Dvorak
octave-triplets
I am learning (and performing) the
Dvorak concerto for the first time. In the end of the first
movement, there are these really interesting octaves that have
sixteenth note triplets underneath them. I have heard a few
recordings where they are not played. I have teensy hands, and find
them rather difficult, especially the last couple. Any
ideas?

Re:

I have large hands and have even
done the triplets in fingered octaves back when I was young &
stupid. But the version I've settled on is that in the Czech
critical edition of the piece; triplets in the upper octave only, no
double-stops. Should be easy for someone with a small hand (it's
hard for me).

i just do the octaves alone. It
seems to work fine for me, and im totally just trying to remember
but i think jaqueline du pre does it too.

Another instance wherein playing
what the composer wrote is a good idea, and for more than one
reason.

I have been listening to a bunch of
recordings. Some people seem to really go overboard with
interpretation. The worst is Ma with London. He changes rhythms
constantly! Yet some parts are extremely awkward, and there are
several editions as Bob mentioned. Where does the fine line
end?
