In this masterclass, Alexei Ogrintchouk works with Josef Vik to capture the long lines and expressivity in the first movement of Strauss’ Oboe Concerto. He begins with mentioning the unusually light quality of this work by Strauss, and thus the importance of bringing that quality out. He helps the student achieve long, legato musical lines that lack unwanted accents. He encourages the student to relax and play stress-free, as that is what the music calls for. He cautions the student against shortening slurred notes, as this detracts from the music. He also demonstrates how to articulate clearly and cleanly without adding unwanted heaviness to the front of articulated notes. Much of the class is spent on phrasing. The student learns to have musical direction at all times, particularly on notes with long values, which must always be leading toward or away from somewhere. Ogrintchouk helps the student find the tension and release in the phrases and therefore sound more intentional in his musical ideas.
What we learn:
- Capturing the lightness of the music and key.
- Creating long, legato lines devoid of unintentional accents.
- Avoiding shortening slurred notes.
- Balancing the air and the tongue.
- Playing through longer value notes with a sense of direction.
- Expressing the ebbs and flows of the phrases.
