Hello,

I hope someone can give me advice on how to practice fast repetitive chords in the left hand as in, for instance, Beethoven's Die Wut üeber den Verlorenen Groschen. I am learning the piece slowly at this point, but can't imagine how I could possibly play it in the final tempo. Please share your ideas on how to develop this technique. My right hand is much better at this kind of chords, but it's always been, and I don't know what I did to develop it, but "trying to play LH in the same relaxed, light, and precise way" doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere yet.

thanks!
Elena
