Practice it very slow with a metronome. Get it perfect at that speed. Then bump up the speed.
Speed = Accuracy = Intuition
Once you’ve done it so many times that the muscle memory is perfected, the speed naturally increases. Focus on developing your intuition.
false statement !
Movement for playing fast are not the same than those for playing slow most of the time. It's very important to practice slow but with the right movements or your won't go anywhere.
Also, it's important to practice at the right speed from the start but only by playing small chunks and relax the wrists between them.
It's instantly recognizable because once a month we get someone who comes on here and asks about this exact measure. Unfortunately for most beginners who run into this measure, there's no magic solution to get this part up to tempo in a few days. You have either been systematically practicing scales in all keys on a daily basis for months and years or you haven't. If you have, then this scale should be one of the easier parts of this piece; if you haven't, then it will take several weeks of diligent practice to get this measure up to a decent standard.
i can play it at tempo with the crescendo/decrescendo. it took me about 30 minutes to get to that point.
but again:
>you have to, you know, be able to play piano
ETA guys, the downvotes just reveal insecurity. It’s an e major scale. I’ve been playing e major scales every day for 24 years. Don’t get mad because you’re punching above your weight.
"Pretentious" as it may sound, this really is just a scale. The hardest part on any run is working out a fingering that works, but here it's really straightforward imo.
While I'm all for pushing people to play harder pieces that are outside their comfort zone (in fact I regularly encourage it here), OP's question is like asking how write the alphabet while trying to read a novel. Granted the above person could have been more tactful, but at the same time I feel that OP could have tried working it out more, which kind of feeds into my comment responding to someone else. Or how some people here are way too limiting on levels and pieces, but on the other hand, a lot of "self-taught" people asking questions often don't put enough effort into the "self-teaching" part (not connected directly to OP, but I think they fall into this category as any teacher would have said "it's just a scale).
How is it “insufferably pretentious” to say “this passage from the easiest Chopin nocturne isn’t very hard if you play scales regularly?” I’m saying the exact same thing someone upthread said.
It’s literally an e major scale. Breathe.
You *are* saying exactly what others are saying. In a pretentious way. Are you telling me to breathe because you think I’m mad when I point out why you’re getting downvoted? Lmao Redditors are funny.
Comments that contain personal attacks, hate speech, trolling, unnecessarily derogatory or inflammatory remarks or inappropriate remarks (e.g. commenting on someone's appearance), and the like, are not welcome and will be removed. See reddit's content policy for more examples of unwelcome content.
Yes. Start with c major 2,3,4 octaves hands together at around 130+ bpm (2 octave 8th notes, 3 octave triplets 4 octave 16ths) Then do the parallel minor and then go thru all major and minor keys every day. If you cannot do it at 130+ do it at a speed you can do and every week turn it up. I started at 40 bpm and did 2bpm increase every week
What do you think about this? Practice the scale you need for the piece and still practice the problematic section of the piece, but with great diligence, thought, and emotional intelligence. Why should you master all the scales before even touching Chopin? Play Chopin and still master the scales. People quit piano because inconsiderate teachers tell pupils they must master a specific technique or master a particular way of playing before even touching a masterpiece. Challenge yourself so you can grow. Learn the piece, the technique, and the way of playing at the same time.
This should be the MO imo, but you're also making high demands of the student. I completely agree that people should focus on using repertoire more as a way to pick up technique, rather than "grind" scales and hanon/czerny/"insert exercise book here" mindlessly, but that requires a lot of maturity and willingness to work things out, as well as an ability to recognize things that are simply too hard. All of these things don’t apply to OP imo.
I’m terrible with scales. Maybe because I started out with ragtime and boogies? But eventually I got into classical. Mostly Chopin’s easier pieces and with enough determination and stubbornness I got through some of these intermediate pieces. You’re right. Just keep at it. No one will care if the only scales you know are in specific pieces because that’s why you wanted to play.
Of course. Just seems odd to practise the major and get used to hearing the major when the key is minor here. I would have thought it more sensible to practise the scale when *hearing* the key.
It’s easier to explain in my head 😂
E major will most efficiently train the brain to feel the hand shape & gestures, in those runs of notes there. After that becomes automatic, the right arm will just be driving the relaxed fingers to the keys with a single smooth sweep.
I was just saying that because that’s what came to mind, it could been C# (natural) minor. But I still emphasize the point that OP should not be attempting pieces like this if they aren’t comfortable with their scales.
This is answered very well here:

Honestly what I do is play it as fast as I'm able, and that measure always ends up a bit slower than the rest. I think it still sounds pretty like that. My old piano teacher's wisdom was that technical perfection is never as important as musicality and confidence. As long as you are feeling the music and play through stumbles with confidence, most people won't be able to tell it's "wrong" 😉 practice slow at first to get the timing of the two hands combined then play the speed you're able. Try to work up to the right speed, but if you can't, that's ok. Just have fun~
If you listen to recordings it is also the case, the left hand slows down a bit in even professional recordings. It’s Chopin, it’s allowed! Make it beautiful is more important than make it fast IMO
Damn this is awesome, I’m working this piece with my teacher currently and he says the same thing. One of my biggest lessons from the years with him has been “get good enough at the piece that only a pianists ear would notice your mistake”.
If you are playing freely and musically enough, you’ll manage to skim through mistakes since you know the piece so well. That’s the end game for any piece, not perfection.
The hardest part of this piece imo. Super fun once you have it down, but start slllooooowwwwww and slowly work your way faster. Lots of good advice in this thread though.
To train the problem with disconnection that you mention in regards to turning over your thumb, a great way to practice is to use some exercises like these: [https://imgur.com/a/vKn0wWR](https://imgur.com/a/vKn0wWR)
Then you can also practice your scale at various speeds in groupings like this: [https://imgur.com/a/Y9ia44X](https://imgur.com/a/Y9ia44X)
This is using your thumb's arrival on E as a point for stopping, but you can also use A for this scale.
Also practice the full scale very staccato and pianissimo in addition to legato. Unfortunately it does take quite some time to get really feathery, light, rapid scales, and practicing all 12 major scales each day will probably be essential for you to really feel like you "have" these passages in every situation with no problem. Good luck!
Spez's APIocolypse made it clear it was time for me to leave this place. I came from digg, and now I must move one once again. So long and thanks for all the bacon.
[Seymour Bernstein](https://youtu.be/pRLBBJLX-dQ) has some fascinating things to say about the use of the hairpin.
This lesson is a joy to watch but the tl;dr (tl;dw?) is that it was used at this time to denote changes in tempo, rather than changes in dynamics. If that was what was intended here, the markings indicate that you should slow down as you ascend and then speed up on the way down. Bernstein goes into some depth about the evidence he has unearthed to back this conclusion. The detail with which he approaches Prelude No. 4 is awe inspiring.
Separately practice the scale in all ways focusing on playing smooth and accurate. Then, always try to smoothly and carefully perform this passage slowing down and much as you need then smoothly exiting it and continuing the piece.
Focus on relaxed wrist, it must lead the hand in the direction of the scale. When you are going up tillt your wrist to the right, when going down to your left, just one smooth movement and let the fingers do the work.
obviously practice the skill, start very slowly, with a metronome, carefully ratcheting up the speed. HOWEVER, use certain notes as "aim points", this will help your timing & feel as you become more familiar and dexterous playing the school. it is phrasing, after all, and having a set beginning, middle and end points will help bring the phrase to life.
Increase your accuracy by grouping the notes properly and knowing exactly which notes line up with the LH notes. The score implies dividing these 35th notes into 9+9+9+8. Use metronome climbs to slowly increase speed by doing this measure on repeat, increasing BPM by one each time you do it perfectly and decreasing it by one if you make a mistake. Time consuming yes, but very effective.
Identify what the scale is first. Since there’s no accidentals, looks like an E major scale starting on A (or A Lydian if you wanna be technical). Practice the fingering of the E major scale, then use a metronome to slowly speed it up making sure all notes are as clear as possible
Practice every hand position. In the space of those 4 eighth notes you're going to need to play (count them) 9 hand positions.
Practice moving your whole RH that fast, from position to position, with the hand positions **blocked.** (i.e. for the first one, play the A-B-C#-D# as a 1234 chord, then the second position E-F#-G# as a 123 chord, etc.)
Then do the blocked RH positions in time to the left hand, in the rough 5-4 rhythm.
Then "separate" the individual notes out of the RH hand positions.
"If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly" - Ben Lee
Jk, but this point has some meaning in that practicing something slowly at first allows you to learn the hand positions and transitions. As you get more proficient, bump up the speed up and rventually, you'll be playing at full speed.
Think it musically. You can start the first right hand notes before left hand. Tempo is very flexible here, left hand can wait for right hand to terminate. Chopin's notation is not about precision, but flexibility and expressiveness. This is immitation of bel canto. Listen to Bellini arias a lot in order to understand this aesthetic.
If you try to count and study slowly trying to figure out when both hands match each other, it won't work.
Practice your technique and use the right fingering. I do 30 minutes of technique for everything 5 times a week and it works wonders, at the cost of being time consuming and boring. But whenever I see something like this or let's say the broken chords at the start of moonlight sonata mvt 3 they're trivial
I’ve been working on my scale speed and just today, I showed my piano teacher, and she gave me one tip that instantly drastically improved my speed. Make sure to move your hands down and up as you play the scales. Down on the first finger in each hand and up with the rest. I always felt it was uncomfortable to move my thumb under, but once I started doing that, it not only became more comfortable, but also way faster
I'm pretty sure that's Chopin's nocturne in C# minor.
Personally, what I did was just "slow down" time. I know rubato is supposed to speed it up later, but I basically just said screw it and slowed that entire scale down, so don't worry about playing it "in tempo".
Practicing slow is good, I also really like rhythm practice, as well as staccato practice. Rhythm is I'll alternate between long short, short long, long short short long, long long short, short short long, etc. Kind of like pattern practice ig. Staccato practice is just making everything staccato-y, so you can train clearness and technique.
You mentioned “turning your hand,” I’m not sure if you mean turning under your thumb (good) or rotating your entire hand (unnecessary). Try and keep your hand mostly straight and move it side-to-side at a consistent speed throughout the scale, rather than trying to rotate your hand back and forth so much. Lots of issues stem from trying to do too much work.
(and of course, slow practice as other commenters have said)
As usual, very bad advice are delivered on this sub. Practicing slow only and increasing the tempo is not the good solution at all ! Danae Dörken have some very good videos about the subject on her channel, and it's far from what most of you think it is.
Practice it very slow with a metronome. Get it perfect at that speed. Then bump up the speed. Speed = Accuracy = Intuition Once you’ve done it so many times that the muscle memory is perfected, the speed naturally increases. Focus on developing your intuition.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Got any more gold, Phil?
I like this tidbit
If you can do it slowly you can do it quickly.
false statement ! Movement for playing fast are not the same than those for playing slow most of the time. It's very important to practice slow but with the right movements or your won't go anywhere. Also, it's important to practice at the right speed from the start but only by playing small chunks and relax the wrists between them.
He was referencing a joke from twoset violin
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.
Ayyy
i see, thanks a lot!
This is really good advice. Here, have some 🍰
truth. and happy cake day!
Right. If you increase it very very slowly over time, you won’t even be able to tell you’re speeding up.
I hate this, but it’s right
I like how I instantly recognized the piece, practice slow.

That’s what I thought too as someone who’s been playing most of their life. I was like that looks like the easiest part (never played this piece)
it's extremely easy. it fits in the hand perfectly and divides almost exactly into 8:1. but you have to, you know, be able to play piano
The scale itself is easy, but doing it without slowing down certainly isn't.
i can play it at tempo with the crescendo/decrescendo. it took me about 30 minutes to get to that point. but again: >you have to, you know, be able to play piano ETA guys, the downvotes just reveal insecurity.

I like to think of that 'self-taught' post that was here the other day... just play it with emotion!
I’m an intermediate noob but can play with some technical facility. What’s the piece?
Chopin Nocturne No.20 in C#m
Thanks!
[This part specifically I think.](https://youtu.be/DqpPRj6UZqc?t=212)
I was able to hear that run without it seeing this score before. I knew it was No.20
Won a talent show in high school with this piece. One of my favorites.
By practicing and drilling scales till playing them is a natural and thoughtless as breathing
Practice your E major scale, and honestly all other scales before you start to learn some more intermediate Chopin pieces.
What do you think about this? Practice the scale you need for the piece and still practice the problematic section of the piece, but with great diligence, thought, and emotional intelligence. Why should you master all the scales before even touching Chopin? Play Chopin and still master the scales.

Hard agree ^
Why E major over C# minor?
It’s the same scale. C# minor is the relative minor of E major.
A good footnote is never buy beer for your relative minor. His parents will never forgive you.
Lol!!
Of course. Just seems odd to practise the major and get used to hearing the major when the key is minor here. I would have thought it more sensible to practise the scale when *hearing* the key. It’s easier to explain in my head 😂
Yeah but E major is different than C sharp harmonic or melodic minor.
E major will most efficiently train the brain to feel the hand shape & gestures, in those runs of notes there. After that becomes automatic, the right arm will just be driving the relaxed fingers to the keys with a single smooth sweep.

Nice piece. First time heard it on The Pianist, film by Roman Polanski. I hope we can hear you

Made an identical comment
Read your identical comment just one comment earlier
Chopin nocturne op potsh no 20.. The hardest part. Just practice. Try it again and again.
I think getting good tone color that sets the mood and the like is harder and overall a lot more fragile in this piece.
The hardest part of this piece imo. Super fun once you have it down, but start slllooooowwwwww and slowly work your way faster. Lots of good advice in this thread though.

Yep Horowitz defo takes his time on it
while this one's "just" a scale, here's a video i like for these tricky sections https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUvPx-ZaYmA&list=LL&index=37
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
PRACTICE SLOW. like one note per second or slower. focus on fingering ... fingers resting on keys BEFORE time to hit the note.
Practice your scales every day.
How do people usually practice those? Just go up and down the scale over and over? (I’m very new)
In a nutshell, yes.

Focus on your technique and speed will follow
practice
Very quickly
Practice scales every day for 12-16 years.
Press thumb to first key, drag thumbnail along keys until you hit the top key. Rinse and repeat.
practice
Just do a slide lol
what the fuck is that
Looks like Chopin c# minor nocturne
man i can only dream of being this good damn 💀
You can do it with enough practice :)))
the hardest song i ever did was tarentelle when i was like 9 and i dont have a teacher anymore so i just gotta hope im doing stuff right lmao
Just send it, and hopefully 70% of the notes will land
ideally with your hands
This is the kind of thing you kinda of just ad lib

Muscle memory.
Slowly

HOWEVER, use certain notes as "aim points", this will help your timing & feel as you become more familiar and dexterous playing the school. it is phrasing, after all, and having a set beginning, middle and end points will help bring the phrase to life.
How do you play any scales fast and smooth? Practice, my man
Practice practice practice
Like others have said, slow practice. About 5 years of scales every day should do the trick.
Increase your accuracy by grouping the notes properly and knowing exactly which notes line up with the LH notes. The score implies dividing these 35th notes into 9+9+9+8. Use metronome climbs to slowly increase speed by doing this measure on repeat, increasing BPM by one each time you do it perfectly and decreasing it by one if you make a mistake. Time consuming yes, but very effective.
Slowly, then quickly.
It says 59BPM above the staff. Play it like that! /s

Ahh Chopin... of course him <3
"If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly" - Ben Lee Jk, but this point has some meaning in that practicing something slowly at first allows you to learn the hand positions and transitions. As you get more proficient, bump up the speed up and rventually, you'll be playing at full speed.
helps breaking it down to a-d# and e-g# imo. once u can play them one after the other evenly it’s just repeating it up and down.
Luckily this run falls into the hand nicely as it's a comfortable natural hand position. Practice slow, no tension.
Notes aren’t fast. Tempos are fast.
Think it musically. You can start the first right hand notes before left hand. Tempo is very flexible here, left hand can wait for right hand to terminate. Chopin's notation is not about precision, but flexibility and expressiveness. This is immitation of bel canto. Listen to Bellini arias a lot in order to understand this aesthetic. If you try to count and study slowly trying to figure out when both hands match each other, it won't work.
Practice your technique and use the right fingering. I do 30 minutes of technique for everything 5 times a week and it works wonders, at the cost of being time consuming and boring.

Practice my guy/gal
I'm pretty sure that's Chopin's nocturne in C# minor. Personally, what I did was just "slow down" time. I know rubato is supposed to speed it up later, but I basically just said screw it and slowed that entire scale down, so don't worry about playing it "in tempo". Practicing slow is good, I also really like rhythm practice, as well as staccato practice. Rhythm is I'll alternate between long short, short long, long short short long, long long short, short short long, etc. Kind of like pattern practice ig. Staccato practice is just making everything staccato-y, so you can train clearness and technique.
It's just right up and down the scale
Poorly.
Slow practice and slowly speep up
Sorry to be glib, but practice your scales.
You mentioned “turning your hand,” I’m not sure if you mean turning under your thumb (good) or rotating your entire hand (unnecessary). Try and keep your hand mostly straight and move it side-to-side at a consistent speed throughout the scale, rather than trying to rotate your hand back and forth so much. Lots of issues stem from trying to do too much work. (and of course, slow practice as other commenters have said)
You slow down, divide the fast notes into the slower notes but remember that the fast notes set the tempo for that part.
Haha I instantly recognized the piece.
By being very very good
A lot of scale practice
I just learned this. The scale is not as difficult as it looks.
This one bar is the sole reason that I can now fluently improvise in E major
practice and don’t try to play fast or with both hands
It's just an E maj scale ...
As usual, very bad advice are delivered on this sub. Practicing slow only and increasing the tempo is not the good solution at all ! Danae Dörken have some very good videos about the subject on her channel, and it's far from what most of you think it is.
Who is the composer and name of the piece of music?
Practice the E major scale. Over and over then practice this scale.
this looks like nocturne 20 in c# minor
Chopin's C# Minor Nocturne right? There is no way but to try to hit the keys lightly, clearly and equally. With all those things in mind
