@justdio7459 --= you're welcome. Good luck and remember to practice the last page more than any other, especially the final bars.

@@PaulBartonPiano thank you for the tip! Will definitely do it.

It's easier to play complex piano music with lots of black keys. The hardest key to play difficult piano music in is C major, the opposite to how music looks on paper :)

Perhaps it will help you to also think of it that every note is flattened except for the F, so you'd only have to keep that one in mind instead of trying to keep an eye on all the flats

@@lrxasharp yeah that helps a lot. Still hard if trying to sight read tho.

@@DanielSilva-gc4xz Sigh-reading requires a lot of "processing power" of your brain. So, you could try to free up some of that power by trying to recognize certain patterns/shapes, which then in turn allows you to focus more on the rest. Example: Seeing a triad/chord in with a third at the top means it's the second inversion, at the bottom means it's the first inversion. And there are so many other "tricks" that could help you =) Try to read it like you would a book: as words (shapes) instead of letters (notes); you also recognize the words (shapes) instantly eventually, except that you've had enough time to develop normal alphabet reading skills.

Hi Musikliebhaber - subtitles have finished processing. Have a good week!

Oh thank you dear Paul. 🌹 I'm sure you didn't hear it. It's my third try with subtitles. Thanks very much. Now I can understand you even better. May I ask what you would suggest for me? Also finger exercises and which ones? 🎶I would be very happy to hear from you. Have a beautiful day 🌞

@@musikliebhaber3854 I recommend "Essential Finger Exercises (Dohnányi, Ernő) petruccimusiclibrary.ca/files/imglnks/caimg/1/1c/IMSLP461147-PMLP508711-Dohnanyi_SUVINI.pdf Have a great week!

Thank you so much Paul 🌹

v indeed

Correct, Scott Joplin used the chords (and style) of the first half of bar 11 many times!

Yes, sustain pedal down on the 1st semiquaver and up on the third. Semiquavers 1+2 in legato with a slur and sustain, 3+4 in staccato.

IMSLP

@@arandompianist7371 I don't know how to use it, can you help me

@@calvinhu8922 imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No.25%2C_Op.79_(Beethoven%2C_Ludwig_van)

it may take a little while... if you're just getting started on playing piano, trust me, you need to avoid skipping beginner pieces Beginner pieces helps you learn and develop good techniques, whereas skipping to advance pieces will force you to develop a bad habit of using wrong technique, making it harder to progress

@@dwijaksara is there any beginner piece you recommend

@@calvinhu8922 I would easily recommend pieces such as: Bach - Minuet in G Major, Beethoven - Fur Elise, Eric Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1, Chopin - Prelude No. 4 in E Minor, Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata Movement 1 These pieces is good for practicing two hands coordination, volume control, chords, voicing, etc. Also the sheet is relatively easy to read for beginners... when you get used to it you can then move on to more advance pieces. Good luck on your journey!

@@dwijaksara Excellent suggestions!

thank you! -- no :) I'm just reminded of the Butterfly when I play the Beethoven 25 and the reverse.

Of course he isn't! But...wellll..... you know... lol
