拿到乐谱之后：把练曲变成可检查的小项目
先选一个小片段，说清楚想让它听起来怎样，再练、检查、接回音乐。今天的小目标可以是“这一段的休止不抢拍”，不必同时解决整首曲子的所有问题。
核心学习方向是看到记谱，逐步预想它怎样响；琴键映射和项目计划帮助建立并核对这个预期。
这是本库原创的练习路线，不是原书的完整改写，也不是已实现的自动钢琴导师。可以配合传统声学钢琴、纸谱和自己的耳朵使用，不需要 MIDI。先认识拍与音名，再按需要打开节奏图、时值图、和弦图。没有具体谱本时，不能确定某首作品的逐小节任务；同名作品的改编、调性、指法和小节号可能不同。
先做一轮，再逐步补全
确认谱本和目标 → 找出一个障碍 → 做一个小任务 → 核对结果 → 接回前后文 → 下次再试。
下面的 PP01–PP12 是可重复使用的任务卡，不是每次必须全部完成的线性课程。第一次先做 PP01、PP02，再选择一个小任务。PP11 的反馈贯穿全程；PP12 的连续演奏检验整合，不能用几个成功小片段替代。暂时不懂的和声名称可以标“待确认”，不妨碍先把已确认的音与节奏读清楚。

这些是出处支持，不等于独立实验证明某方法对所有人有效。下文的记谱定义与算术标为【通用乐理】；具体练习顺序、任务卡和反馈策略标为【本库综合】。已核原文中也有相互牵制的建议：§59倾向先完成分手，§52允许随时试合手。我们保留条件，不能只摘最绝对的一句话。详情在来源审计与证据边界。
PP01｜确定这次究竟要完成什么
【本库综合】**先有：**合法可用、看得清的具体谱本。记录作品、编曲者或编辑者、版本、页码、小节号规则，另记跳转后的演奏顺序。把目标写成“看谱弹一个乐段”“背奏一首曲子”或“准备一次演出”，不要混成同一个验收标准。Yiruma 的 Kiss the Rain 与 River Flows in You 尚无指定谱本，本页没有编造它们的小节或速度。
**任务与证据：**写一张项目卡：范围、当前会什么、尚不懂什么、目标声音、预计练习窗口。能指着谱说明从哪里开始、在哪里结束、重复几次。**复测与接回：**下一次先确认仍用同一版本；换谱、改变目标或跳转顺序后重开相关检查。预计时间可以改，截止日期不能证明已经学会。
PP02｜先把时间与符号读清楚
【本库综合】**先有：**PP01 的片段。逐项确认谱号、调号、临时记号、八度、休止、延音线、圆滑线、拍号、速度文字和反复记号；陌生符号先查读谱笔记。先数、说或轻敲片段的起音与休止，再找琴键；敲击本身不能验证持音或指间连奏。
【通用乐理】每分钟60个四分音符单位与每分钟60个二分音符单位不是同一速度。前者一个四分音符1秒，后者0.5秒。在常规6/8复合二拍的数法中，一大拍是附点四分音符；“八分音符=180”和“附点四分音符=60”可描述同一时间尺度，分组仍须保留。
**任务与证据：**写出拍单位与速度，再标每个起音落在哪个单位上；逐小节核对音符、休止与跨小节延音线。**复测与接回：**不看上次答案重数；随后在琴上核对音高、持续和释放。弱起、不完整小节或特殊记谱要按实际上下文处理，不能一律填满。
PP03｜找重复，也找变化
【本库综合】**先有：**能定位与读出所选片段。用 A、B 等自定义标签标出重复材料，比较每次的音高、节奏、低音、进入与离开方式、力度和奏法。按现有知识识别旋律、伴奏、乐句边界、调性与和弦候选；不会命名时先记录实际音与听到的停顿。和弦根音不一定在最低处，见和声笔记。
**任务与证据：**给每个“相同”标记一条相同证据，再给差异留一行。**复测与接回：**从另一次出现处开始，连同进入和退出一起试；只有音型相似不能自动继承“已完成”。结构分析是练习导航，不能代替逐处核对；指法也要看前后文。
PP04｜先解决会阻塞后续的问题
【本库综合】**先有：**PP02/03 的未知项和困难点。把困难拆成能检查的问题：不认音、拍子算不清、移位、双手对齐、突出旋律，或无法连续连接。优先处理影响多个片段的问题；若难段需要尚不会的基础，先做更简单的前置任务。可以很早接触难点，但不要求立即完整弹它。
**任务与证据：**写“任务 X 需要先会 Y”，并列出可行的简化版本。一次只选一个要观察的变化。**复测与接回：**Y 在单独条件下做成后，立刻回到 X 检查是否真的有帮助；未帮助就改假设，不以重复次数充当进步。
PP05｜小段可以很短，连接要另练
【本库综合】**先有：**片段边界、音与时间已确认。选一个可控制的小单位，必要时只有两个音；让它含有下段的开始，也检查它如何从前段进入。边界由任务决定，不必永远在小节线上。
**任务与证据：**分别记录“小段本身”“前段→小段”“小段→后段”的结果。连接时保留应有的节拍，不额外加准备停顿。**复测与接回：**下一次从前段开始，并从小段内部另选入口；连成更长乐句后复核呼吸、力度和方向。允许分块练习时停下，不能把这种停顿悄悄当作原谱的休止。
PP06｜分手是工具，合手也需要单独学习
【本库综合】**先有：**PP02 的时间关系与 PP05 的片段。若另一手遮住了问题，先分手；若两手已经能在目标条件下协调，不必为程序而拆开。合手困难时可以只加另一手的一个关键起音，或暂时简化一手，再逐步恢复原谱。每次明确删了什么、保留了哪些时间和指法条件。
**任务与证据：**能在时间轴上指出两手何时同时、何时先后，并在所选练习速度下实现它。分手各自成功不等于合手成功。**复测与接回：**换回完整音列、原有奏法与前后段后再验收；简化后的成功只记在简化任务上。参见原创E16/E19。
PP07｜速度要有单位、用途和退路
【本库综合】**先有：**节奏明确、片段可控制。分开记录谱面原有速度、你的暂定演奏目标、今天的练习速度；若谱上只有文字，暂定数字是解释选择，不是作曲家给出的数字。按当前能保持音、节奏、声音目标与可控动作的条件选起点。过慢若改变关键动作，另设更短或更简单的目标动作任务；不能把“目标动作”误解为新手必须马上原速。
**任务与证据：**一次只改变速度或复杂度中的一项，试后记录哪里改变；达到任务标准才考虑下一步，失控就缩短、简化或降低速度。没有人人适用的固定 BPM 增量、百分比或练习天数。**复测与接回：**下次在原条件复测，再扩段或逐步接近目标；慢练成功不自动证明目标速度可用，短段快速成功也不自动证明能整首连续弹。
PP08｜大声、小声与谁在说话
【通用乐理】力度记号描述相对强弱；渐强是渐渐变强，不等于加快。不同声部可以有不同突出程度；voicing 在这里指音量层次，不是和弦转位。
【本库综合】**先有：**音与节奏可辨。把印刷的 p、f、渐强等抄到计划里并标来源；另外写“我想让哪条线更清楚”，这是解释目标。先单独唱、想或弹出旋律，再加可控制的伴奏，检查其是否被遮住。
**任务与证据：**听出预定的层次，同时检查节拍与其余音符没有因此消失。录音比较宜保持设备位置和设置，不能把自动增益后的波形大小直接当作演奏力度。**复测与接回：**从前句进入再做同样层次，换回原谱全部声部后再听；不要为了“更响”强迫一种手型或力度动作。
PP09｜连与断改变音之间的关系
【通用乐理】连奏 legato 追求连接感，断奏 staccato 使音相对分离；断奏的实际短长取决于语境，不是统一减半。延音线 tie 连接同音的时值，圆滑线 slur 指示乐句或奏法关系，不能一概同译。踏板可能延续手指松开后的声音，所以手指释放与听到的断开也不是一回事。
【本库综合】**先有：**奏法记号和 PP02 的起音网格。用可轻松控制的两个不同音，分别尝试连与断；保持下一音在原来的时间进入，只改变连接或释放目标。踏板另设任务，先知道想保留或清除什么声音。
**任务与证据：**能听出两种关系，同时数出相同起音时刻；不据声音猜某根手指或关节怎样运动。**复测与接回：**恢复真实速度、声部与踏板后再核对。具体动作需要合适示范和观察；课中某个小技巧只有匹配任务、手型和条件时才作为候选。
PP10｜离开琴键，也能检查自己知道什么
【本库综合】**先有：**已经核过的短片段。看谱回想节奏、旋律方向或琴键位置；不必强迫自己立刻拥有清晰的内在音高。先从一个可回答的问题开始，例如“下一处休止在哪里”。然后回谱或琴键核对，把不确定之处标出来。
**任务与证据：**能说明一个入口、下一事件及连接方向，再实际检验。背谱是某些项目的目标，不是所有学习的资格。**复测与接回：**下一次从不同入口提取，再接回音乐；想对、说对与弹对分别记录。这里不承诺绝对音高、消除焦虑或永不忘谱。
要检查从谱建立声音的能力，应另用未听过的可控短谱：先记节奏和音程预测，给一个参考音，预想或尝试唱出，再到琴上核对。首调唱名、固定唱名、相对音感、绝对音感和记住录音分别记录；详见内听路线与原创比较。这是本库设计的迁移检查，尚未完成真实学习者效果试验。
PP11｜让反馈告诉你下一步做什么
【本库综合】**先有：**一句明确标准。每次尝试后用“观察→假设→下一步→再检查”：例如“连接处多停了一拍→也许准备下一位置太晚→只练前音到落点并保留拍子→再试原连接”。“也许”保留为假设；不能由一次失误诊断唯一原因。
可选反馈源是自己边弹边听、事后录音、清楚拍到目标动作的视频或老师观察。声学钢琴可以这样练；麦克风不能单凭音频确认指法、手势、关节负担或无伤风险。本页没有实际测量或实现自动反馈。舒服、可控与疼痛等身体感受由演奏者报告；出现疼痛就停止该动作，不能用速度成绩抵消它。
**任务与证据：**记录具体位置、观察到的现象、证据类型与仍不知道什么，下一次只检验一个可操作的改变。**复测与接回：**改变后不仅重试孤立处，也回到原上下文。若没有更好，缩小问题或请能观察演奏的人帮助，不把每次失败都归咎于练得不够。
PP12｜把“练会一段”推进到“能用它演奏”
【本库综合】**先有：**相关小任务已有证据，反复与跳转顺序清楚。分开做修复与连续演奏：修复时可以停下来；模拟演奏时按预定范围继续，在结束后记下问题，再回修复任务。选可重新进入的音乐入口，练如何接回，不随意跳过未知小节。
**任务与证据：**按照 PP01 的目标完成有上下文的一遍，记录实际速度单位、谱本、重复路径、声音目标与失误后的处理。剪辑的最佳片段不能替代连续演奏证据。**复测与接回：**下次在尚未重新反复练该片段之前检查保留情况；先做正常身体准备，不要求僵冷或不舒服地弹。具体间隔由项目安排，“下次”不是已验证的最佳间隔。后续复习重新核音、节奏、表达和连接；一次通过是当前条件下的证据，不是永久掌握。

以下字段与状态是【本库综合】，并非原书给出的管理软件规范。
| 字段 | 填什么 |
|---|---|
| 对象 | 谱本／页／小节与拍位置／声部／进入与退出 |
| 依据 | 印刷指示、来源建议或自己的解释；不要混写 |
| 目标 | 一个能观察的声音或时间关系 |

| 证据 | 这次实际发生了什么；谁听或看；不确定点 |
| 下一步 | 保持、改条件、缩小任务或寻求示范 |
| 复测 | 下次时间与同条件结果；接回乐句的结果 |
状态可以写“待澄清／可尝试／当场达到／下次保留／已接回／需重查”。“已接回”仍要看整段或整首目标；不能只用勾选数量计算音乐完成度。
用原创小例子试一次
【本库综合·原创例子】使用 E19 的两小节音列：D4 E4 F4 A4 | G4 F4 E4 D4，全部四分音符，4/4，无踏板。第一小节四分音符=60，目标是两小节都维持此速度，暂不加表现性速度变化。D4 是中央C上方的D；先确认音名再找键，不需要 MIDI 乐器。
【通用乐理】把第一音起点设为0秒，起音依次在0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7秒；若完整保持末音四分时值，最后在8秒结束。连接处是第一小节A4到第二小节G4：两个起音之间1秒，而不是另加1秒准备时间。E19 的删音版本以四分休止替代第三音：仍有8个时间单位，只有7次起音。
【本库综合】先只检查连接，不同时追求提速和更强的对比。若第一遍连接延迟，记录发生了什么，缩成边界两音加前后文再试；下次再查保留。把第一小节逐渐增强、第二小节逐渐减弱作为本例自选解释时，另开 PP08 任务，不宣称这是任何原作品的记号。这里的数值是可复算的教学条件，不是已经完成的演奏实验。
原书和译稿也需要检查
【翻译复核】§59中文第6段把规划的因果方向反转，本路线已改为“由后续目标决定开头怎样准备”。§52中文第27段把原文普通的 body 写成“展开部”，会多加一种形式分析；这里用“中段”，不把作者的叙事自动升格为奏鸣曲式判断。
§54中文第2段把 cut time 写成“切分拍”。cut time 通常是二二拍／alla breve；切分是 syncopation。原著的谱面断言也不能直接照搬：莫扎特基金会公开的NMA谱页24在 Alla Turca 开头明确印2/4，与FOPP实129页所称cut time不符。本次只核此处拍号，不宣称已校完整乐章或所有版本；没有复制源谱图。
固定天数、必须超速分手、总在近原速合手、作曲家意图、踏板史和“绝对消除失误”等强主张没有成为本路线的普遍规则。我们的作品目标、有限依据、解释选择与剩余问题都应看得见；第一阶段全来源覆盖及最终审校仍未完成。

把解释变成可核对的任务
三张练习决策卡把拍速／密度、低音配置与两和弦选择拆成预测、比较、即时检查和延后接回；技巧诊断卡TC06与TC07分别检查旋律持续音和两手不同释放。它们是本库原创应用，不能因引用教材就声称效果已验证。FOPP56–58的作品解释中，历史意图、特定版次优劣、无限速度／耐力与唯一踏板方案仍是未验证或有争议的作者主张；不用它们替代用户实际谱本与能力评估。

From a new score to a practice project you can check
Choose a small passage, say what you want it to sound like, then practice, check and reconnect it to the music. Today's goal might be “keep this rest in time”; it need not solve every problem in the whole piece at once.
The central learning direction is to anticipate how notation sounds; key mapping and project planning help build and check that expectation.
This is our original practice route, not a full rewrite of the textbook or an implemented automatic piano tutor. It works with an acoustic piano, a paper score and your ears; MIDI is unnecessary. Begin with beat and note names, then use the rhythm diagram, duration diagram or chord diagram when needed. Without a particular edition, piece-specific measure tasks cannot be determined; arrangements, keys, fingerings and measure numbers may differ under the same title.
Try one cycle, then build it out
Confirm edition and goal → identify one obstacle → do a small task → check the result → reconnect the context → try again next time.
PP01–PP12 below are reusable task cards, not a linear course that must be completed every session. Begin with PP01 and PP02, then choose a small task. PP11 feedback runs throughout; PP12 continuous performance checks integration, which several successful fragments cannot establish. Mark unfamiliar harmonic names “to confirm”; that need not prevent you from reading already confirmed notes and rhythms clearly.
What supports this route
The cover and copyright page identify BOOK-FOPP3 / PDF-FOPP as Chuan C. Chang's Fundamentals of Piano Practice, third edition, 2016-07-28, ISBN 9781523287222. The eaStudio piano-textbook project contains 85 English extracted sections and 85 Chinese drafts; file presence does not establish complete translation review. “Physical” below counts PDF pages from the cover; “printed” is the actual footer, not the section number.
| Evidence and exact location | Short account of the author's position | Use and limits in this route |
|---|---|---|
FOPP-03, physical 14–15 / printed 13–14 | Choose interesting music, survey structure and estimate work | PP01/03; time estimates can change and do not promise learning in a fixed number of days |
FOPP-07, physical 20–21 / printed 19–20 | Prioritize difficulties; easier material may come first if it helps later work; overlap segments | PP04/05; difficult-first must respect prerequisites rather than bypass basic rhythm |
FOPP-06, physical 19 / printed 18; FOPP-52, physical 122–123 / printed 121–122 | Separate hands can isolate tasks; trying hands together is also allowed, with simplification when confused | PP06; completing all separate-hand work or exceeding target tempo is not an entry requirement |
FOPP-22, physical 51 / printed 50; FOPP-12, physical 30 / printed 29 | Slow work needs explicit observation goals; tempo difficulties warrant reviewing the method | PP07; this does not establish a single cause for every speed limit |
FOPP-37, physical 87 / printed 86; FOPP-38, physical 88 / printed 87 | Add the other hand or omitted notes progressively | PP06; record simplified and original versions separately; removing a note does not remove its time |
FOPP-52, physical 123 / printed 122; FOPP-54, physical 130 / printed 129 | Attend to rhythm, dynamics and articulation early | PP02/08/09; fixed timelines, near-target-tempo hand combination and universal pedal bans are not adopted |
FOPP-53, physical 126–128 / printed 125–127, especially physical 127 | The author explains works through short motifs and fingering patterns; similar motifs may need different fingerings | PP03; claims about Bach's intentions and graded difficulty are author inferences, not established history |
FOPP-15, physical 38–39 / printed 37–38; FOPP-45, physical 103–104 / printed 102–103 | Mentally recalling music can itself be practiced | PP10; vivid inner hearing does not automatically establish execution, absolute pitch or accurate memory |
FOPP-47, physical 107 / printed 106; FOPP-49, physical 118 / printed 117 | Observe performance through recordings, consider continuing after errors and review afterward | PP11/12; “play faster and louder after errors” is not adopted as a general rule |
FOPP-59, physical 149–150 / printed 148–149 | Work backward from goals through preparation, execution, checking, completion and maintenance | Supports the framework; task IDs, states, evidence formats and retest criteria below are our design |
PDF-PC, physical 17 / printed 16; PC-013 stills at 218, 226 seconds | Staccato choices depend on musical needs | PP09; handbook and selected stills checked, without complete listening or moving-video review |
PDF-PC, physical 20 / printed 19; PC-016 stills at 59, 91, 450 seconds | Notes within a chord can have different prominence | PP08; stills do not establish acoustical causality or one prescription for every hand |
PDF-PC, physical 36 / printed 35; PC-029 stills at 130, 138, 153, 165, 205 seconds | Slow practice should examine its relationship to target movements | PP07/11; stills cannot validate complete motion, effectiveness or safety |
This is source support, not independent experimental proof that every method works for everyone. Definitions and arithmetic below are labeled [General theory]; specific sequences, task cards and feedback strategies are [Our synthesis]. Reviewed passages also pull in different directions: §59 favors completing separate-hand work first, whereas §52 allows trying hands together at any time. We retain the conditions rather than extracting the most absolute sentence. See the source audit and evidence limits.
PP01 | Decide what this project is meant to accomplish
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: a legally available, readable, specific edition. Record the work, arranger or editor, edition, pages and measure-numbering convention; separately record the performance order after jumps. Choose a goal such as “play a section from the score,” “perform a piece from memory” or “prepare a performance”; these require different acceptance criteria. No edition of Yiruma's Kiss the Rain or River Flows in You has been specified, so this page invents no measures or tempos for them.
Task and evidence: make a project card stating scope, current skills, unknowns, intended sound and estimated practice window. Point to the start, ending and repeat count on the score. Retest and integration: next time, confirm the same edition; reopen relevant checks after a score, goal or route change. Estimates may change; a deadline does not establish learning.
PP02 | Clarify time and symbols first
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: the PP01 passage. Confirm clefs, key signature, accidentals, octaves, rests, ties, slurs, meter, tempo words and repeat signs; use the reading notes for unfamiliar symbols. Count, speak or lightly tap onsets and rests before finding the keys; tapping alone cannot check sustained notes or finger legato.
[General theory] 60 quarter-note units per minute and 60 half-note units per minute are different tempos. A quarter note lasts 1 second in the former and 0.5 seconds in the latter. In the conventional compound-duple reading of 6/8, a main beat is a dotted quarter: “eighth note = 180” and “dotted quarter = 60” can describe the same time scale, while grouping still matters.
Task and evidence: write the beat unit and tempo, then locate each onset on that grid; check notes, rests and ties across barlines measure by measure. Retest and integration: count again without the previous answer, then check pitches, sustain and release at the piano. Upbeats, incomplete measures and unusual notation need their actual context, not an automatic fill-every-measure rule.
PP03 | Find repetition and differences
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: locating and reading the selected passage. Label repeated material A, B and so on, comparing pitch, rhythm, bass, entry and exit, dynamics and articulation at each occurrence. Use what you know to identify melody, accompaniment, phrase boundaries, tonal context and possible chords; if names are unfamiliar, first record actual notes and heard pauses. A chord root need not be the lowest note; see harmony.
Task and evidence: support every “same” label with an observation and leave a line for differences. Retest and integration: start at another occurrence with its entry and exit; a similar pattern cannot automatically inherit “completed” status. Structural analysis guides practice but does not replace checking each occurrence; fingering also depends on context.
PP04 | Address what blocks later work
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: unknowns and difficulties from PP02/03. Turn each difficulty into a checkable question: note recognition, counting, a shift, hand coordination, melody prominence or continuous joining. Prioritize problems affecting several passages; when a difficult passage needs a missing basic skill, do the easier prerequisite first. Encounter difficulties early without requiring immediate complete performance of them.
Task and evidence: write “task X needs Y first” and a feasible simplified version. Observe one change at a time. Retest and integration: after Y works alone, return to X and check whether it actually helped; if it did not, revise the hypothesis instead of treating repetition counts as progress.
PP05 | Segments may be tiny; joins need their own practice
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: confirmed boundaries, notes and timing. Choose a controllable unit, perhaps only two notes; include the next segment's beginning and check entry from the preceding segment. Task needs determine boundaries, which need not always coincide with barlines.
Task and evidence: record results separately for “segment alone,” “previous segment → this segment” and “this segment → next segment.” Preserve the intended pulse through joins without an extra preparation pause. Retest and integration: next time, start in the preceding segment and try another entry within the segment; after forming a longer phrase, recheck breathing, dynamics and direction. Pausing during segmented practice is allowed; silently turning that pause into a written rest is not.
PP06 | Separate hands are a tool; coordination is another task
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: PP02 timing relationships and the PP05 segment. Separate hands if the other hand obscures the problem; if coordination already works under target conditions, separation is not a procedural obligation. When combining is difficult, add just one important onset from the other hand or temporarily simplify a hand, then restore the score progressively. State what was omitted and which timing and fingering conditions were retained.
Task and evidence: locate simultaneous and successive hand events on a timeline, then realize them at the chosen practice tempo. Success in each hand separately does not establish success together. Retest and integration: restore the full notes, articulation and surrounding segments before accepting the complete task; success in the reduction belongs only to that reduction. See original E16/E19.
PP07 | Tempo needs a unit, a purpose and a way back
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: clear rhythm and a controllable segment. Record printed tempo, provisional performance target and today's practice tempo separately. If the score has only words, a provisional number is an interpretation, not a composer's number. Start where notes, rhythm, intended sound and controllable motion can be maintained. If excessive slowness changes a crucial movement, create a shorter or simpler target-movement task; this does not mean beginners must immediately play at performance speed.
Task and evidence: change tempo or complexity one at a time and record what changed; consider a next step only when the task criteria are met. Shorten, simplify or slow down when control is lost. There is no universal BPM increment, percentage or learning timeline. Retest and integration: retest the same conditions next time before extending the segment or approaching the target; slow success does not establish target-tempo ability, and a fast fragment does not establish a continuous whole piece.
PP08 | Loud, soft and which voice is speaking
[General theory] Dynamic signs describe relative intensity; crescendo means growing louder, not faster. Voices may have different prominence; voicing here means dynamic balance, not chord inversion.
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: discernible notes and rhythm. Copy printed p, f and crescendo indications into the plan with their source; separately state “which line should be clearer” as an interpretive goal. Sing, imagine or play the melody alone, then add manageable accompaniment and check whether it obscures the line.
Task and evidence: hear the intended balance while checking that pulse and the other notes have not disappeared. For recordings, keep device position and settings consistent when possible; waveform size after automatic gain adjustment is not a direct measure of playing dynamics. Retest and integration: enter from the previous phrase and listen again after restoring every written voice; do not force one hand shape or movement merely to become louder.
PP09 | Connected and detached change the relationship between notes
[General theory] Legato seeks connection; staccato separates notes relatively. Actual staccato length depends on context rather than a universal halving rule. A tie joins durations of the same pitch; a slur indicates phrasing or articulation relationships and must not be conflated with it. Pedal can prolong sound after finger release, so finger release and an audible gap are also different.
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: articulation signs and the PP02 onset grid. With two different notes you can control comfortably, try connected and detached versions; keep the next onset at its original time while changing connection or release. Give pedal its own task, first identifying the sound to retain or clear.
Task and evidence: hear the two relationships while counting identical onsets; do not infer a particular finger or joint movement from sound. Retest and integration: restore actual tempo, voices and pedal, then check again. Physical movements need suitable demonstration and observation; a tutorial trick is a candidate only when it matches the task, hand and conditions.
PP10 | Check what you know away from the keys
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: a checked short passage. Look at the score and recall rhythm, melodic direction or key locations; clear internal pitch need not be forced immediately. Start with an answerable question such as “where is the next rest?” Then check the score or keys and mark uncertainty.
Task and evidence: describe an entry, the next event and the direction of the join, then test them physically. Memorization is a goal for some projects, not an entrance requirement for all learning. Retest and integration: retrieve from another entry next time and reconnect the music; imagined, spoken and played success are separate records. No absolute pitch, elimination of anxiety or permanent immunity to forgetting is promised.
To check notation-to-sound ability, also use an unheard, manageable short score: record rhythm and interval predictions first, take a reference pitch, imagine or try singing, then check at the piano. Keep movable do, fixed do, relative pitch, absolute pitch and memory of a recording separate; see the inner-hearing route and original comparison. This is our transfer-check design, without a completed learner-effectiveness trial.
PP11 | Make feedback specify the next action
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: one explicit criterion. After an attempt, use “observation → hypothesis → next action → recheck”: for example, “the join gained a beat → perhaps preparation for the next position was late → practice the preceding note to the landing while keeping the pulse → retry the original join.” “Perhaps” remains a hypothesis; one mistake cannot identify a unique cause.
Feedback can come from listening while playing, a later recording, video clearly showing the target movement or a teacher's observation. This works with an acoustic piano; a microphone alone cannot confirm fingering, gestures, joint loading or freedom from injury. This page has neither measured nor implemented automatic feedback. The player reports comfort, control and pain; stop the movement if pain occurs, rather than offsetting it with a tempo score.
Task and evidence: record location, observation, evidence type and remaining unknowns; test one actionable change next. Retest and integration: after the change, retry both the isolated spot and its original context. If it does not improve, narrow the question or ask someone who can observe the playing; do not attribute every failure to insufficient practice.
PP12 | Turn “a learned fragment” into usable performance
[Our synthesis] Prerequisite: evidence for the relevant small tasks and a clear repeat/jump route. Separate repair from continuous performance: stop when repairing, but follow the chosen scope during a performance simulation, log problems afterward and return to repair tasks. Choose musical re-entry points and practice reconnecting rather than skipping arbitrary unknown measures.
Task and evidence: complete a contextualized take against the PP01 goal, recording the actual tempo unit, edition, repeat route, intended sound and handling of errors. An edit of best fragments does not establish continuous performance. Retest and integration: next time, check retention before repeatedly relearning that passage; use normal physical preparation first, without requiring cold or uncomfortable playing. Schedule the interval for the project; “next time” is not a validated optimal spacing interval. Later review rechecks notes, rhythm, expression and joins; passing once is evidence under current conditions, not permanent mastery.
A task card to copy
These fields and states are [Our synthesis], not a management-software specification supplied by the book.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Object | Edition / page / measure and beat location / voice / entry and exit |
| Basis | Printed instruction, source advice or personal interpretation; keep them distinct |
| Goal | One observable sound or timing relationship |
| Prerequisite and method | What is needed first; separate-hand, reduced, rhythm or joining task |
| Conditions | Beat unit + tempo; reading or memory; pedal; reduction |
| Evidence | What actually happened; who listened or watched; uncertainties |
| Next step | Retain, change conditions, shorten the task or seek demonstration |
| Retest | Next check and result under the same conditions; result inside the phrase |
Possible states are “needs clarification / ready to try / achieved now / retained next time / reconnected / recheck needed.” “Reconnected” still needs evaluation against the section or whole-piece goal; checkbox counts alone do not measure musical completion.
Try it with an original miniature
[Our synthesis · original example] Use the two-bar E19 line: D4 E4 F4 A4 | G4 F4 E4 D4, all quarter notes, 4/4, without pedal. Start the first measure at quarter note = 60 and aim to retain this tempo through both measures, without expressive tempo changes yet. D4 is D above middle C; identify notes before finding keys, without needing a MIDI instrument.
[General theory] Set the first onset to 0 seconds: the onsets fall at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 seconds; sustaining the last note for its full quarter-note value ends at 8 seconds. The join is A4 at the end of the first bar to G4 at the start of the second: 1 second between onsets, not an additional 1-second preparation pause. E19's omitted-note version replaces the third note with a quarter rest: still 8 time units, but 7 onsets.
[Our synthesis] Check the join alone before pursuing both faster playing and stronger contrast. If it is late in the first attempt, record the observation, reduce to the boundary notes with context and retry; check retention next time. If you choose a crescendo in the first bar and a diminuendo in the second as this example's personal interpretation, open a separate PP08 task without claiming those markings belong to an existing composition. These numbers are checkable teaching conditions, not a completed performance experiment.
The original and translation also need checking
[Translation review] Chinese §59 paragraph 6 reverses the planning relation; this route corrects it to “later goals determine the initial preparation.” Chinese §52 paragraph 27 renders the ordinary English body as a formal development section, adding an analytical claim; we use “middle section” without automatically turning the author's narrative into a sonata-form analysis.
Chinese §54 paragraph 2 renders cut time as syncopation. Cut time normally means 2/2 / alla breve; syncopation is a different concept. The original's score claim also requires checking: NMA page 24 published by the Mozarteum Foundation clearly prints 2/4 at the opening of Alla Turca, unlike the cut-time description on FOPP physical page 129. Only this meter was checked here, not the complete movement or every edition; no source score image is republished.
Fixed timelines, mandatory overspeed separate-hand work, always combining near target tempo, compositional intentions, pedal history and promises to eliminate errors have not become universal rules in this route. Piece goals, bounded evidence, interpretive choices and open questions should remain visible; phase-one source coverage and final QA are still incomplete.

Use the technique diagnostic cards to turn sound problems into observable small experiments. There are currently nine cards (TC01–TC09); the full tutorial technique corpus is not distilled yet. Complete source qualifications remain in the public ledger.
Turn explanations into checkable tasks
Three practice-decision cards separate tempo/density, low voicings and two-chord choices into prediction, comparison, immediate checks and delayed reintegration. Technique cards TC06 and TC07 test sustained melody and different hand releases. These are original applications; citing a book does not establish efficacy. Historical intention, edition superiority, unlimited speed/endurance and an exclusively correct pedal plan in FOPP56–58 remain unverified or disputed author claims. They do not replace the user's actual score edition and capability assessment.
Added evidence mapping: lesson goals and feedback
FOPP-62, physical 160–162/printed 159–161, supports the author’s advice to separate new-piece practice methods, returns to old repertoire and performance preparation. FOPP-66, physical 173–174/printed 172–173, discusses definitions, records and individual adaptation. PP status fields, delayed retests and acceptance procedures remain our project design, not claims that every field comes from those sections. See PD04–PD05 for separate understanding/discrimination/execution records and TC08–TC09 for reconnecting voice targets and keyboard location to real phrases. Source generalizations about high-register prominence, internalization within days and fixed practice time are not promoted to universal standards.
