Performance Guide:
As you begin work on these etudes, study your music away from your instrument. Take the time to mark accidentals, expressive and dynamic markings, and identify repeating patterns of scales, sequences, intervals, and varying articulations, to ensure that each etude is learned correctly from the start. Daily long tone warm-ups and technical practice within the keys of each etude (major/minor/chromatic scales, arpeggios, seventh chords, patterns of intervals and sequences), using the variety of rhythms, articulations and dynamics found in each, will help you to more efficiently meet the technical and musical challenges presented in these selections.
This etude, marked “Leggero, grazioso e veloce” (Lightly, gracefully, and swiftly), requires a flexible, consistent airstream, excellent control of the piano dynamic, and a fluid finger technique to capture its nimble, graceful character. Begin your practice of this etude slowly in 4, using a metronome consistently to help maintain a steady tempo. Gradually increase the tempo until you are able to feel the larger beat in 2 while continuing to subdivide in 4; this will provide a sense of forward motion in the phrasing and prevent rushing.
The quick tempo, technical demands, articulation patterns, and soft dynamic make executing slurs through larger intervals, including the ninths (mm. 2 and 6) and octave slurs (m. 12), a challenge. Start slowly, using a subdividing metronome, focusing on the beauty and consistency of tone in every register, coordinating your fingers and tongue with your airstream. First, practice the entire etude slurred, with a beautiful, resonant tone, keeping the air stream spinning through each note, interval, and phrase, and listening for evenness of technique. While you do this, concentrate on keeping your finger technique even. Next, practice the entire etude with a light, unforced staccato articulation, maintaining the quality of sound achieved while slurring. Finally, practice the etude as written, working to maintain the consistency and beauty of tone through the variety of articulation patterns and dynamics.
In m. 22, use Thumb Bb on the third beat to facilitate the performance of this passage, but slide it off before m. 23.
In m. 24, the grace note should be performed just before the final G-natural.
Suggested breaths: end of mm. 4, 8, 14, 18, 20
Terms:
Leggero - light
Grazioso - gracefully
Veloce - fast
Sempre pp - always very soft
