At the beginning of the class, Professor Menahem Pressler mentions that, in general, the piano sounds too loud. He also explains other issues regarding main voices, sound balance, and group synergy. Afterwards, Pressler makes some general comments about this work, also commenting on other movements where the cello plays the main role.
The professor also makes a comparison with other composers and gives more indications on playing the first chord together, phrasing, sound balance, and other issues of synergy. They also work on other musical aspects referring to accents, intervallic leaps in a certain passage of the cello, and agogics. To conclude, Professor Pressler encourages them to always play with conviction.
