Chopin Etude - Op.10 No.5
on: May 10, 2003, 04:40:22 AM
Man I was working through it today...  And I got to measure 75...  And I just have to say...  WHAT THE HECK?  I can't seem to reach that F I just am not even getting close.  I tried hitting it with my right hand but thats just as impossible.  I really don't want to leave a note out!  I want to play it right!  This is really disappointing...  It's just way out of my reach...  I can barely reach a 9th musically and a 10th (which this is) is just way out my grasp.  What do I do?  Someone else ever have this problem?

Roll the chord - quickly and lightly. I can strike the chord but I think it is better rolled. Tell me how you do in measures 79-81. I find them very hard.

yes, roll it. ok, i haven't played this piece, but i have many pieces that needs a lot of rolling!

i can reach 9ths but not 10ths. and the best way is to roll the cord fast!
