Should pedals be used when playing classical piano music? Look at the Moonlight and Waldstein sonatas for example. The first movement of the Moonlight says: Si deve suonare tutto questo pezzo delicatissimamente e senza sordini. (This entire piece must be played most delicately and with no dampers.) |

My fingers are huge; how do I adjust on a piano? If it's any consolation, Fats Waller also had big fat fingers. George Shearing said that shaking hands with Fats felt like grabbing a bunch of bananas. |

What is the importance of tempo and time-signatures? Interesting thing about waltzes: sometimes they go ONE two three ONE two three ONE two THREE one TWO three. Waltzes play around with the beat more than most other dances do. Sometimes the time signature is just a scaffolding to hang the real rhythm on. Just as in poetry where the phrases don't match the actual line ends: "To die, to sleep, / No more, and by a sleep to say we end / The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks / That flesh is heir to; 'tis a consummation / Devoutly to be wished." |

What tempo is Agitato? I wonder if any composition was ever marked with the Italian for "at the wrong speed", whatever that is. (P.D.Q. Bach used "presto changio", "andante senza moto" and "allegro troppo".) |
