Beethoven Op 27 No 3 F## trill troubles
on: May 04, 2016, 03:31:31 PM
I'm working on the 3rd movement of Beethoven Op 27 No 3 and about measure 32 (see attached photo), there's an F# trill followed by a couple accidentals that I'm having trouble with. The octave with 1 and 4 is a stretch and because of that, I can kind of play the trill with my pinky (hard to do without the thumb involved) but finger 3 really doesn't want to press down when 1,4 & 5 are in that position. Especially with the F# key in between 3 and 4.

I'm not sure if this is a coordination thing in my brain not wanting to do that or a physiological thing in my hand itself preventing that movement, and/or a lack of strength. I know this is a pretty hard thing to talk about via text, but I thought maybe this was a common trouble spot in the piece and maybe there were some tricks or drills some of you are aware of to achieve this.
