Hi, Martin. Take a moment to clearly imagine what your sound goal is. Then, take the RH figuration and split it up between your hands for a moment, in order to get the sound model in your ear the way you would want it. Take the top voice in your RH (whichever fingering, the point is to get a particular sound), and the rest of the RH figuration in your LH. Play and memorize *exactly* the sound you want. This way, you will have more control while you are building your sound model. Once you have your sound model in ear/mind (and go back to it w/hands separate as much as is needed) then you mimic this sound with RH hand alone. I find this "exercise" to be very helpful when trying to properly voice these types of textures.
Always as little as possible except for peaces that are supposed to be 'rich' in tone?
I'm not sure if I can smoothly hold the D with finger 5 while playing the D, E with 1 and 2.Would you recommend using the pedal here, or should I try to make it legato without?
