This month I spontaneously worked on Prelude b minor op. 32 no 10 by Rachmaninoff.
What are the main issues?
- Lack of controlling emotions, which caused lacks in control in octaves and “trills” (one of them was in different tempo, I don’t know why).
- Too little singing in melody, no real phrase, especially in this “stormy” section.
- Too little control over dynamics in “stormy” section - I played too much ff in the beginning, so I couldn’t show climax. It also caused that the sound was rough.
- Not planned dynamics for the section after “stormy” section.
- There are some issues with time - I can use it more in climaxes.
I recommend myself practicing slowly with exaggerated dynamics and no emotions.
