Another play through of Schumann Concerto
I played a little bit too much before this play through so the beginning was a little bit rough.
Schumann concerto is in my opinion difficult because the bow, articulation and nuances as well as intonations must be so precise just like Beethoven and Bach otherwise it’s not convincing. And even if I think, ok I’m ready for Schumann concerto there are many shifts and jumps constantly from the beginning till the end of the first movement and if I didn’t practice enough each time, I feel a little nervous. but they’re all not meant to sound difficult. And I think it’s emotionally so powerful and capricious and it’s difficult to not be too much emotionally driven and lose control. But maybe that’s what “technical capacity”meant to be…
The middle-part of the third movement seems easiest for the solo part but I still lose control for some notes but I think it’s almost there.
It is in the process and always will be.
Give it a little break and I should fix each part once again and I think it should all work out…
