Tips on doing two trills on one hand?
I’m learning Beethoven Sonata #32, op 111, Heinrich Schenker edition. In the second movement, page 610 starting at bar 126 through 127, it calls for two trills on one hand, b and a flat.
I’ve watched recordings of Claudio Arrau (but the camera angle had the left hand in the way) and Rudolf Serkin (camera panned away during that sequence) so I couldn’t study their finger movements.
Anyone have a trick at strengthening the fingers for double trills on one hand? Any drills perhaps?
I’ve ehm-ed and ah-ed with myself for several hours before coming back to your Q, but faced with the choice of either leaving you in a fool’s paradise or stating a few blunt facts, I have to opt for the latter.
No-one, without exception, can even dust the cover of op.111, never mind play it, until their technical control is simply *sovereign* in every respect. The musical problems of the severest of severe order are bad enough to have to deal with, without your physical weaponry being crippled from the outset.
There are no tips to be given. If you don’t know how to trill in double-whatevers, this is not the way to learn that. Dirty laundry of that technical kind is what we solve in the years of technical study leading up to the moment when we timidly start to dare to think of cutting our teeth on a first reading of the Beethoven late sonatas, usually late twenties into early thirties, with a few hundred concert appearances under our belts.
Step back, treat op.111 as an admirable goal to strive for, and set about methodically building a soundly founded technique under the guidance of a good teacher, and with much hard labour and the passing of time, you will return to this point and be able to solve the issues inherent in op.111 as an independent artist at our instrument in your own right, and it will come to you quite naturally.
(As regards camera angles and ‘watching’ to ‘learn’, I could allow you to sit and watch me at close quarters, eight hours a day (there are limits
Regroup, rethink and then set out afresh. What you’re asking here is based on folly.
All the very best to you,
