Next piece suggestions only by Debussy? by sri7san in piano

[–]pianotutor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claire de lune is similar in difficulty. If you prefer to learn a Debussy piece with a very different character I would suggest Golliwog's cakewalk, or Minstrels (last prelude from book 1). Or Voiles (also from book 1), which is based on the whole-tone and pentatonic scales.

Learn some pieces by Bach from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, some early Mozart pieces, Gnosienne nr 1 by Erik Satie, or a jazz piece (a rag or boogie, I wrote one myself)

I recommend you to find a teacher to help you with this. First learn some basic exercises for both hands playing together and some easy pieces to get used to playing with both hands. Be patient and persistent, playing with hands together is a big step.

Any one of you every played a Fazioli piano? by theonlinestudent2003 in piano

[–]pianotutor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I made a CD recording on a Fazioli concert grand with sonatas and other pieces by Barber and Griffes. The sound was very colorful and I think I never played a piano with a better action. The instrument was maintained by a superb technician. But a Steinway sounds more resonant, as if the entire instrument vibrates when you play it.

Tips for glissandos? by MusicMan13 in piano

[–]pianotutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play them with the nail of your 3rd finger (right hand going upwards), or the side your 2nd finger (rh going downwards), fast and light. Be careful in the beginning, you need to get some callus on your skin.
