Here's an introductory video highlighting the recent features. There seems to be a rhythm function as well so you can play along to drum beats. I don't recall this feature on the P-515, so it's probably likely to align their p series pianos to Roland's popular FP piano series which have rhythms. <div> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1kMYkoOLR04?si=Az2D8_wtT9Ra5LAN" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>Here's a longer demonstration with the main voices </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

It was composed in 1833 and then published in 1834. There are also Waltzes by the same name under Opus 34 if you want to explore more of these concert waltzes.<br />
<br />
By far the most authoritative tutorial is in French - by Pianiste Magazine on Youtube. By authoritative, I mean that the instructor is a professional pianist at a high standard (concert pianist or even a professor at a music conservatoire). Now fear not that it is in French - if you can't understand, you can click the settings and turn the captions on and get it to translate into English.<br />
This particular tutorial is run by Jean-Marc Luisada<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n8L8gFLNeyw" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Luisada describes the waltz as an encore piece that's an audience pleaser especially after a serious concert. And that's because it's delightful, energetic and beautiful. Luisada says it accompanied a Charlie Chaplin film at a fast tempo. Luisada also adds that this waltz wasn't designed to be danced at all. There are some useful technical tips in the video as well. Well worth checking out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Other - tutorials on the Vales:<br />
Piano Secrets Youtuber has a tutorial - it's mainly on getting the best fingering, analysing what the harmonies (chords) are and the variations in the themes.

The Art of Piano Technique has a 30 minute masterclass to get you started.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Match the wrist movement to the known direction of the music (basically when the direction of the music moves to the right of the keyboard, the wrist moves in that direction and vice versa)</li>
</ul>
<br />

Josh Wright's tips:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Finger staccato, then accent the top, with circular motion of the wrist/hand.</li>
<li>Down into the melodic line but bouncing or <i>hopping </i>in a staccatto fashion.</li>
<li>Dotted and different types of rhythms in groups of 3s (1-2-3) and 6s.</li>
</ul>
<br />

To get started Josh Wright shows you some hand crossings, fingerings and pedalling.<br />

<br />
Josh's key points are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Complete control over the hands to get an atmospheric sound of <i>background water. </i>Josh suggest flatter fingers and pulling back of the fingers to get a softer sound. Finger staccatto, fingertips to help releasing cleanly and having a solid touch within a soft dynamic. </li>
<li>The first part should not be stormy (or too tumultuous), rather more very soft - and evocative of a 'sigh'. </li>
<li>In the score note that m.s. (left hand) and m.d. (right hand)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
As ever, Josh Wright has a Q&A tips and strategy sessions here for more technical aspects:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's a <b>tutorial (below) from the French Pianiste - youtube site. </b>You can get this translated into english in Youtube first by turning on the closed captions, then selecting in the settings menu - auto generate (translate) and select English. Here are some of the key ideas, it's mainly for advanced pianists who have grasped the notes and the more technical basics and want to improve on the expression and interpretation.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>The rapid accompaniment in the left hand is like the the human breathe, with a 'aerial' melody in the right hand.</li>
<li>Be careful not to make abrupt movements that disturb the flow of the melody.</li>
<li>Bar 9, the bass changes and so the harmony and more expression</li>
<li>With the octave broken melody - try not to rush these and have a direction with the melody.</li>
<li>Bar 18-19 masssive </li>
</ul>

It has a military feel and style to it. Pianist Emil Gilel's performed it at the war front in support of the Soviet Army in World War II.<br />
<br />
Here are some masterclasses. The first one is by Lang Lang, the introduction is in Spanish, but later<br />
Lang Lang runs the class entirely in English. Rachmaninoff's G minor prelude is featured 14 minutes into the video. After the performance, Lang Lang comes in at 18 minutes in.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lang Lang's ideas<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The beginning as a soft march, with the dramatic melody entering later.</li>
<li>Imagine different instruments - trumpets, strings, and percussion (so think orchestrally)</li>
<li>Two different sounds - the octaves vs. the repeated chords.</li>
<li>Bring out the passionate motifs (bar 17)</li>
<li>Middle section (pp part) - like a beautiful girl arriving, bring your heart out. Watch out for the two voices (countermelody)</li>
</ul>

Josh wright has tips also recorded in 2014.<br />

<br />
Josh Wright's ideas:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>When to pedal on and off in the beginning (a pedal for each bass octave in the beginning)</li>
<li>Stroking out with the elbows, down and off for the repeated percussive parts </li>
<li>Sweeping motions to move up and down the keyboard and release tension.</li>
</ul>

But it doesn't make him immune from being piano memed.</div>
<br />
<br />
At the time of writing this blog, Boris Johnson is in intensive care, in hospital due to the Coronavirus, and we wish him a speedy recovery.<br />
<br />
Ok meme <b>Boris Johnson as a secret pianist. </b>When Boris places his hands on the table, he plays Rachmaninov style thick chords!<br />

No.2 <b>Jazz Piano Boris </b>- this one plays jazz didies on Boris Johnson's announcement that he has the Coronavirus. Again we wish him a speedy recovery and wish him well! This one is by Brittany Yanjou, a New York based Jazz pianist. And it gets quite funky towards the end I might add.<br />

As part of BBC Radio 3's Piano Masterclass, recorded in 2012, 0:53 seconds in - Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso. David Owen Norris heads the masterclass. In this themed masterclass, Norris discusses the Rondo Capriccioso from 0:53 index to 5:40.<br />

<br />
David Owen Norris' tips:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Surprise and Satisfaction in the Mendelssohn Rondo Capricioso - when a change of key occurs - to C major for instance, bring out the surprise! Lengthen the passage or notes before the surprise. I suppose in this case you can use rests or pauses for the same effect as well as sustaining the notes longer. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The next masterclass is from the Golandsky Institute</b> recorded in 2017. 3 minutes long, it works on technical aspects of the more virtuosic runs.<br />

<br />
Tips include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>feeling the pulse of long runs, opening the fingers (more space) when running down the keyboard. </li>

<br />
<b>Josh's tips:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Get a good c<b>antabile or singing sound</b> with the melody. Imagine that you're singing the melody in effect. To get a good voicing - staccatto on the bottom of the right hand while playing legato singing sound at the top. By the way this voicing approach can be also applied to the Beethoven's Pathetique sonata (2nd movement)</li>
<li>Think of the long phrases, voicing the melody very well - project it, sing it, have depth, a<i> rich soprano </i> <i>like an aria, moment in time full of love, </i>Josh adds.</li>
<li>The expression marks (many crescendos and decrescendos and accents) they are more to add more colour in Chopin's manner rather than be taken literally. Interpret as the accents as taking time like rubato! Great tip Josh!</li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the original manuscript is marked vivace (fairly fast) which is interesting. Certainly the section 3 is also very fast and dramatic. Paul also mentions that Chopin thought of the melody as one of one of the most beautiful and was moved to tears when playing it once due to evocative associations of emotion.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Exercise: voicing of chords, for example C major chord or triad - make louder bottom C, then middle E the top note G. </li>
<li>Section 3 - if you break them down into chords you'll soon see a pattern emerging! (in chords - then at half tempo then add expression)</li>
<li>Section 4 augmented 4ths in contrary motion. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Thanks Paul!</div>

<br />
Another popular Youtuber, Paul Barton describes the "Revolutionary" as one of the masterpieces of piano literature. This Etude captures the sentiment of the Russian army capturing Chopin's homeland in Poland and concern for his father.<br />
<br />
Barton's tips:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The mood during performance is very important, but emotionally draining.</li>
<li>Right hand, chords- play deep into the key as if you're playing through the keybed using armweight as opposed to a harsh tone from striking too high into the piano.</li>
<li>Observe the pedal markings for the minim chords only (in the opening, bars 1,3,5) Try to not overpedal.</li>
<li>Metronome practice - helps evenness.</li>
<li>The rhythm is part of the drama (the dotted quaver to semiquaver characteristic)</li>
</ul>
<br />

Josh Wright goes over fingering, pedaling, dynamics, voicing. So Josh starts with the opening left hand fingering (left hand). His key ideas are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Counting the semi quavers but being mindful of when the right hand changes within that counting. </li>
<li>Jumping chords in the right hand, Josh uses the thumb by itself (the bottom of the hand) to practice the jumps then doing the whole hand. Also use the top notes of the jumps. </li>
<li>Rhythmic practice to get the evenness of the left hand runs, dotted (long short, short long, clusters of 3 notes, 4 note rhythms, even 5 note rhythms!)</li>
</ul>

<b>The Moonlight Sonata,</b> is likely a popular choice.<br />
<br />
So first of all - get a headstart.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 1:</u></b> Listen to Daniel Barenboim's 5 minute introduction the sonata. The Sonata was not named thus by Beethoven himself, but more by those who felt the sonata is evocative of moonlight, dreamy, Barenboim adds. It's very interesting to note that Barenboim says the f<b>irst movement theme</b> is based on Mozart's Don Giovanni's opera where one Don Giovanna stabs the Commandatore (military officer) to death. Barenboim also notes the "steady and martial rhythm" of the first movement motif has a funeral march quality. <b>The second movement - scherzo and minute like </b>(3/4 time). The last movement <b>tempestuous</b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 2:</b></u>Listen to some great recordings and interpreters. So who are <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/classicalmusic/7089789/Who-is-the-greatest-interpreter-of-Beethovens-piano-music.html">B<span id="goog_1841675027"></span>eethoven's greatest interpreter</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">s<span id="goog_1841675028"></span></a>?<br />
<br />
Look (or listen) no further and let's go with <b>Afred Brendel!</b> Here's a one hour loop of the mighty Moonlight Sonata. So this is pure audio so close your eyes and listen, really listen. Then,<br />
jot down your thoughts of images, emotions with each movement.<br />

<br />
I would recommending <a href="https://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No.14%2C_Op.27_No.2_(Beethoven%2C_Ludwig_van)">downloading the free sheet music</a> and listening to the music whilst following the score.<br />

<br />

First let's hear one in action.<br />
Rogerio Carvalho - a youtuber performs on the Keytar - in fact a<br />
Roland AX-Synth, which came out in 2009. He performs the following hits:<br />
<br />
Europe - The Final Countdown<br />
A-Ha - Take On Me<br />
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough<br />
Ray Parker Jr - GhostBusters<br />
OMD (Orchestral Manoevers in the Dark) - Enola Gay<br />
Van Halen - Jump<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9dtfTibRHYg" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
So did you enjoy that? I certainly did, as someone who grew up in that decade. This year, there's a launch of a new Keytar - the Alesis Vortex Wireless 2. So Keytars will be back en vogue.<br />
Let's hear a few demos.<br />
<br />
What's also very cool, is that you can play 'lead guitar' on the keytar. And you can simulate the vibrato sound of bending those strings too!<br />

In 1934, Vaughan Williams arranged a Fantasia on Greensleeves that is often performed in orchestral manner. However you can find piano transcriptions of this fantasia and<br />

I'm a fan of the science fiction tv show <i>Fringe</i>, it's updated version of the X-Files by JJ Abrahms<i>. </i>One of the main characters, a Dr. Walter Bishop, a scientific genius and eccentric 'mad professor' boffin boasts an IQ of 196. The character loves classical music and there's a scene of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VeKAimkPKg">Walter Bishop playing the piano</a>; an activity which helps him process all the data and complexities of a problem and then solve it.<br />
<br />
No doubt this Walter Bishop genius character was based on violin (and piano) playing Albert Einstein, whose favourite composers were Bach and Mozart.<br />
<br />
In fact, Einstein would have gladly traded physics for music:<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: #f3ead8; color: #110e0a; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 16px;"><em>“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get most joy in life out of music.” Albert Einstein.</em></strong><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Einstein's second wife Elsa (also his cousin) fell in love with his beautiful Mozart violin playing. <br />
Elsa adds:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>He also plays the piano </i>[as did his mother]<i>. Music helps him when he is thinking about his theories.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> He goes to his study, comes back, strikes a few chords on<br />the piano, jots something down, returns to<br />his study (<a href="http://www.pha.jhu.edu/einstein/stuff/einstein&music.pdf">Elsa Einstein on Einstein</a>)</i></blockquote>
Albert Einstein's son, <a href="http://www.shankarmahadevanacademy.com/community/articles/view/2/">Hans Albert Einstein on of his father</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music. That would usually resolve all his difficulties.</i></blockquote>

Neuroscientist Alvaro Pascual-Leone at Harvard Medical School was quoted in <a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1580438,00.html">Time magazine</a> for his experiments demonstrating that piano playing and <i>mere </i>mental practice of piano playing can reorganise the structure of the brain, with a strong development of the motor cortex. Improved <i>reading ability </i>and <i>auditory memory</i> were also linked benefits to music lessons according to a study at <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2012/08/21/music-lessons-linked-to-lasting-brain-benefits/">Northwestern University</a>. I had a conversation with an education consultant at my daughter's primary school, he was impressed that my daughter had achieved grade 4 piano at age 6 (about half the age of the average). The consultant told me that music lessons had improved results in science and maths exams. I can only surmise this is due to the pattern recognition (spatial recognition), use of creativity, focus and discipline that music develops; add on the hand-eye coordination the piano adds, and that's a powerful combination of skills! No wonder, Walter Bishop turns to the piano in times of immense problem solving. Music also can relax you and lower your stress levels, allowing you to perform better in any task! Keep playing, and learning everyone!<br />

Mozart is his favourite composer. In the book interview - Salt of the Earth (1997), Pope Beenedict says of Mozart:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> You might say that there Mozart thoroughly penetrated our souls, and his music still touches me very deeply, because it is so luminous and yet at the same time so deep. His music is by no means just entertainment; it contains the whole tragedy of human existence. </i></blockquote>
He's also fond of other Germanic composers - the greats: Beethoven and Bach. Here's video of the pope as a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXmJryYrG3c">younger Cardinal playing Bach</a>.<br />
