Bunch of tremolos

on: August 07, 2012, 09:28:18 PM

Pieces similar to Liszt Transcendental Etude No. 12 (Chasse Neige)

I know of these:

- Grandes Etudes de Paganini No. 1 (Preludio)
- Alkan Etude Op. 35, No. 3

Yep, that's pretty much it. Help please.

Gottschalk Op 58

sorry forgot audio. I love Cecile Licad's Gottschalk! Pretty sure this isn't on youtube so i had to use an audio file instead of video.

Liszt features the tremolo in a lot of his piano music - but the only piece I can think of that comes remotely close to matching the percentage of tremolo compared to total notes throughout the entire piece to the same degree as the ones you listed is this early one.

The question could be "how to practice tremolos in general" since Liszt TE12 and Paganini Etude no1 are tremolo based pieces.

How to practice tremolos in groups of 4,5,6,8 without losing the melody?
