I always change fingers on slow and fast repeated notes, because I know for
a fact it preserves the health of my hands.
Absolutely correct advice–certainly in keeping with good teachers that
I’ve studied from–it was taught to me exactly this way. Trying to play
repeated notes with the SAME finger? I’ve never heard of it, and why do it
the hard way? Try both ways, and I’m sure most people, having the same
physiology (as we nearly all do), will realise “by feel” that alternating
fingers is much easier, and automatically produces a better legato. Thanks,
Robert…another lesson of knowledge and wisdom!
Hey, look up “Valentina Lisitsa plays Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2”
here on youtube. She is even playing fast repeated notes on the piano with
the same finger. Its around 5:28 shes is an insane pianist.
Nice explanation, thank you very much !!!
If you think that’s impressive, watch her video on Liszt’s Totentanz.
thanks for good explanation, i have a proper idea to accompaniment when i
hear this technique.
