I love that you're playing Chopin and Bach. Great explorers of keyboard harmonic introcracies long before there was "Jazz" as we know it. They found some incredibly swinging lines that listening audiences "got" before it was hip to use the term "swing". Oscar Peterson is such a great example of how classical technique can be useful in Jazz.
yeaaaah! also Beethoven, in some small parts of sonatas like the 26 or the 31, twist the harmony, from a diminished chord, in such a way that it sounds like jazz!
Thanks, Tony! I particularly enjoyed that last riff because I used to play that one, in Fantasie Impromptu! Oh how I wish Bach and Chopin and many others like 'em would be here today to poke around the jazz world. I have a feeling they'd love it, and we'd love what they did with jazz now that it's both allowed and encouraged. Appreciate ya, man!
12:32 "and what scale is that?" just golden stuff coming up here from Tony "this just shows that scales are useful up unto a certain point" "at a higher level melody has to take over" "really maybe melody is the primary thing the scales are kind of like a secondary thing" "and that's why we struggle with jazz is because we think about scales more than melody" "so this is a great little melody here" "so let's use it in blue bossa" just golden teaching Tony , thank You so very much.
Awesome Tony. So many gems in classical music. Trained many years in classical music. Looking at it another way , I wish I had had the the knowledge of jazz theory I have today back then. Would have made learning those runs ( or riffs ) a lot easier. Back in the day , the first Ballade of Fred C was one of my major test pieces. Brought back some tense memories ! Thanks again.
Hey, I used to play this Chopin Ballad - it never occurred to me back then that you could squeeze some jazz juice from it. Thanks Tony!
Nice tutorial. I especially enjoyed your ability at transposition.
Really dig this approach to classical music. There are a lot of gems from classical music that go overlooked by most Jazz musicians.
Hi Tony. Loving your videos mate!
Fun Fact: Beethoven used that last riff from Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu in the closing stages of the 3rd Movement of Moonlight Sonata!
My first and last guitar teacher got parkinsons who taught Chuck Waynes approach always liked jazzified classical tunes. Gotta put some on my playlist its been a while. He gave enough material to practice a lifetime but would have liked to have continued studying with him. There are some cool videos on YT: George Shearing Quintet 1950 "Conception" Denzil Best, Don Elliott, Chuck Wayne, & John Levy
Love your videos!! Thanks I learn so much. 🧠
That little bit about the 7 chord relation to the diminished scale was very helpful.
Wow, You play that classical music so beautifully. Like so much music it sounds much better "live" than recorded. Could you do a 5 minute video on "Candyman"? I can play "Pure Imagination" really well but I can't figure out "Candyman" for solo piano. I agree, many cross overs from classical to jazz. I like "Jeff Lynne's " mini turn round of C, Cm7b5, Fm, C, in his song "need her love". he put loads of strings on it to make it sound better but it works well on just piano I reckon. (I see you're over the 80k subscribers, could you do "Rock piano High Skool" too? Give "Rick Beato" a run for his money!! hehe.).
6:52 XD 😆
First sentence from cm etude is a great one to steal!
Many thanks for another great and very instructive lesson, Maestro Tony!
Wonderful lots to work on, thanks for turning on some more lights for me
Merci pour tous vos enseignements et très bonne année à vous.
Hola Tony,son excelentes,fantásticos tus videos.Saludos desde Argentina👍😃👍
Hah Tony LOL! 6:53 Did you once work for Dunder Mifflin? By the way what song is that?
Weekend Work… Thanks, I Needed That… 👍🏻😃
Outstanding! Thank you!
Thank you so much, fascinating stuff!!! I came across that up and down moving kind of arpeggios like in Ballad No. 1, some with different intervals (sometimes fourth, fiths) and sometimes leaps backwards from several jazz musicians, Oscar Peterson one of them.
Interesting. I've recently started to play the "Raindrop" Prelude. It's good for leaps, fingering and playing in Db.
I appreciate you Tony!
Has it got a lot of leaps in there? It's been years since I've played it....
@@diplamatikjuan3595 yes, the left hand is moving and stretching, quite fun.
@@Chipshotz Nice! It's a gorgeous piece - especially the middle section. I've got a real a soft spot for it because I performed it at my dad's funeral about 25 years ago but I haven't touched it since.
Awesome lesson Tony !
Excellent topic and and examples! Gotta say tho 😂 6:54
Chopin heroic polonaise #6, has a passage that is very jazzy right before the final reprisal!
I'll check it out!! thnx
Tony, how did you know? It just so happens I've been practicing the Fantasy Impromptu lately and did notice how jazzy some of the runs are. Also the 4 against 3 creates a nice texture that could be used to create a 'cocktail' feel. Or is that a bad word in Jazz parlance? Would you call being able to pull off that poly-rhythm hand independence? Or is it more like co-dependence? ;-)
hi tony!
Hi To y,no solo te pareces a mi si no que también tienes el Libro de Bach y Chopin en el Piano.
Love you much
Thanks, love you too!
Thanks
Tony wouldn't you call that last scale you were working on as a middle eastern scale G Ab B C D Eb F ?
Maybe, but if you start on C it's just the C minor melodic ascending
Hello , you know? Motif es can open s7a?
