Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.

1. use pedal (if the passage allows it)

2. play arm&wrist legato and let the only fingers do staccato

Hm, maybe keeping the key from rising to it's full height after depression would work, but it's nearly 00:30 here so I can't try it and see, and this would probably change the tone as well as making it quieter, or is this a good thing for the piece?
