Making Good, Healthy Sound - Even at the Softest Dynamic Level

26 Mar 2021 @ 17:30 GMT

Although it may seem like a simple matter, playing softly can be one of the trickier aspects of pianism - especially if we go about it timidly or by simply "retreating" from the keyboard. In this online workshop, William Westney discusses one of his favourite topics: demystifying the technique of piano / pianissimo dynamics and finding a satisfying, reliable approach that sounds and feels good!
