Practice tips for this section

[svensknavi]

Hello all. So I'm working on a piece, and I'm currently struggling with this little 2 bar section. In short, I guess I'd describe it as that as soon as the arpeggio starts, I'm having troubles maintaining the left hand's "effect". Can still get the rhythm at slow speeds, but it's losing the slightly staccato tone that I'm getting in the first measure, probably due to focusing on the legato in the right hand. Anyone have any tips for practicing this part? (And.. For pedaling, would would play this section without pedal, due to the nature of the left hand here? Thanks!

Maybe try exaggerating the LH staccato; treat the eighths as a sixteenth and a sixteenth rest. Try that together with just a beat or two worth of the right hand legato sixteenths. Do it over and over until you get comfortable with the feeling of playing staccato in the LH and legato in the RH.

You really just need to have each hand under control to the degree that you monitor them at the same time. In the meanwhile, work slowly, gradually adding speed . . . but don't increase the speed beyond your ability to control the articulation.

Consider tapping it out on a table or something, not even the notes, just the rhythm so you feel is naturally

Slow continuous practice with bursts of trying it at speed is also good splitting between the 2 as you feel is necessary pushes you to 'get it'

Like riding a bike you can't practice the motion of one pedal than the other, you've got to throw it together get going, crash a couple of times, start again slowly and done - you get it.
