Why is Daphnis Hard? (and what to do about it)
This week is Daphnis, both first and second suites, so, as promised, here's a video. Update: playing it in the orchestra, I realized that for that lick at 167 I also anchor my left index finger. It helps, and does no harm. And performing it this time, I think I got this video wrong. You have to know these noodles so well that it’s like juggling, you don’t even think about it. Then you have to juggle while riding a bike. In traffic. If you're interested in music at Duquesne University or Carnegie Mellon University, go to https://www.duq.edu/academics/college... or https://www.cmu.edu/cfa/music/ and search my name for contact info.
