Haydn sonata 52
on: May 14, 2024, 04:25:43 AM
Could anyone give me some suggestions on how to practice the demisemiquavers clearly and evenly so that I could coordinate r. h and l.h chords better?What is the correct finger technique🙏🏻

I'm sure you've heard this before, but I will still write it – practice slowly! :)
Also, try to vary your slow practice – play the passage sometimes with a beautifully shaped legato, and sometimes with various added accents or rhythms; sometimes with a very loose and moving arm, and sometimes relying more on just finger movement. Ensure you don't tense up when you add more speed, and continue to play musically, not just fast.
Are you thinking about anything in particular when you mention "correct finger technique"?

I saw this very same question on the same passage in a piano group on FB.  I thought some of the answers were very good.  Perhaps you're doing a very broad sweep but if you didn't understand any of those answers, I am happy to explain them, as are those who wrote them potentially.
