Music Lesson

Instructor:

My fault. Very sorry. No, it was not very good. My fault. I said very sorry.

No, no, no. This was not together at all.

Very funny.

Discussion of Dynamics:

• In the beginning, you give that, but it's sort of...

  And then:
  Pom, pom, pom, pom, yum, pom, pom, pom.

  That was good.

But then it gets louder and louder there. They think, "Well, you're not looking at us well, we play out."

Keep a check on them. Yes.

The more you play, the more there's a danger the piano will not be there.

So, do it once more.

I also forgot trombone. Very sorry. He will not hold it against you. With a bit of luck, once more.

Encouragement:

Yeah, okay, Karim, I'm sure you can.

And you want to have more pianist, more soto voce.

Questioning Techniques:

Yes. So, how?

Get something out of your box of ideas.

Yeah, but the danger is when you want it more pianissimo, that it also becomes slower.

So that's always one of the eternal problems of the conductor.

How can I get really pianissimo, but in tempo?

Feedback on Tempo:

Okay, okay, Karim.

Okay, good, good.

But it's getting slower and slower.

Yeah, getting slower.

Yeah. And you don't want that, or do you want it a little bit?

I want a little bit of space before the.

And then you can pick up.

Yeah, okay. The ones were the beginning.

Final Thoughts:

Okay. And I will keep my mouth shut.

Yeah, no, no, no, no. I'll keep my mouth shut.

It's a bit too slow. I need to...

Well, yes, yes, yes.

So it's very good in many ways, but sometimes you do things that I think, "My goodness, how can they keep it together?"

Because you are so busy, and you want everything, and I know you have it here.

It comes through and it's very impressive.

Oh, yeah.

But maybe I'm your most critical admirer.

Yeah, you do very well.

But you have to discipline yourself, and I'm sure you will do, because you are clever enough.

Concluding Remarks:

So, end of the slow.

Furtw?ngler could do that at the end of his life.

But when you start as a young man already with that, how slow will you be at the end of your life?

I would keep it a bit more in a classic shape.

Movement Insights:

The whole movement is from here?

No, the poco sostenuto is becoming a molto sostenuto.

And I found the beginning dangerously slow too.

But okay, that's a Lego.

It's not a Lego comrio that I buy from you. I mean, if that's your...

If you're convinced about that.

But in the fortissimo, keep a little bit more energy for yourself because you are so.

You are attacking them, and there's a danger that you lose the rhythm.

Yeah.

Okay. Well done.

Thank you.

Thank you.
