Description Learn a song a day or a sonata movement a week.
Use this material to systematically explore the many different techniques required of the collaborative pianists, and in the process expand your range of expression in solo repertoire.
Collaborative pianists need all the same technical skills required of soloists, and some would argue that they need to be able to play mezzo forte and under.
If you doubt this, look at cello sonatas of Rachmaninoff and Chopin, violin and cello sonatas of Brahms and songs by Strauss and Wolf, all of which are contained in this volume along with all the other major composers of duo repertoire.
In the past, much confusion swirled about regarding the best avenues for achieving a reliable piano technique.
Exercises of diverse and sometimes destructive patterns were readily available, and for many pianists they were considered indispensable.
Despite the research-also readily available-of physiologist Otto Ortmann (The Physiological Mechanics of Piano Technique, 1962) and others, teachers continued to dish out Czerny and Hanon exercises to naive students eager to develop strong and independent fingers.
They were barking up the wrong tree.
(For more on this topic see Piano Technique Demystified: Insights into Problem Solving, 2nd Ed.
) I advise pianists to put away Czerny and Hanon exercises and, regardless of technical approach, apply themselves to these passages from music they intend to play-collaborative works by master composers-as building blocks for technique and musicianship.
Lessons learned here on the relationship of song text to expressive pianism are applicable not just to art song but to both instrumental duos and solo repertoire.
About the Author Unlike life, playing the piano is easy and doesn't hurt.
This mantra has carried Neil Stannard through what might seem to others like several lifetimes-performing as a collaborative pianist, occasional soloist, symphony bassist and, through it all, a dedicated teacher.
He ha.
