Beethoven Op. 119, No. 1 (slow play through!) | Piano Progress Week 78

15 days ago

This Bagatelle in G minor by Beethoven (Op. 119, No. 1) is slowly starting to come together now after about 4 or 5 hours of practice. The second half of this piece is a real mind f*ck!... the hands are doing completely different things at the same time, and the things that they are doing are unusual and difficult, so the hand independence required for it (especially at the correct tempo eventually) needs to be well developed. Many more hours needed on this! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ludovico Einaudi - Elegy for the Arctic | Piano Progress Week 76

about 1 month ago

A recording I made of Einaudi's "Elegy for the Arctic" after about 5 or 6 hours of practice. I will certainly come back to it, but I've done all I can with it for now. It is quite a simply constructed piece, yet no less difficult because of it. It feels quite improvisatory in tone, so whilst I have paid attention to Einaudi's articulation markings, I haven't been too strict with the dynamic instructions... and have put my own stamp on bits of it instead. It's actually quite a nice piece if you want to familiarise yourself with the F minor key! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ludovico Einaudi - Atoms (Improv) | Piano Progress Week 75

29 days ago

My version of Einaudi's "Atoms". It took me about half an hour to work out the chords - and in light of the sheet music not being available yet, this improvisation is as close an approximation of Einaudi's new piece as I could get after half an hour. Einaudi's style seems to be basically improv anyway, and he sometimes plays his published pieces very different live. The chords are variations of F# minor, to E major, then to a B major 7 of some sort... I think. There is a B section with a base D, E, D, C# pattern that is quite nice, with about the same right hand chords on top. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Recording of Grade 4 Exam Pieces | Piano Progress Week 72

about 1 month ago

Before going in for the exam, I did one last play through of all my pieces. Having worked on them for a good month with my teacher, they are as good as they are ever going to be at this point. It will be great perhaps to re-visit them in a few years when I have more experience at the piano, and perhaps I will find new things in them... but I, like a lot of people, am happy to see the back of them for now! There is always a bit of fatigue that sets in when you play the same pieces over and over again in the run up to an exam, and I am definitely feeling it with these. Roll on Grade 5!... 00:00 Buxtehude - Sarabande (List A Piece) 01:02 CPE Bach - Andante (List B Piece) 02:30 Martha Mier - Worrisome Blues (List C Piece) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sibelius - Joueur de Harpe (First look) | Piano Progress Week 71

about 1 month ago

The first 5/10 minutes of looking at Joueur de Harpe by Jean Sibelius, an ABRSM Grade 5 piece. My teacher has said not to overplay my Grade 4 exam pieces in the run up to the exam, so I have been trying some new pieces out on the side to vary up my practice. I fell in love with this piece as soon as I heard it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grade 4 Exam Piece practice | Piano Progress Week 70

about 1 month ago

Another trip to Jaques Samuel Pianos to play on a real piano and do some detailed practice on my Grade 4 exam pieces. I also take 10/15 minutes at the end to play through some of my favourite Schumann pieces for a bit of fun, as practicing the same three pieces again and again can get… a bit dull. 00:00 Intro 00:35 Buxtehude’s Sarabande 01:19 CPE Bach’s Andante 02:41 Mier’s Worrisome Blues 03:27 (for fun…) Schumann’s Op. 15 #1 and #13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schumann - Of Foreign Lands.. | Piano Progress Week 67

3 months ago

Schumann's "Of Foreign Lands & People" from Kinderszenen, Op. 15. Since I began on this piano progress journey, I have always wanted to play this piece that is packed full of reminiscence and memory. One day I hope to be able to play some more from Op. 15! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ABRSM Grade 2 RESULTS | Piano Progress

3 months ago

A look back to my ABRSM Grade 2 results from about this time last year. My third piece "Ja-Da" really let me down - I restarted it four times if I remember correctly (I actually talk about it a bit more in detail in this video https://youtu.be/0Gm0nb_0Zz4) but it was a learning experience at the very least. If you're interested in seeing my marks and comments for Grade 3, I have recently added them as a pinned comment on my Grade 3 results video https://youtu.be/0Gm0nb_0Zz4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grade 4 Exam Piece playthrough | Piano Progress Week 66

3 months ago

I have a casual play through all the ABRSM Grade 4 exam pieces that I've looked at these last 6 months. I will decide on 3 pieces out of these next weekend. Why I've left it this late I don't know - my teacher clearly has more faith in me than I do. In some ways it may be a better approach; I risked overplaying the pieces for the last two exams. There is also a section at 00:35 explaining a bit more about how I practice polyrhythms in my scale practice - hope it's clear! 00:00 - Intro… 00:35 - a short response to a question I had on Polyrhythms 04:05 - Grade 4 pieces ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schumann - Of Foreign Lands.. (A few hours in) | Piano Progress Week 66

3 months ago

The challenges of Grieg's Arietta encouraged me to find another piece with a similar structure... and as usual, Robert Schumann provided the goods. In this video I go about solving a small(ish) problem involving the different rhythms between the top and middle voices - which required my first attempt at decoding a polyrhythm. I practice polyrhythms fairly regularly in my scales routine. There aren't many polyrhythms at my current level - this was actually the first time I'd encountered any in a piece - but because I'd done them in scale practice, I was able to implement the idea relatively quickly to solve this issue. Another reason why scale practice of all types is important! As most piano wisdom suggests, practicing doesn't just mean playing the whole piece over and over again - been there, done that, and got the useless t-shirt that comes with it. Identifying weaknesses and errors, and honing in on them, seems to be a better use of time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grieg - Arietta | Piano Progress Week 66

3 months ago

This is a tricky piece (that feels more Grade 5 than 4!) and there is lots to learn from it. It has three lines... a melody at the top, an arpeggio/broken chord pattern in the middle, and a bass line at the bottom. One of the challenges is keeping them all separate and distinct. The next challenge is bringing out the melody, and the bass line to some extent, and keeping the arpeggio lighter and less prominent whilst also solid and secure. Not easy. Anyway, it's a great, short piece that should be on every Grade 4'ers rep list I feel! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grade 4 Scales + Arpeggios | Piano Progress Week 64

3 months ago

After recently booking my Grade 4 exam, I thought I'd do a run through of the required scales. For me it's probably the easiest part of the exam, but that doesn't mean I don't practice them - it's usually the first thing I do on the piano each day,. It goes beyond the exams - it's about ingraining them in the psyche to help with sight-reading and all other aspects of piano playing. 00:00 - Intro… 00:26 - Daily Practice 01:36 - Scales 05:01 - Contrary motion scales 05:38 - Chromatic scales 05:56 - Arpeggios 07:54 - Quick discussion about the ABRSM syllabus ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chopin - Sostenuto (100 SUB SPECIAL!!!) | Piano Progress Week 63

4 months ago

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed. To celebrate 100 subscribers (and the Chopin Competition this month!) I have attempted to play Chopin's Sostenuto in Eb. It is included in the Waltz collection by Henle as an Appendix. Tackling even "beginner" Chopin is difficult, and more than ever, this is definitely a work in progress! Some of you will notice I am not playing this on my usual Casio... but on a Bechstein Grand! I hired one for an hour at Jaques Samuel Pianos on the Edgware Road for this recording - and what a beautiful piano it is! 02:01 - Outtake! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Martha Mier - Worrisome Blues | Piano Progress Week 61

4 months ago

A lovely Gershwin-esque piece, in this year's ABRSM Grade 4 Syllabus. There are some technical difficulties like pedalling which, at least to my teacher and me, needed some more choices and lift-offs than the sheet music prescribed. There was also the challenge of making the right hand legato and cantabile, and shaping it in the right way; listening back to this recording, I have bumped a few notes... so perhaps if I decide to do this piece for the exam later this year, I'll iron those out and re-record it. I haven't played through the rest of the book (Jazz, Rags & Blues Vol. 3), but if they're anything like this one, I think this book is well worth buying. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sight Reading Grade 4 | Piano Progress Week 61

4 months ago

This video gives you an idea of how I approach sight reading at the moment. It's the part of the exam I find the most difficult. I still need to look at my hands a fair bit, but fluency does come eventually.... often on the second or third run through of something. It will come with time I hope! 00:00 - Intro… 00:31 - Piece 1 03:15 - Piece 2 06:10 - Piece 3 08:59 - Piece 4 12:05 - Piece 5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bach - Invention No. 1 | Piano Progress Week 60

4 months ago

I've finally got round to recording this very difficult piece - well, difficult for me! It's relentless but also accessible; it's in the key of C major, and has a repeated pattern in both hands which, once in the fingers, brings fluency to the whole piece. It was in the ABRSM Grade 4 Syllabus for 2015/16, but I believe it to be on the more taxing end of Grade 4 pieces... closer to Grade 5. I would have recorded it slightly sooner, but I don't like to attempt a 'final' recording until I've taken a piece to my teacher and worked on it with him at least once - and my teacher has been extremely busy recently, hence why this has taken over a month. Enjoy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buxtehude - Saraband | Piano Progress Week 59

5 months ago

Continuing my love for Baroque pieces in Minor keys, this Sarabande from Buxtehude’s Suite in E minor (BuxWV 236) is really beautiful. The challenge with this piece has been to hold the notes on for the correct amount of time (harder than it sounds), as well as separate the lines out within the broken chords… keeping the melody prominent, as well as keeping the piece routed in a steady bass line. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schumann - Erster Verlust (Challenge) | Piano Progress Week 58

5 months ago

I tackle Schumann’s “Erster Verlust” after 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then an hour, the challenge being to play the piece through at each marker point. 00:00 - The challenge… 00:28 - 1 Minute 01:07 - 10 Minutes 02:37 - 1 Hour This was a great challenge, I highly recommend trying it. It helps you identify what you naturally do when facing a new piece. You can then go about changing some of those techniques to more efficient methods when you have longer to prepare a piece - which is most of the time! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valerie Capers - Billie’s Song | Piano Progress Week 57

5 months ago

Some jazz for a change! From the ABRSM Grade 4 syllabus 2013/14. There are a lot of challenges in this piece... the two most prominent being the extended jazz chords, which are much more complicated than any chords I've encountered so far in any other pieces, and attempting to project the melody line in the right hand - often within a chord being played in the same hand. This should be a touch faster (minim = 60) but I think the slower tempo makes it sound like something you’d here in the corner of a cocktail bar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bach - Invention No. 1 (Harpsichord) | Piano Progress Week 57

5 months ago

Just having a bit of fun with the Harpsichord sample on my piano whilst practicing Bach’s Invention No. 1. In all seriousness, the clarity of the Harpsichord means you have to be really accurate with the trills and mordents - so it is quite useful too! Some errors here and there of course, it’s nowhere near ready, but as this is roughly how the piece would have sounded during Bach’s day (the piano wasn’t even invented then) it’s interesting to hear it, even imperfectly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bach - Invention No. 1 (a few hours in) | Piano Progress Week 56

5 months ago

Hands together (extremely slowly) after 5 or 6 hours of practice. To me this seems like a Grade 5 piece - but it was in the 4 Syllabus for 2015/16 so I’ll trust ABRSM! Bars 11-14 and 19-the end are causing the most issues. Also have no idea how to phrase and give dynamics to the piece, but I shall check in with my teacher in a few weeks time for help with that! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schumann - The Poet Speaks | Piano Progress Week 56

5 months ago

One of my favourite Schumann pieces. I attempted this piece at the beginning of the year (see my One Year Progress video https://youtu.be/WxnOgLpoAuI!) but it was just too difficult. As always with all the pieces I upload, it’s a work in progress - especially so with this one. I have a feeling I’m going to return to it many times in the future. Like all my other videos, I’ve blended the audio file I recorded at the same time with the live audio picked up by my iPhone - it sounds clearer, and you don’t get so many of the London emergency services sirens. Although there is one right after I finish

ABRSM Grade 3 RESULTS | Piano Progress

6 months ago

My Grade 3 marks and comments: - BURGMULLER: INNOCENCE (29/30): This was played with a well chosen tempo and flow was positive, with effective contrast and excellent control. One phrase could have had slightly more musical shaping at the end but it was an assured performance. - ELGAR: SALUT D'AMOUR (29/30): A good pace was established at the start and shaping was expressive here, with clear and convincing projection of melodic lines. Rooms for a touch more flexibility and even more colours but it was a very musical and secure performance. - SARAH WATTS: SCARY STUFF (29/30): The character of this piece was captured from the start and rhythmic design was strong and convincing. Notes were also securely in place here, with good contrast. Room for a touch more variety of colours but it was a convincing account. - SCALES & ARPEGGIOS (21/21): Scales were played with a good pace. They have a positive shaping and notes were securely in place. Arpeggios likewise. - SIGHT-READING (19/21): Key and time were identified and there was a maintained flow. Only isolated blemishes before the end, and it could have had a little more shaping, but it was securely conveyed. - AURAL TESTS (17/18): All tests were correct, with only very small inconsistencies in echos. Secure responses. Total mark: 144/150 Subscribe for more videos in the future, and let me know how you are getting on with your exams in the comments! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zipoli - Preludio | Piano Progress Week 54

6 months ago

I found this in an old ABRSM Grade 4 book from 2007! I seem to enjoy pieces in B minor too. This is the first movement from Zipoli's Suite in B minor (Op. 1, No. 17). This piece is the longest I have played so far, and that's without doing any of the repeats... Again, I'm finding ornaments really tricky, and I am working on them with my teacher - at the moment, I am attempting to play exactly what is written on the page for them. Enjoy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPE Bach - Andante | Piano Progress Week 53

6 months ago

It's great to be getting started with Grade 4 material. For me, it's a big step up from Grade 3 - I'm particularly noticing the frequency of multiple voices played in one hand (although not so much in this particular piece) and the challenge of bringing one out over the over. There also seems to be pieces with much more emotional weight than previous Grades; like this delicate, reflective and quite sad piece by C.P.E. Bach (J.S's son!). It seems this piece is an arrangement by Lang Lang (or someone who works for him?) of a section of the Cantabile movement of CPE Bach's Sonata in B minor (Wq. 55/3, H.245), which in turn has been picked up by the exam board for this year's Grade 4 Syllabus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
