Pieces to train broken chords/skiping notes.
on: January 12, 2011, 11:02:19 AM
Oh, hi...hey.

I`m looking for some pieces that works with broken chords, or some skiping notes...i don't know how to explain. I mean, mostly pieces i play have a lot of scales or joint degrees...i want something that moves the hand more from down to up.

Harmonies du Soir is for this specifically, and easier than the Ocean Etude.
If this work is so threatening, it is not because it's simply strange, but competent, rigorously argued and carrying conviction.

-Jacques Derrida

Thank you all!

Edit: My God! Not that hard, please! My most difficult piece is February - The seasons - Tchaikovsky.
