If you can't play it with clarity, your speed is worthless.You have achieved only a kind of "fake" speed.Please go back to "Start" and don't take $4000! Accuracy and musicality of rhythm, sound and dynamics must come first.Or do you think it has no reason that even Horowitz said that this etude is unbelievably hard?Best Wishes,Monk
I sort of cartwheel through it (well not exactly) - open and close hand while sort of rotating to put weight onto the next finger
I can do it clear in the sense that its clear from my hearing range, but for example if I recorded it on my digital piano (don't have an upright) and stood further away, or played it to myself using simulated reverb it does not sound very clear - listening and comparing with my CDs
Could you (or someone else) explain it in more detail? I'm very interested in the technique(s) you use.
Perhapss that clarity is not due to your skills but of the deficiencies of the piano not being able to produce that clarity.
I first swing my (right) hand (around the axis that the wrist creates) to left, just to compensate the fifth's weakness by then swinging it back at greater speed.
