About this violin masterclass:

Professor Miriam Fried helps her student, Alcide Menetrier navigate this violin sonata, first by explaining
that the piece is divided in three parts: the first part is for the violin and the right hand, the second part
is the piano with the right hand, and the third part is the left hand of the piano. These three parts, she
adds, are forever changing and so a musician’s role is never constant. As the sound changes, ones
attention needs to constantly be shifting as well. This can only be accomplished via anticipation.
In addition to addressing alternating roles between the solo and accompaniment, Fried discusses
Beethoven’s use of dynamics, finishing phrases with the appropriate amount of energy — especially in
this dramatic and active oeuvre, anticipating one’s bowing, and harmonic changes — among many other
crucial topics.
• The dynamics between rhythm and melody.
• The importance of listening and anticipating.
• Maintaining a tempo that unifies the movement of the piece.
• Harmonic changes.
• The value of knowing your role and having a thorough knowledge of the piano section.
