Jens Peter Maintz works with Izak Nuri to play with more expression and connection in the first movement of Brahms’ E minor cello sonata. Maintz discusses the background of this work and the importance of playing in a Brahmsian style, while still never abandoning the obvious homage to Bach. He encourages Nuri to also have a thorough knowledge of the whole score and work to balance and connect with the piano. Maintz helps Nuri find a more connected legato to create long lines rather than individual notes. He encourages the student to experiment with vibrato, tempo, and dynamics, and exaggerate these choices to a point outside his comfort zone to achieve maximum expression.
What we learn:
- Creating a more connected legato.
- Differentiating the Brahmsian qualities from those that are an homage to Bach.
- Having more freedom in tempo and expression.
- Knowing the full score and balancing with the piano.
- Experimenting with the use of vibrato.
