October

Not practicing very much in the pandemic; Bach as comfort food (and an example of how muscle memory is totally unreliable); a perk of playing music by live composers; three of the Four Pieces for Piano by Katerina Ruzickova Pinosova; Valse Boheme by Celeste Heckscher (and some thoughts on ledger lines); Cortege by Lili Boulanger. […]

137: Last week’s porch concert

Play-throughs (with some a little yelling) of last week’s porch concert: Katerina Ruzickova’s Four Pieces for Piano, Lili Boulanger’s Trois Morceaux, Dorothy Rudd Moore’s A Little Whimsy, and Florence Price’s Silk Hat and Walking Cane. Plus a first play-through of Rachmaninov’s Prelude in G major, Op. 32 No. 5.

136: Porch Concerts

A project I hope will help me find meaning in these strange times. Also bits of, and questions about, Katerina Ruzickova’s Four Pieces for Piano, and a not-quite-memorized performance of Bach’s C# major fugue from WTC book I.

135: Viardot Mazurka and a fun project

Pauline Viardot’s Mazurke (and how I’m stepping up my work and thinking about it), and a fun project I got to work on this weekend. You can see me play Viardot’s mazurke live on Tuesday April 14 on All Together Now, with other guests and host Bobbie Steinbach, coming together to share music and stories […]

133: Pandemic Practicing

These times are good for practicing, as I texted a student today. In this episode: an insight about Chopin thanks to Pauline Viardot, with bits of mazurkas by both of them. Also a look at some small hand workarounds in Lili Boulanger with some moments of improvised practicing in Boulanger and Rachmaninov. And a report […]

PIAS 132: Shopping

I’ve been reading through lots of music, “shopping” for pieces for a solo recital. Bits and pieces of those, and thoughts about putting together a program, and a possible title (tell me what you think of it–I need to know if it’s terrible). Plus a play-through of Chopin’s Fantasie-Impromptu Op. 66, with way too many […]

PIAS 131

Almost done reading through Beethoven sonatas, Volume 2; some thoughts on hearing auditions; ornamenting Chopin’s Fantasie Impromptu (and a glass-half-full report on a lackluster performance of it); the most obvious epiphany in the world, involving a moment with Led Zeppelin, with a shout-out to @yogawithadriene Thank you for being my practice buddy!

PIAS 130: Reboot

Hey, Practice Buddies! It’s a new decade and the podcast is back. Today, some Beethoven sonatas, a little Chopin and, as always, some thoughts on imperfection…

Inside the Mind of a Concert Pianist

2012/12/20

Superb Corelli

It's so rare to get a glimpse into the inner world of a pianist's mind. When we consume piano music we are presented with a "final product" and are left to wonder how she (or he) arrived at the version we're hearing. Jocelyn dispels the myth in the most engaging and entertaining way possible. This blog/podcast is of great use to students, teachers, professionals, and anyone who cares about advanced piano playing, especially the Chopin Etudes. With an honest, open and friendly approach, the listener can truly learn about the steps along the way to a successful performance.
Nice

This podcast not only valuable to someone who is going to tackle the etudes but it also humanizes such a brilliant performer. As a former student of Dr. Swigger it is nice to know that your teacher is still learning. Often music teachers seem like they are on this far away pedestal that you will never reach. This podcast reminds students that no matter how talented or advanced you are you can still grapple with music. While in the beginning stages of being a professional musician this podcast acts like my practice buddy and continues to inspire.
