The Brahms 4th movement has a lot of syncopation that Aaron and I have to bring out individually. In my lesson today Amy kept referring to molasses and taffy, things that have to be stretched and drawn out. Brahms is like that with his complex rhythms and sonorities. When I play this sonata I think about exaggerating all of the dynamics and making sure to feel every eight note or subdivided note, without making it sound that way.
In the Barber 3rd movement, I am challenged to just keep playing my triplets the entire time while the piano part switches from triple to duple meter, and back again. It's pretty fun to play, but I have to figure out how to block out the piano part so it doesn't throw me off-for now.
I'm going to go practice more, right now...
