What goals do you want to achieve for the Holberg Suite today?
- I would like to achieve greater dynamic contrast between sections that are forte and those that are piano (as well as emphasizing sforzandos)
- I would also like to see greater coordination within the sections, making sure that sixteenth notes are timed exactly together
Concert critiques on Holberg Suite:
- The timing of the orchestra was good, they were together at almost all points in the piece even without a conductor
- They did have more dynamic contrast than our orchestra does
- There was an evident connection between the musicians and the music (lots of movement and cuing)
Reflection:
- Our rehearsal of the Holberg Suite in class today was better than all of our previous rehearsals of it.
- We sounded more cohesive
- We created better dynamic contrast
- I think we can still work on
- Greater dynamic contrast
- Timing
- Playing A1-B at tempo (violas)
What goals do you want to achieve for the Slavonic Dance No. 8 today?
- I would like to see greater dynamic contrast between repeated sections and more dynamic phrasing to capture the opposing characters within the music
- More coordination and balance between the sections (i.e. make flute solos more evident by lowering the dynamic level of the strings)
- Less rushing so that the orchestra stays together
Concert critique on Slavonic Dance No. 8:
- The orchestra seemed to rush a bit
- They had extremely good dynamic contrast and phrasing
- There was good balance between sections of the orchestra
Reflection:
- Our rehearsal of Slavonic Dance in class was good
- We had more dynamic contrast
- I think we can still work on
- Staying together (especially when the wind and brass sections are added)
- Even more dynamic contrast and phrasing
