140.Īs a teacher, I ask myself, “Based on past experience, what is the student performer most likely to have trouble with while learning this piece?” From my experience, it probably will be counting and playing the opening march motive with its dotted rhythm. Expect to hear excellent character pieces that represent the best of Gurlitt in his pieces in Op. "March" is the first piece from Gurlitt’s well-known Album for the Young, Op. In Masterwork Classics, Level 3, approximately mid-way through the book, one encounters Gurlitt’s "March ," a piece where a student starts to coordinate more complex rhythmic figures and play chords. “Let’s see if we can learn the first two measures of this piece before you go home.” Then you help the student learn just the first two measures, hands together, in the lesson-success!Įxample 2: Rhythms and Articulation in "March, Op.“Would you circle the C five-note pattern in measure 1-2?” “Now, would you circle, again in the light blue, every five note pattern in this piece?” “Did you find a total of 5 five-note patterns?” “Play them in order with the right hand throughout.”.
“Would you circle in pink the first two-measure phrase, both clefs?” “Now circle it every time it appears in the piece… Goodness, once you learn it, you will know 8 measures of the piece!”.Ask, “How many measures are in each phrase? Let’s mark them with blue brackets.” (Note: Sometimes I tell them here that phrases are groups of notes that belong together.).Play the piece for the student or listen to the examples from the CD recording that comes with Masterwork Classics.
