    Hello music lovers, teachers, students.

    Here comes my new project, piano studies by Streabbog (op.63) that I play on the piano while you can watch along with the music sheets, and in the description, I am going to help you to understand better the concept of each one. A free written lesson.

    As a piano teacher, I like to start to teach a new piece analyzing it. It is a lot better than just trying to read the notes. Actually, the only way to become a good performer is to understand the piece you play. So with my students, the first thing is to determine the key in which is the composition written down, and at first, glance to see the main concept; are there scales, chords, are there rhythm patterns, what is the tempo, where is the melody and where the accompaniment, etc...
    As well, we have to know some background about the composer and the musical style.
    The composer of the studies I have chosen to work on is Louis Streabbog. His real name is Jean Louis Gobbearts, but he published his piano compositions on his nom de plume, Streabbog (his surname spelled backward). He was a Belgian composer, concert pianist, and piano teacher who lived from 1835 to 1886. He was so popular that he published over 1200 piano compositions. One of the series of studies is op.63, Twelve very easy and melodious studies for piano.
    I will play two studies per video, so in the next six videos, we are going to learn about Streabbog op.63 studies.

    A Pleasant Morning work on scales in the right hand. Written in C major, in the first eight measures the scales start from C, then from it's dominant, G and again from C going up and down. The left hand has got accompaniment with the main chords (tonic, subdominant, and dominant). The next section of 8 measures works with short motifs in the right hand and makes a dialogue with the left-hand chords. The third part is the repetition of the beginning and there are a few added measures, this time scales in the left hand and to finish the study, we have steady tonic chords.
    The tempo is Allegro moderato, but I like to play it a little bit faster than suggested, more like Allegro.
    
    Soldier's March is a five fingers position scale drill for the left hand. The right hand in this study is limited to chords, in a repeated rhythmic pattern. The harmonic structure is very simple, basically tonic and dominant. Only in the second part, there are more chords ( besides C major and G major there are D minor, A minor, E minor, and D major chords - just one of each one). The third section is the exact repetition of the first part. The tempo is Allegro and is a happy marching piece.
    

    This is the analysis of the first two studies. If you found it helpful, consider reposting it so to others can see it.
