Re: Help Mastering a Passage

Giuffredi seems to be playing the passage at quarter=84 when I listen to it on UTube. Also note that he begins the 32nds with the first 2 notes about in the tempo of the previous 16ths and then accelerates. The whole passage ends up taking the same amount of time as if it had been performed as written This is a very musical thing to do and is commonly done. It you suddenly double the speed of the notes when you start the 32nds,it sounds quite mechanical. Additionally, it's a lot more difficult to perform that way. Perhaps the finest example of a passage lending itself to Giuffredi's appoach is the ascending 9-note arpeggio preceding the Più lento section of the Adagio movement of the Brahms quintet. How many times have you heard this terribly rushed or otherwise botched. It's actually not that difficult. The whole measure should be a flowing accelerando and Brahms attempts to show that. But please don't try to play sets of 4, 5 and 9 notes with each note in a set having the same time value. Your brain will find it much easier to gradually increase the speed of notes within the sets so that the next set begins in the tempo of the notes at the end of the previous set.
