Hi there! My name is Igor from smartclassicalpiano.com and today we're going to look at some more
Tchaikovsky and the piece on the menu today is In church yhis is one of his pieces one of
the last few pieces of his album for the young children's album has a very
liturgical quality nad it`s very pious and it needs to come across the plains so
I think we should have a look at some of that that approach when we get through
it so you can watch this first part here on YouTube then head on over to our
website: smartclassicalpiano.com start your free trial to finish this piece ok
let's have a look at what this piece sounds like!
ok so I think it's quite obvious that there is some sort of it's very
reminiscent of course I feel require Senior Day if you like there should be
some Latin words are so it's a song of worship essentially a him and it has a
sort of reverberant quality to it and that's I think we need to try and mimic
when we play this is a specific kind of solemnity that you can only find in the
church and it has to come across into play
ok let's have a look at a thing going to start five in to be in the peaceful them
and it's repeated
second finger stays put his to stay put while you connect four to five then you
left down again
next
and this has to this is actually crescendo all the way up to
that intensity and we continue still kind of heavy still big sound bite into
second finger gonna keep those who don't worry about it but connected with the
fifth didn't then threw everything is connected platform over which the matter
melody can come across so make sure this
the way to me don't come is connection with Logano and a tough choice now in
terms of guaranteeing its quite straightforward so let's count through
the whole thing and you can see an observer my divisions as I do it and
then you can imitate it
the left-hand mimics this exactly so let's have a look at just the fingering
for this hand one-in-three
those 22
15
here that's it that's it for the first eight bars of this piece to the rhythm
is the same in both hands so once you going to right hand in the left hand with
the correct rhythm to put it together shouldn't be too much of a struggle
this piece is really sounds like it is written for church and interestingly enough the end
or towards the end of the peace it really starts to turn a wheel and become
more what you'd expect from Tchaikovsky's of real kind of tragedy to
it I'm just a little bit of it so you can see what I mean is this a bass-heavy
dark base ostinato
