In this special election-eve episode of the Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast, host Lisa Spector demonstrates the subtle but vital differences that set professional pianists apart from amateurs: inner pulse and touch. Amid the uncertainty and stress of the moment, Lisa shares music that calms and centers, sharing the importance of an internal pulse and how the speed of pressing the keys impacts dynamics and control. Using examples from Marcello's Concerto Adagio arranged for piano by Earl Wild, Schubert’s G Major Sonata and Chopin’s C Minor Nocturne, Lisa guides listeners through tricks to refine their touch and maintain a steady inner pulse, helping pianists sound like a professional. This episode provides valuable insights to make your practice more effective and your playing more professional.
