This post includes activities that correlate with the Pastoral Symphony Theme by Beethoven in Piano Pronto 5.
Music Sample
Technique Non Legato Touches
Watch an excerpt (6:45-8:20)from Graham Fitch's Masterclass on Non Legato Touches to learn more about leggiero and other articulations.
How are the wrist level and finger shape different when you play leggiero?
Improvisation
The Pastoral Symphony includes many broken chord patterns. Listen to this Create First Ocean without a Shore improvisation, which is also created mainly with broken chords. Then improvise your own Ocean piece using the same chord patterns, breaking them up in any order.
Possible Variations- Invert the chords (as in the pastoral symphony intro) and play bottom, middle, top
- Play piggyback chords as you cascade your hands up or down the keyboard, repeating some patterns with each hand.
- Borrow some of the rhythm patterns in pastoral to include in your improvisation or create your own rhythms to convey different moods.
