The thought of Yunchan Lim playing an upright seems absurd, but it might just be one of his most profound performances ever! In our latest video, Robert Fleitz breaks down the way that Marc-Andre Hamelin, Yunchan Lim, and other world-class pianists tackle playing the upright at their NPR Tiny Desk Concerts.

Have you watched the video yet? If you have, leave us a comment down below on your favorite classical piano Tiny Desk moment - and if not, then check it out!

What if one of history's greatest piano sonatas was hiding in plain sight for 200 years? 🕵️‍♂️🎹

For two centuries, the "Easter Sonata" was attributed to the famous Felix Mendelssohn. It was analyzed, performed, and praised as his work. But Felix didn't write it.

His sister, Fanny Hensel, did.

Fanny was a prodigy whose father told her that music could only ever be an "ornament" for her, never a profession. This video isn't just about a piece of music; it’s about the erasure of a genius and the detective work it took to finally give Fanny the credit she earned.

We’re finally setting the record straight. Come see why this "lost" masterpiece is one of the most important stories in piano history.

tonebase lessons teach you concepts and techniques, but Tracks put them into action: short video demos, annotated scores, and clear practice instructions that walk you through a piece section by section. All taught by expert musicians and teachers on the tonebase team.

Just follow the path, and the piece you're learning comes together! You can start learning Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor right away. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is coming soon.

More Tracks and more instruments are also on the way! We're just getting started, and it will only get better as we learn from how you use it.

Super excited for the latest long-form, dropping tomorrow! We're investigating what might be the most underrated piano concerto in history, and a composer who suffered an unexpectedly tragic fate. (Oh, and it's a topic you all voted for!) Any guesses? 👀

See you tomorrow!

It seems our latest deep-dive into Ravel’s music got a bit buried by the algorithm...but honestly, it’s one of my favorite recent videos, and I’d love for more of you to see it! 💃🏼

I had the chance to sit down with the incredible Gwendolyn Mok to talk about Valses nobles et sentimentales, La Valse, and the lesser-known sides of Ravel’s identity that shaped these works. If you’re looking for something thoughtful and a little different to start the new year, this one’s for you.
