Fastly does it...

Posted by Twinbee at 02:58 PM on July 6, 2004.

I'm still working on that impossible part.

Up from 75 beats per minute now to an impressive 90bpm. I need at least 128bpm or even 140bpm to get up to actual speed. 90bpm sounds like a tortoise in comparison! Anyway, it's the last 40bpm (from 90 to 128) that's going to be really hard to attain. Maybe I won't ever even reach it properly without thumbling the notes.

But that's a great thing about practising on keyboard - I get to play a competition with myself trying to beat the record.

A quote from the book...

Now up to 100-105 BPM for that part! My ryhthm is still not perfect throughout the whole tune though. I still have problems on the seventh bar for example (the bar where the melody climbs very high).

Let me quote something from the beginning of the music book - it always makes me cringe:
    There seems no fear that the Fantasie-Impromptu will suffer from neglect, as it is the joy of the amateur, who usually transforms its presto into a slow, blurred mass of badly related rhythms and its slower episode into a long-drawn, sentimental agony

Now why do I feel that was written just for me? :)
I'm gonna just have to practise each and every 3 bar combo a dozen times each - I'm not going to let this this tune beat me =P
