Download or read book Demystifying Bach at the Piano written by Neil Stannard and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INCLUDES LINK TO VIDEO DEMOS. Pianists are horizontalists. When confronted with competing horizontal lines, though, we are called upon to rethink our predilection for spinning a single line beautifully to the right. To some it may seem sacrilege, but we must think more vertically. In these pages we consider the techniques of coordinating more than one musical line. We learn to apply principles of grouping notes together and shaping lines in certain ways for technical ease. We consider fingerings, sometimes more than one. When technical solutions coincide with musical objectives, we are delighted. But when there is a technical problem, we examine it on its own merits. No mindless rote here. We consider approaches to ornamentation and articulation and their expressive partners, dynamics and phrasing. All of this gently couched in physical movements so natural to the body as to be irresistible.***Praise for the previous volume, "Piano Technique Demystified": "This is an excellent book. Whether you are an advanced pianist or a novice, the concepts shared in this book will bring your technical skills at the piano to a new level." "This is a very well written book with lots of humor and fascinating anecdotes shared by the author. The reader is sure to find a wealth of useful and helpful information to enhance mastery of the piano." "Neil Stannard provides a clear, concise summary of how to co-ordinate good movement patterns into your piano practice. He approaches learning difficult repertoire as a series of solvable problems, and offers the reader many tools to come up with solutions."

Download or read book Bach Two Part Inventions written by Johann Sebastian Bach and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would appear that J.S. Bach really composed his two- and three-part Inventions (Sinfonias) on purpose to prepare his pupils for his larger works, - especially for his "Well-Tempered Clavier", - and as such they cannot be too urgently recommended. And to this day, a diligent study of these Inventions will greatly benefit every talented student of the piano who desires to rise above mediocrity; they will cultivate his musical taste and develop his technic. For in no modern, easy piece of music is the left hand given so independent of a treatment of the theme as in these Inventions.Edited By:Carl Czerny (1791–1857)Friedrich Conrad Griepenkerl (1742–1849)Friedrich August Roitzsch (1805–1889)(Note: This edition contains only the 15 Inventions, and not the 15 Sinfonias.)

Download or read book Forms of Performance From J S Bach to M Alunno 1972 written by Michael Maul and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, Bach is one of the most revered and studied figures of classical music, despite there being a time in which he was almost forgotten. Divided into two sections, this volume explores research on J.S. Bach and more broadly examines the topics of music and performance studies; with the latter focusing on composers active today, such as Marco Alunno, or those from the recent past who are lesser-known and performed, such as Pietro Cimara and Leo Ornstein. Following from Nones’s (ed.) previous publication Music as Communication: Perspectives on Music, Image and Performance (ABE, 2018), this work provides a rather unique contribution as a choral attempt at exploring performance today. The intention of this book and the downloadable audio content, with live recordings of the music explored at the conference from which the volume originated, is to inspire fresh approaches to the study of a monument like Bach, while also encouraging original research of modern composition and performance. Recordings of the performances given over the two days of the conference serve either to clarify arguments made in the papers or to attest to the music explored more generally. This volume is founded on the belief that the history of music is comprised of many figures, some of whom are undeservedly forgotten, and that our understanding of and approach to music is simultaneously shaped by the past and directed by the continual evolution of sounds and attitudes of the present. Examining music styles from baroque (Bach) to contemporary (Alunno), Forms of Performance will be of particular interest to Bach and performance studies scholars, as well as advanced researchers and PhD students in this field.
