Hey
I played Chopin Ballade no 1 (half of it) im in the process of learning this piece to the pianist i played for in the con, we concentrated on the first part. He said make the melody sing more , louder maybe. But once again my teacher tells me to play each note at the end of a slur very soft, but he was telling me play it louder, make it stand out and sing. can someone give me explanation to this, you do play softer at the end of a slur right? but not as much as my teacher thinks, can someone explain slurs and phrases and just explain the above.
thanks
