A report on a performance of six of the etudes from Op. 10, with a little bit of coughing.
A brief encounter with an out-of-tune Erard piano (and another piano). Warning: questionable sound quality! horrible intonation!
The first full episode of 2013! Realizations about 10/10 and (my playing of) 10/8. A New Year’s resolution, an explanation of those improvs, and the ten minutes of my practice that aren’t actually “practicing”.
Many thanks to those of you who wrote reviews! While I didn’t get as many as I’d hoped for, I’m really touched by some of your comments. The podcast will return occasionally, with sporadic episodes in 2013. Meanwhile, have a terrific holiday season!
Here’s a link to what I spent all week on:
and here’s the sound file in case you’re not near video.
cheers!
Making art in this world; maintenance practice vs. get better practice; score disagreements; improving my thumb support.
Oh, and here’s how to write an itunes review, as well as how to download iTunes. If you can’t get into iTunes, I’d also appreciate your leaving me a comment here at http://playitagainswig.com. Thanks!
Demisemipenultimate? Only three more podcasts after this one (maybe). Thoughts on practicing between practice; on playing concerto reductions; a mini rant about Hindemith; a taxonomy of the Chopin etudes; and play-throughs of 10/3, 10/5, 10/8, and 25/2.
