Glissandi in Petroushka
on: August 28, 2004, 06:45:10 AM
Dear friends:

My name is ARturo and I am from Costa Rica.  Can anybody pls tell me what would you recommend for the glissandi of Petroushka from Stranvinsky, specially in the 3rd movement, how would you recommend to perform them.  The problem is that in some of them, one hand is playing a glissandi, while the other one is playing a specific rhythmic figure, for example, triplets, or quintuplets.  Sometimes instead of a glissando, i try to play a conventional scale, this way allowing the notes of both hands to coordinate each other, but I am still not playing it at the fast exact time, so I don't know if I would have problems when I play it "a tempo".  What would you recommend me.  Thank you in advance.
