Piano Ensembles: The Ultimate Chamber-Music Experience
Learn to develop a balanced sound between string and keyboard players
Some of the most beloved chamber music repertoire involves a piano. But attaining that magical balance between a bowed-stringed instrument and a larger percussive-stringed instrument can be a challenging collaboration. And many experienced piano-trio musicians point to this collaboration in performance as being just as important as understanding piano trio repertoire itself. Without balanced partnerships, an inexperienced pianist can drown out his fellow string players. And conversely, unlearned string musicians can sometimes fall below the piano and miss melodic or harmonic lines, creating a muddled and messy sound.
Understanding that each player has a unique voice when it comes to piano ensembles can be the first step toward mastering this beloved repertoire.
