Hello everyone! In this episode of Open practice I show you what do I focus on when practicing the Brahms F major cello sonata, I hope you find useful tips for your own practice!
Thank you for letting us in on your practice. It’s fascinating to watch a top class player experimenting with the subtleties that make a performance so special! 👏🏻Thanks again :-)
I can't see clearly in the video: do you loosen the left shoulder for a wide, slow vibrato? I always kept it fixed, but yesterday I experimented with relaxing the shoulder and tryed vibrato to let vibrations gently transfer into the shoulder. (Maybe for Q&A video when you have the time.) Great insights and tips as always! Incidentally, I just played Marcello Sonata for the summer class and my pianist was also named Pablo. I was so happy!
Step one: more reverb. Big rooms with resonant properties like glass or concrete Step two: precision right hand Step three: perfect intonation for for maximum instrument and room resonance Step four: Be pablo...
Wow, overwhelming...but- Brahms in the same time needs always a heroic and noble attitude.....the beginning is too agressive and overpowered soundwise. In such acustic, look for a colourful sound ... like on an Andrea Guarneri ...
