CHOPIN, Fryderyck Franciszek
Andante spianato and Grande polonaise brillante for solo piano, op. 22
Eldar Nebolsin, professor
Matteo Giuliani, student
In this piano masterclass, they begin by working on the Polonaise. In general, Nebolsin explains the important points of the piece, and the moments in which a period closes and something new begins, and insists on the importance of savoring the details and not overlooking them. The way we move is a symptom of how we feel the music. He talks about the metronome of the two parts and how important it is to feel every detail, leaving the metronome aside.
When Chopin puts accents, he often means “expressive note”, and in many of his works on the bass he puts a dot to not give so much importance to that first chord, to make it lighter, and avoid that settlement in the first part. You have to imagine that we play with a bow, it has to be a more horizontal gesture. The question-and-answer moments have to be noticed. They also work on jumps, trills, and expressive moments.
