_ _ _ Welcome to this edition of Tapalov Piano _ Tutorials.
Today we are going to be discussing the most
famous Mozart piano sonata, the very first sonata that students begin to master.
This
is the Sonata in C Major, Kershaw _ 545. _
We are going to discuss three [N] trills in the exposition
_ of the first movement of this famous Mozart sonata.
The trills are on measures 4, _ _ _ _ 15,
_ and _ _ 25.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Looking at the first trill in measure 4, _ _ we see that the trill is preceded by an upper
auxiliary G.
_ [Bbm] Therefore, start the trill right on the principal note F. _
F, [Eb] G, F, finishing with [F] the
two ornamental [D] notes E, F, E. _
[Eb] _ _ [G] So thus it will sound like this.
1 E and 2 E and [E] 3 E and _ up to
[F] tempo.
_ _ [A] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ With the left hand you will hear this.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] Now I'll play the entire phrase up through that
trill.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Now let's discuss the second trill on page 15.
This is a different trill.
It is not preceded
by the upper auxiliary _ of the principal note on the trill.
Therefore, we're going to start on the
upper note of the trill, which is A. _ _
So on the G we have this _ _ for your trill and they'll be played
in the tempo of 32nd notes. _ _ _ _
They finish with two [A] F sharps.
[Gb] _ _
_ Make sure you [N] allow enough time _ for the
trill to finish and the F sharps [A] to speak.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Together with the [G] left hand they will come together like
this.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Now I'll play the entire phrase _ from the beginning of the second theme.
[Db] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [N] _ And finally, the last trill in the exposition of this famous _ Mozart Sonata begins on measure 25.
_ _ Now there's three different ways to play the trill.
_ _ _ At the end of my discussion I will recommend what
I think is the best and most musical _ _ form.
_ _ First, when practicing this it is smart to play one-on-one,
in other words, a 16th trill against the 16th left hand accompaniment.
_ So the notes [Ab] B, A, B, A, [A] B, A, B, A.
Again, this trill does not have an upper auxiliary _ _ preceding it.
Therefore, start on the upper note B.
_ A, B, A, B, A, B, A, [Ab] using lots of wrist [A] rotation. _
_ Now, against the left hand, _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
so that is one form of the trill. _
_ Of course, when you're performing this piece you'll want a much faster trill.
_ The other way to do it
is to, of course, have a two-to-one ratio trill.
So we have a 16th trill starting on B against [Eb] _ a 16th
left hand [Gbm] accompaniment. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ Now the third way is the way I recommend _ performing because when you have three against two,
it takes on another dimension.
_ _ It creates more [N] nuance and is a much more musical trill.
Here's what three against two is going to sound like in slow motion first. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ Hands.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ Now _ _ we're going to play it up to tempo.
Here's what the three against two trill sounds like up to tempo.
So these are again going to be triplet 16ths in the right hand, _ regular 16ths in the left.
_ _ _ _ Now _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ I'd like to [N] play for you the first _ _ exposition of the first movement. _ _ _ _ _
