Moonlight Sonata

I've been practicing Moonlight Sonata, first and second I've learned, and now I've come to the presto agitato third movement. 10 pages long. O_O. I've done 2 pages at around adagio speed for the first time. Any tips? Also, discuss which songs you've been playing recently.
I've also been playing Canon in D and Jesu... Also Gillock's 24 pieces in different keys. Can do all.

Re: Moonlight Sonata

ive been practicing the intro to get out of my yard by paul gilbert

not really the same genre at all but its hard and requires some memorizing two large hands and a modified guitar

heck are there any songs with a modified piano

Re: Moonlight Sonata

Ah, I play the piano, too.   smile

The only tip here that I can think of is to start slow and then increase your speed each time you play that movement again. It may sound a bit strange at first, but accuracy is easier to obtain at high speeds when it is obtained at low speeds first.

Re: Moonlight Sonata

I can play, uh, Ode to Joy at top speed, In the Hall of the Mountain King (Peer Gynt, aka Peter Grimes), Drunken Sailor, Ghostbusters (sort-of). But Albertt911 can play Turkish March all the way through perfectly.  smile
