I am currently playing a Presto movement of a great Haydn sonata, but I am running into a roadblock: the speed. I can get most of the piece up to (or near) the tempo, but on some parts I'm stuck. Those would be the trills and naturally fast parts, where I'm playing D-F#-A-D (notes change, but hand position stays about the same) very quickly.
No matter what I do, I can' seem to get it that quick, and it's driving me crazy. I have trouble relaxing my hand, shoulder, and fingers, and it tenses up when I play those parts. My teacher is helping, but it's not working too well. I practice a lot, but it doesn't help either. I just have no idea what to do, and the competition is in about a month.
Does anyone have any tips/exercises or something? I really need the help.
