Thank you

But thank you, also on behalf of Paolo. In the end, ours is a belief; it is not my intention to make us seem arrogant, but in today's world where young people only know music as a boom boom, we want to show that there is something else, and let me take this liberty: there is better. Another intention is to disseminate knowledge of an instrument that those directly interested in it know so little about; I am obviously referring to pianists. Before knowing Paolo, I also didn't know much about the piano, even though many times, out of curiosity, I found myself opening the action and observing it with a logical eye, but as we know, much knowledge is the result of study and much experience; which is why Paolo enlightened me with his. We are happy that you like our work, and sometimes I have been upset when I observe that on YouTube some people (fortunately very few) give a thumbs down to one of our works. I truly don't know what they expect from a service that, besides being online, is also free... Some comment on our videos as if what they were looking for were lessons on tuning and piano restoration. Due to the online nature, as I have said in numerous other posts, this is totally impossible. In the work to be performed on a piano, whether it be tuning, repairing the action, or restoration, one experiences sensations that serve as a guide—for example, the speed of the beats of thirds, fourths, and fifths, the grip of the pins felt with the tuning hammer, etc., etc. How is it possible to express sensations through a video? Should we perhaps take a torque wrench and cite the torque interval within which a pin holds the strings well on the plate? This is not our intent; our intent is to instill knowledge and try to make an impression on those who have never hypothesized that there could be so much to observe and study in an instrument and in music; we therefore want to arouse interest to attract, in our own small way, people toward true art. Therefore, sometimes I believe that our limitation in creating video tutorials is a virtual kind of limitation, meaning we try to express everything we can using today's best technologies, but on the other hand, these people are limited because they are the first to not understand the limitation that the web has within its countless possibilities... Excuse my outburst.

Greetings to all...

As Simone well says, one can only offer "aperitifs." Prolonged dialogue also offers a certain depth. In any field, moreover, every experience is unique and telling it provides enrichment to everyone. So, let the exchange and discussion come, and from this, topics for discussion will arise. This applies to Music, and to Art in general.

I would like, as already announced, to start some Tutorials on piano technique. They will be released in mid-November.

I would like to anticipate that I am yet another person who wants to have "their say" on the subject.

After "oceans" of ink on the theme, I will only try to express some of my own convictions with a new perspective. Let's hope it can be useful.

I confess that, listening to the Great Masters, I think only they can tell others something. I was watching a Grigory Sokolov concert on Sky. Impressive!!!! Impressive is his Finale of Prokofiev's seventh sonata. Perhaps only such a great artist can speak of Pianism..... many others...... everyone shut up!!!!! What do you think?

So I will take the risk and, if it is useful to you, "please have some affection for those who made them and... and also a little for those who edited them" if instead "we had managed to bore you....", usurping the illustrious phrase to the very end.... "believe that it wasn't done on purpose"

I am joining in too: thank you! Other words would be superfluous: a thousand thanks again!

I will also never stop thanking Paolo and Simone for enriching my knowledge of the piano. If I think that, a few months ago I didn't know a thing ...

You have made me truly happy!! 🙂 :) 🙂 :)

Best regards

Lorenzo

I also join in, 1000 thanks to Mr. Paolo and Simone for these splendid and extremely useful lessons! 🙂

Today, December 7th, I watched the 1st tutorial on piano technique; I was truly struck by Paolo's great professionalism (as always) in explaining things in a simple and direct way like a true teacher.

I will patiently await the arrival of the 2nd tutorial; I take this opportunity to also thank Simone for giving us a practical demonstration of "piano technique" with this enjoyable "Liebestraum" by Liszt.

Thank you! Giovanni

Thank you for the compliments. Please be patient with the first videos which, in my opinion, must deal with preparatory and general topics. In the second one, I dealt with our muscular system with the help of our precious friend and anatomy scholar Giulia Greco, whom we thank.

I also join in the compliments... video tutorials that are truly well made. Simple and clear, through which one can truly see the love and enthusiasm for music and the instrument.
