Student's Corner: Beethoven Pastorale vs storm Sonata by fredo2
Hi guys, some time ago i played the storm sonata, but i pretty much learnded it on my own, without teacher. And now i started to play the Pastorale, and am wondering which one is more difficult to play, technically and musically. Fred
Student's Corner: Help with passage in Beethoven op.28 (piano sonata no. 15 in D) by mojones
Hi, I'm having a problem with a particular passage in Beethoven op.28 and wondered if anyone could suggest any practice techniques. In bars 77-83 I'm having trouble getting the notes in the highest voice in the right hand to be heard over the other voices. It doesn't help that they're played with fingers 4 and 5.

Student's Corner: Beethoven Sonata Op.28 'Pastorale' mvt.IV by phil13
This topic concerns the 4th mvt. coda, Piu Alllegro quasi Presto. I've now been practicing this particular passage (and the whole mvt. in general) for about 2 months and I'm still having problems getting my right hand to move in the right way. The wrist motions are there, the arm moves, but the fingers...unless it's warm inside, I have difficulty playing the runs effortlessly. Usually, I am not bothered by cold fingers except at the beginning of a practice session- they warm up within about 45 minutes to an hour. However, even after that- even after a day like today, where I had already practiced for nearly 5 hours before working on this passage, they feel stiff when executing the 16ths, as if they were still cold. I have this sonata programmed for a recital in almost exactly one month. This is the last problem left in the entire thing for me. Does anybody with experience playing this passage have some good advice? Am I not moving my fingers correctly? Does the problem lie elsewhere? To anybody who responds, thank you. Phil
