Toccata&Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
on: June 24, 2002, 05:39:07 AM
I saw someone at school play Bach's toccata&fugue in D minor and it looked and sounded wonderful. I got the notes for it and am learning it now. I find it kind of difficult to play some parts with both right and left hands, like when the quick things come where you have to do 1, 2312312312, 3, 4534534534, 5, 675675676.
If you know what I mean? lol
Anyways, after that it goes from up to down like in this order: 231 231 231 ... etc etc, every time it comes twice and goes a step lower after that, playing it twice again. Its extremely tough to play it with both left and right, since I'm having problems with right hand alone doing it.
Any tips? Technical-wise, that is.

Heh, it wasn't that hard after all. Once I got it done with the right hand, it took me just a little practice on the left. I enjoy playing with the left hand, for some reason. Just moves.
