HELP!! Sth in La Campanella
on: June 12, 2008, 02:58:48 PM
This is some chromatic scales in the chorus
                                                         D D# E F#
my fingering 323213123131313123 1 3    4 5
                    4313121313131321

However, there is some instabilities....
And, I cannot play them well...

Any suggestions?

Figure out something that works and use it!  It may not be a fingering problem but if you insist on asking us about fingering, you may get some fingers back! ;) ;D

Hmm, if you dont even get the fingering of a chromatic scale properly, why bother trying to play that piece at all? The chrom. scales are the easiest part of Campanella....
1+1=11

Sorry for my bad English...
I don't know.....
for other technical stuff, I manage to play time with ease...
but for the chromatic part.....,
i am not sure which method i should us..
method I.I learn it from my teacher,the thumb should be hid in the palm after pressing    the key using the joint of the thumb
mathod II, I know it from a book....fundamental of piano practise...
                 It said that the thumb is treated as a normal finger.....
                We will use the tip of thumb to hit the key instead..
                We need not hide the thumb after hitting a key..
The book says that many fabulous pianists use this method..
Which method should I use?

This piece can either be:

a. Easy
b. Impossible

I choose A, leaving you with no other choice. ;)

If I may ask, how is the piece coming along so far?  Is it easy or difficult?  How much of it have you learned?
