The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

How to improve in the middle section of Chopin's Etude op 10 no 3?
on: August 03, 2022, 07:14:07 PM
Hi, since last year, I started to learn, practice and play Chopin's Etude op 10 no 3. My advance was great, but after I took out the metronome and I wanted to play faster, the middle section has become a disaster. I can play it at 145 bpm per octave with no problem, but once I play the thirds and the sixths, my fingers slip or I play the wrong notes once I jump to play the intervals (specially the right hand). Also in general, I need to focus because if my mind wanders around other things, either I forgot what it is next to play or where I am.

Is there a strategy or a plan so I can play faster and accurate at the same time the middle section?

BTW, I was thinking in playing the Etude op 10 no 1 (of course, slow), can that Etude help me to improve?, or what can I improve and learn from this piece?

Thanks for your advice.
