I was watching this on youtube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q11CIvZwABE
This is the best interpretation i managed to find up to now and she makes me wanna play it very much.
But i have to agree with Saul that no one can beat a fine violinist on this. For me this piece sounds best on violin.Thank you Tacye for your advise! =)
I see your point of reading RH chords from the top now. I should pick this technique up!
Thank you Carl!
One of my habit was to correct my mistakes whenever i made them when i play. Even during my last exam, i tends to correct them back so often until the flow of my music was interrupted. The examiner commented that i made too many corrections until the flow of my music was lost.
Recently I started to practice with a metronome and that is so much better. I forced myself to go on no matter what happened and somehow this helped me to make less mistakes when playing. =)
Yea Sherry, that make sense and enlightened me up somehow! Never thought of matching words with rhythms which is very useful! Thanks =)
By the way, I cant recognize the time signature by ear sometimes, especially when the music is of compound time. That is indeed a big problem during aural test as i will spend most of the time counting the beats until I ignored the features of the music. =(
Thanks Catherine =)
I have a low myopia of -1.5dpt for both eyes but i usually dont wear specs while playing on harps. I can see clearly and better without glasses as I wont feel dizziness focusing on the sheets and strings alternatively. So I guess my myopia does not affect my sight reading much.
Thanks Saul! I think I should try to fix my Watkins now as I didn’t see any huge improvement in my Viejo Zortzico after a lot of practices. I should talk to my teacher about this and try to fix it out.
By the way, does it really matters a lot if i played my pieces a couple of minutes longer than the suggested time given by the examination authority? Because I usually played 2-3 minutes longer than the suggested time.
I am 19 year-old with roughly 4 years harp experience.
Counting beats on Viejo Zortzico is already killing me. Not to mention the chords.
Yes, this is indeed the Trinity’s syllabus. Maybe I should practice on both the pieces now and then after considering all the pros and cons then I’ll make my decision. Making decision is still a headache now though.
Thanks everyone for your kind advice =)
My teacher encouraged me to change from Petite Suite to Viejo Zortzico but i am still considering it.
By the way, the other two pieces that I’ve chosen are Concerto in B flat major and Variations on A Theme by Mozart.These two pieces are okay for me. The only problem is the third piece which I am struggling for. Petite Suite and Viejo Zortzico are my only choices for the third piece as we do not have much resources here.
