I am having a very difficult problem regarding fingering, that I am sure we have all gone through at some time or another. Here it is : ....I could not make come out right.(I actually remember practicing ALL NIGHT on just one passage, only to make it worse) So my question is, how should I, in the future, be 100% surethat I have the best possible fingerings before I start slaving for hours over the keyboard?? I know the obvious answer would be to expirement over and over, but this takes time, and, even through expirementaion, you cannot always achieve your goals.
...Consider the very first mordent ......start fingering the hard bits and move backwards from there.
Ummm....1) Get a teacher?2) Ask Bernhard.Y'know we should have a section named 'Ask Bernhard'. Over on the cello discussion board they have their very own agony aunt for cello matters and a section called 'Ask Betty Lou'. How about it Bernhard?Sorry for being OT,dennis lee
IThere are different ideas and fingering systems out there. For example, if you look under :www.fingering.ch you will see there are alot of other ideas on this subject.
Hey Bernhard, relax just you have to reexamine your fingering.
He could play a scale in 3rd's with the most incredible fingering and perfect sound.
Er... I think you mean "Hey Scarbo87" Have you heard him? Best wishes,Bernhard.Best wishes,Bernhard
I wouldn't recommend learning the music from the Paderewski edition...lots of inaccurate dynamics, and he changes notes. The Dover edition is generally best, I've never had problems with any of their fingering, and they're very good quality.
A lot of people don't like the Mikuli (Dover) editions of Chopin.
