Hi there my name is igor from smart
classical piano dot-com
alright so we're going to be looking the
second thing from Swan Lake by
Tchaikovsky we have a first-team
available on our channel as well so you
can have a look at that if you'd like
but for now here is the second theme
there it is alright so there's going to
be two versions i'm going to present to
you guys the first four bars that's what
I'm gonna be covering and in those four
bars there is one bar which i can
simplify without compromising the the
piece itself too much for those of you
who find the acrobatics here a little
bit excessive
so in the very first part of this piece
you're going to have a lot of this
motion this movement across the thumb
which isn't necessarily very easy to do
right so these first four bars you can
find on youtube and if you'd like to
finish the rest of the piece visit our
website smart classical piano dot-com
start for trying to finish it there
don't forget subscribe comments all that
kind of stuff and yeah let me get to the
business here
best action ok this is as it is on paper
so i'm reading this right now and this
is the version as I just plated notice
how many times my hand over
pretty much every single
swell
I have to move across the thumb now
that's not necessarily the difficult
part though
the difficulty comes in jumping from the
top not here to the bottom note down
here
the one you want to fall too heavily on
it right so that's the tricky bit thing
in tempo while also maintaining a nice
volume without any anything that sticks
out like an accent
ok here's the fingering if you have
already picked up 51
two
next an F everything into top stays the
same
next e.e
21 / 3
2next exactly the same but once the
blower Andy 251
over three
so so take your time to learn the notes
very carefully and come back for the
rhythm of this thing here it is when
it's all stitched together slowly
that's what it's like when you're
counting it these are all eighth notes
and you have a bit of a rest after some
of these as you might have already
noticed we have one two and three and
four and one and two
three four and one two three
war and so again this is the slightly
more difficult version now for those of
you would like to try the simplified
version i would suggest just for the
first two of these swells instead of
playing this be up here let's move down
here instead of doing this
do this
well we don't have any movement across
the thumb second one the same way
321 after that it's business as usual
no changes here
feel like if you change this you could
compromise the music too much
this is also the same
so make a choice find which one works
better for you right
the the initial version more difficult
version sounds a touch better but this
simpler version isn't too far off either
ok let's have a look at the right hand
see sort of here
1 2 3 4 lift 34 or 35 so this is kind of
like a roll
what about now what's important here is
when you get to the role the top note
coincides with the bottom with the left
hand right so let's have a look what
happens when you put it together this
section
so these tunes come together it's pretty
important
there you have it and essentially are
dealing with a quarter notes for the
most part here in the right-handed so
I'm gonna count it again but i'll have
both of the hands playing so you can see
exactly the way that the notes are
arranged
we haven't gotten there quite yet
also you've already heard this piece of
thousand times i'm sure throughout your
life so your ears gonna help you out
now once you get to this point five up
top
so that's 43 next lift 34 another role
34 on 35 think that 43 next same idea 34
are another role 1253 425 next 41
that ok so one more time go ahead and do
this right hand with the counting only
the rate
one two and three and four two and three
four and two and three and four and two
so take your time learn the right-hand
pretty much to atty make sure that it's
done you want to think too much about it
they use a second nature and then you
can start putting it together now at
this point right
this is a bar that we haven't touched on
in the left hand at all so right now we
have this with both hands
this is all familiar
this is where we stopped to the left
hand this is what happens in the left
so we have is 5321
lift 531
two
take a moment to learn that and then we
put it together we get this together
and then together right together
you have it
then once you finish that it's just a
repetition of the beginning but then
something changes towards the end
ok so that more or less covers it
pedaling you're going to want to change
the pedal every time the bottom of the
left hand changes so here's the bottom
one medical
change here
change your basically changing with
every harmony and change here change
here
change change the last two chords each
other need their own peril
there you have it if you have any
