Maybe you can teach how to use these chord progressions in various styles like ballads or nocturnes? This is awesome 👍.

@@Ryv05agree! Would love to see an in depth on chopin's style especially, I remember reading somewhere that his compositions are pretty close to his improvisations, just a little more polished

Love love this! I have read about this, but have never heard anyone talk and teach on it. Enjoyed much. Bach had to improvise to get his job in Hamburg. Beethoven improvised when auditioning for Mozart for lessons.

Beethoven hated other bad musicians to come up with different versions. However, Chopin improvised Beethoven and Mozart constantly. Chopin also never payed his own pieces the same way twice or as published. He even showed his students how to improvise by writing example improvisations on Nocturne 9-2. (Ekier version published this written impro.. sample)

Im all on with your explications ❤ For a classical pianist perception, its awesome what you doing in ur video and it really sound like mozart and beethoven, especially with cadences which are mozart's typical one! Last thing, for people reading this commentary, while improvising, make sure you keep really constant rythme and make sure all notes are clear and defined while keeping a sound balance with the melody. See yall and have a great day 😀

If I were one of your students, would it be possible to learn classical along these lines, i.e., I don't want to learn lengthy compositions by rote, but rather I want to learn about how to play in various classical styles, and improvise over them? This looks very intriguing.

@contemporaryschoolofpiano Жыл бұрын

Yes, it's very possible to study and learn lots of great repertoire using this methodology. I would even go as far as saying it can improve your sightreading and memorization skills as you a re providing a holistic reference for your learning rather than learning by rote.

What kind of keyboard do you have? It sounds great. And how is the action?

@contemporaryschoolofpiano 5 ай бұрын

This is a Roland RD 2000 with VST software operated sound added to the keyboard for further enhanced sound quality. The Roland action is very good not as good as a real piano but it never is.

@Pgm94 Жыл бұрын

This is really amazing, thank you! To me, the classical you played sounded just as good as any piece someone has been working on for 2 months studying. Amazing. I had a question about the chord progression - if we wanted to do this to other chord progressions how could we go about doing that? Do we just take them from other classical songs, or is there some principles to compose classical chord progressions? I'm curious since they don't necessarily stick to one key, and so that part where they have diminished and 7ths is a bit harder for me to understand.

@contemporaryschoolofpiano Жыл бұрын

That's a question that can only be answered in a few lessons or tutorials on harmony. Firstly, start with some existing chord progressions, a good one is Pachabel's Cannon, 1,5,6,3,4,1,4,5 try it in a number of different keys. The next step would be attempting some patterns that modulate or are nondiatonic to just one scale! Best of luck with it, the most important thing is to keep it simple and let your body do the playing not just your mind!

@Ryv05 Жыл бұрын

How do you know what scale to play in your right? Do you play the scale of the chord you switch to?

@contemporaryschoolofpiano Жыл бұрын

So at this point, you want to only play the scale of the key you are in at the time, if you switch scale with every new chord it will sound a bit unsettled. But if the music modulates you want to change the key with the modulation.
