Sign-Up: Improve your Chopin Etudes with Henry Kramer!

Unlocking A deeper Understanding of Chopin's Music!

Together we will work on four etudes which can transform your approach to Chopin’s music as well as expand your concept of piano playing! In the first Etude from Op. 10 I will give exercises for tackling the right hand arpeggios, which will develop your ability to hear sonorities build upon one another across the entire keyboard. Through a discussion of Chopin’s use of the pedal and exploitation of the piano’s natural overtones, you will learn to pace yourself through this famously difficult work and achieve unity of sound within one harmony.

I will then focus on the Second Etude of Op. 25 where the lens will zoom in on Chopin’s use of polyrhythm and how this is integral to the fundamental “problem” of this Etude.

The discussion of the third Etude of Op. 25 will talk about the use of the thumb versus fingers 2-5 and how to achieve lightness and speed in this charming work.

Finally, we will revisit my lesson on Op. 10 No. 2 and dive even deeper into the secrets to being able to play this famously difficult work!

      Oui, j’ai l’impression qu’on peut bien travailler le #1 sans prof, parce que Dominic nous a si bien expliquĂ© comment l’aborder!  Je t' enverrai une petite vidĂ©o la semaine prochaine.  Bon travail!  J’attends t'Ă©couter jouer le #3!

    Will the course have multiple sessions between Sep 19-30, or is it going to be one session on the 20th or how is it like?

    • Khaled Henry will share several assignment videos, which the participants will work through and share their own videos in a separate forum. These videos will then be commented on by Henry. In addition to the live stream, there will be a Zoom Q&A session exclusive for the course participants, but the date is still TBA.
