April 13, 2011, 02:02:02 AM by fungipower

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me the chords of in Chopin's Ocean Etude, in order of appearance that is. I plan to improvise on it by playing a simple back and forth appegios interpretation of it, to get a better feel of the piece before extended studies.

Thank you, in advance.

xx effective way to practice hand position changes in Ocean Etude?
February 09, 2011, 06:31:21 PM by Derek

So, I've been struggling to continue studying Chopin's Ocean Etude. I enjoy it when I work on it but find difficulty summoning willpower to continue, due to how difficult it is to play this piece anywhere close to speed. I can read it slowly and accurately. Obviously, the thing that makes this piece difficult are the hand position changes that occur in the different sorts of arpeggios.

I haven't tried this yet but I wondered if other people do this and if it is effective: Practice *just* the hand position changes. In other words, move back and forth between them. Where my pinky would be replaced by a thumb, or thumb by pinky in the other hand, I might be landing on an octave (easiest for some reason), major or minor ninth, or 10th.  It seems like these movements cause the most flubs. So if I just practice those movements, should this help?

To put it another way, so far I've only been practicing by playing the piece as written, slowly, without putting a very microscopic focus on the specific technical problems.

xx Chopin Etude Op. 25 No. 12
January 09, 2011, 06:35:35 AM by abcdef123

Hello everyone! I was wondering how to approach this Chopin etude or learn it. I have tried playing staccato, block chords. I need some advice on how to learn this etude. When should I do it hands together? It is not a problem for me to play the arpeggios up but when I go down back, I will get stuck. Advice appreciated! Thank yoU!

xx Tips for practicing the "Ocean Etude"?
March 12, 2010, 04:48:29 AM by bonehelm

Hi all,

I have been working on this piece by myself (without the guidance of my teacher) for about 3 weeks to a month now. From memory, I can play it at the performance tempo that I want, but I think I can still make improvements in overall clarity and evenness. Sometimes some notes in the arpeggios don't sound, and sometimes there is a tiny gap between them. Also, my whole arm (forearm in particular) becomes tense after playing the arpeggios over and over again. This doesn't happen when I'm playing at a slow tempo, so I'm wondering what is the correct motion to use, so that I can avoid tension playing at any speed.

Does anybody have advice for practicing this piece for me, so that I could fix as many of these as possible? Once again, when playing slowly, these problems are not noticeable, it's only when I speed it up that they really get in the way.

Thanks!  Smiley

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
