Re: Tricks for practicing difficult passages

Something I've been experimenting with (specifically with the tuplets in Daphnis) is to practice both very slowly and also fast. I've started to notice that when I play very slowly, I move me fingers in ways that aren't actually applicable to how I want the passage to sound at full tempo. There's more time to hear potential inaccuracies but slow practice requires slow technique. If something is gestural, then it needs to have a shape that lends itself to that. So I play very slowly to ensure accuracy and efficiency of movement (and lightness of touch!) but then I try much faster to work on the gestural aspect of the passage.
