So this is a way to approach the Bach Minuet in G and many other works of Bach. Otherwise the music, if you didn't use the wrist at all to delineate these notes, you'd end up with a sound like this.Ĭompare it to the nice feel of using the wrists to have a light staccato on the staccato notes. It also gives you the emphasis on the first beat, making it have that bouncy, dance feel. Delineating phrasing creates such a beauty and clarity. So if I start from the beginning once again, playing the two-measure phrase.Īnd that's really the secret to, not only this minuet, the entire minuet, but many Bach minuets and other works. So then, if I play the whole measure you'll have down up, down up, all from the wrist. And then you have down up for the next staccato. Notice, the motion is only from the wrist. But at first when you try this, you may employ the arm along with the wrist, getting that heavy sound that you don't want. If you just play the first two notes of the second measure and try to play the first note with the wrist coming down and coming up on the second note.ĭoesn't seem that hard. So how do you practice it? You want to break it down. And watch the motion of my arm and how it destroys the flavor and the feel and the lightness on those staccato notes. If you employ the arm, the second and third beats become ponderous, and it sounds like this. And if you use the wrist you can get a light staccato. You see, the first beat has to have more emphasis than the second and third beats. And it gives a very different sound, kind of, a heavy quality. But, if you find you try and play the staccatos at first, you might end up using the arm in conjunction with the wrist. And by utilizing the wrist you can get a nice, short staccato. So if we just take the first two measures, the right hand alone, you'll notice that you have slurs until the second measure, the last two notes. So, in teaching this piece or studying this piece, you want to delineate staccatos from the slurred legato notes by using the wrist on the staccato notes. And, once again, the secret is all in the wrist. The secret to getting the clarity and the beautiful, bouncy quality that makes it feel like a dance form, is the phrasing, how you articulate the staccatos, how you utilize the slurs. A dance form in three, a meter of three and it's the baroque styling. So you can hear a, kind of, a nice version of it, without any of the ornamentation, which is perfect for younger students to be able to play some great music on a rather elementary level.Īll right, minuets. In case any of you wanna know which piece I'm talking about, I'm going to play the first section for you.
