🎹 Piano Lesson in Progress | Gurlitt. Arabesque in a minor | 🎶 Marissa (8) Transfer Student

Gurlitt's Arabesque in A minor is a charming piece that offers an excellent opportunity for students to develop fluid technique and musical expression. The key to mastering this piece lies in grouping notes together in a single wrist/hand motion, rather than playing each note individually. This approach not only facilitates faster and more efficient playing but also enhances the overall musical line and phrasing.
By using a relaxed wrist and hand to execute these grouped motions, pianists can achieve a smoother, more connected sound while reducing tension and fatigue. This technique allows for better control of dynamics and articulation, enabling a more nuanced and expressive performance. Additionally, relaxing the fingers and hands while playing helps prevent injury and promotes long-term technical development.
Practicing Gurlitt's Arabesque with focus on these wrist/hand motions and relaxation techniques can significantly improve a pianist's overall approach to similar patterns in more advanced repertoire, making it an invaluable study piece for students at various levels.Like, share and subscribe for more videos!
