Lesson with Simon

Hi there, we started work on new piece called Liebesbriefe(the German word Liebesbriefe means Love letter). The piece was written by one of my favorite composer Johann Kaspar Mertz. In my view, it is not technically demanding piece. However, the romantic piece evokes deepest feelings and therefore it is requires attention on interpretation. According to Simon I will have to work more on voicing( highlight melody line) as well on dynamics. How to interpret an perform 19th century music is nicely explained and demonstrated by Alice Artzt. For instance, one of the most important thing is to bring up the melodic line. This is a crucial in music of 19th century because expressing melody was one of the main features of this period.
