play broken D triads (LH)(ascending)
on: April 12, 2006, 11:11:07 AM
I am practicing playing broken D triads (at high speed as required of the scores I am playing).
That is:
d1, f#1, a1, f#1, a1, d2, a2, d2, f#3, d3, f#3, a4, f#4, a4, d5, a5, d5, f#6...
(The number indicates which key it is of the same tone, for example, d2 is an octave higher than d1, but both with the tone, d)
So with the fingering:
5, 3, 1, 5, 3, 1, 5, 2, 1..... (LH)(Ascending)
when I am playing f# with finger 5(pinky) (High speed), I usually miss it.
Does any one have any tip for this?
thanks

I would use:
D F# A F# A D A F# D D F# A
5 3 2 3 2 1 5 3 2 5 3 2 etc.
This avoids the problem of having to move the hand in and out of the keys to hit the F# with the shorter 5th finger, which can slow you down.

I am very likely to hit 'g' after I slip from "f#" black key. That is, it's not a solid f# tone.
