Stravinsky- Petroushka Mov.1 (Danse Russe)
on: March 17, 2019, 02:42:13 AM
I want my interpretation to be light and whimsical. I think far too much crashing and banging comes out when people perform this piece.

However, I'm more than open to suggestions. Just rip it apart, I know a lot needs to improve and I perform it in two weeks. Any ideas are great, none too large or two small.

Also, I'm a freshman undergraduate piano student at Cedarville University. If anybody around here remembers me (first of all hi) and I just want to rectify my reputation a little. I kinda learned how to be a social human being at college and yes, I still can play the piano a little bit.

That's all, caio. Hope you're all doing well.

I listened tot his about 2 months ago.  Here is what I remember:

Very enjoyable to listen to this.  The glissando was perfect.  Not as fast and exciting as I am used to hearing but very enjoyable nevertheless. 

You appear to stay in your comfort zone, which is very important.  On the other hand, to make this more exciting you may need to get out of this comport zone.  It's a balancing act.  Maybe be able to perform nicely and cleanly as you do here and also be able to perform this with a little more gusto, understanding that you may make some mistakes?

Anyway: well done!

    This is really, really, solid. Sometimes I feel like I lose the intense metric consistency for merely a blip in time, which I'm only acknowledging because I feel like that stability is one of the most important qualities to project while performing this. But overall, it's super good. Musically curious, technically proficient, and well interpretively well organized throughout. Glad to know you'll keep growing with this. It's a good fit for you!

Best,

AJ

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.
