Playing the Third Movement of this concerto,
both Masleev and Trifonov displays
mastery of the ivory keys.
There is, however, a marked difference
in the results.
Can you spot the difference?
I was about to fall asleep watcjing him play
until he played the transcribed Paganini etude.
It should not be forgotten
that most of the melody
and theme of the score
is played by the right hand,
the left one being relegated
to accompaniment duties.
To achieve best results,
the melody, or theme,
should be played a trifle louder
than the accompanying notes.
While most of the difficult fingerings
are accomplished with the right hand
the delight to the music
is produced by the right hand fingers.
Try to distinguish
the lure of the melody
from the basic accompaniment.
Competing in the Finals
of the Franz Liszt Competition
is Dina Ivanova
