Re: Burgmüller hairpins It’s complicated. Just as sforzando means “do something special” not just “louder.” Hairpins mean “give me a little climax.” Depending on context can be a little crescendo, maybe a little faster,…

Re: Digital piano vs acoustic grand piano (Knabi 6' 11”) Kawaii MP11-SE is the best keyboard action and pedals. Kind of a beast at 75 lbs. The ES-920 is not bad and weighs about half as much.

Re: What is your daily practice routine? My practice is pretty idiosyncratic. I try for 90’, but usually can do an hour. Regardless, I find it helps to have a plan and to think in terms of daily, weekly, and quarterly goals.…

Re: What do you think about the tonebase Practice Plans? I think it’s great. I like the level testing. I also like the variety of teachers, from the fairly abstract (Ohlsson) to the very directive (Lomazov), and the demanding (Giltburg) to the sympathetic…

Re: Do I need to upgrade to an acoustic piano? Well, sure. It’s a lot more fun to play my Steinway than my Kawai weighted keyboard. But, honestly, I’ve learned some pretty big pieces on the Kawai while the family slept.…

Re: Counting Clair de Lune I don’t think it’s wrong, but it is a lot of work! All that 123/12 is crucial for Brahms, but Debussy’s rhythmic language here is more gestural than precise.…

Re: Besides Chopin Op. 10 No. 1, are there any other advanced pieces suitable for beginners? Oh my! 10/1 is very hard and might be a little frustrating. Horowitz refused to play it in concert. 10/6 is pretty accessible and 25/1 is very effective for the effort required.…
