🇷🇺Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky ： Five Fingers No.2

No. 2 from Five Fingers is an étude that condenses Stravinsky’s characteristic clarity of outline and rhythmic sensibility into a concise texture. Short musical units follow one another, while the placement of notes and shifts in accent shape the flow of the music. It is important to hear the differences between the sections while grasping the piece as a unified whole. In performance, stable fingering and an even, well-defined touch should provide the foundation; maintain rhythmic precision without pressing the accents too forcefully. Balancing light movement with clear articulation brings out the interest of the simple musical material.
