Re: Weber Concerto #2 Op.74 No.2

I recall a lesson with John Bruce Yeh in which I was completely frustrated with whatever the task was at hand on the grounds of technical complexity (I think it must have been Rose 40 nr. 1). I said, "If I can't even do this, how could I possibly play something like the Nielsen Concerto?"

John said, "Oh, the Nielsen is EASY, it's all fake fingers."

Disclaimer: We never worked on the Nielsen together so I don't know to which fingers he was speaking. I gave up after Rose nr. 3. John Yeh may no longer use fake fingers. After all that was twenty-four years ago.

................respectfully,
