The thesis aims to address issues concerning technical piano playing by university students. The topic is approached through a discussion of the overall aesthetics of exercise and a survey of types of piano touch, all using specific analysis of etudes by Russian composers. Etudes by Glazunov, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Stravinsky and are the focus of the analysis. The exercise methods discussed in the text lay much better foundations for technical piano playing, highlight the importance of consciousness as the key factor in the process, and make the piano player examine the musical text with much more rigour. The core of the thesis is not only the detailed discussion of Russian etudes that are only rarely played in the Czech Republic but also a reflection on the piano exercise itself that brings the player towards efficient and meaningful work with the instrument. |
