xx chopin scherzo number 3
May 15, 2008, 02:58:50 PM by lohshuhan

i noticed that, just like his 3rd sonata in question, there are many discrepancies between the various editions. 

for example, bar 31 of henle shows crotchet octave, quaver rest, quaver octave, crotchet octave, while Breitkorp shows quaver octave, quaver rest, crotchet octave, crotchet octave. 

so which is the one chopin really intended?  i tried to listen to recordings to find a more preferred pattern, but also realised that neither version was preferred by pianists. 

can anyone comment?

xx Chopin's Scherzo no. 3
April 28, 2007, 02:55:59 AM by nocturnelover

Hello!
I was wondering what rating people would give this piece in terms of how difficult it is, I saw a video on youtube with Martha Argerich playing this piece

I have never seen anything like it, seriously, even Rubenstein said it was the most demanding piece he plays, I want to know what are the odds of you being able to play it even close to the level that she can play it?

xx A couple questions on Chopin's Scherzo no. 3
July 27, 2006, 05:24:43 PM by lagin

I have a couple questions for those of you who have played this.  In the first theme where it is just straight octaves, only one of them, near the end is marked staccato.  Does this mean that the others are pedaled or finger legato which would be very tricky at speed?!  Or are they played detached without pedal, but just without the wrist snap of a staccato note?  The second time these octaves come back around bar 125, there are more of them with staccato markings, but still not all, so I think they want a deliberate difference, it's just how to do so. 

Also on the second page (bar 75 ish), shere the outer voices move in dotted half notes, and the inner ones are much more active having three quarter notes per bar.  Are those inner notes played deliberately detached or do you put in some shots of pedal to hide the fact that you can't play all three legato and hold the top voice for full value (my edition - Urtext - is fingered to have the inner voice of each bar starting on 2 which means that you run out of fingers anyway, so it's just a question of whether you make them sound detached or legato by using the pedal?

That's all so far.  Thanks guys.
