Fantaisie Impromptu
on: March 16, 2004, 12:21:24 AM
I have learned the fantaisie impromptu a few months ago..but i still have a lot of troubles with the last 2 pages>:(..it's especialy my right hand.. it just seems that i can't control it..i haven't got enough balance in my right hand..mayb it's fatigue of the precede pages i dunno..is there anyone who has the same problem? Or someone else who have some tips on how i can improve my technique so i can control my right hand a lot better? thnx!!i think these 2 pages are the hardest part of the whole piece.  btw..sorry for my bad english  ::)

try playing the right hand part separately very, very slowly. the point is to figure out for yourself which are the best moves for the arm, the wrist, fingering, and so on - keep in mind that you're looking for the easiest way! your hand should tell you how it feels to do this way or that way. on more thing - the "fatigue" shouldn't be a problem with such a short work, if you're tired then you must be doing something wrong, so try this method with all the A section of the work (it's ABA+coda, if my memory serves me right)

Yes, this is one of the harder sections.
