Rock & Bach: My Teacher's Got Nasty Chops Bro!

My Teacher's Got Nasty Chops Bro!

Kangmin Shin — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:27:00 +0000

The summer I spent in Boston I worked with a Harvard Law student who was an accomplished flautist and a ranter of the first order. I remember one particularly funny diatribe about jockish brass players and their endless talk of “chops” and “nailing” difficult passages, usually in works denoted by a digit instead of an ordinal number - “Dude, my teacher’s got nasty chops bro! He totally fucking nailed that shit in Mahler 5!” I don’t know any brass players, but anyone who’s been around piano players is familiar with this sort of thing - Prok 2, Rach 3, treacherous jumps, murderous tempi, jaw-dropping octaves, killer Feux Follets, insane 25-6, 10-1 in a minute flat, etc etc. It’s as though music were an extreme sport of some sort.

It’s sort of funny for me, since I’ve spent a lot of time around rock musicians on the opposite pole, people for whom technique is a four-letter word and musicianship means Yngwie Malmsteen:

Does it have to be like this? A lot of music I love doesn’t require a high level of physical dexterity (like Hank Williams) but a lot of music I love can’t be made without it (like Beethoven’s Op.109). I do know that for those of us who aren’t spectacularly dexterous, it’s well-near impossible to learn a difficult piece unless you really really want to, unless you love the piece so much you absolutely have to play it. I’ve been working on Op. 109 for months, but the one time I tried learning a Liszt etude I gave up inside of an hour.
