xx How to play the Turn in Chopin Prelude Op. 28 - 4?
January 29, 2011, 12:25:48 PM by lars_o

I'm working on this prelude and there is this turn in measure 16 which in my (Henle) edition has a double-sharp accidental in parentheses printed below it (see attached image). I'm unsure how this is supposed to be played:
First of all does it apply to the A# or to the G?
Since the double sharp is below the turn symbol I guess it applies to the lower auxiliary note.
So if it applies to the A#, and I read the double-shap correctly, the lower auxiliary note would be A-natural (G raised by two half notes) that could mean the sequence should be A#-B-A#-A-A#.
If it applies to the G, I wouldn't think the double sharp applies to the upper note which is already raised once to A# and would become B making the sequence B-G-F#-G. Which seems really strange. So I think it must apply to the A#.

It would be great if someone who knows this a little better could confirm this or help me out with the correct interpretation of this sequence.

Thanks a lot!
Lars

xx 24 Préludes, Op. 28: IV. In E Minor - Chopin
January 10, 2011, 12:34:49 AM by aonelas

My teacher just handed me this, I could wait two days and ask him, but I'm getting impatient, and would like to meet the mark he set for me by my next lesson. When I get to the first wavier in the melody, "A, B, D, C, E, A, F#," there's no pedaling for the baseline. Consequently, the chord in the left hand sounds like "BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK," until the pedaling kicks back in. Pedaling that measure soothes it quite a bit, but you have to pedal each note, and besides, it's not written that way (at least not on the copy I have).

I was hoping for some advice and correction.

Thanks,

Aaron

xx Op.28 No.4 Chopin Prelude
August 31, 2009, 09:25:19 PM by arpeggiated_chopin

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this website, and I wanted it to be one of a question of mine. Recently, I've fallen in love with the 'clicking torture device' and I have been using it religiously when practicing exercises and pieces I'm working on. Recently I've been working on Chopin's Op.28 No.4 prelude, an easy one...Until measure seventeen! I was wondering if anyone else had ever encountered difficutly keeping in time with the big jump from b-b left hand octave to a-c natural-#d-f#.
The suggested metronome marking in the Schirmer performance edition is 54-58 (Largo).
When I slow it down to a snails pace of 45, I can manage it just fine, so I suppose the best thing to do is to practice the jump while incrementially increasing the metronome speed.
Any suggestions, or past experiences studying this piece? Thanks a bunch.  Grin

xx Chopin - Op.28 n.4
June 01, 2009, 04:20:38 PM by pianist_on_the_ocean

This is a piece that I LOVE but unfortunately some hammers of my piano have to be changed, so I recorded it with all my heart altough the result. I hope you like it anyway.

p.s. I don't want to destroy Chopin beacause he'is my favourite composer, so if I did, advise me please!  Wink

xx Chopin prelude in e minor op.28. no.4
April 29, 2009, 12:41:54 PM by quaver

Does anyone have any suggestions how to play the left hand effectively.  The chords are difficult to make each note sound.  They mostly have three or four notes to a chord and I find that some will sound and others will not.  Is arm weight the key here or constant practice to form the hand in the correct position for each note to sound. Perhaps a low wrist will do it.  I dont know.  Any suggestions on that one.  Also measures 11 and 19. the grace note.  Is that an appoggiatora or an accacciatora.  Do I play the note as a crushed note or keep it longer.  Thanks

xx Two questions on Chopin Op 28 No 4 in e minor
February 26, 2009, 11:37:49 PM by b0mbtrack

These are probably two really dumb questions but oh well.  I'm doing pretty good reading and playing this one at the same time which is a real accomplishment for me but I just have two questions on it.

1) In measure 13 there is that triplet starting on D.  Is the 4th beat on that D or is it mixed in there between the D and the C?

2) Why is the time signature is cut in half? Does that mean there are only two beats per measure and everything is 16th notes?  That sounds like it would be really fast, but I don't play it like that.

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.
