In this episode of Piano Mastery Unlocked, concert pianist Ronald Hawkins delves into Handel’s The Harmonious Blacksmith from Suite No. 5 in E Major, exploring its structure, style, and the technical skills needed to perform it well. Ronald begins with a discussion on the piece’s mysterious nickname and its joyful, rhythmic character, moving into an analysis of its form as an Air and Variations. Each variation builds on the simple elegance of the Air, adding technical challenges like ornamentation, articulation, and tempo control.
For pianists aiming to master this piece, Ronald provides guidance on achieving balance between melody and accompaniment in the Air, refining ornamentation, and keeping a light touch for Baroque style.
