My name is Igor from smartclassical piano.com. Today we're going to be looking at
Gnossienne No.1 in F minor but Mr Erik Satiethe Parisian he's actually a lot
more famous for another piece this one is less known one that when they do that
sounds a little familiar really beautiful work and that's probably his
most famous composition and you can feel free to find that in our channel and a
website as well as we covered this tutorial as well but today we're going
to be doing the Gaussian which is a lesser known but still just as
interesting and beautiful piece of the more introspective I would say and
please do feel free to subscribe we always have new material coming out your
subscriptions matter to us
the mix as you know it shows that people do care in there it's interesting
material putting it is interesting and feel free to comment as well actually
except he is a famous also for being an eccentric is a super weird gay was
famous in Paris for that too
for example he collected umbrellas that's user very avid collector of
various umbrellas if you have any other interesting tidbits about this guy and
there are many feel free to put them in the comments below and if anybody is
playing a drinking game of how many times they say feel free I hope you join
now so here we go let's give it a go and play this piece now for you to get a
sense of what it'll be like when it's all said and done
ok so let's get started as you might have noticed the left hand is pretty
repetitive which which is an advantage early so when we start with a left hand
let's set the foundation for this piece diseases in F minor so you'll be using
sure that you understand is
cameras set up it might not be that clear that this is middle C
we have
see below middle C
that so fifth finger here
is understand
so the first chord that you play is to be too long
the next which is going to be a previously played see place
in your mind's eye on your brain together and then just bring it up
thing about this is that it's in one active range so
these jumps pretty
the first beat is empty and starts on D two with your first finger to talk about
quarter notes have notes notes I'm just gonna sort of talk in a in layman's
terms of Positano over complicate things this is indeed geared towards beginners
and amateurs we just want to learn how to play certain pieces they do really
like so fast and lift up your hand and use your second and third
so it's a little weird but this is exactly what you're going for
what I played a little different
people learn to section they do it's a correctly because they try to win the
Super quickly but in their brain and in their muscle memory it's still to
individual notes the way they approach it it can't be this way or else you'll
always be struggling to get it fast enough and you're gonna get tense in
your fingers in your wrist you don't want that what you want is to teach of
muscle memory so that's what to do first
fourth and third finger
weird right
second third
now
together the third finger
here the second finger
now is starting to resemble the melody is
thirds
third to going to be the second that come up
and then
everywhere except for the first time you play this well then
just a spacing to your heart's desire learned it as a group
you have this entire to sort of gradient of how closely spaced those two notes
are so let's move along then
second section here gonna call it a second section because there are many
changes 24
pretty straightforward you can choose what you want your whatever is
comfortable for you
so three
you can actually do it just happened
it's up to hear everything go okay so when you put it together
sort of going for it and then when you lift up the
if you use my finger which is
to second and third G
always going to be listing thirds which is convenient and pretty pretty
comfortable okay once you have this
matter of breaking up again that little the spacing just enough until you feel I
guess this is what it does is what the music costs for
there is a lot of the way to approach these little grace notes very
characterful and and and colorful so you can you can experiment and see what you
like
the first section in the next video we're going to be looking at this which
is pretty straightforward is really not much to do here so please i want to see
if you are free but I'm not gonna say that intent I'm so please do this please
have a look at this
videos that show how this progresses forward I hope you guys learn something
and let me know if I want to quickly too slowly what you like me to change or
what music you like me to do next and I'll see you guys next time
