I have hear a "waltz in C sharp minor" by chopin but it hasn't the opus number. I have a problem in my computer's audio functions that stop me from searching for it on the internet, because the only thing I have is the music on a cd that gives less information about pieces than it should.
Can someone tell me the opus? I give some clues: it is a very beautifull waltz that starts with some dissonant chords (I don't know if they are really dissonants, but they seem when listening) in the lower times that fall in a whirlpool of notes that finishes resting on a beatifull sequence of sharped notes.
Anyone knows? |

Generally, I can read music, but I'm a little confused by a couple of things in two Chopin scores I've been playing around with. First, in the Op. 10 No. 1 Etude in C, the very first measure contains a left-hand octave in C held for eight beats; however, the first note in the right hand is the 1/16 note played on the same note after a 1/16 rest. How do you play that C in the RH if you're already holding it in the LH? Is it simply written so that your hand starts out playing the full C arpeggio? Is it not actually audible in the RH? I don't get it.
My next question concerns the Op. 64 No. 2 Waltz in C# minor. In measure three in the RH, there are two accidentals on the F, first a natural followed immediately by a sharp. What does this mean, and which of the two takes precedence here? In the previous measure, F has a double-sharp. Is the natural there simply to cancel out the double sharp and make sure I don't interpret it as a triple-sharp? That seems unnecessary as an accidental only is in effect for a single measure.
TIA. |

I'm learning it. :) It's so increadibly gorgeous! I have a recording of Horowitz playing it and I just love it.
Although it's 6 pages long there's only -3 pages to learn because of all the repeats. So it shouldn't take me long, maybe I'll be able to play it for my next recital.
My favorite part to play is the second page, the RH part is so fun! You're just cascading down the keyboard and then racing back up..... love it. Sounds hard but it really isn't. :)
The whole thing is beautiful, I love the middle section as well.
Anyway, has anyone else played this piece? Any performance tips?

Hey all, I've been working on chopin - op.64 no.2 for a while now and I have all the notes memorized and can play through it all fairly well. The problem I'm having is with the evenness in:
1) the "flow" and evenness of the timing for each note after the other.
2) keeping the volume of each note relatively quiet and even with the fast moving left hand especially.
I can handle the ascending chromatic sequence well, it's mostly just the 454321 parts and the quick ascending notes in measures 40-41 that I'm having trouble keeping even.
are there any exercises or techniques I can implement into my practice to smooth out this section? |
