How Does the Concept of 'Voice' Influence Your Interpretation of Piano Music?

When I think about 'voice' in piano music, it really influences how I play and share my feelings. It’s not just about hitting the right keys; it’s about telling a story and sharing emotions through the music. Here’s how I see it:

1. Personal Interpretation

  • Emotional Connection: Every song I play means something different to me, depending on how I feel. For example, when I play a sad song, I let my own feelings of longing or sadness come through. This makes the music a deeper reflection of who I am.

  • Style Infusion: I like to add my personal touch to songs. This might mean holding onto a note I really feel connected to or changing the speed a bit for more feeling. These small choices help the music sound more like me rather than just playing the notes.

2. Dynamic Range

  • Volume Control: One of the best ways to show my 'voice' is by playing with different volumes. Playing softly can create a warm and personal feeling, while playing loudly can bring excitement. Knowing when to play louder or softer changes how the music feels to me and the audience.

  • Coloring Notes: I enjoy trying different touches on the keys. A light touch or heavier fingers can change the mood of the piece a lot. This lets me share different feelings through the music.

3. Rhetorical Phrasing

  • Musical Sentences: Just like when we talk, music has its own rhythm. How I phrase the music can make a big difference in how the listener feels. I think of musical phrases like sentences, where some notes need to stand out, like stressed words in a conversation. Highlighting the important notes helps express my feelings in the melody.

  • Breath: Giving some silence between phrases is important. It’s like taking a breath when talking; it helps the listener take in what they’ve heard and builds excitement for what comes next.

4. Connecting with the Audience

  • Vulnerability: Sharing my 'voice' in music is very personal. When I express my interpretation, it creates a strong connection with the audience. They can feel the genuine emotions in my playing, becoming part of the experience.

  • Dialogue: I see music as a conversation. When I play, I hope to connect with my audience, inviting them to listen, think, and feel with me.

In conclusion, my 'voice' in piano music is all about expressing myself. It allows me to go beyond just playing notes and really share a piece of who I am with others.
