Scarlatti Sonata k141
on: August 01, 2008, 02:08:03 AM
I had a question, I finished this piece already but  sometimes I miss notes in the beginning , its nothing major I dont really miss the notes they just aren't clear and sound as if they have been played by accident, this only happens occasionally but just in case I want to ask anyone who has played this how this security can be achieved with so much repetition? Im performing this in a week and I only had 2 weeks to learn it so I need an answer as soon as possible since its somewhat new to me in a sense.

With repeated notes I always find my thumb to be a bit slow so I practice 3-2-1 or 4-3-2-1 and always throw in an octave (5-1) when I play the thumb.  Helps keep the hand balanced and the thumb in control!  Try this fast and slow.
