FREDERIC CHOPIN (b. 1809 - d. 1849)
Although Chopin was not very robust, and was handicapped a great deal of his life
by illness. he still managed to compose a tremendous amount of wonderful piano
music. His Preludes, Etudes, Waltzes, Polonaises and Scherzos contain the poetic
charm, delicacy and strength which characterizes all of his music.
No piano recital would be quite complete without the inclusion of some music by
this great master, who has often been referred to as "The Poet of the Piano."
Butterfly Etude
(Study in Octaves)
This is a splendid octave study and should be practiced daily.
Play lightly with a rather hi gh and flexible wrist action.
CHOPIN

Sight Reading
In order to become a good sight reader, one should develop
the habit of reading notes in groups, rather than singly.
EXAMPLES ~ FJ J 1] or ,: -r r4' F
( ;J
The above groups of notes are composed of LINE NOTES and SPACE NOTES in succession.
DO READ Five notes moving UP the keyboard (to your right) starting on C.
EXAMPLES ~ j J J or ,: L j J7
The above group is composed of three SPACE NOTES in succession, and three LINE NOTES
in succession.
This means you will bave to skip two lines, or two spaces.
DO READ Three notes moving UP the keyboard, starting on F with two skips.
Cultivating this habit of GROUP READ lNG, rather than the note by note approach, will not
only improve your SIGHT READ lNG, but will also improve your piano playing. All musical
ideas are composed of NOTE GROUPS in various forms, sometimes referred to as MOTIVES
or MUSICAL PATTERNS.
llOO3A
A "Ballad,," is a story in musical form. Try to picture a woodland scene in which elves
and woodland sprites are dancing. The rumbling of thunder imitated in the bass clef
warns of an approaching storm. The sprites hide but return when the storm ends. They
continue their dancing only to be interrupted once more. In the final measures you can
feel the gradual subsiding of the storm, ending with a lightning crash.

A well-developed left hand is essential if you wish to be a good pianist. How often
do you hear the following, "I can play with my right band but can't seem to do any
thing with my left." The answer is more studies for the left hand; ''Practice makes
perfect."
