I. Con moto

José Vicente Castelló, guest professor

Antonio Lasheras Torres, student

Jesús Gómez Madrigal, accompanying pianist

In this class, they discuss how the student adapts to changes in the hall and what their strategy is. 
Regarding the musical interpretation, Professor Castelló comments that the articulation should be based on intensity rather than energy. In addition, the pauses between sections should be more natural.  
In some phrases, it is necessary to give more scope, to think of the phrasing as longer, so that from the outside the sensation is of more volume. Another recommendation from the professor is that it is necessary to play more with the piano accompaniment.  
Afterwards, they work on phrasing and articulation in various passages. In more expressive passages, it is possible to play a little more with the tempo, andsome more surprising passages should not be prepared because otherwise they lose their effect. Another indication from Castelló regarding when a marcato is desired is that it is only necessary to graze, not to strike, because in a hall with resonance it will sound on its own.
