Thanks to the Royal Fail losing what I'd ordered, I had to wait a while for the edition of Chopin's Op.72 No.1 that I wanted to come through.
I gave up on the downloaded version I had because it just seemed impossible to figure out, but now the edition I ordered has arrived, it seems a lot easier as there are finger markings all over the place! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Page 1 + 2 look ok... 3 onwards looks like it'll be brain damage material and I'll end up giving up again.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

I have spent the last week and a half working on the first Chopin Ballade, and very little else. Aim: transform it from "muddles through reasonably OK" to "fit to perform anywhere". (Not yet achieved!)
Piano playing is indeed an athletic activity - moreso than I thought. For the first time since returning to serious piano study I am simply physically unable to do 4 hours of daily practice - at least not on this one piece. My forearms and hands ache too much after sustained work on the Prestissimo and the other fast sections. I dare not even think what a similar intensity of work on Rachmaninov No 3 would do to my poor body. QUOTE(Solari @ Nov 12 2009, 03:05 PM) ... I had to wait a while for the edition of Chopin's Op.72 No.1 that I wanted ... Well I had a look at it a couple of nights ago. You have taken on a tough job there! It is not an easy piece at all. Those trills and runs, and free rhthms in the second half are a challenge for anyone. |

I'll be happy to get through page 1 and 2 for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My brain explodes looking at those runs. |
