Obvious tips would be practising the scalic figures slowly (yes, helpful, eh? ), and maybe in different rhythms (swung, double-dotted, bunches of three), strictly in tempo. So when you go back to doing it in straight quavers, it seems easy by comparison!
I always found that it was difficult to get the top note to ring out cleanly - it ended up, with my initial fingering, on finger 3, which just didn't have the strength to be reliable. So I tried out different fingerings. Ended up with quite an unorthadox fingering, which ended up (I seem to remember) with 1-2-1-2-1-2-2 (for the final note, finger 2 just rolls onto its side, sort of. Hard to explain). Probably not the most pro fingering, but it worked for me, at the level I was playing at!
That's my input, anyway. I'm sure there are far better players who would shudder at such 'solutions'...
Omg i love that song i would listen to it over and over...but i would never play it for a competition...because i knew i would prob be compared to jacqueline dupre. but it so pretty.
Using different rhythmic figures is a great tip. If you continue to struggle w/ it, break down the scale and practice each position change individually. It’s very time consuming, but it will help. good luck!
Its an E melodic minor, isn't it? the fast scale? Yeah just practise that scale until its hanging limp over your shoulder and it doesn't breath anymore. This applies to all the other fast icky passages. Rhythms, rhythms and again rhythms!!!! and until you can play it backwards, diagonally, left to right and spiralling from centre outwards, its not been practised enough!!!
