Hi there! My name is Igor from smartclassicalpiano.com and today we're gonna be looking at some
more Tchaikovsky! Today's piece is the Polka from his album for the young children's
album many of those little pieces are on the channel, have a look at all of them
beautiful works you can watch this first part here on youtube and headover to
our channel to our website actually to start your free trial and finish the
piece smartclassicalpiano.com you know Tchaikovsky was rather capricious when
when he got to his own work he would like his work and then in a couple years he
would hate that very same piece in fact one of his most famous pieces is
appeased openly criticized was rather harsh about he didn't like it at all if
you know the answer that question which piece that was read it below the answer
might surprise you
all right let's see how this little polka sounds like, shall we?
base section and B section a section and so on but let's have a look at this
first part let's try and work out how exactly to pay to play this piece I left
them first
bouncy very cute and also the rhythm is simple it is quite nice you don't have
to use a lot of mental energy or acrobatics to figure out or understand
the rhythm and how the how the hands work together it's pretty much almost
all strayed eighths
area where it's not is here
court for twice as long as any of the previous notes and then continues in the
same way
exaggerating the link but for twice as long as the previous notes and then in
the end is a little bit longer as well but that's it
in terms of rhythm so there should be a straightforward now fingering the Caddo
and broken up right away do not do that first learned it as cord so this
are ready to go to see you have to break it up and then your fourth is ready to
go so now the right hand the right-hand so now it seems obvious to me that the
most difficult part of this is the little note made to get it you know the
right sort of quality thus the right kind of shine and shimmer that you want
for it to have a lot of character so what you want to do is make sure that
you're comfortable with the notes first before you start handling the Gracenote
so we'll learn without the Gracenote first
I think Iran for because my head is big enough and I'm more comfortable hitting
a black dude with the fourth rather than the fifth finger and that's it
whenever peter that now too when you finish learning disabled section you
gotta add to grace know I've talked about this before so let's go over
really quickly than that of learning Gracenote one by one as possible learn
it together first them together and lift the grace no one stays but this one is
up the place simultaneously but one of them lift after the plane
and really it sounds like a perfectly normal Gracenote after you learn it with
that you can start to spread the Gracenote out a little bit more if you
so desire to play around with the spacing between aggressive the main note
I know it's always going to be between three and two in terms of accounting
accounting because of the left hand should be pretty straight forward
together this is gonna be is going to be in between
and then so the thumb in between those and if we bring this up and by way of
speech if we counted probably the easiest way to count is going to be one
E and to tender so that you have a placement for something like this
if you have that counting ready to go in if you feel comfortable with the notes
and the Gracenote this piece is done OK leave any comments or concerns whatever
