Chopin Kaestner Robertson 2020
Performed/Practised by Michael C. Wong on Saturday, May 16, 2020. Commonly referred to as the "Black Key Etude/Study" (the designation halts, for it applies only to the right hand which plays only black notes...but that is no fault of the composer Frederic Chopin, because he did not bestow any such titles on his works. This practice video shows the steps I am taking to revive this work which I learnt many, many years ago at the age of 15 under the guidance of my talented teacher and mentor, the late Kaestner Robertson at the Jamaica School of music. In my naivete and immaturity I failed to completely appreciate his efforts to develop my technique and skill through works that suited my artistic and musical temperament. In the video I have tackled the first two of four pages. I begin by slowly practising the right hand only...first in a rhythmical manner and then as written. I continue by practising the left hand separately then slowly with both hands (Page 1 of 4)...then with both hands at a faster tempo until I am able to play it at the desired speed (Vivace/Quick, Lively). While viewing/listening I suggest you click on the "Settings" icon on the lower right-hand side of the screen (shaped like a wheel) and then select "Playback Speed" which can be changed to 1.5 which will give the desired speed that I aim to achieve...and which will require many more hours of practice. The video will give an idea to those who do not play of how laborious and time consuming it is to learn a composition of this complexity. My performance here is nowhere ready and will require literally hundreds of hours of additional practice to bring it up to a personal level of satisfaction.
