Tempest sonata 1st movement - forearm pain in tremolos

on: May 18, 2024, 03:57:51 PM

Hello. I’m having problems measures 100 and 101 tremolo of the Fsharp minor and then B minor. When I’m trying to play it faster like 185 bpm my forearm starts hurting. Do you guys have any tips how to play it with no tension? Thanks

Practice slowly. Check that the fingers are absolutely relaxed when not used to hold down a key at all times. Check that your wrists are free from tension at all times. Only increase speed if you can do this. Do not increase speed further than where you can still do this and be patient, speed will come automatically in its own time if you do things right.

But the best solution is to get a good teacher, it's the most efficient route to solving this issue!
