RHYTHM
In rhythmically complex music such as Messian, Schoenberg, Scriabin
and many contemporary composers, it can be helpful for students to try executing the rhythm away
from the piano in order to eliminate the added challenge of trying
to get the correct rhythm and pitch at the same time.
The same rhythmical configurations will be interpreted with
different degrees of precision depending on the particular style
or period of music.
