How to practice fast piano trills and runs?
on: December 25, 2016, 11:44:03 AM
Hi all,

4 years ago, I started composing original piano music. However, this is my first attempt to compose a piece with some fast runs, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how do you practices fast piano runs or trills?


 I would also love to hear your feedback and comments in every aspect of the performance.

How is your composition relevant on how to practice fast trills and runs?   You are spamming this forum with your composition... which means LESS forum members will listen and comment...not MORE.  

Edited to add:   It is annoying that this is your trend: you show up here periodically and post the same video to three or four threads.   Why don't you stay around and contribute to this forum rather than showing up periodically and spamming with your new composition?

Sounds like a cheesy movie score.

It is relevant as it shows the idea that I am trying to reach (the video serves just as an example not more) and I am not spamming the forum, I just use videos to illustrate my point in a more clear way... And if you look closely to this "trend", you will find that my questions are always related to my compositions in some matter and that's what I genuinely want to know. For example, in the other post, I was asking about favorite composers as I am creating a sheet of (inspirational composers) that I was planning to post on the forum, I really appreciate your understanding

Is there a specific reason why it gives you that feeling?

Have you studied composition? It just seems like you use pop progressions of like 20 30 years ago. The musical motion is not interesting to people here but mind suffice to people with less musical education like 60 year old grandmas who like whatever.

Its really square, and doesnt really go anywhere.

Like I could look up and find 10 pieces which would not be any much different than this.

Analyze Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and other composers, their harmonic progressions.

At this point this sounds like playing by ear something off a melodrama.
