Chopin barcarolle Op.60
on: March 21, 2012, 12:54:07 PM
Any tricks for the following:

1. Double fold trills, like the second time and the third time the main themes come back there appear some pretty nasty trills

2. Legato octave jumps? like bar 84?

1. Keep practicing. Use straighter fingers.

2. Try fingering the LH bottom notes in measure 84 as 5545435 (first half) and 5545454 (second half) and use pedal sparingly (half pedal?) to help.  Judiciously use the last 3 fingers of the LH through those octaves.

Best,
Josh
