La Campanella
on: October 02, 2015, 10:07:47 PM
I recently started La Campanella, and was going fine, almost had the first page under control in the first day. Then I listened to a recording again and heard that I was not playing the echo part right (The high D# it sounds like). Why do you play these? On my score, there is nothing there except for quasi campanelle in italics. I looked this up and couldn't find anything.

He asked this same question somewhere else, I think, and it was answered.

@OP If you can't even figure out why it's there, you're leagues away from ever being ready.
La Campanella, despite being "little bell" translated, is not a little piece by any stretch of the imagination; it requires nothing less than exceptional (though, not quite transcendental *ba dum tss*) in just about every facet of technique it covers.
I mean that in the nicest way, as DC does, but please, do yourself a favor and tackle some easier music.

Really? I think it's quite a lovely piece, if you play it well.
That aside, this isn't the place to talk about it. I don't mind you complementing my repertoire choices, just not here ;)

this one is really tough... and if you don't have the technique to handle it you will spread your hand as wide as it will go and slam stiff fingers back and forth trying somehow to stretch and octave plus a fifth..which is not possible and not only will it sound terrible..  LC can hurt your hands. 

would you go into the gym and expect to start bench pressing 300lbs when you have never lifted a single weight in your life?... because that's kinda what you are doing here.
