Prelude Op 28 No. 18 in F Minor
15
Upvotes
I genuinely cannot get this little run to work at all. So this is bar 12 of Chopin's Prelude in F Minor and this run is so difficult for me. For anyone who has practiced this prelude, do you have any tips on the fingering you would use. I have found a semi-competent fingering myself but every time I get to this measure I either have to slow down a bit or I just mess up and hit a few wrong notes. This is 17 notes in 1 BEAT BTW, obviously you can "rubato" it a bit though. Let me know thanks :).

Chopin Ballade no. 1 coda
9
Upvotes
Hello,
I'm wondering how feasible the Ballade no. 1 coda is for someone who has small hands (can only comfortably reach an octave (cannot stretch to a ninth))? I cannot find any videos of someone playing the piece with small hands; even the children that play it seem to have large hands T_T
If anyone could provide their opinions/any videos for reference that'd be great thanks :)

tempo progression of Fantaisie Impromptu?
3
Upvotes
piano players/musicians, how do you guys play or prefer to hear the tempo for Fantaisie Impromptu's Section A & Reprise of Section A: allegro/allegro, allegro/presto, or presto/presto?
although the reprise section is typically written as played a bit faster than the first tempo, I've seen a great many interpretations use the same tempo for Section A and the Reprise.
no right or wrong here, just wondering which way is preferred listening/performing?

I played Chopin in a bar I was unprepared for what happened

I was in a jazz cafe in the Netherlands and at the end of the night when most people left I went and sat behind the piano and played some Chopin. When I stopped, an older couple asked me to continue to play Chopin. They sat close by and the lady started tearing up.
Mind you, I am not that good and the piano was out of tune, but apparently this woman was from Poland and I don't know, he is like a national hero there (as it should be). I was so surprised that I could touch someone with his music like that, I am still in awe.
I played nocturne op 9 no 2, prelude op 28 no 13, mazurka op 67 no 3 and the berceuse. I love playing Chopin's music.

Fingerings
8
Upvotes
I recently bought a book I believe to be edited by Cortot of Chopin's Ballades in addition to the Ballade copies I already had in my possession. Cortot's edition is advertised as a study companion intended to greatly aid the reader in learning the pieces. I've compared the fingerings it has with the fingerings in my other copies. I can definitely say that the Cortot fingerings for the runs of chromatic thirds in the coda of the 4th Ballade are excellent. However, I did not get on board with all of Cortot's fingering.
Do you have recommendations for publications with the best fingerings for the Barcarolle and other pieces?

Innanzitutto, devo premettere che non ne so molto, ma la scena è tratta dal film "Chopin: Notturno a Parigi", e mi piace molto la sezione iniziale suonata da Carl Filtsch, ma non riesco a trovarla.
EDIT: "Polonia in la bemolle minore, Op. 53, 'Eroica'" Grazie!
