How to play octave legato, how to play octaves well

Hello, I am a student of the **Department of China Normal University, I learned piano notes before the department, the following are some personal **, I hope there is something useful to you.

Don't know what the size of your hand is. I will analyze the following situations, you can take a look

Adjacent Steps Legato: This is the legato between two adjacent notes. In general, if it is going up, when playing the previous octave, use 1 for the lower octave to use 4 for the higher octave, 1 for the lower octave, and 5 for the higher octave.

Make sure that at least one note is legato, and the overall sound is more similar. It's unlikely to be a full legato unless your hand is really big enough.

Soundproof octave legato: This is often seen in large piano works (I personally like it very much, it is thick, and I think it is very nice to play). For example, there is an upward part at the end of the opening paragraph of "The Girl's Prayer", which accounts for a lot of the whole work.

Another example is the "Turkish March" (in fact, the "Turkish March" is only a fragment of a certain sonata by Mozart, which was played separately because it is more classic) There are also many of them, which occupy a lot of status. When playing this, there is one of the most important things: wrist relaxation.

Keep in mind that you can't play fast with your wrist tight. You can only be effective if your wrist is relaxed enough.

Pedals can be added.

It might be better to practice more, I don't know this very well, I was learning on my own because I liked to listen to Zhou Guangren's disc and listened to "The Girl's Prayer" very much, and when I came back to my senses, I had learned this method unconsciously.

But wrist relaxation is key!

Above、I hope there is something you think is worth referencing、Thank you、

What kind of instrument are you talking about?

There are five basic ways to play the octave, depending on the situation.

When it comes to playing light jumps, you must pay attention:

First, the part before the wrist is the hand frame, which must have a certain hardness and elasticity

2. Except for the scaffolding part, all muscles and joints must be relaxed, but not collapsed;

3. If the elasticity and flexibility are in the right proportion, then the elbow basically remains in position, and the hands and arms should be linked vertically like this

1) When touching the key with the key, the back of the hand is horizontal, and the wrist is slightly higher than the elbow, at an obtuse angle of about 170 degrees;

2) When the hand is off the key, the biceps brachii contractes, the wrist is naturally lifted upward, and the hand frame naturally hangs down;

3) When the hand reaches the highest point, the triceps muscle contractes, the wrist naturally goes down, and the hand frame continues to go up due to inertia, because the wrist is at an inverse 170 degree angle due to the vertical hall, and the hand frame must be slightly relaxed to a certain extent (very important);

4) Before Hail Sakura touches the key, the hand frame recovers its hardness, the elbow to the back of the hand is straight, the wrist and elbow are relaxed, and the tightness is adjusted when the gravity of the earth goes down to obtain better elasticity;

5) When the button is touched halfway, the wrist exerts force, the hand frame is downward to the source of the fiber bush, the wrist controls the strength, and the fingers control the timbre.

6) Return to the full touch form.

Hope it helps you :)

You have to push your fingers hard and your arms and wrists forward. Then practice more and get used to it.

The actual point is still hard work
