Preliminary Grade Piano Technique
By Lorna Menzies-wall
Regular price
$10.00
There may be several reasons why we wish to play the piano – to have fun, to give pleasure to others, or to show what we can do. As we grow older, we realise the importance of paying due regard to the intentions of the composer, and the creation of the most beautiful TONE or the most appropriate effects by the control of TOUCH. This is often called TECHNIQUE. Our goal should always be to achieve the ultimate effect with least effort. The cultivation of certain basic skills cannot begin too soon. Following are some simple exercises which will make the playing of the earliest pieces most effective. They cover: Finger control and legato touch A balanced arm and staccato Thumb preparation for scales Two hand coordination for mixed touch Balanced tone between two hands Phrasing action in a two note slur Mixed touch in the fingers of one hand Balanced tone in the fingers of one hand – voicing.

Tempo: Moderao crotchet = 100
Genre: Neo-classical
In the tradition of preludes and fugues for organ, the prelude uses the hymn tune as a cantus firmus in the pedals. The fugue works the opening of the hymn melody into a subject and develops using traditional fugal techniques. Tempo: Moderao crotchet = 100
Composed 2006

The flamboyant two movements should contrast significantly, with the first being very relaxed rhythmically. In the Prelude, the listener’s attention should be drawn to the melody while harmonies are sustained underneath. The Phantasy, however, should be rhythmically precise and build steadily to the dramatic coda section.
