Chopin's Fantasie in f minor
on: December 09, 2012, 01:59:48 PM
Well, I play it (the Fantasie) for almost 2 months and I am over with the technique and most of the phrasing. But, still, there is a line that bothers me since I first read the Fantasie Op.49. There is a section that starts in piano and 'calmato', right after the agitato section that repeats itself thrice in the whole piece. The right hand is supposed to play cantabile and soft double notes, and the left one, continuous triplets. The triplets are ones that bother me. Is anyone here that has played the second note of the triplets (of the left hand) a bit accentuated as that chromatic line can 'shine' and add color to the section?

Not entirely certain, but I think you mean beginning at bar 180. In my edition (Paderewski) the pedal marking indicates that that chromaticism is held under one pedal. Hence, a heightening of the tension there. It seems that Chopin was indicating that the line should "shine," as you say.
This piece is so wonderful and so bloody difficult. And I thought the "Barcarolle" was hard!
Good luck!
