Dealing With Mistakes

Find (continued)

While note errors are the easiest to detect, you should be able to identify any kind of mistake. The following, for example, would need correction just as urgently as a note error:

• incorrect rhythm
• phrasing error
• registration problem
• inefficient fingering or pedaling
• inconsistent pulse
• musically unconvincing ritard
• inappropriate articulation
• unintended over-legato
• wrong tempo at meter or tempo change
