1,000 Days of Piano - Day 69: A Little Practice

One way to practice certain pieces is to play the chords as blocked or harmonic chords instead of broken or melodic chords. I’m doing it with the Bach Gigue, and I’m doing it with the Schumann Melody. It doesn’t usually affect the quality of the accompaniment, but in the Melody you can hear some unusual harmonies in the blocked chords. Not only does it help me learn the music, but it gives me insight into the structure of the piece. A little practice can go a long way.
