Composed by Sibylle Kuder. Instructional,Standards. Score. 10 pages. Sibylle Kuder #3238413. Published by Sibylle Kuder (A0.924207).The purpose of this three-page intermediate etude is to show off how fast you can play.
The student needs to be familiar and comfortable with moving freely and at times quickly around the keyboard, and be familiar with playing chords in D minor (and its relations) and F# minor. Other than speed, there is not much going on in this etude, so a student with a sense for flair and drama will be better suited to avoid making it sound too mechanical.
This etude could be an opportunity to work on chord technique as it relates to moving in and out of the keys to accommodate black keys within the chords.
Practicing the three-note scale fragments and broken chords crushed/blocked - all three notes at the same time - may help to get a feel for how the hands move from chord to chord, which helps with speed: you can't play fast if you don't know where you are going!
Both the three-note scale fragments and the broken chords benefit from drop-and-lift gestures which give the first of the three notes a natural accent which in turn helps with the necessary forward momentum.
Due to the frequent use of patterns - and because it is essentially one long chord progression -, this etude can be taught by rote which allows for the focus to be on technique which is to be understood as the study of motion: carrying the sound seamlessly from hand to hand.
