I'm on my way learning this beautiful piece as well. But i have a question to the technique: When theres the first reprise of the theme (the octaves) he sort of "jumps" when the left hand has the turn. I play it always in the "typical" way (such as fingers 5 - 1)? Thanks for information...

And finally... he played it soo well!

Thanks Roxana, :) can you try and be a little more specific on the problem your having? Which time in the video is it?

[24Roxana24]

I think its about 45 seconds. It's hard to tell you that in english, you know. Um.. It looks very hard not to be off on mark, when you "jump" with your left hand. But it seems to be more comfortable, because your arm's not in the way. I play it always equal to the right hand. I hope you understood what I mean. So can you tell me, why you do so and if its easier to play? Thanks :-)

[vivace119]

basically...the left hand crosses over and the sensible fingering for it to do is something like a 3,2.

It would be both uncomfortable and inpractical to do a Left hand 5-1.....because that makes the Left hand stretch further than it has too.

The edition I have also suggests 3,2.

Also, you can try touching your Left Hand 3 and 2 fingers together and trying the leap like that...this should make it more stable for you.

Is this helpful?

Is this piece harder than Jeux d'eau?

[vivace119]

not sure but i know jeux d'eau is a real beast to play...lots of hand sharing techniques to deal with...it's probably tougher.

[nousernamewhatsoever]

at 1:38 try playing the octavas with both hands.That should make your life a lot easier.

Jeux d'eau is not as idiomatic as Liszt to play. A lot of stretches across the piano keyboard, and all the while you need to maintain the lightness in quality and colors.

Good job with Liszt. Try to make it more beyond time, i.e. take your time. And a sense of direction with phrases where any phrase is going. One version of Jeux d'eau I like is by Andre Laplante (Ravel)
