@NoelAs I already said, you may do as you like! I was answering a question (that wasn't even yours) with some pedagogically supported advice because I have dealt with this type of passage work…

Re: Week 4 — Share Your Playing 🎶
@Noel Nguyen Well yes, to each their own is true. A person can use 12121212 and could make it work but it is not ideal efficiency for the type of figuration.…

Re: Week 4 — Share Your Playing 🎶
@Maria Both your fingering and Noel's LH fingering are good options. For the speed of this piece, I'd likely use Noel's suggestion myself so that you can stay more connected to key but both work so…

Re: Is this piece too hard for me? Let's figure it out with Dominic
@Andrew Hi Andrew. These are thoughtful questions! I'm sure Dominic will give great answers but I thought I might add to the conversation for you since it is a few weeks away.…

Re: The Metronome: Good or Bad? (with David Chang and Dominic)
@Superblonde DotOrg I can't speak for all instructors but the contentiousness of metronome markings-especially for Chopin's music (particularly the Nocturnes)- is pretty well understood and discussed…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Brian Woolford What edition is that fingering from? That seems like a printing error as 3 1 4 makes no sense in the RH for that figuration. Oh I see, the 1 and 4 should be moved over to match the…

Re: Week 2: Clarity and Articulation!
@Ellen Weaver Hi Ellen! Thank you for sharing. I think you are on the right track! You have a gliding tempo with a controlled LH and a singing RH that is attentive to the articulation.…

Re: Week 2: Clarity and Articulation!
@Maria That makes sense since the posts I have seen from you indicate that you are knowledgable pianist with a wide range of repertoire and style practice experience.

Re: Week 2: Clarity and Articulation!
@Maria The two editions have very different purposes but you raise an important point. For those that do not know, urtext editions try to present the score in a way that the publisher feels is the…

Re: Week 2: Clarity and Articulation!
@Claire Hello. The Bärenreiter and Henle editions are of course wonderful, but if you have many questions about playing Mozart you may value a good student edition like those published by Alfred.…

Re: Week 2: Clarity and Articulation!
@Maria I would do the following. It is similar to what I saw you post in the other thread but using 3 for the first note after the leap to the higher register will be slightly faster than a 2 since…

Re: Piano Manufacturers and Brands: A discussion!
@Larry K It is indeed a beautiful upright piano that really plays well and has an impressive sound. I absolutely loved it while I had it. The actual sostenuto pedal was an added bonus (I don't often…

Re: Kickoff for the March Mozart Challenge!
I may play a sonata slow movement like the K. 280 Adagio. However, I also like the idea of @Astrida about a concerto movement so I may instead do the Romance movement from the D Minor concerto.…

Re: Piano Manufacturers and Brands: A discussion!
Often the discussion about pianos focuses on the quality of the sound (of course!) or affordability. I live in central BC, Canada and I have learned to really value customer care and servicing access…

Re: Piano Manufacturers and Brands: A discussion!
@Vanessa Ellermann The YUS5 is a quite a beautiful upright! I had one for three years until recently. I didn't have the silent system though but I know they are quite popular.
