Moszkowski's In Autumn / En Automne, Op. 36 No. 4 is a wonderful work for practicing finger dexterity, elegance, phrasing, and romantic style in virtuosic scale-like and arpeggio-like passages. The piece is built on an interplay of beautiful harmonies, with a lightly melancholic, but nevertheless inspiring atmosphere that I truly wanted to share with you.
I have filmed a thorough lesson on this exquisite work in order to help you refine your piano playing and improve your technique and stylistic understanding. The work is suitable for late intermediate and advanced players.
In this 45-minute comprehensive video course I thoroughly go through this character piece and together we explore:
- An immediate relaxation of the fingers (working towards faster tempi without tension)
-
Motion coordination, wrist position in shifts
- Precise positioning of the wrist & fluent movement for elegant phrasing and long lines
- Ergonomic repositioning during arpeggio-like passages
- Pedal intricacies in virtuosic pieces
- Optimized fingering suggestions and material redistribution between the hands
- Practice algorithms for efficiency, comfort, and ease
My goal is to lead you through this piece explaining and demonstrating how refining subtle movements can help significantly improve your technique, speed and control in order to achieve elegant phrasing and and sophisticated style in virtuosic romantic pieces.
I also include my ANNOTATED PDF SCORE (from the public domain) with markings for fingering, pedaling, and phrasing nuances that I created specifically for this lesson.
