By Heart: how to memorize music: Table of Contents
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/p/table-of-contents_30.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. One of the problems with blogging is that it's hard to create coherent content. That is, blogs post the newest item as the first item you will be reading.and then you have to go in reverse order to read in forward order (or something like that). This page is designed to give some sense of the order of the blog, functioning like a table of contents and, more or less, listing posts in the order they were posted. And so it begins. About laziness and memorization. Dr Liu make...

By Heart: how to memorize music: Dr. Bell asks a question
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/10/dr-bell-asks-question.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Monday, October 14, 2013. Dr Bell asks a question. All around nice-guy composer Larry Bell. Left this comment on this blog some time ago:. I already addressed part of Larry's question in my previous post. But I'll expand on it a little bit. If you've memorized well, then it shouldn't take much effort at all to bring back pieces. If you've memorized impatiently, then it's going to be a longer road. ( Remember my story. One encounter involved a rather strange weekend in New...

By Heart: how to memorize music: Memorizing Bach and his fugues
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/10/memorizing-bach-and-his-fugues.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Memorizing Bach and his fugues. In conservatory, I was taught to memorize Bach fugues by memorizing each voice separately. I remember doing this. It was absolutely nuts. I also vaguely remember bringing two voices together, then three, in all manners of possibilities. This was a long and arduous process, and, today, I really question the musicality and practicality of this approach. Be aware of the voice leading, but, since I wasn't memorizing...

By Heart: how to memorize music: Hands apart
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/10/hands-apart.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Friday, October 18, 2013. Who needs metaphors when you have reality? Much earlier in this blog. I commented on the practice of "learning" a piece before committing it to memory. This practice creates a foundation of tactile memory while also confusing the fact that "learned" should also mean "memorized.". In this blog post. I'll ask again as I've asked numerous times in this blog: What is the ultimate goal of your memorization work? As the parable says. I am Paul Cienniwa...

By Heart: how to memorize music: CONCLUSIONS: A summary of HOW
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/10/conclusions-summary-of-how.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. CONCLUSIONS: A summary of HOW. Writing a concluding summary to a blog seems counterintuitive to the dynamic nature of blogs. Likewise, writing a concluding summary to a blog on memorization seems counterintuitive to the dynamic nature of memorization. Throughout the entire process of writing this blog, I kept coming back to some very basic concepts. Going forward, I can't imagine working without these fundamental elements:. Above all, it's imp...

By Heart: how to memorize music: At what stage?
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/07/at-what-stage.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. I came upon this blog post. By pianist Alisdair Hogarth just the other day, and, had I seen it sooner, it would have fit nicely into my post. On the media's opinion of memorization. But, given that the writer makes some assumptions about the memorization process, it fits nicely into this post. As if Tommasini were referring to accompanists (or, if you will, collaborative pianists. Tactile memory is the least reliable form of memory. I'm a very go...

http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-prelude-to-why.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Friday, June 7, 2013. A prelude to Why. When I was in Chicago in April to rehearse the Bach Violin Sonatas. With Rachel Barton Pine for this month's Boston Early Music Festival, we recorded a podcast for her "Violin Adventures" series. The topic was "To Memorize or Not To Memorize, That is the Question.".

By Heart: how to memorize music: Dr. Liu makes a point
http://internalizingmusic.blogspot.com/2013/10/dr-liu-makes-point.html
By Heart: how to memorize music. Monday, October 21, 2013. Dr Liu makes a point. My colleague, baritone James Liu. Who also happens to be an MD), made the following point after an earlier post:. James wasn't the only one who picked up on my "restless colons" comment in that post. James reminds me of my conversation with violinist Rachel Barton Pine. Singers, I'd appreciate your comments about your either staged or unstaged experiences with memorization. Do the words make the process easier or harder?
