During slow passages we sometimes have time to use a fingering that produces exactly the sound we want, rather than a fingering that is most efficient. In this episode I demonstrate what that can sound and look like, using the opening of Glinka/Balakirev’s “The Lark” as an example.

If you’re a benefactor on my Patreon, as a bonus you can hear my live performance of The Lark from a concert this past May.
If you love the beautiful melody of The Lark but don’t want to tackle the very difficult Balakirev version, Angela Klohn has a great arrangement of the original Glinka song.
