Piano Sonata No. 5 in G: how to interpret?
on: July 31, 2012, 07:15:32 AM
Hi guys! I'm currently studying piano sonata no. 5 in G by Mozart. I'm really having a hard time in practice and interpretation. Do you guys have any advice on how I do this? It'll really help! Thanks!  ;D

Listen to some professional recordings if you have any access to them. This is a common way to learn how to interpret a given piece. The point isn't to copy exactly what the performer is doing, but evaluate and critique what you like about the performance and what YOU want to do differently to make it your own.

Thank you! You see my real problem is in my piano teacher, who seemed to juice out all the passion I have. All her comments are fixed in the negative side of the story and always discourages me. After such, I always ask what to do with this part and that part and her answers are way too far from what I was asking. And so I'm left with myself trying to figure out what to do with the piece.  ??? Anyway, the passion of a pianist is never too weak to stop. So thank you for your advice!  :)
