Panel-ready practice tips

1.The Prokofiev Classical Symphony is a stylistic trap: it sounds like Haydn but the articulation is 20th-century precise. Each note needs its own start.
2.The tempo is very fast: practice the sixteenth-note passages at 80% with a metronome before running at speed.
3.The style demands minimal vibrato on the fast articulated passages and full vibrato on the lyrical ones. The contrast is extreme and deliberate.
4.Bow point: upper third for the fast sections. The middle of the bow will over-project and blur.
5.The piano dynamic in the opening must be maintained even under the acoustic pressure of playing fast. Record yourself and listen for the dynamic creep.
