Etude for 4-5 fingers in both hands?

[lelle]

Hi!
I'm looking for an etude that will help me build enough strength and quickness in my 4 and 5 fingers in both the left and the right hand, so that I can comfortably perform fast trills/tremolos with these fingers.

The piece(s) doesn't have to be too difficult, but should help me with this specific technical problem, and be satisfactory and fun to play when mastered (in an ideal scenario  )

Anyone? I'm working on the "Wedge" Fugue in e minor BWV 548 and really need to improve my fingerwork and tremolo with the 4 and 5 fingers for certain passages.

Ok, I'll take that as a definite "no" then.

I really have no idea.. But try trilling with 4th and 5th...

I guess I'll have to, was just hoping that perhaps there was some etude for both the right and left hand, kind of like chopins a minor etude with chromatic scales in the right hand, I think it's opus 10, but focusing just as much or even more on the left hand.

I dont know any etude for your purposes but I had the same problem and resolved it with parallel sets. Have a look to C. Chang.

Did you think at Hanon exercices?
It's very exhaustive in terms of techniques and helps a lot.

It's not necessarily fun to listen to as it sounds like scales, but it can be fun playing.

Why not turn those passages into exercises?  If you know where the troubles are, you can isolate those passages and creatively reinterpret them.

Are you looking for an exercise just to be able to repeat trills in the 4,5th fingers several times?  Just do it with this passage, what's the difference?

A good principle for devising exercises is that they should be more difficult than the passage you are trying to master.  Usually, that's all you need to go on.

Very good for 4&5:

Here's the notes:
 Change from 4-5, to 3-4, to 2-3 as you go:
