tackling a lot of repitoire at once

Community Tech discuzzion

so imagine that over the summer you had to learn…

  1. A difficult Chopet (maybe the hardest Chopet for you)

  2. tier 2 concerto (Brahms 1, Rach Pag, etc)

  3. difficult large solo work (Liszt son, Gaspard, Rach Son, etc)

  4. middle to late Beethoven sonata (Waldstein, Appassionata, etc)

  5. Bach Suite or Partita

and you had to finish mastering another Beethoven or Mozart sonata

suppose you had 5-6 hours a day, would you practice different pieces on alternating days, or would you do them all every day but just like 1 hour each? would you try to learn them A Tempo right from the start? memorize first? scales? discuss.

a very managable segment – if necessary, so small that you’ll have already memorized and are able to play it at reasonable speeds by spending about an hour on it, and will play it a tempo in a few days – from each song everyday. then you won’t have to waste extra time on memorizing. i believe this is the most time-efficient way to go.

Learn the hardest passages in your program first. So you could be practicing a certain piece for three out of the six hours initially. Personally, I think practicing 6 hours a day is easier if it’s on three or four different pieces, not one or two. So basically I like to play everything every day, and I think you should eventually get to this point.

second tier meaning hard or easy? The latter i don’t agree with. 8)

11

meaning difficult.

I haven’t seen the music though.

12

btw, this is not so much music I know but I haven’t done something like this in a while because usually I am mastering some music while learning new ones… I have to keep up violin, play with a band, with a job, and play random concerts with other repitoire from the past.

That medical school story is pretty damned impressive.

He’s amazing; he did that while most other people needed every waking hour without duties to study. I guess if he spent less time on the piano he could have become a neurosurgeon instead of a GP now. 8)

but the piano is too addictive! 8)

LOL. Try playing through it and then say it’s second tier.

15

is it around same difficulty as the 2nd?
