  • Here is an in-depth piano tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Fantaisie-Impromptu Op.66 in C Sharp Minor by Frédéric Chopin.
    In this video, I share my knowledge on how to perform this piece effectively in a story-telling way.
    I am showing how to practice with hands separately, which is the key to learning it quickly and stably.
    I also explain how to practice the polyrhythm (3 vs. 4) between the right and the left hand, which can be challenging, especially at the beginning stage. After that, we will work on pedaling, timing, rubato, and finally, I will put everything together.
    Hopefully, it will help you to get results quickly.
    Good luck!

    I cant believe I only just now found this channel. I played piano as a teenager for about 3 years and was so passionate about it. I was beginning to play Chopin around this time. Once I started college, I never really played again. There were times I wanted to, but it felt like such a monumental (and intimidating) task to get back to where I was, so I just never bothered. Plus life gets busy as an adult. Now in my 40s, I want to try. I have forgotten pretty much everything I used to play, but Chopin and Schubert were my favorites. I used to listen to them on my cd player (remember those? Lol) all day and dream of playing like the masters of the craft. The way you break down each measure makes it feel a lot less intimidating. Thank you. I will be watching this channel closely and giving this piece a try. Slowly of course lol.

    I nearly cried after watching your video.
    I tried to learn this piece for years when I was 14 and could only play the easier middle part but could never figure out how to get the left and right hand to play succinctly for the beginning and end parts. I'm nearly 40 now and used your technique starting at 6:28 to separate those beats out and repeat them and I was actually able to play through the first page of the song after practicing for the day, it blew my mind. My god, it was a revelation, that was my missing link after all these years.
    Just wanted to thank you for making this tutorial video. I can't believe I'll actually be able to learn this entire piece, now.

    BRAVOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! MEISTRO... Bless you for this masterful explanation. And i don't even play piano, but i adore this piece. I am certain that i could nver play this piece if i practiced for the rest of my life. But your explanation, allows me to dream that one day i could . I have gotten to the point that i rarely listen to anything but Chopin. I am convinced that no composer in the history of music is in his league. The amount of beauty in everything he wrote to me surpasses the Heiden's and Brookners of the world. SO often I hear symphonys on the radio in my car thinking at times there is nothing to hear though i know music is playing. But with Chopin you are taken on a journey where you are held captive to sounds which are irresistible to deny a melody which moves your sould from the start to the finish without a moment not carried by further anticipation. How could one know that who has no idea where middle C is? Well that is the same answer given by an accountant who is overwhelmed by a Van Gogh he's standing in front of intoxicated by colors has never seen, yet incapable of naming the colors on a wheel. The secret to artistic appreciation of brilliance is the complete lack of preparation of such a member of an audience, in order to love something one has no concept of. That of course is part of the magic I am mesmerized by. Thank you again for the video.. sorry for the long post

    Thank you for such an interesting and informative tutorial. I returned to piano lessons during Covid lockdown at age 58 after a 40 year break, and now in my 60's I am enjoying lessons more than ever, despite a lot of stiffness in my fingers. Fantasie Impromptu may be beyond my physical capability (I am just about coping with Debussy's two Arabesques), but I might try to attempt learning it now. Your explanation and demonstration of the polyrhythm is wonderful. I have never achieved playing three against four, but I feel it might be possible now.

    My piano teacher keeps judging my fantasie impromptu by calling it muddy, bad, rusty, and more. But this video really changed my playing. My piano teacher was really surprised. Thank you so much for making this video for everyone, it helped so many people out there.

      Did your teacher tried to give you some kind of an input what to adjust? I find it disappointing to have a teacher yet to improve your performing via YT explanation...
