confidence Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 That looks like a nightmare a concert pianist would have before a big recital. It's funny you should say that. I actually once had an anxiety dream before a big gig where I walked on stage and sat down at the piano, only to discover that all the keys were reversed in pitch - from the lowest at the far right up to the highest at the far left. I never got to find out what it would sound like trying to play it as I woke up as soon as the horror struck me that the gig was about to start. Probably just as well.

cjfox Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm curious about the strange transition behind the divider, where office girl transforms into concert pianist and back. The original producers of the video must have some message in there relating to the piano.

stillearning Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Finally a piano for classical nerds who don't think Hanon should be played in 12 keys. I do the Hanons in all 7 scales.

Joe Muscara Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm curious about the strange transition behind the divider, where office girl transforms into concert pianist and back. The original producers of the video must have some message in there relating to the piano. " Now any office girl in smock can become concert pianist by removal of pesky black keys" I thought exactly the same thing. That looks like a nightmare a concert pianist would have before a big recital. Or any player. Even the start of the video is like a dream/nightmare where she's wearing the smock, walks behind the wall and is dressed up. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Docbop Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I get the same effect at home part of my practicing scales I put on one of sleep masks and practice or at night turn down the lights. That way I can work on spacial awareness and "seeing" the keyboard in my head to know where I'm at. So who needs an all white keyed piano that cost $$$$$ when I can just turn out the lights. I got into this as a guitar player and Joe Diorio this was one of his things he suggested to do. When you don't see the instrument you focus more on how you finger the notes to control the sound you're creating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Now any office girl in smock can become concert pianist by removal of pesky black keys" I thought exactly the same thing. I'd like to know what they're trying to say with this video. There must be some linguistic or cultural clue in there that perhaps only a native Japanese person would catch. Anybody?
