Title: What is more difficult...
Post by: brsmpianist on October 10, 2005, 02:21:13 AM

Chopin's Black Key or the op.25 #2 in fmoll?  Mostly in terms of stamina, speed, etc... and which do you think would take longer to polish?

Definitely the 25-2... IF you want to play the cross-rhythms right. And that's the only way not to butcher the etude.

Interesting, I'm working on 25/2 right now.  The right hand is fitting under my fingers very nicely so far, any tips for hands together?

From listening to it, looking at the score, and sight reading it a bit it seems like the rhythm shouldn't be so much of a challenge.  Each pair of RH triplets just goes with one LH triplet right?

When you play very slowly hands together, try to hear each hand separate.
