Different ways of playing music can really change how we feel about rhythm and speed on the piano. Here’s what I’ve noticed:
Classical vs. Jazz: Classical music usually has strict speeds. This means I try to keep a steady beat. But with jazz, there’s a lot more freedom to change the speed. I can speed up or slow down, which makes it feel more lively.
Romantic Era: Composers like Chopin let us express feelings. I've learned to play with rubato here. This means I can stretch some notes and hurry through others. It helps create a deep emotional connection.
Modern Styles: Some modern music, especially minimalist pieces, have a calming speed. I focus on shifting the loudness and rhythm slowly, which helps listeners feel more involved.
In summary, trying out these different styles has taught me that being flexible with rhythm and speed is important to make a piece feel special and truly mine!
