Can I put in a request for a lesson on Prokofiev Sonata no. 2 and the Scherzo in particular? I started to practice the Scherzo but it’s a lot harder than it looks!!…

Re: Yulianna Avdeeva YouTube Feature! Awesome. Can’t wait for the lessons. I went to hear Yulianna last February play Liszt and Beethoven live and it was fantastic. I met her afterwards too and she was so kind and gracious.

Re: Group 3 @Vidhya Bashyam Great job. I think the Mazurkas are harder to sing due to the chromatic lines and unusual rhythms.

Re: Group 3 @Gail Starr That’s great. We can be Mazurka buddies! I found Jarred’s tutorial on Mazurka no4 really useful. I don’t think I’ve tried no.2

Re: “Who are pianists that you think more people should know about?” Briggite Engerer sadly no longer with us is one of my favourite pianists. I always listen to her recordings of Chopin Nocturnes first before learning to play any of them. https://www.youtube.…

Re: DOW: What's the most memorable feedback you've received about your playing? A long time ago at music college one of the required piano courses was a jazz course. It was totally new to me as I’d never attempted jazz or even improvised before.…

Re: Can we have a tutorial on Rachmaninoff Prelude Op 23 No 4 in D major? I just found out today that Boris Giltburg is coming to my local concert hall in February to play the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No2. I’m definitely going to get a ticket!!

Re: What advice would you give your beginner-self? I would tell myself to memorise everything I possibly could as it’s my one big regret that I wasn’t taught or encouraged to do it from an early age. It gets harder and harder as you get older!

Re: “Who are pianists that you think more people should know about?” Yulianna Avdeeva is my favourite pianist. Everything she plays is superb and her Bach project got me through lockdown. https://youtu.be/TIa5MlCTITQ

I can’t find any good tutorials on this piece. I’ve started playing it but would like to know if I am approaching it in the correct way. Boris Giltburg recently posted a performance on his Instagram…
