Thx Paul. The way you broke this piece into sections will make easier to practice. Very few piano teachers teach this way. They will just say it is too difficult for you to learn. Actually, if they break the piece into small section, it is doable. It has been my dream to be able to learn this. After 30 years, I am ready for this piece. Again, thank you for the video!!!
@PaulBartonPiano4 жыл бұрын
Glad to hear you feel ready to play the Scherzo. If you work to master 20 small sections and view each section is a perfectly achievable goal and be content to play the more difficult sections at a tempo you can manage, it's sure you can realize your dream. In life we often find ourselves being told by someone we can't do this or that. It's not important. The important thing is never to tell ourselves we can't.

Does anything faze you Paul? You seem to make it look so easy but I’m sure there are endless hours of practice behind the scenes. Your tutorials are excellent. I learnt to play piano as a child but I’m not brilliant. Good enough for school assemblies etc or behind closed doors but I love to listen to experts like you and follow the score. Thank you so much .

Absolutely seriously helpful! On another note, Paul, can I advise you to mark the timestamps with a colon like this?: Introduction 0:00 PS1: 2:50 PS2: 8:20 PS3: 9:30 etc... That way KZfaq will automatically create easy to view sections in the video progress bar. As you can see it already did that with the introduction and sum up section. If it was done like that intentionally you can disregard my comment. Thanks for putting out such amazing content again!

I find your tutorials very inspiring and motivating. I still have a long way to go, a lot of problems to fix and technique to learn, and what's worse I'm doing it on a digital piano. I have made progress and I feel like I can work on the technical issues and improve without struggling with frustration. Thank you.
@PaulBartonPiano4 жыл бұрын
Don't worry about having a digital piano, as long as the keys are properly weighted (?) It's the musical intention and expression you put into striking the notes that truly matter - after that moment of contact the rest is out of your hands so to speak whether on an acoustic grand or digital piano. It's strange how the fingers can adapt to and overcome the difficulties associated with less-than-ideal piano keyboards. I imagine out there there are many fine pianists that have no option but to practice on old out-of-tune uprights with notes that don't work and sticking keys! Best of luck with your practice!
@Zhinarkos4 жыл бұрын
@@PaulBartonPiano It is a weighted 88 key piano with an adequate sound. I can always dream of better sound quality and touch response of course. But I've come to recognize the particular recording of a grand piano that it uses as something familiar and warm to me *and* I've been working with it's particular, somewhat heavy and floppy, action for eight years now (though I've been practising over twice as long as that) so whether I like it or not that is the default assumption my muscles have about the weight and movement of the piano keys. My current projects are the C minor prelude from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Moszkowski's Etude Op 72 no. 2 in G minor with which I find the most trouble with and Chopin's Nocturne Op 72 no 1. Thank you so much for the encouragement and everything you do sir.

Thank you very much for this great tuturial. This really makes want to learn the piece... Your methodology and exercices tips are full of efficiency as always (some make me think about études op10/1 and 25/12). I also appreciated some details about some sections as the way to see it... For example, I loved your "waltz approach" of some sections because this this exactly the feeling I have of theses parts. Moreover I believe that this feeling is probably not an "accident" when we know what a "valse" (and "A flat major") means for Chopin. This conforts the interpretation I have of this scherzo No.2 as the expression of Chopin's dramatic love story with Maria Wodzinska... Otherwise, speaking about "colors" for a general point of view, note that the Bflat major is not so far from "A flat major" (of love) and expresses the "heart" pain (for me), whereas Bflat mino rrather expresses the darkest "mortuary" side of these feeling, maybe the same image that Chopin used to give to his pupils... I loved as well the idea of "question-answer" of the first bars even if after listening and listening the piece I also like the idea of an self question of Chopin after the famous letter he received from Maria at the time he composed the piece. Of course, I have no proof of I'm saying but for the introduction, I like to imagine words such as: (pp) Oh My Ma-ri-a, My Ma-ri-a (FF) What have you done to me ? But all that is just feelings and as you said it well in the video, the interpretation is a matter of everyone's imagination... Lastly, as a more practical point of view, I was wondering about the amount of work for such a piece, compared to an another famous and difficult 10 min long piece: "ballade no.1" ? Keep on going with your great work...

In the broken downward arpeggiated D flat major chord at the end of section 4, you mention the possibility of playing it one- or two-handed. I actually use the two-handed method, but not in the way you demonstrate. Personally, I prefer to play the D flat with my right hand and the F and A flat with my left. What do you think of this way of playing? Is it practical, or rather sloppy?
@lrxasharp Жыл бұрын
Hey Paul, would you say that in section 24:45, Chopin was inspired by Mozart's "O wie will ich triumphieren" at around 40 seconds in (using Kurt Moll's performance upload by leoperarm as example), or perhaps a coincidence? I'd like to think that it's the former. =) Such a wonderful descending bass.
