Taught by renowned instructor
Norman Krieger
A masterpiece of texture and lyricism, Chopin's so-called "Aeolian Harp" Etude Op. 25 No. 1 is an approachable study in opposites: how to play lightly with the strong part of the hand, and boldly with the weak part of the hand. Join the Chair of the Piano Department at Indiana University, Norman Krieger, as he explores what he calls a "gift to the wrist." Focusing always on beauty and nuance of tone, Krieger identifies and analyzes the mechanical demands of the piece while offering creative practice techniques for making the physical act of playing subservient to the music.
