A mild epiphany about my learning patterns; summer begins; horrible crash-through renditions of 10/1 and 10/2.

 


A bittersweet, rainy day; the first nouvelle etude, simplified; practicing (and wondering about a note in) 25/10; a new way to think about listening, courtesy of Madeline Bruser.

 

 


A report on a performance of six of the etudes from Op. 10, with a little bit of coughing.



85: Tired

Here’s what 10/8,9,3,4,5 and 12 sound like when I’m tired.


Some of Op. 10 heads towards concert-ready, or at least concert; some spots to fix  in 10/4, 10/5, 10/8, 10/9, and 10/10, with a little bit of theory geekery in the latter.

Sticky Notes


A brief encounter with an out-of-tune Erard piano (and another piano). Warning: questionable sound quality! horrible intonation!

A glimpse into my hoped-for warm-up of the future, when I’ll be able to play all of Op. 10 and then play anything else in the world. Including 10/8, about half of 10/1, and with-screaming versions of 10/2, 10/10 and 10/7.

In Boston this Saturday? Why not come to my concert?



Some breakthroughs and strategies in 10/8 and 10/10, and a plan for 25/10. By the way, on listening to the recording, I didn’t hate everything I did in 10/8 as predicted, but I definitely need to make the dynamics much clearer.

Here’s the Solomon recording I was talking about.

PIAS 81

 


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!
