Debussy - La fille aux cheveux de lin

on: May 02, 2010, 04:10:34 PM

Bar 14, 33-34. Do you see any advantage of playing the top staff lower voice with the RH, as opposed to playing three lower voices with the LH?

I find if I do it produces more legato tone. However, playing the all the lower voices in the LH seems to give them more rhythmic and harmonic unity (I see them as triads instead of diverting a whole lot more concentration to finger substitution and walking like an octopus).

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Hmm. I really don't think it matters. Yes it does produce a more legato tone, but wouldn't it be easier to take the lower voices with the LH instead?
