Our latest Practice Clinic recording features answers to questions on rhythm, fluency in fast passages, playing legato double notes and pedalling in works by Schubert, Mozart, Liszt & Sciarra.
Practice clinic questions
Dario Sciarra Romance (Trinity Grade 8 Piano Syllabus 2021-2023) – I am struggling with Bars 33, 36 and 37. How do I count these properly and execute them correctly in time? Furthermore, how can I increase my speed in bar 33?
Schubert Impromptu in F Minor, Op. 142 No. 4 / D935 – How do I connect the double notes in Bar 20 (repeated later)? Is there a fingering I should use, any pedal involved or should I try to slide my fingers to achieve legato?
WA Mozart Fantasy in D Minor, K397 – I am having problems with the two RH presto passages in this work. I keep tripping over my fingers and can never seem to play them fluently!
Liszt Consolation No. 3 in D-flat Major, S172 – I’m working on this piece and cannot figure out the pedalling in the opening section. I either blur everything or lose the bass note. Could you please advise on how to avoid this?
