Chord attack:Left hand is broken into groups of notes that can fit in the hand. These groups are played as chords. The chords are then gently bounced, then slurred. the move on to the next group.
Just tried the 2 finger and it works well only if you are willing to try, but it puts an accent on the f# (even more so than the thumb initially did)
Gotcha. Well, I did try, and I am just not convinced as to why this would be any better than the thumb ? I mean, why not the thumb ? Just because of some "rule" ?
Nah...just seemed to fit when ah tried it yesterday.Perhaps mah lack of lefthand thumb control? Ah am learning to 1-2 trill with it while holding 5 for scarlatti and ahve found that using the same light touch with the thumb in this passage makes it easier. However, ah cannot control this at will yet.so the 2 came about because ah felt the thumb was too heavy at the time
rimv2 (or anybody else ), what recordings have you listened to ? I am currently listening to Samson Francois and also Martha Argerich (I also have Pollini, but haven't listened in a while).Argerich is 2 seconds faster overall, but who knows where that is located, maybe just in the last chords (I haven't really payed attention to that). What I do notice is that Francois is more articulate in his runs. It is not that Argerich is sloppy, but just not as clear on every single note (maybe more pedal).What have you decided regarding these runs as far as articulation is concerned ? I think I prefer the more articulated sound, at this point.m1469
