should I relax completely the left hand after the initial squeezed bridge that you describe or be relaxed but keep a squeezed grip in some way through the bar I mean would this help my right hand adopt better standing and growing through the line or just improve right hand somehow. I find going up the hardest which is probably just lack of technique in flexibility and slow fingers or not all activating properly certainly will try the standing thumb and legato more as I was using a whipping motion through the hand low wrist to higher wrist thumb through to pinky and definitely felt natural but at speed i need to stand and more level wrist i guess. have had alot of problems to play the pinky rather than rotate into it as this seems to work and of course the weight will not be correct for the pinky unless i do rotate at least and its also needed to prepare the thumb i think. there are less accented pinky on the way up in most interpretations than coming down in 2 motives. although alot of your bone structure works very well in many ways with this etude and has been very beneficial it did present issues due to pivoting or rotating into the notes I find getting the flow with active fingers/fingertips and flexable wrist to play every note rather than pivot or rotate into them is the way forward for me but might take many years of course eventually I should use everything together my hands are still learning to stand up nevermind walking and running .. its interesting to note the amazing differences you see in technique especially with this etude ..also the note chopin made saying it relearns everything ! if you might talk about this in future is this with regards to the pinky being insensitive and ending up playing like a stiff rotating plank ? hope that your legato standing thumb on way up can solve this when joining that third or fourth from pinky tyty
Excellent question. Alan will be doing a tutorial soon on the "rocket" passages near the end of Mephisto Waltz that will address your questions beautifully. Stay tuned!
