Keep a waltz's one-two-three perfectly even and you'd expect it to dance. Dominic Cheli shows the lift actually comes from easing the first beat instead of accenting it, then practicing your left hand alone until the down-up-up motion feels buoyant on its own.
A short and intimate waltz, Chopin’s Waltz in A minor is full of charm, elegance, and subtle difficulty. In this lesson, Dominic Cheli will guide you through choosing where and how much pedal to use, employing rubato at the right moments, ornamentation, and how to build the call and response nature of the piece.
