Liszt- "Chasse-neige".

on: July 14, 2005, 11:46:16 AM

I've recently started working on this piece (for 5 days), and as with every piece im beginning, i first try and play it beginning to end in one go then go back and work on it once i have a very weak,basic grasp of the whole thing.

Does anyone have any tips of the kind of things to work on here, because i dont want to end up developing a bad technique for this piece and have to undo it, so i'm getting advice first.

When doing the tremelos do the motion in your fingers, not your wrists. Trust me, doing it all in the wrists will exhaust you completely, I promise.
