🇷🇺Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky ： Five Fingers No.5

No. 5 from Five Fingers is an etude that makes effective use of a limited range and concise musical material, drawing attention to the movement of the piano’s five fingers. Short phrases follow one another to shape the musical flow, while the placement of the notes and changes in rhythm provide subtle points of interest. Each note should be articulated clearly, with careful attention to the beat and the direction of the phrasing. While maintaining finger independence, avoid a mechanical manner and shape natural dynamics and breathing according to each phrase, bringing out the expressive qualities within the work’s concise writing.
