Mozart Piano Concerto #21 In C Help!
on: April 24, 2012, 09:03:55 PM
Hello there!  ;D

I'm having some real difficulty learning this piece. The trouble I'm having relates to the fact that the left hand plays in triplets whilst the right hand plays in 1/8 notes. I have no trouble playing the two separately but when I even try to piece it together it falls apart! It's like patting my head and rubbing my belly, I just simply can't do it.

So! I'm wondering if anybody has any tips to ease me into being able to play something such as this? I really would love to learn this piece but the 'asynchronous' playing of the hands really has me frustrated. Any tips out there? Thank you so much in advance :)
