[Sue Lee's Piano Technique] A long note is emphasized "by itself"

[A long note is emphasized "by itself"]

Look for long notes when you're confused about which note is the main note when you're playing a piano melody.

For example, what is the longest note in bar 1 of this score?

It's a quarter note, "E"

E is the most energy-driven sound in this part. If you sing a song, you can easily see that e is the most emphasized.

Similarly, the B, which starts with a pick up bar, is played lightly with a short note, and the energy-driven note becomes a "G" with a total length of two beats.

If you put weight on a wrong short note rather than a long note, the phrase of the song will be broken.

Likewise, what is the most emphasized note in this song??

will be "D" in measure 5, right?

A,B flat,A,D should be played at different weights.

Now, then, is every long note always emphasized?

No.

at measure 8, F is the half note. But this part is the end of the phrase, so the sound should be getting softer.

If you cut that part shortly, it would be a very light finish, but by playing it long, it makes it possible to draw like the bow of the string, long and smoothly.

The long note is an important key point in the song.

In addition, a unique rhythm is created by a mixture of long and short phonetics, so how you handle long notes determines the vitality of the music.

However, a long note should not be expressed as an "accent."

Emphasis is not just about the sound coming out individually, but within the "flow" of energy.

You have to get more energy into the long pitch.

The performer should controls this by weight.

[Sue Lee's Piano Technique] Why I have to practice slowly?

[Why I have to practice slowly?] There's something that piano teachers usually say a lot. "Practice slowly" Why is that? When we play the piano, there are two main technical problems. 1. When your finger muscles get tight If you hit it quickly, your fingers will get tight without knowing it, and your arms will hurt and your sound will be all gone. 2. when you hit it with pressure on your fingers. Especially when you make a loud sound, you have to make a loud sound somehow, and there is no time, so without realizing it, you bend your fingers, give it strength, and hit it to make a cracking sound. I think more than 95% of the problems that come out when playing fast are these two problems. Let me give you an example. Running fast and eating something, is it possible? Why don't you have complicated thoughts when you're late for school or work and you're so busy? Rather, you may have experienced the distraction disappearing when you run fast or do aero...

<7 things you need to prepare for a piano competition> Before writing the 7 key points, I'm going to write down the characteristics of the student that stands out in today's evaluation. <good points> *Students who can use their bodies freely and flexibly *Students who are good at dynamic *Students who can feel the rhythm without shaking, whether on scale or in harmony *Students who clearly utilize various instructions and articulations such as Ritardando, A tempo, Staccato, Slur... *Students who have a strong sound and can hear well *Students who feel the change of harmony and build up well <bad points> *If you don't have a clear dynamic, so it sounds boring *The body is stiff and only fingers move, so the sound is rough, and the scale collapses and keeps getting wrong *In cases where musical expression is not revealed at all because they are only busy hitting *When the rhythm is shaken by the melody. an uncontextual wobble that is hard to even see as R...
