Lesson notes. November 4, 2025.
SCALES. E Minor
MOZART 2nd movement
Page-1
Presentation. How much emphasis on the articulation would you like to have?
Sharp articulations vs. round softer edge articulations.
16th note accompaniment: Think of a legato sound like strings, vert little articulated, close to the bottom of the key bed, and giving plenty of room to the RH to sing the melody.
GRANADA
Bullet-proof start is a must
Double pedal at 3rd measure LH melody so there is no "D" residue accompanying the "C" in the melody.
Page-2
You sound professional level here. Excellent sense of the phrase, differentiation of the voices, general calm cadence,
-Prepare the entrance of the theme in D-flat. It doesn't sound natural/comfortable appearing all of the sudden. A bit ritardando before it arrives, and let it air once it has appeared.
Return of the theme.
Same pedal issue, but in general, it carries very good energy, very nice contrast in dynamics
Approaching the climatic ending feels a bit too large for this piece.
