2008 Peter Lloyds' Master Class at RCM


Mozart: Concerto in D, KV.314

Dynamics -> Do what the composer suggests to do (delete the dynamics, see harmony)

Theme 1: 第一個Trill要從上方音開始才會有偶數音群(不然會不協調)
Theme 2: 俏皮，不要太慢



姿勢:
要和譜架有一支長笛的距離，才不會壓迫喉嚨影響音色
Don't move around -> 會妨礙演奏 (例如:dynamics)
Open shoulders
Keep fit -> be able to use the muscle around the waist


呼吸:像是打哈欠 (放鬆保持喉嚨位置低)



J.S. Bach: Sonata in e minor, BWV 1034 Mov.I
Play the continuo part.
音色保持在中段 (不要位置太高或太接近喉嚨)-> Gentle sound.
Minimize the vibrato.
Short Phrases.
倚音 -> more heart.

Not many musicians command equal levels of both love and respect, but Clifford Benson (1946-2007) was one of that rare and select group. He was one of the most skilled, sympathetic and understanding of ensemble pianists. For many years students here at the Academy were privileged to be able to benefit from his vast experience through his teaching of piano accompanists and in his ensemble coaching. His generosity of spirit and his unique musical qualities are enormously missed by all those with whom he had contact. Tonight friends and colleagues present a programme of music composed, arranged, associated or especially enjoyed by Clifford.

這是一場紀念音樂會。

雖然不認識Clifford Benson (1945-2007)，光聽他創作的音樂就可以感受是個溫柔且幽默的人。

特別喜歡Mozart goes to Town，使用Mozart許多知名主題曲調以爵士風格加以串連，忽而出現小奏鳴曲忽而出現小夜曲，轉瞬變化非常有趣，全場笑聲不斷。

18 Variations on Twinkle Twinkle 則採用Rossini、Prokofiev、Elgar、Frere Jacques、Chopin、Mozart、Brahms等作曲家最具代表性的風格，以及Rapsody、Cantus Firmus、Scherzo、Canon、Waltz、Tango、Rag和Swingle等曲式加以變化，充滿幽默感呀~:D

強烈建議有機會可以找他的作品來聽聽看喔~
(當然這場的演出者們都大有來頭，就不多提了 XD)

Villa Lobos: Jet Whistle
Mov.I
Cello -> Like the sound of train, strong.
Flute -> Keep it going.
More like a piece for flute and guitar.
High (A-)E fingering: add right trill key -> to keep it safe.

Mov.III
Need to copy and cut the score -> 減少譜量(最後重複部分也可視為反覆加Coda直接剪掉 XD)
High A -> 強+快抖音(如果抖不快可以使用右手中指trill製造抖音效果 XD)


Poulenc: Sonata
Mov.I
前三句:p-mf-f ->Rampal Edition的強弱記號較為正確(經過作曲家確認)
第一音不要停在上面
