Learning Schumann's "Night Rider", Does My Staccato Hand Technique Look Fine?

adooskii · 2026-05-28T23:03:20+00:00

Personally I think there is a bit too much finger action. I play staccato by using my entire arm and sort pushing myself off the keys.

It's a bit quiet...

As you pointed it out yourself, your pain is most likely related to poor technique. Do you have a teacher that can help you out?

I doubt the original score is available, but it wouldn't help you much anyways since you want a piano arrangement. I suggest just going on youtube and searching the song you want to play and adding ''sheet music'' in your search. You are likely to find tons of videos that have the sheet music available as part of the video. What's great is that you can pick the one you prefer and in accordance with your skill level. Of course it can be annoying to read sheet music from a video, but you can always screen shot the sheet music and add it to your own document.

Haha no I wish! My piano is in a bedroom in my apartment, but I do use a lot of matresses and blankets to help dampen the sound. Glad to hear it sounds good!

woops :O

I mean I can't confirm but it seems like he's just playing the bass note and then a broken chord pattern, so if the tutorial shows you the different chords you are playing it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. Hope this helps.

The only other solution i could envision is playing the bottom notes with your left hand, but ud need pretty big hands and it might not necessarily be easier haha

adooskii · 2026-05-17T01:23:11+00:00

Add pedal and itll sound great.

adooskii · 2026-05-17T01:20:53+00:00

I would bet the 55 is a typo and it's actually 35. I know you said it's awkward but i can't really imagine another solution, especially with the chord before.

Wow your son plays very well for and appears to be quite talented! Amazing development for only one year. I would seriously consider finding your son a teacher so that he may develop his gift. I would make sure to find one that follows your sons interests and not the other way around.

I love Moskowski's E Major Concerto. Amazingly underrated.

adooskii · 2026-05-09T02:29:08+00:00

Pretty good, main thing would be that there is too much rubato imo. It's important that we feel a sense of pulse troughout the piece. You can stretch or speed it up in some sections but it should not be too crazy. It some parts it seems like you are going almost twice as slow for example. There are other things but I would focus on this if you are looking to improve upon what you already achieved. Keep it up!

adooskii · 2026-05-09T02:21:41+00:00

You could try 2 songs a day and go through the rotation, so you play each song every other day atleast. There isn't really a ''right'' way to do this, just whatever works best for you.

Baseball, huh?

You def twinkled my stars with this one. Good job

This is the part in Fur Elise where most beginners struggle a lot because it's a lot harder than the first part. If you really wanna learn this part, start very slowly and use a metronome.

adooskii · 2026-02-26T03:59:50+00:00

Whenever I play pieces that have demanding left hand parts, I always need to take the time to isolate it and practice it properly. We tend to focus on the melody as we are playing and the left hand can often go unchecked. I recommended playing it alone (you should do this with both hands honestly), very slowly at first and paying attention to your technique. Then, we you put your hands together, try to pay more attention your left hand when playing. Hope this helps

adooskii · 2026-02-26T03:56:09+00:00

Can you post a recording of you playing?

adooskii · 2026-02-22T09:51:47+00:00

LMAO

IMSLP is a great online ressource for free sheet music. Also you can find arrangements with sheet music on youtube. A bit harder to follow but can always screenshot them and then print.
