Beethoven Sonata Tempest slurs.
on: May 09, 2013, 04:07:58 PM
I am thinking of learning the Beethoven Sonata 'Tempest'. However, the start already poses some problems for me. When playing the two-tied notes, my hand always tenses up and I can't play it fast enough. Is there a certain hand movement I have to consider, like lifting my hand slightly or something else? Or is it a matter of fingerings? Thanks.
