Liebestraume, notturno 3
on: August 26, 2006, 10:53:01 AM
I've just begun playing this piece, and now Iv'e come to the end of the second page. Here, there is a part that contains a lot of thirds and fourths, that you play a bit faster than the rest of the beginning "part". It accelerates if I'm not mistaken. When I first looked at the notes I didn't thought it would be very hard to play, but when I tried it now I got big problems. Could someone suggest fingering here, or som tip to play this piece legato, because it says that it should be without pedal. If it would have been staccato it would be much easier to play, but it does not sound very well staccato. I need some fingering that helps me play the thirds and fourths legato when ascending and descending without having to twist my wrist in unhealthy ways...

When I was learning this piece my teacher took out a pencil and crossed out the senza Pedale marking at bar 24 saying that I needed a bit of pedal...at least in the 8-note phrase leading into the run.
