Repertoire for the Holidays. Recommendations/Tips?
on: December 05, 2011, 06:47:30 AM
So I have to get ready these pieces in 7 weeks of holidays:
-Le Cocou; L.C. Daquin
-Prelude and Fugue in F minor No 12, BWV 881; J.S. Bach
-Rhapsody No 2 in G minor Op 79; Brahms
-Arabesque No 1; Debussy
-Etude No 3 in E, Op 10; Chopin
Any tips, recommendations or general things I should know for practicing these pieces?

Planning is the keyword here.
How many bar each day on each piece do you need to learn for the whole piece to get ready?
Where are the hardest bars of the pieces? Sight read through every piece and mark the hardest bars for you technically. Start practicing these right away aswell as the bars needed every day to get ready.
Mark out repeated sections.
Plan how long you need on each piece every day.
This is 5 pieces in 7 weeks.
Let's asume each piece has 100 bars.
That means you have to learn about 10 bars each day, on each piece. Focus on this only, and then move on to the next one. If you do 10 bars in 2 minutes, then work on the hard part for the rest of the time.
Listen to these pieces ALOT, so you are 100% sure of how it sounds in your head.
Be consistent, practice smart, drink water, get some candy or treat that you like while practicing.
Good luck.
