2. Chopin

   1. 24 Préludes, Op. 28

      1. 💚(REVIEW) No. 10 in C-sharp minor: Molto allegro

         2. LH chords: further in the background. Less pedal - shorter pedal. Consistency with pedal.

         3. Two-measure melodic sections: melody should always be present.

1. 💚Dutilleux: Sonata: Choral et Variations (11:00)

   2. REMEMBER TO ACCENT LIKE CLOSE LOUD AND WITH STRONG INTENTION ON ANY LANDING POINT IN TECHNICAL PRACTICE.

      1. Practice from m. 175- going into the new texture.

         1. RH chromatic ascending strong sweep

         2. Immediate textural change in m. 182.

         3. LH melody voicing like Chopin nocturne.

      2. Mm. 151-166 sprints in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. until you can do the whole section. This needs much more accent and pointed above-the-key approach. Double/triple hits if needed.

      3. Places like mm. 189-191: Sprints in 6, rotating the starting point. Think ahead to the landing point (close loud) before you try. If needed, groups of 9 and 12.

      4. Mm. 167-181: LH much shorter, RH legato. Do accent sprints rotating, then accent practice at normal speed.

      5. Continue the performance practice up to 224 (at least)

         1. BTW if you are doing sprints / accent practice on new parts, make the chunk very small (2-3 notes each chunk).

IMPRESSIONISTIC / POST-ROMANTIC

1. .

MODERN / 21st Century

1. 💚Dutilleux: Sonata: Choral et Variations (11:00)

   1. Variation II:

   2. REMEMBER TO ACCENT LIKE CLOSE LOUD AND WITH STRONG INTENTION ON ANY LANDING POINT IN TECHNICAL PRACTICE.

      1. Practice from m. 175- going into the new texture.

         1. RH chromatic ascending strong sweep

         2. Immediate textural change in m. 182.

         3. LH melody voicing like Chopin nocturne.

      2. Mm. 151-166 sprints in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. until you can do the whole section. This needs much more accent and pointed above-the-key approach. Double/triple hits if needed.

      3. Places like mm. 189-191: Sprints in 6, rotating the starting point. Think ahead to the landing point (close loud) before you try. If needed, groups of 9 and 12.

      4. Mm. 167-181: LH much shorter, RH legato. Do accent sprints rotating, then accent practice at normal speed.

      5. Continue the performance practice up to 224 (at least)

         1. BTW if you are doing sprints / accent practice on new parts, make the chunk very small (2-3 notes each chunk).

CONCERTI

   1. Mm. 131-134 - wrist movement in octaves.

IMPRESSIONISTIC / POST-ROMANTIC

1. .

MODERN / 21st Century

1. 💚Dutilleux: Sonata: Choral et Variations (11:00)

   1. Variation II:

   2. REMEMBER TO ACCENT LIKE CLOSE LOUD AND WITH STRONG INTENTION ON ANY LANDING POINT IN TECHNICAL PRACTICE.

      1. Practice from m. 175- going into the new texture.

         1. RH chromatic ascending strong sweep

         2. Immediate textural change in m. 182.

         3. LH melody voicing like Chopin nocturne.

      2. Mm. 151-166 sprints in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. until you can do the whole section. This needs much more accent and pointed above-the-key approach. Double/triple hits if needed.

      3. Places like mm. 189-191: Sprints in 6, rotating the starting point. Think ahead to the landing point (close loud) before you try. If needed, groups of 9 and 12.

      4. Mm. 167-181: LH much shorter, RH legato. Do accent sprints rotating, then accent practice at normal speed.

      5. Continue the performance practice up to 224 (at least)

         1. BTW if you are doing sprints / accent practice on new parts, make the chunk very small (2-3 notes each chunk).
