At first I just liked this for the sake of learning, but now I dare say this became one of my favorite interpretations just to listen to. Many others are going way too fast. Danke :-)

I was so desperately hoping there would be a tutorial of this piece, what relief when I found this, I can't wait to get stuck in to it, thank you for posting it

Thank you Jane. I played classical guitar for a number of years and just started on the piano. I can read the music but your demos make it that much easier for me to learn. Please by all means keep up the great work.

thank you for writing

Just got it down, thank you for the upload!!! Such a beautiful song..

Thanks so much! My mother was really effected by this song and she came up to me and asked me to learn it. I'm so glad I don't have to spend extra effort on figuring ot the notes :)

you're welcome. congrats on your learning this nice piece.

I am entranced by both the music and by the exquisitely beautiful hand of the artist!

Thank you very much! An excelent video! I'm a beginner from Chile and it helped a lot. Now I'm practicing!!!!!

I love you Jane! I did not have an idea how to play piano and I now am learning it from you videos! And we have a quit same taste :)) Thx!

You're welcome, Tony. I love listening to classical guitar!

Dear Jane, thanks a lot for this tutorial I recently got some sheet music my grandmother used to play and this was one of her favorites! Your tutorials really helps find the mistakes I make which is very nice!

You are so helpful!

Thank you, Jane. It's really useful, especially those names for farts of piece, makes it memorable.

Hola Jane,quería decirte que he agregado Gnossienne a mi repertorio.En total llevo 8 piezas aprendidas por tus tutoriales.Es magnífico; me siento al piano día por medio.Necesito que me salgan casi perfectas.Las aprendo rapidamente, y con mucha constancia las toco una y otra vez.Así hago trabajar mis neuronas, me entretengo y disfruto la música.Gracias a tí querida amiga soy una persona felíz.Un abrazo desde Chile.

Hi! I don't play the piano but I always watch this video. It's so relaxing and just puts me in a better mood. Love this piece and how you play it. Thanks :-)

Thank you for your tutorials! I have been playing for only 9 months but I feel I may be able to tackle this one. Few notes and slow tempo but so much expression, not as easy as it looks.

Thanks for writing, Archie. Greetings back to Scotland.

Appreciated your comment, Douglas.

Hola querida amiga, aqui disfrutando tus tutoriales de Eric Satie.Son preciosos,muchas gracias.Un abrazo desde Chile

Brilliant, I got every note perfect

I ♥ YOU SO MUCH! Thanks!

This is relatively simple... and just sooo beautiful. Love playing Satie!! This one will be favorited!! Still waiting for "Big my secret" though. ;-) Keep on playing!!

Thanks a lot! I got it! :)

thnks!!! i m learning it.

thank you very much! I used to play the piano when I was a kid and I can't remember so well reading sheetmusic :( However, your videos have helped me a lot in order to playing again piano!

brava !!!

Aaand here I am again haha Almost everytime I get back to your channel when I find a new song to learn

very nice :)

Super cool

Beautiful music beautiful hands

@qqleq2 Quite sure I am using whichever hand notated by the score. Some pianos have a third pedal, the sostenuto pedal -- middle pedal on a grand. It sustains just the note(s) played right before pressing that pedal. That is the sustain effect you wish to achieve. My teacher never stressed pedaling techniques during my five years of lessons. I rely on my ears, trial and error, mostly error ;)

Amazing!

My piano teacher has givin me this peace to learn. Your vid is very helpfull. Ik can understand the song better. And play it easyer from the sheet music. Thanks

superb

Très jolie interprétation , bravo Jane !

Hey Jane this is your friend from The BronxI have to let you know that your choice and of music to teachIs always on pointThis particular piece as you may know was in a few movies There is something slightly haunting about this piece if pointing is the word to use And you play it I feel at A good speed Sometimes when I look at the faces of the people I pass on the street I hear this piece I'm already trying to master of the pieces that you teach I don't know when I will get to this one Please keep it coming

you're welcome. glad to hear that you are back playing the piano!try to sightread 2 -3 minutes a day. In a few short years you will be good at it. :)

You play very well Thank you very much I was of help to know in which order to put my fingers: 3

@nipodna It is obvious that the notes were sustained in this video. Almost all classical music requires the pedal. Baroque is the exception. You might wish to do some studying to learn why.

Thanks for this :D So nice to follow youre Liszt hands

you're welcome. It would be much simpler in the long run to learn to read music though. In five years you will be independent. oh, what a feeling! :)

Quintessential Satie. Beautifully expressed here. Even in the context of instruction. My favorite gymnopedie is number 3. And. Opus 13. By dustin ohalloran. Is a kind of gnosdiene only Satie could. Have. Composed. Thank you. Jane. For all these. Classic. Yet. Accessible. Works.

@MagentaRainbowz did you check imslp?

very good! and you're welcome :)

hello very good , a beautiful piece . brazil

you have beautiful hands x

Yay :)

I love you! Is there any chance you could do Gnoissenne no. 4? Please...

I've seen F/fa 2ottave la/dodiesis beyond two octave for accompagniment. for melody I think no problem. am I right? thank for your video, you are a kind person

Thank you very much for these tutorials they are splendid. Here's how I learn : - Start Synthesia ( midi reading program that shows notes falling on keyboard + sheet) and load the song. I play it at 10% and incrementally raise the tempo. - I watch bbdhrggl video of the same composition to learn fingering, and dynamics. Results are terrific!

thank you Jane ... I thought I was a goner for sure .

yes, that applies to you :)

Bom prático

E' BELLISSIMA ! Mi piacerebbe tanto studiarla. E' possibile avere una copia dello spartito? Un Grazie anticipato e complimenti per l'esecuzione.

practice one phrase at a time, relax and hum along. do keep a strict count. do not move on until you are satisfied with the sound. soon you will have the entire piece done. after that you can relax even more and loosen the count a little. good luck.

glad you are using the score. that is the point of my tutorials. use your ears too. tilting the camera casts shadow and the fingers at back get covered. this is by far the best angle. focus on my fingers movement, not what's under them. make sense? :)

I love this piece. What level RCM is this? Thanks 🤍

Hi Jane, is this piece more diffucult than Gymnopedie no.1???? Agh, I don't know which one I want to play, both are good.

info is on the webpage

Hey, Jane, I am an autodidact piano player. The problem that I have, is how Satie wrote the score. He seems to suggest a different way of dividing the notes between left and right hand. It's too complicated for me, and sometimes it seems not really possible. So I play it just simply, the way you do, too, playing the melody with the left hand, and bass and chords with the left.. However, I do not like the fact that I have to use the pedal so much, since to have to base note to be sustained, you have to keep the pedal down, but this means that for instance all the grace note are sustained too. I never learned how to use the pedal, I do it on instinct, and that works normally very fine. What is you opinion/how do you do it? Sometimes let go of the pedal and lose the basenote when too many non-chord notes are sustained, or just have all the notes sound together? I now do a bit of both, but I'd like to know if there is a rule or technique for it. Thanks in advance for an answer.

"tutorial" is anything that teaches. and as many would vouch, my method does teach. you should simply avoid my dozen or so tutorials. lol. you fit my blog titled "a common misconception about reading music" :)

love u i learned it in one weak tnks even a partial blind guy ca learn how to play the piano do u have any more of satie

I'm trayng to see the notes and time of accompanyment. have you the score?

Hi jane, thanks for this tutorial ! I have trouble with the F bass note. How do you get such a sustain, it seems you have less on the F minor chord ?

It is wonderfull. Where do you buy this sheet music please ? Thanks.

those who use it either play by ear or follow the sheetmusic :)

oops, thanks. will make correction.

What type of Yamaha piano are you playing on?

thank you jane. pls can you help. which pedal did you used? sostenuto?

Kind of reminds me of a cross between the Harry Potter theme song and mad world! :3

I can't read sheet music. I learn by ear. I watched this video and then went and played it, having never tried to play the piece before. It seems you're opinion has been disproved...?

Thank you Jane! me Tarzan

You learn me !!!!

Could we get an updated version?

The best piece of advice i can give about learning a piece on any instrument, is UGLY-SLOW-ACCURATE. It doesn't have to sound beautiful in the beginning. Once you can play accurately, then you're free to feel, interpret and really play. Make your movements BIG, LOUD and INTENTIONAL. Listen to yourself and let your hands learn. REPEAT and PRACTICE. Once you've got it down and can play the piece without really thinking, then you're ready to think about how it feels - then you perform. Good luck.

good lord ... no disrespect ever intended ... just teasing a bit my favorite piano teacher.

me too

U1, upright

play the single note with one (either) hand.

Jane. Pedaling on this piece is requiered?

Please Explain CHopin ballad no 1 for me Jane I feel like failure :( Im stuck on one bit please Help

@ollyuzr thanks. btw, my poor unlucky husband just made me lunch 'cause I'm busy replying to such comments ;)

Hello Jane, can you please help me find a song ?

Thanks very good, only constructive criticism is much better do the tutorials with the camera slightly tilted from one side to better appreciate the notes because from above are not the notes you play well. If not for the score that I downloaded from "Gnossienne" did not know you played the note never Ab and Eb

this piece is in f-minor, not in a-minor!

give yourself more time. play so s l o w l y that you can play the hands together, then gradually increase the tempo. best to use a metronome.

okay everyone, you can be nice to ollyuzr now :)
