repetition
on: July 17, 2005, 06:34:44 AM
There is a particular piece I play (Rzewski North American Ballad No. 4) that has a left-handed passage that is very long and is just repeated over and over and over and my hands seem to want to speed it up as I go along.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this?

Repetition can cause boardom and you might subconsiously be wanting to just get to the end of the setion as fast as possible (just a thought)

also sometimes when I'm noticing I'm speeding up I'll overcompensate and suddenly drop in tempo ><  It's really annoying.

The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music
A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more
