How to play Moonlight Sonata (3rd movement)?
Well, I don't understand how it's even humanly possible to play the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata. This sounds like a stupid question, and I know people will tell me: practice, practice, practice. But I still don't understand how it's possible for the fingers to just fly across the piano.
I've tried it myself, but I can only do it about 10 times slower. I'm not bad at all. I've been playing the piano for 11 years and now practice an hour or more a day.
I know I still have a long way to go (although I don't want to become a professional pianist), but I just don't understand how the hands can move so fast.

Hello Samuel,
You’re right. If you look at someone, it looks impressive.
In fact, piano games are a very complex thing. As you know from your own experience, you make your progress step by step, one by one. And the path to virtuosoism is a long one.
Without talent, you will never be able to play a piece like the 3rd set from the moonlight Sonata adequately. Also talent is more complex than many think: It includes a good understanding, healthy hands and motor skills, discipline and diligence – not just ‘musicality’, whatever one understands.
So there’s a lot to come together. A suitable, supportive environment and a good (!) piano teacher are also suitable for talent. Over the years, you can develop a technique and a musical competence that allows you to play such literature on the piano – and to inspire yourself and others.

The joke is often to understand the piece. I often experience it like a switch: just yet I stumble a bit more or less together, play the sounds, but it’s not the music it should be. But at once it makes click, there is something that triggers a feeling, an inner understanding. And suddenly the music is there, the fingers run effortlessly and as by themselves.
I have to admit, however, that there are pieces that have not yet succeeded me.
(I don’t play a piano, but assume that this has nothing to do with the instrument.)
That makes sense. I also play double bass, and it was with me so with the vibrato – this is a technique and no piece but it happened as described above. However, I understand that with the moonlight Sonatas are still not because the notes are not that difficult, but the extremely fast pace.
So, there are much heavier pieces than the third set of the Moon Sonata. for example some of Ravel, Chopin, Liszt, but also pieces of less well-known composers such as Balakirev etc.
Learning the secret of such pieces is the right (!) technique to learn with the help of a good teacher. The worst is usually a false technique that has been used to self-learning – with an app – or a bad teacher.
It is also important to continue from the easier to heavier learning progress and not want to play too heavy pieces too soon. And above all, right practice! Wrong practice leads to dead ends, from which one has to move back only laboriously and timely. It can be concluded that the most important thing in learning a musical instrument is a good teacher.
Oh, he’s fine, and he’s fun.
Exactly. Oh, yes, and a professional teacher who works with a pedagogical concept. Without such a thing, I would still sit on this pretty piece today. 😊
lg and a lot of joy
