Trans Paganini Etude 6
on: July 24, 2012, 05:37:12 AM
I'm tackling this impossible piece along with tons of other pieces, so note that I won't have time to practice this piece for more than 20 min a day.
Practicing about 10 min a day on this piece, I've gotten through the theme, memorized the right hand for most of the variations, in a long 3 months.
Compared to the easy version of this, this version is definitely a lot harder, but I found that I absolutely love the transcendental version, compared to the grande version, especially on Var 2,4,6,8,9 and the end.
So, I've felt like it's impossible to play these variations: 1, 6, and 8
1) The chords always make me give errors, easily recognizable ones when played on tempo.
6) First of all, I can't even reach tenths on the left hand, but even assuming I did (I probably will because I'm still growing), I don't think I'll be able to play the left hand with accuracy.
The leaps on the white keys are really challenging, and the leaps for the right hand that spans about 2 octaves is simply devastating
So, any suggestions for those 3 variations?
Just as a reminder: This isn't the famous paganini etude no 6, on that, the variations I pointed out was really easy, it was sight - readable to a certain degree. This is the Transcendental Etudes After Paganini no.6 , the 1838 version. Sheet music can be found on this video:
