It is part of a public domain CD of violin repertoire that I got on ebay--really! It has nearly everything you could ever want from the standard repertoire for violin and piano for 15 dollars. It is from something called PD Verlag. <BR/><BR/>The articulation for the opening, which I start up bow the first time and downbow the second time (why not?) has the first two notes slurred (the dotted eighth and sixteenth), and the slur goes to the next eighth note, but with a dot under the slur. I find that if I play that articulation it elongates the last eighth note just enough for it to stay in rhythm.<BR/><BR/>Another thing that really helps with the first movement is for the violinist to practice with the metronome playing sixteenth notes, because the piano's constant sixteenth notes should be able to be perfectly even. My pianist friend really noticed the difference after I practiced my part with sixteenth note subdivisions.<BR/><BR/>The recorder I use is a Sony voice recorder that uses little tapes. I find that a recorder with the least fidelity allows me to hear ALL my faults, rhythmic and otherwise, because it really doesn't pick up resonance. I fugure that If I play something well enough to sound good on that thing, it should sound OK in real life.<BR/><BR/>To record for balance and interperative issues when I'm playing with piano, I use a Sony minidisc recorder.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-90461178315877239202007-10-27T13:18:00.000-05:002007-10-27T13:18:00.000-05:00So would I--I'm working on this piece (I'm the key...So would I--I'm working on this piece (I'm the keyboard player) with modern violin and modern piano. We're using the Henle edition and I'm too ignorant about string technique to even think about suggesting bowings or fingerings to my partner, but which edition is it that made your articulation woes go away? (And while we're at it, what kind of recorder are you using for a practice aid?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-71479131917012725222007-10-19T22:13:00.000-05:002007-10-19T22:13:00.000-05:00Wow, I would love to hear more about this.Wow, I would love to hear more about this.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.com
