Hungarian Rhapsody 6 Allegro Excerpt (Famous long octave passage)

[sislermi]

How do I clean this up.  Any advice or thoughts that immediately come to your mind as you watch it would sincerely help.  This is a hard piece, I kind of just gave up at the end when the leaps were coming into play lol, so don't think of this as a performance, just think of it as a run through during a practice session.  It's just shows where I'm at currently.

Your shoulder looks a little bit tense. Relax!

I think it would sound better, and probably feel more comfortable, if you took the tempo a little bit slower.

Try and keep your wrist supple. It looks stiff-especially when the LH gets to play the octaves!

Your body moves around quite a lot in the difficult bits. You may wish to consider a quieter posture.

so many things wrong... don't know where to start. 
pretend that your whole arm is sedated up until the point of the wrist. You can add force from the upper arms later on, just try get a springy action with your wrists right now. keep all the movements small, including distance from the keys and movement of the wrist. Wrist height should only be like 1 cm above the keyboard.

ugh repeated octaves seem hard af... whats the general trick? i think i been practicing them wrong for a long time and made ineffective octave technique into a habit. gaaahhhh realizing u have been practicing somethign wrong for all this time and that you need to spend 2x as much effort to unlearn it and learn the right technique is the most ANNOYING feeling ever
