Evan Shinners
Evan Shinners walks through every bar of the fantasy, addressing essential topics like: choosing fingerings not just for comfort but also for musical emphasis; how to adjust your ornaments to the context; how to connect distant notes without pedal; how to choose a tempo that works; and where the harmony needs extra time to settle. Shinners closes the lesson with three segments on fundamental skills that also apply to everything else you play: how to take time for musical reasons that also make it easier to play; exercises for producing a beautiful, vibrant sound at the piano without tensing up; and how to break up a phrase into manageable chunks that you can master and combine to build confidence and play fluently.
