“If you think like a musicologist, which I encourage you not to do”

[SilverTower]

Mozart as a child was asked how do you play so beautifully?...He kept it simple and said: "I just play the notes that like each other."

[jdogcisco]

Her mother would weep and say, "All that money for lessons for a c-major scale?"

[RolandHuettmann]

I learned that each single note of whatever you play stands by itself and should be made conscious, has its individuality in your mind and requires attention and love. Then all becomes lovely. There is no "mechanical" note that should be played.

I saw her play Grieg's Concerto in A minor once, this lady is an absolutely magnificent musician. Her name is Sara Davis Buechner if you want to look up her recordings

Edit : A minor, not E minor

[artbyzef]

I got to play in an orchestra on Dvorak's piano concerto with her as the soloist. She's an absolutely amazing and knowledgeable musician

[Plethorality]

my grandfather used to finish his jobs on the farm as quickly as he could, so he could get home and listen to his sister play the scales.

Excellent lecture! Each and every note can be beautiful if they are played correctly and with the right touch and evenness between them

In case any of you are wondering, that’s Mozarts sonata No. 5 k283

Structure is a good argument against Mozart-haters... But she is not just a musicologist.
Because she would make an excellent stand up comedian, she makes a good teacher.

another beautiful scale is Tchaikovsky's Pas de Deux🥰
My teacher encouraged me to practice scales musically, always.

[mattiascravaglieri]

Don’t think like a musicologist!

(Musicological approach appears…)

[tipdub]

I could listen to this lady talk about music for hours!

[theUrbanJoe]

Yes! The master takes the humble pieces and creates a masterpiece. The result is human and divine 😇

[barryc]

Thankyou for this magical intepretation.

Glenn Gould: *"Thats bullsh-"*

[liul]

Love this lady, she reminds me of my first piano teacher, a strong character with a great sense of humor

[ritareichman]

'Elegant simplicity', bravo from an old colleague at Juilliard

[ernestofurchtgott]

This is the type of phrasing of scales that should be encouraged in practice, not boring exercises which are the norm, IMO. Because it makes it interesting
