Alberti Bass technique

[svensknavi]

Hello everyone. So I'm currently working on the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, and I'm up to where the alberti bass comes in. My teacher and I were supposed to go over the technique for alberti today but due to a snow storm had to cancel, so it'll be a while before getting together again. That said, I was wondering if I could get some quick instruction on the technique I should be using so that I can start working on it now instead of waiting for the next lesson. Thanks.

Stay very close to the keys, and practice carefully, counting the beats out loud with your voice, listening to make sure the sound es exceptionally clear and even.

Move your fingers as little as possible.  Use forearm rotation, in-out, and wrist slants before you engage the fingers. This prevents overexertion of the fingers.  If they burn, you're doing it wrong.
