Glinka/ Bartok

April 8, 2005 at 11:11 AM · Greetings,

Russlan and Ludmilla: practice with all the Galmian rythms. Practice slowly but with the degre eof left hand presusr eyou would use for faster playing or you will never get comfortable at sppeed.

Everytime the glorious theme other than the champagne runs come make sure you are thinking in one large beta to a bar and not mentally counting a fats two. If you do the latter it destroys the muscial line which needs to be long and sweeping,

Cheers,

Buri

May 8, 2005 at 02:56 AM · Hey, how do I get through all those fast notes in the Glinka without slowing down or getting really tired?

May 9, 2005 at 07:26 PM · Relax and move efficiently. Don't think "note-note-note-note-note" for 5 minutes. You'll go nuts. Think "scale------scale--------scale------."

May 20, 2005 at 08:16 PM · see buri's post, that is more or less what you need to do.

for the bow, learn how to play on the string with small small bows but very solid contact point and minimal physical exertion. if you master this you will be able to play the pagnini moto perpetuo four times in a row without getting tired.
