Now, same page, two lines down you've got another roll there. If you use this technique, you can play the roll at ff. Usually we play a roll starting in the LH moving up into the RH. Once you've redistributed the music that way, to articulate the roll, play the two thumbs first and together, and playing outwardly in both hands in contrary (opposite) motion the next two notes together and then the last notes together. On page 3, second line down, third measure, that roll on the downbeat is marked ff, but sounds too soft-but it can't be, as it's the climax of the piece!! The proper way to execute it is to take the top three whole notes in the RH hand with thumb on the F flat and the lower two whole notes in the LH (thumb on the B flat) along with the F flat initial note of the triplet below. , line 2, notice in the middle RH phrase, the top notes comprise a long scale starting in E flat and ending on the B flat. Three lines down, this C comes back to haunt again, so needs to be muted. On page 2 first measure, where the E flat is tied, keep the underlying C natural uninterruptive as it's merely harmonic, not melodic. The clue is the tenuto marks over the thirds. Throughout the piece you must voice the upper notes in the thirds in the RH bringing out the melodic line. Good! Do everything you can to subdue the LH accompaniment to keep it as quiet as possible. It sounds to me as though you figured this out, as you play it in a lyrical, dreamy way of a gondola slipping quietly over the water of a canal in Venice. It's true that most barcarolles are written in 6/8 or variations thereof, but probably only Rachmaninoff was clever enough to compose one in 4/4. 6.Ĭopyright © 2016–2023 people read the title Moment Musical but miss the fact that this piece is actually in the form of a barcarolle.
