Week 2: New Applications
Thanks for joining me at the Zoom live check-in! Here's the assignment for our second week of Chopin ornaments:
1. Work on the Chopin ornaments from Week 1, learning more of the Mazurka where you found them (Op. 50 nr. 1 or Op. 50 nr. 2). Or, if you have another piece you're practicing, use concepts from this two-week intensive and apply them to that piece.
Submit a video of your progress by July 30!
Thanks everyone - it's a pleasure work with you all on Fryc's many ornaments and I hope to hear more of your work in the next few days!

Hello Jarred, my second video; I have tried to play the Waltz with more attention to the different ornaments, but I need to practice more and more... I am sorry I couldn't attend the zoom meeting.
-
Juan Carlos Olite beautiful playing of the waltz, Juan Carlos! Very charming!
-
Juan Carlos Olite much better arpeggiated chords! As you move up the keyboard keep working on using your arm to let your thumb fall (you can lean a bit to the right in order to make room for your arm). Graces sound better! In the waltz, keep your arms closer to the keys before grace notes or trills, I would say the more fluid sound here comes from seamlessly transitioning between the main text and graces. Let me know if you have any questions!
-
Jarrer Dunn Thank you so much, Jarred! I understand all your remarks, they are very clear. It is my work to put them into practice.
-
Andrea Buckland Thank you, Andrea!

I missed the deadline here for videos, this was a bit over my head, however I was definitely able to apply the fingering for the trill on another piece (not Chopin but same notes) that I have worked on in the past and had difficulty with and it worked like a charm!
-
Angela that’s great! Hope you keep having success with your ornaments! What piece was it?
