How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion

It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

This is a beautiful sonata, one of my favourites, but not the way you play it.

You can't just bang out Mozart at ƒƒƒ. This sonata is NOT a technical excercise, and you work it as if it is an army drill. Do you feel nothing for Mozart? There is no music in this performance, only fingers pressing down black and white keys, with no insight or thought involved.

What I suggest you do is go find a few decent recordings of this (Zimerman, Perahia, Brendel, Horowitz etc) and listen to them. Over and over and over again. Dont listen to the notes, listen to the music. Feel the music. Piano playing is not just sounds at organised pitches coming out of a block of wood, it involves something called soul. Something called emotion. Wikipedia should be able to define those should you not know what they mean. I am very sure you are not a metal robot, I am very sure you have soul and emotion.. now project it through your fingers.

Good luck,

CN

Oh come on. It's not as bad as that. Although dynamic contrast and tenderness are certainly lacking, I wouldn't call it the work of a robot. You've learned the notes well. Now try and add the nuances.
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

  Thats also what i thought.


  One thing that seriously bothered me was the LH, why is it played portando almost staccato, it should be legato and in the background. It's also a good idea to give this music some shape, curves ,for instance the RH melody or scales can start PP gradually reach mf and back down to pp,think round. Reason why i say this is because currently it sounds as though you are trying to be to accurate and in-control to pass an exam or something.

  Other than that good job. :)
