SAINT-SAËNS, Camille
Sonata for oboe and piano in D major, op. 166
III. Molto allegro
Ramón Ortega Quero, Professor
Lucía Talavera Haya, student
Alina Artemyeva, accompanying pianist
Following her performance of the third movement of Saint-Saëns’ Sonata, the professor congratulates the student for understanding the work, which is paramount, and generally particularly appreciates when she plays with more breath. He aims to work on two things: first, that the student uses 10% more air when breathing and blowing, especially in softer dynamics, to achieve a more natural sound; and second, that she pays more attention to the end of the notes. Regarding the Molto allegro, for the beginning, Professor Ortega suggests playing with a more powerful, less constricted mezzo forte sound. He advises her to practice air projection at home so that certain notes do not sound stifled. Finally, he provides some guidance on tempo and metric freedom.
