I was just thinking about a similar problem during my lunch break today: when playing Veracini-Largo, it’s so easy for me to focus on each note and phrase to make them sound important and nice, but it’s really hard to decide on the mood for the whole piece and arrange the importance of different parts accordingly. Trying to imagine it as a vocal piece does help to some extent, but I’m just not sure. What the whole piece should sound as one hears as opposed to as one plays is so hard for the player to grasp. Greetings,
you take lunch breaks?!!!
I think what really helps is to play over an dover again with the piano (an leanr the piano part of course). Once the harmony gets into your system a sense of re;lative significance begins to emerge.

Buri Buri, I’m Chinese – live to eat. An hour-long lunch break is imperative for a functioning soul.

Practice with piano, oh what a good advice! Without the piano part, I’m really not doing the whole piece. Unfortunately I don’t have any piano accompanist to practice with. I don’t know how useful is to study the piano score.

This is the only piece so far that my teacher thought I got it right musically at my first try, but I feel there must be more to it. Right now, it sounds to me like a very stubborn little person, against all the disabilities and defects, announces to the universe that he matters and he has something to say. Silly me, I know.

I think people's depth in emotional maturity shows in this reality--they don't really like to think a lot for entertainment generally. This is neither good or bad, just reality.

Shakespeare was quite street smart. And though we've added a lot of drama to our love for the Bard, often I can't help to feel he was just being silly.

I was listening to Andre Rieu on PBS a few minutes ago. The performers and performance was quite animated. And the audience loved it, including myself.

Sartre would've done well to consider this. The reverse is true as well though. Social Novelists wrapped scathing critiques of society and government in the most absurd imagery.

This innuendo grande, excites a child's imagination. But, when taken in the seriousness with which it was meant, it becomes something very different. Lower that stick citizenry! Your standards shall, and have followed.

So this context thing Mr. Buri, is far reaching beyond a phrase.

yes.
The Bard was exceptionally silly. I agree we try to attreibute too much profoundity to a lot of his stuff.
Cheers,
Buri Haagen -Dazs is overrated. Ben & Jerry's is a much, much better. But the best is Graeter's ice cream. Mmm, yummy. I don’t get it when things are just silly silly. I wonder if it’s just a girl thing? I’m a big Charlie Chaplin and Monty Python fan. They are both silly and profound, no? Monty Python is only profound. Hope no parrots were listening. Greetings,

Yes, it's the F minor. I will get that CD. Thanks for info. You can find profundity anywhere you look (if you are yourself profound). Kermit the Muppets cousin, Robin, did a really deep song Half Way Up the Stairs based on a poem by A A Milne. now that`s -real- deep
