Beethoven
Rage Over a Lost Penny, Op. 129
Taught by renowned pianist
Claire Huangci
Why play Czerny and Hanon when you can play Beethoven? In this lesson, Claire Huangci shows how Beethoven's Rondo a capriccio, the so-called "Rage over a lost penny," presents a series of etudes to improve your strength and dexterity. Part Gypsy dance, part glorified study piece, Huangci walks you through every new section and variation, tackling each new technical challenge in turn. Whether you aspire to work the piece up to tempo, or just want fun patterns to practice slowly, this piece is sure to develop your fundamentals – scales, arpeggios, chords, ornaments, slurs, phrasing, articulation, dynamics, and pedal.
