An Introduction to Musical Phrasing – how to make your own decisions
Phrasing –we often hear– is at the heart of musicianship. But what exactly does ‘phrasing’ mean? What are its elements? What constitutes persuasive phrasing? Most importantly, how can *you* learn to make effective phrasing decisions? In this livestream, Emmanuel Sowicz will present an introduction to phrasing, offering some practical concepts that can help you make your interpretations more compelling and engaging. Musical examples will include music by Bach and Albéniz.

After viewing the recording of this lesson, I think I can begin to approach phrasing for the first time. The basic definition and demonstrations of the "toolbox" made a topic that has been confusing for me (for decades!!!) so much more clear. Thank you.
