Piano Practice Clinic with Graham Fitch (23rd June 2021)

Recording of our monthly "Practice Clinic" for June 2021 in which Graham Fitch responds to practising-related queries submitted in advance by Online Academy subscribers. Works and topics featured in this session include:
0:45 GF Handel - Gavotte in G, HWV 491 by (Bar 11) - Is the trill in bar 11 played differently to the other trills in this piece? My trills are often "louder" than the notes before and after. What practice methods can I use to keep the dynamics consistent?
06:32 Felix Mendelssohn - Venetian Gondola Song in G minor, Op. 19 No. 6 (Introduction, Bars 7 & 11) - I’m struggling with the pedalling in the introduction and the LH accompaniment from bar 7 is tense, awkward and unreliable. I also find the RH fingering in bar 11 next to impossible, because of the stretch between 5 and 4.
13:34 WA Mozart - Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 1st Mvt (Bars 59 – 62) - The octaves in measures 59-62 are difficult to play completely legato. Can you please provide some suggestions on fingering and good technique for these measures?
20:55 Sergei Rachmaninoff - Etude-tableau in G minor, Op. 33 No. 6 / 8 (Bars 26-29) - I have been unable to get this section to my satisfaction and am looking for new approaches to practising. I find it becomes a mess especially as I go on with a lack of clarity, inconsistent rhythm and accents.
