Fantasie Impromptu Project

The other side of it is that in high speed playing, even if the overall touch is legato you're not really holding on to the notes at all much.. the touch pretty much is finger staccato, but they follow each other so closely that the sound is legato. In FI at full speed you have around .1 of a second per note..

yeah - that was what I didn't know !

Thank you !

I have Alan Fraser's book - will go read it now.

 so may be when the piano touch is lighter, I don't hold a key longer because I know the next key will  be depressed quickly hence I quickly let go previous key and can play faster (almost finger staccato like you say) but with heavier touch I know the next key depression to its point of sound is going to take longer and hence hold onto the previous note longer .. hence more physical legato there...


May be a combination of more arm weight , how slow/fast go into the key or something like that

Will work on finger tapping as you suggested and also see if I find a solution to this problem.
