Chapter 4 Technical Agility and Dynamic Control in a Classical–Romantic bridge Piece
L. van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 7 in D major, Op. 10 No. 3 (1st movement)
Oxana Yablonskaya works on Beethoven’s Presto movement (early Romantic in spirit), helping you train the sonata form and dramatic contrasts. Yablonskaya emphasizes the need for precision at high speed along with Beethoven’s quick dynamic shifts.
Key learning points include shaping the character of each theme, imagining orchestral instruments in the piano’s voices, and “wise and precise use of pedals” to achieve clarity.
This masterclass strengthens technical agility and dynamic control in a Classical–Romantic bridge piece.
Preview L. van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 7 in D major, Op. 10 No. 3 (1st movement)
Written in the scheme of "Forma-Sonata", the composer organized it in such a way that we have a first theme, a second one, a recapitulation of all the themes, and a coda. The tempo is Presto, so you're supposed to be precise and fast in playing, yet according to the typical style of Beethoven, you also need to change dynamics all over the piece quickly. The main topics are 1) Character of the piece 2) Identifying notes as instruments of an orchestra 3) wise and precise use of pedals. Professor: Oxana Yablonskaya.
