xx Beethoven - Sonata No.26 Op.81a in Eb 3rd movement (Complete version)
June 04, 2007, 02:47:08 PM by cardinals

I started working on this about a month ago...but honestly, I feel there are still many things to be done (this one is one of the pieces to be played in the audition early in next year)...I made a number of recordings and just selected one of them to upload it here...

Could you let me know which are the main things to improve and any practice tips for this?

Also, you will need to maximize the volume (PC and player) to listen to this...

I'd appreciate any comments on this, too. Since I haven't finished practising the remaining part, and this recording is for the first three pages... Smiley

xx Beethoven Sonata Les Adieux 3rd mvt (fingering help)
March 06, 2007, 03:11:26 PM by gruffalo

Hi, im having a problem getting one certain bar up to speed and the fingering that i have used feels awkward. the problem is with the LH in bar 67 coming down from the G. going up in that bar is fine, but it feels so awkward coming down that i cant get it to work. it is an awkward set of notes. the fingering im using for that whole bar is:

5(1) 3 2 1, 432, 12, 312, 312

I have long fingers and this combination just isn't working. Can anyone share that they use or suggest a better one for me? i have to get this up to speed in a few days because i need to play it at a competition on the 25th and hopefully at a concert a few days before that.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

xx choosing a Beethoven piano sonata
June 16, 2006, 04:54:45 AM by ben12345_5

I'm choosing a Beethoven sonata movement to learn next year.  My piano teacher gave me 3 choices:

1) Sonata No. 7 in D Major Op. 10 No. 3 1st mvt. Presto.
2) Sonata No. 18 in Eb Major Op. 31 No. 3 2nd mvt. Scherzo.
3) Sonata No. 26 in Eb Major Op. 81a "Les adieux" 1st mvt.

I think all of these pieces are within my technical ability (my previous pieces include Jeux d'Eau, Chopin Scherzo No. 2, Saint-Saens Piano concerto no. 2 1st mvt), but this is going to be my second priority piece.  I'll mainly be working on Busoni's Carmen Fantasy  Grin  , and I don't have time to learn and polish 2 big pieces.

Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could maybe give me a suggestion on which piece to learn.

Thanks!

xx Les Adieux
October 20, 2005, 10:05:59 AM by mycrabface

Has anyone ever tried sonata opus 81 a (aka Les Adieux)? I was just wondernig whether you're supposed to play the second part(allegro), bar 5 to bar12 using the pedal, because when I play the right hand part of it, it sounds terrible, like the notes aren't held long enough. But when I hold them longer, there's hardly enough time to jump to the next note(as my hand is very small). So what should I do?
