October 4, 2023 – Marlene

F major scale (two 8va), arpeggios (two 8va) – hands separately, then together. Try to add in as much of gestures/rotation as possible. Keep fingers as curved as possible

Ploger: 6-Part Lap Map p. 68 improv

6-part Longy Rhythm – do this without Lap Map, tapping on beat 1 only and whispering on dots. Use your good coach to remind yourself to go through the tough section first, then do entire right side, then start from beginning. When you can do this without a mistake, then you can add Lap Map

• Try to keep going if you make a mistake – identify the cause of error, and apply the correct cure in time

• Theory – RCM Book 6 Unit 4 – follow steps on top of p. 49 to determine the intervals
• Sight Reading 5 Unit 9

Ensemble piece: Battle of the Piccolos

Bach Prelude in C Minor BWV 999

• Continue with RH blocked chords and LH as written
• for fun, take a look at Ploger’s chapter on heptachord shifts p. 270 and following

Melody (Ivan Sings) by Khatchaturian p. 152-153 in Classics to Moderns

• Continue memorization work, try to think of other ways of remembering the LH patterns in first half (chromatic movement, hand position on keys, etc)

Enchantment

• Work the B section by playing RH from beat 3 8th notes to the downbeat chord in the next measure (m.11 to12, 13 to 14)
• soft pedal on last to measures (do damper normally)

Sonatina in C, Op. 36 No. 3 – Clementi

• Set this aside for now
