Ede Poldini - She smiles
on: May 18, 2015, 02:27:22 PM
Hi.

I have chosen to play Poldini's "She Smiles" for my next level examination.
It is pretty difficult (for me) and I have been trying to find references, but I can't find any recording or performance of it.
There is 1 youtube video, which has terrible sound at a distance, so makes it difficult to hear any detail.

Does anyone know of a recording (or willing to make one!) that I can use as some reference?
It is Op.93 Number 4.
My teacher unfortunately suffers from rheumatism and can't learn/play it for me. So we are solely going on her interpretation of the music. I don't have the skill to really understand the music from sheet music only. I rely on my ears mostly.

any help?

Hi irrational link,

Why don't you just use the harmonic and formal structure of the composition as a guide to find the essential moments of interpretive insight, and then work the remainder of the interpretive details around those moments?


Mvh,
Michael
