Felix Mendelssohn wrote songs for piano: Lieder Ohne Worte = Songs Without Words. The very first one of all the volumes (Op. 19 no. 1) is a perfect piece for practicing sound balance in the right hand, and the music is just fabulous.

You need this kind of sound balance/hand weight for playing these works

- Beethoven Moonlight Sonata mvt I

- Schubert Impromptu no. 3 in Gb major

- Chopin Funeral March

- Debussy Claire de lune (fast section)

- Ravel Pavane for a dead princess

...and countless more pieces.

So I can recommend this piece as a study to lay proper technique ground work within real and great musical context!

The High-Flying "Feather Theme" from Forrest Gump 13:03

6天之前13:03

13:03

The opening music of the film Forrest Gump (1994) is a lovely piano tune in almost total syncopation and with graceful lightness. In this video we look closer at the musical material. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/NFtNL85r0Fc

Rachmaninoff-Kreisler Liebesleid arrangement: Crunchy Chromatics 27:53

27:53

Rachmaninoff took Kreisler's beloved Liebesleid for violin and turned it into a virtuosic piano showpiece full of crunchy chromaticism and awkward chords :) With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.Video: https://youtu.be/EAKBxLgu560

Yann Tiersen's "La Valse d'Amélie" 12:42

We look closer at Yann Tiersen's (first) waltz for Amélie to see how he crafts four rounds of beautiful piano textures based on the same chords. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/-jQSSoEygBE

"Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi" (from Amélie) 9:28

27天之前9:28

9:28

Yann Tiersen wrote one of the most memorable pianistic scores for the French film "Amélie" in 2001. Using only simple means of carefully crafted melodic ideas over repeated textures makes this Comptine a modern, minimalist classic. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/M41GA-rxkHQ

The Sugar Plum Fairy is sneaking around in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker with the help of celeste bells and staccato chords, but it all works fine to play on a piano too after the composer's own arrangement. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Video: https://youtu.be/X-J7eP-RLMM

Scriabin's Fierce Etude in D# minor Op. 8 no. 12 21:12

大约1年之前21:12

21:12

Revered as one of the most powerful and difficult etudes of the romantic repertoire, Scriabin's in D-sharp minor is impressively cohesive, with every phrase leading seamlessly over to the next over vast arpeggios, bass pedal points and poignant harmonic moves. Analysis with pianist Henrik Kilhamn. (Apologies for the audio quality - somehow my external audio setup didn't record the analysis part so I had to use audio from the keyboard camera which isn't as good and harder to mix with its autolevels.)

Debussy's Mysterious "Footsteps in the Snow" (Prelude no. 6 from book 1) 17:33

大约1年之前17:33

17:33

No. 6 is Debussy's first book of Preludes is called "Des pas sur la neige" or "Footsteps in the Snow", and paints a poetic picture with repeating rhythms and colorful chords, all the time while looking for a way forward. It's hard to put this type of evocative art into exact words, but we can nevertheless look closer at the musical material to see a bit more of what's going on. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

Elgar's Love Greeting: Salut d'Amour 22:02

大约1年之前22:02

22:02

Edward Elgar wrote his famous "Salut d'Amour" as an engagement present to his fiancée Alice Caroline Robert. The original conception of the music was probably for violin and piano, but that didn't stop Elgar from writing a version for piano solo: a beautiful song without words and a great encore.

Scriabin's Ecstatic Sonata No. 5 35:44

大约1年之前35:44

35:44

This is one of the most interesting piano sonatas of the early 20th century. Scriabin pushes the boundaries both in musical expression, harmonic coherence and structural integration in this amazing work, so full of life and creative spirit. It's also nice to be able to do a substantial analysis play-through when I have the music in my hands, since I've just recorded it for my upcoming solo album Scriabiniana!

Schumann Melodie (from Album for the Young) 6:26

This is a great piece for beginners who have started to play separately with the hands. Robert Schumann wrote the whole "Album for the Young" Op. 68 for his three daughters to learn piano properly, and still to this day it's a great educational resource for getting started with a romantic conception of piano playing. Henrik Kilhamn takes you through the short piece in this video. Update dec 2024: Sorry for lagging behind in podcast uploads; I'm catching up with a few episodes already published on youtube.

Chopin's Heartfelt Prelude no. 6 in B minor 12:59

大约1年之前12:59

12:59

This poignant prelude from Chopin's set of Op. 28 is one page and about 2,5 minutes long. That's almost the length of a modern pop song, but it still contains more interesting musical ideas than most in that genre. It's a great piece for intermediate players, and here I give some playing tips before going through the piece again to inspect those ideas further. Pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

Can this Funeral March match Chopin's?! 21:31

大约1年之前21:31

21:31

Henrik Kilhamn presents this lesser known Funeral March from a romantic piano sonata, by a composer who admired Chopin but went on to write his own name in music history as well. His first sonata, Op. 6, ends with this very solemn but gripping statement after major struggles of previous movements, marking it a tragedy of great proportion. Can you guess the composer?
