comments/analyses/how to practice

No.1 Arietta	B2	♫
Arietta: It means “little aria” in Italian. So,it refers to small arias (lyrical solo pieces) sung in operas and operettas. The melody played in the highest note of the right hand is just like a song. Not only is it beautiful, but the unique chords that are inserted everywhere and there reflect Grieg’s character. ◇About playing In order not to disturb the melody part, the inner voice needs to be taken out and practiced so that it can be played delicately. [10][12][20][22] : that temporarily refuses the melody an accompaniment instrument? It’s not that difficult on the score, but it’s quite difficult because there are various ways to express it. I think that it is good to create a part in one phrase that is played at a positive speed and a part that is held down a little like hesitation to give movement. It’s a “song” that expresses emotions, so I don’t want it to be too expressionless… However, I also feel that it is not bad to play calmly and modestly without changing the tempo too much. In that case, try to keep the volume of the inner voice down and play delicately.
