Learning Liszt Consolations 2
on: December 29, 2011, 12:32:25 PM
Please can anyone help!.
I will be playing  consolations 1,2&3 at a concert at the end of January.  Whilst I have 1 & 3 fairly well sorted I am having terrible problems with No2.
My main probem is with the timing on page 2 of the Henle Verlag Urtext edition. Original version.
On line 3,  of the second page  there is a descending scale in the treble which resolves to an fsharp and b natural in the base, the melody is then  all in the bass fror the remainder of line 3 and 4.  The treble in the right hand seems to dance around the base melody.
Try as hard as I can I just cannot get the timing right and cannot get the beautiful melody coming out in the lower notes.
All the recordings I listen to sound nothing like my rendition.
My teacher says its because I havn't got the timing structure right in the whole piece.
Any tips on how to practise this would be well appreciated. One proboem I have is counting and on this section it seems nigh on impossible.
