Beethoven Sonata - help!
on: April 27, 2006, 05:46:39 PM
Hi!!!

I am currently playing the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata no.3 op.2 no.3. (the one where there are thirds* in the first two bars at the right hand, see the attachment).

from bar no.97 to 108, I experience a lot of muscle tension and cannot get through all the semiquavers*.

furthermore, I cannot practice this movement too long, because I get shoulder pain due to the partial recovery of a shoulder dislocation. :-\

How can I practice without pain and get those bars right?

I understand that one has to know the piece to comment but I would really be thankful for any advice.  ::)

* I hope I have correctly used these terms to describe the specific places I am referring to since I study under the French system and am not familiar with them... :-[
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

I personally don't know the piece, but maybe it has to do with your posture at the piano?
