Notes 26 Oct
Beethoven
- Do these LH accompaniments softer for more ‘velocity’
- in critical sections such as 2nd page top half, better to do ‘error free practice’
- differentiate between p dolce bits and f with pedal usage in p bits
Czerny
- still more focused practice on consistency is required, however, as a whole, heading towards the right direction
- the secret is soft softs, then any peak is bigger
Recording psychology
- phrasing – does it make sense, appropriateness of phrasing size
- rubato – where should you take breaks
- ideas
- dynamics
- mistakes
Notes 20 Oct 2020
Czerny
- When playing loud you need to play efficiently. Which notes need to be loud? This can also help it keep light
- small trouble sections, two bars at time
- 13-16, prolonged forte, what is your idea here?
- 47, LH melody, less RH
- 49, have staccatos pop out
- 59, don’t rush
Beethoven
- 12, group into 6
- when learning, treat as a sight reading exercise
Chopin
- techniques for greater consistency
- rhythm practice on semiquavers
- slow practice
- drill small sections
