SCHUBERT, Franz
Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano in A minor, D 821 “Arpeggione” (version for double bass and piano)
I. Allegro moderato
Wies De Boevé, guest professor
Javier Serrano Santaella, student
Jesús Gómez Madrigal, accompanying pianist
The overall impression after the student’s performance is that he needs to play more fluently, and the professor also recommends always following the original manuscript. Wies De Boevé gives guidance on phrasing and articulation, on crossings and string changes, and also corrects the bow angle (with a more circular arm movement).
Other corrections relate to dynamics, tone duration, character, agogics, ornamentation, point of contact with the string, and pizzicati (softer, rounded finger position).
In addition, Professor De Boevé suggests that the student work on the low register and bring out the harmony that helps create a sense of “dramatic surprise” in a certain passage.
