Panel-ready practice tips

1.The opening theme is a long-breathed cantilena: most candidates rush the inner subdivisions. Internalize the quarter-note pulse and let the eighth-note motion serve it.
2.The Prokofiev style requires rhythmic precision inside lyrical phrasing: the two are not opposites here.
3.The fast passagework in the development needs wrist-level spiccato, not arm. Arm spiccato thickens and blurs at this tempo.
4.Intonation challenge: the theme in the opening sits in a register where every semi-tone is exposed. Practice with a piano drone on the tonic.
5.The second movement is often requested separately. Know it independently.
