Guest CreationArtist Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I'm going to make this short and sweet: Advice please.. I need help! Particularly, with the trills.. they're almost impossibly fast (you can't play a free trill at 310 bpm while in cut time). They're almost impossible as it is, it seems as though I just have to rapidly move my left and right hand and hope it all works out (which it will never work out perfectly)... what do I do? Quote
Daniel Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Do not take the rondo quickly when learning it... of course you will eventually be limited in the speed that you can play the trills, because it is a particularly fleet movement, but I would advise that you take it slow enough that you can add in all the detail, and play everything well. I certainly wouldn't advise taking it as fast as professional pianists often do - it's not a good idea, unless you have the movement firmly into your fingers, and have the technique to play it consistently fast without slowing down at more difficult sections.(one of my pet hates in piano playing) Quote
Guest CreationArtist Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I still slow down in the E major section of the grace note (the second piano entrance in the third movement), the left hand plays G-F#-G-G#-G-F all with the same finger. Sure you can use the middle finger, but it's kind of awkward. I posted that question months ago and I have to say, this really is an easy movement! The cadenzas aren't too difficult (easy to understand, follow, and get in the fingers) and I thought the first entrance would be tricky, but it's actually pretty fun. The tricky part is the final phrase (with the crescendo in the repeat), choosing how to play the left hand. Some recordings staccato each chord, some hold them and only staccato certain ones, but I figured out how I'll play it. I love the phrase that leads up to the really tricky right hand part as well as one other really cool part in minor key. It's probably one of the most fun movements of a piano concerto from Mozart to play. Although there are a few others (21 mvmt. 3; 22 mvmt. 3; 23 mvmt 3.; 5 mvmt. 1; 10 mvmt. 3; 15 mvmt.3). I seem to like the finales ;) Quote
Daniel Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 There's no E major in the 2nd piano entry - measure no. please? Quote
Guest CreationArtist Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 D(Grace Note)->EB, -> Bb -> G -> Eb Quote
Daniel Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 It's a D going to an Eb, and it's an Eb chord! But at least I see what you mean now. Yeah, a bit awkward, but slow practise, then bring it up to speed. Quote
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Jenamy The speed is not consistent, but I just wanted to give you an idea of where I am at all stages (I do practice slowly at a consistent tempo, though). The midi changed at the end for some reasons (this is unfortunately the best way for me to record) and was having slight problems. Also.. I should've set the attack higher .. the notes sound like air puffs. Quote
