Hi i'm a person who needs help with this Waltz desperatly.
In the measure 21-36 i just can't play in without making a mistake in the right hand anyone have any good ideas for some fingerings (yes i've tried playing it slower) and also when I play it it doesn't sound right at all. So any suggestions?

Thanks if anyone Helps

If you're comfortable with your fingering, then break it up into smaller pieces and play it blindfolded. It's **** tough at first, and it sounds bizarre, but nothing sticks a fingering into your mind like playing it entirely by feel. (Bonus points if you later take the blindfold off and learn to play it while reading a book!)
