IGCSE- Accuracy (of pitch and rhythm):

Interpretation:

My performance was accurate in most of the time. There was only 1
piano slip. Although the rhythm went was incorrect all through the
performance. In some time, the violin part slowed down, causing the piano
part to slow down. I can improve on this by practicing more with the violin
part, therefore we will be in sync and I can play in the correct rhythm throughout
the performance.

My performance felt like it was on the same tone and didn’t have any
dynamics as if it’s empty. Some pedal and increase of volume can be heard but
it needs to be concentrated on more because the violin cover it in the
background. For improvement, I will perform the piece to give it a feeling
and a secure sense of style by adding and emphasizing the dynamics so it’s
not lost behind the loud sound of the violin.

Criteria D: Responding

During the performance,
some parts sound like both the violin and piano are in sync and playing as an
ensemble. But in some other parts I get the feeling that the two instruments
and doing separate parts and it does not sound too pleasing to hear them
together. To improve on this, my partner and I will test many ways of playing
this piece to see which sounds the most active. I feel like I have used many
techniques and skills In my piano part which gives the performance an
attractive atmosphere

My overall pear and
self-reflection include what strength were present in the performance and how
these strength can be maintained. As well as mentioning the weaknesses of the
performances right now, and ways to improve these weaknesses to achieve a
better mark for the final performance.

Mentioning the title and composer would be useful for you to keep a track of your performances... It would be good to post your recording also!
ReplyDeleteMore Difficult Level to adjust RAW mark.
iGCSE Accuracy = 11
It is difficult to mark accuracy when a score has not been provided… I think this is a more difficult piece, but could do with the score to be absolutely sure. The performance appears to be accurate and fluent with good use of performance directions (I think, no score to confirm).
iGCSE Interpretation & Ensemble Skill = 16
The candidate works well with the soloist and is able to respond to the use of rubato. The candidate balances well and is able to make the adjustment from following to leading as required. Lovely dynamic contrasts and good balance generally.
Total Raw = 27
Total after scaling 30/30
MYP Criteria B: Developing Skills
The candidate demonstrates an excellent application of skills, technically & musically. There is a lot to commend here. Well done - but remember, we need to use a proper piece of solo & accompaniment. I am sure you will gain the same excellent result as you will apply the same commitment to your practice.
MARK: 8
OWN: 4
ReplyDeleteI think you have been too harsh on yourself in your reflection comments. In terms of accuracy, I would have to see the music notation to agree or disagree with you. I thought your balance was good on the whole. In your Criteria D section try to be more descriptive about the skills you want to develop and, more importantly, how you intend to go about it.
Combined Mark: 6
