ITS TERRIBLE! HELP!
on: September 18, 2015, 01:01:13 AM
It's used to happen with 45 trills it still does.
But now it mainly happens when I finger 35 4 35 4(3 and. 5 played at the same time)
It's an almost nonexistent feeling, but you feel like there's a thick layer of syrup of your fingers(or in them) that doesn't allow them to move.
But once you start doing it (wether on a piano or just a desk) you cant stop. But it feels horrible to continue doing it. You you have to because you have to get it right. And once you stop you want to do it again.
Anyone else have this problem? Maybe when they're playing double trills with 35 24 on a hand??
How to fix!!??

Yes! This happened to me when I was learning chopin's thirds etude. It happened with 1-3 2-4. I started making it a game to see how many places I could do it. I got:
On the bottom of a 9 foot pool.
On the Eiffel tower.
On a Fazioli piano
On the ceiling of my house.
40 feet up in a tree.
Those were my best ones. I have absolutely no idea how to fix it.

I don't know about the 4-5 trills you mention but biologically thinking there is a linking tendon between the 3 and 4 fingers, I wonder if you are doing some damage here as that motion is going to be putting massive strain on that link. Maybe the way in which you do 4-5 trills also causes the same issue between the 3/4 depending how you trill?
Is the feeling always in the same place regardless of 3-4 or 4-5. do you get the same when you 3-4 trill?
Not sure on Pencil's response ^^ but if he's being serious and said it happens with 13-24 again that 3/4 is being heavily utlized.
In the example you have provided 35-4-35 are you able to change to 13-2-13, feels more natural when I try it also.
