Where most people go wrong with this piece is with the rhythm in the first part, i think, so make sure you get it right!!!
Whatever, if you like op.13 you should learn it!!!
I think the 2nd is the most difficult..
I'm learning both the 1st and 3rd movements right now, and I find that the 3rd is much more difficult for me to get up to speed
I think the third movement is more or less just muscle memory and knowing exactly where your fingers need to be
Single most important point with tremolos - avoid tension.
I can't explain this:I'm learning both the 1st and 3rd movements right now, and I find that the 3rd is much more difficult for me to get up to speed. Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have any general tips on the 3rd movement?
Unhelpful advice. Applies to Rach 3, Brahms 2, anyone's paganini variations, Mazeppa, ***zt b minor sonata, what have you.
From my 7 months of practicing the Allegro incorrectly and 1 month of learning it to a still-deplorable level, I've figured out that to play the tremoli, you need to feel as if you're slapping the piano and flapping around with your left hand. Controlled flapping, but definitely not an overplanned-note playing.
My appendix of sonata tempos says the correct tempo is in the range of 96 (Czerny) to 112 (Haslinger). So yes, 96 is fine - and it sounds good as far as I can tell.-Rach3
Who is Beethovan?
I agree. I learnt the Pathetique for a diploma exam and actually injured my LH practicing those tremolos resulting in a bit of physio and weeks of no LH work My problem is that I have a rather small hand and can only just reach an octave so the constant octave stretch combined with tremololololo wasnt easy for me. Practice carefully and at the first sign of ANY discomfort STOP.
