Prokofiev

Pace your self with complicated passages or jumps

We have to make sure we can make it and that the music "breathes"

Use the new sense of moving horizontally to improve fast notes

We apply the learned in faster tempo now

Make it a horizontal experience

The student is "horizontalizing" the piece

Arms' function is lateral not vertical

Sculpt the phrase with an arm and be aware of the line (Prokofiev Vision Fugitives, Op. 22)

In the valley of the shadows

Hands differentiation and atmosphere

Quiet as Cinderella

Kemal focuses on explaining how different sounds can bring out a variety of different characters

Singing Thumb

We are still working on the theme and the hidden voice in the middle

That One Melodic Line

Accompaniment needs to stay below and the piece needs to have some character

Prokofiev is Polyphony

We are kicking off this series with a performance and a little discussion on musical character and polyphony in Prokofiev's works
