Tempo Rubato
on: July 02, 2022, 02:02:04 PM
Hello.
In the Second part of Claire the lune -  the tempo rubato part - I noticed many many pianist -  it to say all play the first bar of it veery slow I mean I can’t even count to that. Starting with the E flat in the bass - it lasts so long. How do you play that ?

After seeing a few of your posts I think you are overthinking a lot of these things. Trust your ears!

Tempo rubato, you can bend it. Don't worry too much about counting it specifically. I think the opening should be counted, but tempo rubato means you can take some time and let things flow.
