Repertoire: Beethoven's Waldstein by gregh87
I just started this piece, and I remember my teacher saying something about a difficult glissando somewhere in this piece.  So do you play the fast octaves in the Presto part of the third movement like you'd play a glissando?  They sound pretty ridiculous in the Ashkenazy recording I've listened to.  Are they like octave-glissando's for one hand?

VDO was divided by the camera software.... so they look quite awkward. (11+11+1 mins)..

Student's Corner: Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata 1st movt left hand tremolos, I NEED YOUR HELP! by winningpianist
Hi guys,

I have big trouble in the left hand tremolo part from bar 14 to 22 (especially bar 22) of the Waldstein Sonata 1st Movt, I just can't get my left hand up to speed, whenever I speed up, my left hand get tired and tense, I have already tried practicing the left hand part slowly with relax wrist with the right hand or just by left hand, but I get tense and tired whenever I play that bit in full speed, my right hand get tired,too, but not as strong as the left hand. What should I do? How should I practice them to get them up to speed? My recital is 1 month away. Please give
my some suggestions. Thanks a lot!!

Cheers

Performance: Waldstein 3rd mvt -- Glissando by hwangs
This question has probably been asked before, but I didn't want to look through the whole forum to find it... haha. My hands aren't small (I could reach 10ths comfortably) but not that big either.

Anyone have suggestions of practicing this glissandi??

Repertoire: Good Waldstein by mikebechstein
Hi,

Can anybody help me?

I have never yet found a recording of Walstein that fully satisfies me and it is one of my favourite pieces. My favourite interpretation, that I have, on disc is Walter Gieseking (despite his rushed first movement.) I also have copies of Arrau (fairly modern recording but I can’t remember the date), Brendel (digital), Kempff (last recording), and Paul Lewis.

Could anybody suggest any great recordings, bearing in mind that I like Gieseking’s approach (in a way similar to Cortot in Schumann in that the music and its meaning are more important than the notes.)

Thanks,

Mike

i can't complain about the piano, coz i was using the best one i could possibly find in the province. though i will upgrade the video quality later this week. it is too small a compression.

Audition Room: waldstein (first mvt) by pianistimo
this is a run through tonight.  it's better than the last one - but probably not my best yet.  i'm posting it just because i like it.  the piece.  it's one of my favorite beethoven sontatas.

this is for a laugh.  i haven't played it in awhile - but decided tonight to make a go of it again.  the second slower movement might be better.
Repertoire: Can you grade difficulties of these pieces from easiest to hardest? by redrum232
  Chopin: Ballade no 1, Ballade no 2, Ballade no 3, Scherzo no 3, Scherzo no 2, Berceuse, Polonaise Heroique  , Beethoven: Waldstein movement 1, movement 3; Appasionata movement 1, movement 3. ??? ??? ???
I'm searching for next repertoire. I' m quite sure that the Berceuse is significantly easier than the rest, but i don't know the distance of difficulties between that one and the others( for example: ballade 2 or scherzo) if i learn both of them at the same time...
