Chopin Opus 28 no.4 in Em.
2

2

00:00:03,082  -->  00:00:07,570
You may remember, Jack Nicholson played
this in the film Five Easy Pieces.
3

3

00:00:09,060  -->  00:00:10,960
A good thing about the piece is it's so
slow.
4

4

00:00:10,960  -->  00:00:13,559
You've plenty of time to look ahead and
5

5

00:00:13,559  -->  00:00:16,481
work out the next movement
in the left hand.
6

6

00:00:16,481  -->  00:00:18,201
So, it's easier than it looks.
7

7

00:00:18,201  -->  00:00:21,781
Second half isn't quite so easy, so
stick to the first half for now.
8

8

00:00:21,781  -->  00:00:23,041
Just keep practicing.
9

9

00:00:23,041  -->  00:00:28,906
So the left hand won't
10

10

00:00:28,906  -->  00:00:33,231
move that much.
11

11

00:00:33,231  -->  00:00:35,533
So there's the first chord, second,
third, fourth, fifth, and so on.
12

12

00:00:35,533  -->  00:00:38,420
It's kind of moving chord tones at a time.
13

13

00:00:38,420  -->  00:00:43,150
And with the pedal, make sure you
change with each chord change,
14

14

00:00:43,150  -->  00:00:48,350
rather than each bar, because sometimes
it may change three times in one bar.
15

15

00:00:48,350  -->  00:00:51,546
And if you pedal,
the whole bar might get too muddy.
16

16

00:00:51,546  -->  00:00:54,876
So do it expressively, but
steadily for now, okay?
17

17

00:00:54,876  -->  00:00:56,496
Don't worry about, just stick with
18

18

00:00:56,496  -->  00:01:06,496
[MUSIC]
19

19

00:01:10,436  -->  00:01:12,856
You can add some more
expression in later on.
20

20

00:01:12,856  -->  00:01:14,876
So, find your first
chord in the left hand.
21

[MUSIC]
22

22

00:01:16,907  -->  00:01:21,302
And notice that the left hand's going to
play the first melody note in the first
23

23

00:01:21,302  -->  00:01:23,107
bar because it's in the chord.

25

25

00:01:24,987  -->  00:01:25,887
Okay?

00:02:24,906  -->  00:02:25,406
And so on.
