This video is a real-time piano practice demonstration. In this lesson, I demonstrate how I practice fast passages on the piano, focusing on bars 66-78 of Mozart's Sonata K. 311. This technique involves varying the rhythm in order to achieve even, reliable, fast playing when it's needed in fast passagework.

I show you step by step how to apply this method to improve speed and accuracy in challenging passages. Note: this method is best used after you have done preliminary work on a passage; it's to help take a passage you are already familiar with to the next level.

Applied correctly, this practice method can make your fast passagework feel "bulletproof" and therefore build confidence, helping you avoid feeling intimidated by tricky sections during performance.

Throughout the lesson, I also share tips to achieve an even tone, play hands together, and maintain musicality while practicing. This method can be applied to other passages and technical exercises like scales, providing a robust foundation for your piano playing.
