ALLEGRETTO - Antonio Diabelli Download the piano sheet Here The tempo of the score is quite fast, it’s an Allegretto, which has metronome variation that ranges from 150 to 180.. So it’s very fast. Phrasing Throughout all the duration of the theme,the right hand doesn’t raise from the piano. It must be raised only at [...]

Arietta – M. Clementi Here is the eighth song from Cesi-Marciano. The song is composed by our great Italian composer Muzio Clementi and is in C major with a tempo of 2/4. The speed of the song is a “Allegretto“. Phrasing The piece is rich in phrasing but poor in dynamics, therefore the latter loses [...]

Allegretto - A.Diabelli Download the piano sheet  Here Phrasing Throughout the first and second line, the left hand has no phrasing. It should only bother to play the notes in full value, while the right hand, for phrasing reasons, has little portamento slurs on the 2d and 4th beat of each staff. Obviously these slurs [...]

MODERATO – Antonio Diabelli I find this fourth piece far easier than the others previously seen, the tempo is moderate and, moreover, in this song there are notes with very high values. Although the tempo is moderate (metronome 108-120), I recommend to play the entire piece at 144 (this means that each note of the [...]

Aria W.A. Mozart This song is very famous but, at the same time, simple. There aren’t any major technical difficulties, the important thing is to observe the dynamics, phrasing, and notes. The right hand plays on 5 notes, while the left hand has a slightly wider range. The left hand, indeed, plays almost always half [...]

Now, in this new compositions we have to study the bass clef for the left hand, even in a gradual way. Ine each ex. the same notes are proposed both for bass clef that  treble clef. So, [...]

I hope you don’t think Beyer is easy. I know that the last exercises were not very complex to deal with. But now it’s time to face the n. 52-53 and the troublemaker n. 54. N.52 has the original element to be in  6/8 time. In the lesson about simple and compound times,we have talked [...]

Hello everybody! today we are going to make some more practice focusing on the evolution we have underlined in the  last exercises. I’ll just tell you the most important and crucial difficulties you could come across during each exercise. Number 47: Right hand lies on the 5 notes, from C to G. Left hand ,instead, [...]
