@Ken Radford I myself cannot span a 10th, so those would be out of reach for me. I would consider the following: 1. Try playing them modified as a rolled chords,…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Barbara Sunseri Hi Barbara! Since this event is 2 weeks away I thought I'd share what I would do for fingering. I have a pretty average sized hand and I like fingering that lets me keep similar…

Re: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto Third Movement grace notes
Hello Javier, I would default to before the beat for Tchaikovsky for grace notes, and here in particular it keeps the playful rhythm more clear. The tempo would make them pretty squished on the beat.…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!

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