MY MERCH: https://bit.ly/3mBbwkf

In this video I try to learn the hardest piano song/piece in the world! La Campanella. But the problem is… I’m not a pianist. I’m just a guitarist. Hope you like it!

Tetiana is the most epic piano teacher for being apart of this video go check her out!    / @tetithemis4660  

Here’s what the detective on Fiverr uncovered about Liszt and piano practice:
“Hi there,

After a couple of hours of searching "shortcuts" etc on how to learn this piece - the general consensus seems to be that there are none! Many experienced piano players have stated that they have practised for years, and have still not truly mastered this piece.

However, some potentially useful advice:

In the beginning, your focus shouldn't really be on speed and accuracy, especially at the beginning. If you can afford it and can find one, getting a good teacher would help. However, assuming you do not wish to, and really want to embark on this ridiculously difficult challenge - here's my advice as someone who has been self-teaching piano for a few years.

Focus on getting the movements right. This is especially true if you're tackling something difficult: poor hand movements can cause injury, especially when attempting advanced pieces. As a rule of thumb, if you're planning to learn anything beyond ~grade 5 material, technique should really be your main priority. If done right, playing the piano should feel really effortless. It is possible to play demanding repertoire for several hours straight, and not feel any sense of tiredness at all. I know it because I've experienced it firsthand. If you're getting any muscle pain or joint aches etc., you're doing it wrong. Period. Figure out how to fix it.

On how to acquire "technique": There are several things to be noted here.
- You should increasingly learn to notice tension developing in any part of the body. Try and be aware of anatomy as well -- fingers DO NOT have muscles, the muscles that power movements of the fingers are in the palms and forearms. Body weight and strength from the forearm, back, shoulders, etc. is transferred via the fingers, and the fingers just act kind of like the 'medium' to transfer the energy: they are not supposed to take a beating. You should feel no strain on the fingers even after playing difficult passages for hours straight. The wrist and forearm should typically be kept level with the keys. Look up videos on piano posture on Youtube.

Read up whatever you can on Pianostreet about technique (bernhard's posts are quite good). Also watch all the videos on Youtube about technique you can find (look up pianocareer, Graham Fitch, cedarvillemusic and Josh Wright)”
