Re: Nocturne in F# Minor- final measures help with grace notes

Re: Sight Reading app recommendations
@Maria One thing to keep in mind is that the medical field being so slow to recognize new clinical entities is not necessarily a bad thing. It prevents potential harm that could come from hastily…

Re: Sight Reading app recommendations
@Maria From a quick survey of the literature I don't think most doctors would know about dysmusia. But then again the medical field is known for not being so quick to recognize new entities.…

Friends, if you haven't started learning your pieces, I recommend you do. Not for the project, but the enjoyment! Case in point, I started learning Vision only for the project,…

@Doug Weiss If anything, I'm the one who would require therapy, IF I wanted to play that repertoire, which I don't 😁. And yet I love to listen to it, especially Beethoven.

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Maria I have to say, nothing scares me more than Schubert's fast octaves passages (e.g., in the Wanderer, or the D784 finale). But I admit I haven't even tried them.…

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Maria In the LH I'd play the second group (the one that starts on a B-flat) as 8 notes that are played in fairly equal duration, those notes being Bb-B-C-Db-D-Eb-E-the low Dd.

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Alexander Weymann I know I just suggested a tempo, but I agree with you. I know I will practice with the desire to reach my ideal tempo of around 100, because that's how I feel the piece.…

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Mark Cooper My score says quaver 100. Arrau sounds like 80 (in tempo, not age!). So.. 80? Let's wait for the input from our saner friends.

@Maria sure! If you play the cadenza, then your part would segue into mine. Imagine the epic ending.
