John, I greatly enjoyed your lesson video. You showed how you play a staccato with a very light touch.
You demonstrated a legato by playing more forward on the baton.
Now, please explain how you play a marcato tenuto, as shown on this sample of "IN DULCE JUBILO II, by Roy Hamlin Johnson
(copyright 1970 by the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. Re-scored and handled by John Gouwens 2002)
On the opening Ab, I see a marcato tenuto. My instinct is to roll my hand forward on the baton, then do a light, sharp snap of the wrist.
How do you play it?
Also, on the next Ab to Gb, the bracket seems to indicate playing both notes with the right hand.
I can understand the melodic line here, my instinct would be to play right hand to left hand, then play the next Eb with my left hand.
I would not want to cut short the marcato tenuto on the Ab. Also, it looks like the Gb and Eb are both accompanying notes, so why not play them both with the left hand?
Any suggestions on how to play the marcato tenuto, then the staccato while still keeping a smooth line?
You're still playing a phrase here, you don't want it to sound like a hiccup!
Is there any reason why the melody notes are not all stems up and the accompanying notes all stems down? That might make the phrasing clearer.
Since I am the first to post a musical sample on this forum, please let me know it it comes across clearly on your end and if I have done it according to correct copyright protocol.
