Hi!

I am studying Scarlatti's Sonata in G minor K 450 or L 338, I have a little problem with the thirds that alternate with the trill... if played slowly it goes quite well, if I try to speed them up it becomes a mess...

how can I speed them up, besides continuing to study them slowly?

Thank you

I don't have the sonatas at hand. Can you post them and perhaps let me hear and see how you are resolving the passage?

If I wanted to, I could record it, but at the moment I am on a Yamaha P 95 because my piano's frame is undergoing maintenance

You have the same digital piano as me. Post it anyway, at least so you can make people understand the problem...

Yes, in the end I opted for that one... at least I won't spend โ‚ฌ1300 to silence the upright ๐Ÿ˜‰
