CLASSICAL / ORIGINAL WORKS
NEW: F. CHOPIN. Waltz in A minorSeptember 26
This is a even more simple waltz so that you can right away apply phrasing nd balancing the elements (melody, chords and bass) |

IN PROGRESS: F. CHOPIN. Waltz Op 69 Nr. 2 in B minorSeptember 26
All the notes from today's lesson are in the marked score below:
|
| ||||
NEW: SCARLATTI. Sonata in CSEPT-26
Notice all patterns and unfolded chords, especially in the beginning of the piece. Mark the score, write on it and identify everything you see other than individual notes. |
| ||
SCARLATTI. Sonata in GJune 20
We saw at the lesson how this piece also can be analyzed by looking at the notes of the broken chords, then learn it using larger concepts rather than individual notes. At the bottom of the first page, the texture changes from broken chords to scales. That is more difficult, but still a good exercise to identify what materials are being used, so you can then recall larger concept patterns when playing. |

I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR FACEOctober 5
today we talked about practicing the LH over and over playing the bass+chord to get the motion automatic, and the jumps memorized. Avoid playing the chord using finger #5 whenever possible, so the jump is shorter. Then apply the melody to the bass+chord you just practiced. |

GETTING TO KNOW YOU
|
9/29
Excellent application of the bass-chords for the entire song. 9/21 UPDATE I have created this exercise for you to practice the application of bass+chords to "Getting to Know You" following the steps: 1- Just play melody on the RH and block chords on the LH 2- LH now will break the block chords into bass + chord. No octave lower necessary. As simple as possible 3- LH now will alternate in the bass the -I- and the -V- to bring more variety to the bass line. All these examples are included in the score here on the right margin. |
