How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion
It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

Some help with Alkan and Prokofiev
on: December 08, 2010, 05:48:08 PM
Hi everyone, I am having trouble with a spot in the 2nd movment of Alkan's Sonata and a spot in Prokofiev's Op.2 no.1. First, in measure 34 of https://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/5/5a/IMSLP75261-PMLP07477-Alkan_Sonate_op._33.pdf, what do you all think is the best fingering for bringing out the bottom note in the left hand? I'm currently using 5-3-2, and it is pretty easy to play up to speed, but really difficult to bring out the melody on the bottom. Also, https://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/a/aa/IMSLP00422-Prokofiev_-_Four_Studies_Op2.pdf  in the part with thirds in the right hand and single notes in the left hand on the second page, would the best way to finger the thirds descending simply be: 54, 12, 12? Or should I try to do: 54,32,12? Thanks
