Help with finger strength
on: September 23, 2024, 09:51:29 PM
Hello! I am practicing Beethoven Sonata 7 MVT 1, and I am having trouble keeping strong and independent fingers. What are some exercises to help me improve?

No exercise will be good without thourough instruction on how to use it safely and efficiently. Do you have a teacher?

As lelle said above, how about efficiency as opposed to strength?

Can you be more specific with your question.  What parts of the music are you playing that lead to your response of having trouble keeping strong and independent fingers?

Can you post a video recording playing the section of music in question.
