Here is my complete tutorial on how to learn, practice, and play Chopin’s Etude Op. 25 No. 2 in F minor (The Bees).
In this tutorial, I break down each section with separate hands and both hands, explaining pedaling, phrasing, timing, specific exercises, and more.
Good luck!

this is such a good tutorial even on the first 5 minutes it started to sound alot better and smoother than yesterday
I sent my email but I didn't receive the sheet music.
Thank you sincerely ❤
Hi I just found your channel and it’s amazing how you breakdown the pieces to manageable a level. Do you have tutorial on Prokofiev’s toccata in D minor by chance?
Watching this tutorial was like a trasure trove. You understand the level of the tutorial already from the opening distinction of the different types of wrist motion, this is stuff you find nowhere else, and it is a game changer! I found the level of direction on all aspects of execution precious and inspiring. Many thanks for this work!
What sì different in categorie A, B, C….E. How do you rank them?
26:48 almost
But which one (édition), is with the best, more advisable fingerings???? 😮
Thank you for the outstanding master class! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Bravo💐
Great material! Thank you very much! 🙏
Thanks 😃
This whole tutorial is perfect. Also please tell me how you record when you’re playing
This tutorial is amazing, the production, the content .. thank u
Thank you very much! Ich will learn a lot from your videos❤I am only amateur but do my best😊
You certainly couldn't have put all of the essential details more profoundly and helpfully!
A great treasure!
It would mean the world if such guidance from you could be here to see on Chopin's waltzes and Mazurkas as well.
Most specially the Waltz in C# minor, op.64 no.2
My teacher will kill me if i move the wrist like you do . Ive been struggeling try the wrist without motions
I have never seen a tutorial with this level of quality! This tickles my brain the exact same way as one of those ASMR cooking videos.
Very good tutorial!😊❤🎉
Excellent tutorial! Is the Ossia at the end really by Chopin (never heard it before on a recording)?
I mostly agree on everything but the part from the left hand. Chopin is extremely well known for his constant singing in his music. Therefore, the right hand is not the one singing, it’s a whisper in the background for the left one. Makes more sense to me that the first note is the bass and the second note in each group of three is the singing note. Probably I’m wrong
Interesting description by Schumann as charming, dreamy, and soft, in contrast to its "Bees" nickname. As you play it at speeds above 100, it also ceases to be p. To achieve this tempo, you need your piano action well regulated. I even sold my Yamaha S6 SH, which had a silent system that couldn't be regulated precisely, and got a purely acoustic Bösendorfer to play it. Yet, after many years, I still find it challenging!
This is the most intelligent, concise, useful, and well presented tutorial I've ever seen. I shared this on Twitter. Bravo.
Totally incorrect interpretation of the rhythm and meter, considering the fact that Chopin clearly indicates a duple meter. The RH needs to be maintained as triplets as opposed to feeling a 6/8 feel from the LH triplets. The LH is the cross rhythm and should not be felt as the beat, which is what makes this etude much more difficult than it seems. It is not two notes in the RH against one note in the LH. It is the 1+2+ feel of the triplets in the RH against the cross rhythm in the left. Please stop teaching this etude incorrectly!
Bu video hayatımı kurtardi, teşekkür ederim, çoook iyi❤
What a beautiful tutorial this is… although i am just a beginner… hearing and then actually seeing the advices and motion unfold has unlocked a new a way of thinking for especially with the left hand dynamics
I hope you can make a tutorial video of Grande Valse Brillante – your videos are awesome! I love Chopin!
😊
