Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@Conrad Winn The only piece of Fibich I've ever really known is the piano quintet I once played. The poem is quite lovely and I am adding it to my teaching list!

Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@Paul Larson I really enjoyed your middle register in particular and the LH octave sections as well-clearly voiced and balanced. I may have to try this one out as it has some wonderful colours!

Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@Hazel Hi Hazel! Such a great piece. You have a confident LH and some fine work on the secondary melodies that are woven in. If I recall, toward the end of the middle section,…

@Priya Viseskul Hi Priya, Great job with the fingering and navigating how the RH plays inside the LH's field all the time. You look relaxed and effortless in your movements despite the challenge here.…

Re: Week 3: Art, Character, and Imagination
@Peter Golemme I also like to work cross-rhythms out slowly and precisely at first for 2 vs. 3, 3. vs. 4 and 3 vs. 5. I do find once you get things like 4 vs. 5 or 6 vs.…

Re: Week 3: Art, Character, and Imagination
@Michelle R Oh thank you =) Yours as well; a delicate touch on the chords of that prelude is tricky to achieve. Your isolation practice is a great way to develop consistency! Thank you for sharing.

@Priya Viseskul Hi Priya, I recently had a student learn this piece. They had a similar take, especially with the very end of the piece which they felt was almost a scream of overwhelming rage and…

Re: Week 3: Art, Character, and Imagination
I think all Chopin's Nocturnes are inward pieces though some of course have outburst moments (Op. 15, No. 1, Op. 27, No. 1, Op. 48, No. 1). However, Op. 15, No.…

Re: Week 2: Getting into the Practice!
@Karen Sam You may find it worthwhile to check out "The Pianist's Guide To Pedaling" by Joseph Banowetz if you haven't already. It is a good resource that discusses each of the pedals and then gives…

Re: Week 2: Getting into the Practice!
@Karen This is a great piece. You can absolutely use the una corda. Liszt used it often and not just for pianissimo passages; he also used it to differentiate the tone / sonority of a section.…
