  • thank you, Can you teach me the fingering idea in bar 17 - 20? Using 4-5-4 is so difficult to perform fast, are there any other fingering idea? I also face the same problem in bar 24

  • @owenlo1994 -- If you have difficulty with 4-5-4 I guess 2 solutions come to mind: Octave fingering 1-5 would work, you can get a fair amount of speed if you keep your fingers close to notes, slide rather than jump helps join them together in legato. Alternately, practice the chromatic scale 3-4-5 rather than 1-2-3 (see my 2nd tut. Chopin's Etude 10/2 for explan.) 10/2 is a great study for legato octaves, strange though that would might seem. Also, relax your wrist, tension slows you down.

  • That's inspired me to relearn this. You'd better go into hiding, because my wife's going to be after you with a baseball bat!

  • @jbsemple2010 ha! - I'm in Thailand, I can get to a remote island until you're finished :) message me when it's safe to return ...
