Piano Technique: Thirds Tutorial [Dohnányi Essential Finger Exercises Nos 26 and 26a]

Описание: This tutorial is about the piano technique used in playing thirds effectively. Playing thirds in piano technique presents two challenges: the challenge of coordinating the fingers so that they go down together, and the challenge of bringing out the top note of the thirds louder than the bottom note.

This video is part of a series I’m doing about the Dohnányi finger exercises I play and teach the most, out of the book "Essential Finger Exercises" by Ernst von Dohnányi.
