Diabelli - Moderato Cantabile (from Sonatina in F major, Op. 168 No. 1)
Trinity College - Grade 5 (Alternative)
The first movement (Moderato) of Diabelli’s appealing Sonatina in F is a model of sonata form in miniature, an ideal way to teach form and structure to the intermediate pianist. In this video I demonstrate the art of finger pedalling in the left hand alberti patterns and show how to use deconstruction techniques in a tricky left hand passage to improve control and coordination.
