Ideas on practicing
Nadina Mackie Jackson
As a result of preparing two particularly challenging pieces this fall (Silver Angel by Constantine Caravassilis & Sonata Concertante by Nikos Skalkottas), I am in the process of compiling & publishing my first comprehensive book on technique. And thinking a lot of what it means to practise.
If you have a musical goal and a powerful feeling of how you
want it to resound, you will find the path, or rather, the many branching
paths. Astonishingly, they will
occasionally link at a point that is not visible from your present perspective.
