Tips
Notes:
-
In measure 35 I have added an ossia (an alternative passage) which I usually play instead of the original passage.
-
This is a difficult to master work due to its length and atmosphere of solitude.
-
Study in sections : e.g. measures 1 to 22, 23 to 41, 42 to 59, 60 to the end.
-
Try to learn the difficult parts and position changes first.
-
After you feel that you have learn the score, apply your dynamics (tempo, ritartandos, crescendos and diminuetos)
-
Everyone learns in a different way, so follow the route that works better for you.
