Exercises for my left hand!
on: April 02, 2011, 04:54:45 AM
Well, you see, i started my preparatory studies in the conservatorie (for the career (made an audition and they accepted me(yay! xD!))), and i think i need to improve my work with my LH, i was wondering if Moszkowski op.92 could be useful? Because i'd really like to improve my speed, accuracy, and especially i don't want to have problems when doing trills, i think that's my weakest point, For example, when playing Bach Invention 4, the long trill with the LH, i feel there is no enough speed (no speed at all!), Could you give me advice of some books ( Exercises and Etudes) for the left hand? I don't know.. If there is some Czerny, or like i was saying Moszkowski op.92, anything, i would really appreciate it!

Thank You!

Play Hanon with just your left hand, you might be surprised how much unevenness is covered up by always playing two-handed. Play at a moderate speed, loud, and even.
And keep playing Baroque counterpoint! Inventions are good, just don't let your right hand run off with a tempo your left can't keep up.
