Piano Technique (33C of 38): Arpeggios

[Titere05]

@alpardal: I think the problem is you just can't reliably play an arpeggio at high speeds with thumb-under. Invariably you have to flap out your elbow and you lose a lot of control

thanks for this sir!

a 1234 1235 apreggio uses similar technique? cause i just cant get it to sound like it should :(

You are welcome! I dare not try to diagnose this without seeing you play... I would be happy to try is you could send a video of you playing the passage in question. Frank from piano-ology

Again, preparation of the thumb going under to land on the high C is best accomplished by beginning the right arm lifting outward early, just as you would rotate and adjust the yaw for the hand over the keys if it was a scale. Don't wait for the last second to create the big swing. "Teamwork".
