It depends on the pianist, and the piece that is being played. -
The Italian term Largo means that a piece should be played slowly. It should be not very slow as Grave. This term is frequently used in the middle movement of Baroque concertos and slow piano pieces (selected nocturnes and preludes by Chopin).
Yes. Practically any type of song can be played on the piano.
A piano etude usually is a shorter piece (a study) which would be no more than a few minutes long. They usually demand transcendental techniques and high levels of virtuosity. Frederic Chopin and Chales Valentin Alkan are two popular composers for etudes. Nocturnes (night pieces) are one movement pieces featuring melodic lines with accompanied broken chords. Slower pace terms such as Lento, Larghetto are often used. K.S. Sorabji composed over 30 nocturnes for solo piano where Frederic Chopin composed 21. A piano sonata is a cyclic work with (two), three or four (occasionally more) movements where the first movement (at least) follows the sonata form. A usaul sonata with three movements have fast, slow and fast movements, where a minuet or scherzo and trio is added between the second and third movements to make it a four movement composition. It was prominent in the entire classica period. L. v. Beethoven composed 32 piano sonatas where W.A. Mozart composed 19 of them. A piano ballade is a large scale one movement piece which is usually consists of lyrical and dramatic narrative qualities built on certain melodic themes. Frederic Chopin, Gabriel Faure and Franz Liszt were notable composers for ballades for piano solo.
Chopin's Revolutionary Etude (Op 12 No 12) was dedicated to his dear friend Franz Liszt, and was Chopin's interpretation of a piece with the feel and speed of Liszt, but with Chopin's grandiose melody.The opening bars are meant to be played extremely fast, and in the spirit of an Etude repeats a (mid high mid low) pattern of sound where both hands must keep this insane speed as the piece alternates the appassionata runs between them.To answer this question, the musical concept most obviously intended to be practiced is the consistent alternation between the treble and bass semiquavers (sixteenth notes) and the ability to voice a melody of chords over a incredibly fast string of sixteenth notes; ranging from Fortissimo to Pianissimo.The concepts most illustrated by the Chopin's 12th etude are speed, consistency, and voicing.
Harpsichord, violin. I think he also played piano but in his day piano could only play 5 octaves and the little hammers that hit the strings were tiped with leather insted of felt like today. Because of this they couldn't play realy fast trills like todays pianos.
Chopin's second Scherzo is op 31. His first is op 20. The meter in the second is presto--both are very fast.
if you have a look on your piano book you will find just above your piece on your left that shows you how fast you have to go but with gavotta you need to times that number by 2 = 120
It is still played fast but just smoothly..so kind of a llaa llaa llaa llaa llaa but fast like lalalalalalalalala
yes they do, i am a piano player myself. I started young so i am a fast typer.
It frequently refers to a fast-moving humorous composition which may (Beethoven symphonies) or may not (Chopin scherzi) be part of a larger work.
