Student: Cristina Cordero
Accompanying pianist: Juan Barahona
Venue: Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, Madrid (Spain) 24/01/2023
P. Hindemith: Der Schwanendreher, concerto based on old folksongs for viola and small orchestra (viola and piano reduction)
I. Zwischen Berg und tiefen Tal
Abstract:
In this fragment on the end of the Der Schwanendreher's first movement, Prof. Ridout makes phrasing recommendations regarding the more lyrical parts: less portato, use of the vibrato, clear main notes...
He also makes indications about dynamics. Afterwards Ridout asks for contrast when the climax is reached. Prof. stresses the phrasing based on the musical character and the importance of each part. Lastly, Ridout suggests not relaxing the final chord, but making it sound like it was played by an organ.
