this piece, I’m going to learn it right after after I learn 10 - 1,2,5,6,7, and 12! Learned 10-3 when I was 16, got 1/2 way through 10-4 and then never really played classical piano again as life got in the way. I’m 40 now, bought a 1986 Yamaha baby grand (and new clavinova 685 on your recommendation as wife was going a little crazy) and have been practicing daily 1-3 hrs for over a year. Got the confidence to start back on 10-4 after about 9 months of getting back up to speed. (Hard to start back on a piece that has lingered in your mind for over 20 years). I’m telling you it’s at 160-176bpm with just a few shaky bars (playing the ending of that piece is truly ecstasy). I am now working on 1,2 and 12 and to be honest it’s going swimmingly. Plan is to learn all 24 and you are part of the reason I have the confidence to do it! In retrospect, I was never really taught how to practice, I think my teacher just assumed I knew what to do as I tended to progress rapidly but I now realize my potential was way higher. Where was KZfaq 20 years ago? I found a teacher who I play for every few months (it’s not Babayan, but he is good😉). I don’t think I would have done that if not for your insistence that it was necessary and I now agree. You are making a difference. Thank you!

The two primary technical challenges of this piece are the middle section and playing the RH in the coda softly enough but all anyone ever talks about are the arpeggios which primarly serve to warm the hand up and relax it for the two aforementioned sections.

Yess thank you! I was looking forward to the Sunshine etude. One of the pieces I‘d like to someday incorporate in my repertoire

can't agree more with what you said about do-hyun kim it is so beautiful

You are an excellent pianist and amazing person !!!! My appreciation!!!

Will you ever make a tutorial on Prokofiev's third sonata? That would be great!

Hey josh, what is the piece you used to demonstrate that you heard played by murray perahia? It sounds like a mozart piece?

My teacher likened the "joyful" first section [good call, Josh] to birds singing, tweeting.

You might get to this I the full video, but I think pedaling is a key technique in this etude as well.

Thank you, really helpful

Wow. I subscribed to your channel when I saw your fingers fly.

Great lesson, thank you. I have been watching a lot of your videos and I'm a guitarist. :-) A little tip about the three anatomical planes of motion. 1. Rotation,; 2. Side bending; 3. flexion/extension. Have a nice 2020!

Can you do an updated tutorial of Ravel's Ondine on your new grand? Your old video was awhile back and on an electric keyboard. I'd love to hear your advice on its dynamics using the grand. Thanks for the awesome videos.

For this i played op 32 no 34 from bertini, some parts are really similar

Very helpful Josh. Have you heard Ruth Slenczyska’s recording (complete Decca) of this? I never knew the LH should swing so much until I heard this stunning recording. One of the best I’ve heard of this piece.

I have been requesting the tutorial or some video with advice on Czerny Op.756 etude 3, 5, 10, 14, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22 or 25. For years, any of these etudes on different piano channels and nobody does. They only dedicate themselves to make tutorials on these etudes of which a video is no longer needed

Do-Hyun Kim

I’m still waiting for the Sonata in B Minor tutorial

So this is a finger pearly etude not a weight transfer, this is useful as i am just getting into this etude and notice difficulty in staying relaxed hand when going up arpeggios with the thumb and you just said play the thumb lightly that's exactly my problem it drags and tenses my other fingers. The thumb is the only finger with opposing movement right left not up down like all other fingers ! How to do that thumb up down unattural movement, i am guessing requires to rotate the wrist to the right slightly.

Mr. Wright sorry this might be an off topic question but can you please do a video about sheet music editions and some stores. Thanks!

Hey Josh! What was that piece you used as an example at the 3:00 minute mark?

Are you going to make a tutorial on op. 25 no. 4? After practising that one for a while, my right hand becomes sore. Any thoughts?

Could you do a tutorial on Schuberts Impromptu in B major op 142 no 3?

0:39

hey josh, could you make a tutorial on the Scarlatti Sonata in G K146? I would love that :)

Josh, how long did it take to learn this etude from sitting down with it for the first time to at tempo?

Dang Thai Son owns this etude. I hate how Babayan biased you are.

This piece is F difficult. I'd start from the end: 4 octaves FM7 chords with both hands

How to play chopin revolution

A little fun fact. Whenever I hear this piece i will smell spoiled milk.

Particularmente a mi no me gusta repita, lo prefiero más lento y lo disfruto más.

Dr. Wright, Maybe you can answer a question for me. This seems to be a new practice among pianist, and it really irritates me. Why do piano students call solo compositions for piano alone “songs“? Hey song is a musical composition with lyrics of the song, with the possible exception of the Mendelssohn Songs Without Words. What is so difficult about saying you’re learning a new piano piece, are you really enjoyed that piano piece you heard in concert? Of course to be more specific depending on what you’re listening to you may just want to say Nocturn or prelude if you were étude, but they certainly are not songs. Do you agree with me? I wish everyone would just stop it.

Wow eric liu

Can u be my teacher

I could say "First"...But I won't. Psych...First. Please don't be mad

What is the point of saturating KZfaq especially in the piano area with these etudes? I don't find them difficult and they are quite overrated! I don't know who will answer me but they can't deny that they are overrated and what is the reason? only a silly tradition that has been preserved from teacher to student in summary the 27 Etudes of Chopin are preventing other more difficult and beautiful etudes from seeing the light and being known as are the Op.756, 365, 399, 400, 753, 754, 755, 807, 818,819, 822, 837 and 856 of Czerny, Henri Ravina Op. 1, 3, Cramer Op. 107, Mayer Op. 55, 169, 200, Marmontel Op. 25, 85, 108, Clementi Etudes, Henselt Op.2, 5. Moscheles Etudes, Kesller, Rosellen, Heller, etc.
