How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion

It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

Really very good.  There's not much to say.  You've caught the right spirit and the touch is perfect for this etude.  maybe a bit of "slow motion" practising exaggerating all of Chopin's cresc. and dim. creating that pulsating rythm that runs throughout.  Bravo.

I enjoyed it and it has motivated me to consider learning it in the new year. You're clearly a talented pianist

this is my favorite from you so far :)  very awesome...   you are very comfortable with this one and it shows...   you have been playing this one longer than the others...it sounds far more polished... or do you just like this one better?

No real answer, I just have a lot of repertoire memorised but never performed, so once in a while i take a piece and record it. Almost to all chopin etudes i've done a transposition to a different key, that made me remember them for the end of my life :)

Another one of my favorites! Man, you pick awesome rep! Two of my favorite pieces ever! I will type a quick note for this one, I would suggest bringing out the lowest notes of the left hand in the opening theme. There is a really, really beautiful melody there. Especially at 18 seconds in your video. That left hand note is stunningly beautiful if executed correctly.

Again, I think I have to say Pollini owns this one. Sorry to be cliche ;)



Great job, you're doing very well. Keep up the great work and keep playing Chopin!! :)
