MENDELSSOHN, Felix

Concerto for violin and orchestra in E minor op. 64 (violin and piano reduction)

I. Allegro molto appassionato

José Luis García Asensio, professor

Adriana Coines, student

Duncan Gifford, accompanying pianist

In this class, they work on phrasing from the beginning of the movement, and Professor García Asensio explains that the student should have fun singing and telling it. In addition, he proposes other fingerings for certain passages, you should always try to maintain the natural position of the hand. Glissandi should be avoided in certain shifts, many times with a change of fingering. In a certain passage, the character is more dramatic and pronounced. It is advisable to avoid risky fingerings and research new ones to check if the result is better; if not, we can dismiss them. Some corrections in expression are made in the cadenza. In the trill passage the character is more mysterious and not rushing. The final section should be better planned in terms of tempi because there are passages in one beat.
