Hi everyone! Today, I will go over some common mistakes that pianists do when practicing runs these can be from any time period like classical or romantic works, but you will even find them in the baroque, impressionistic period as well as works after 1945 and contemporary piano literature. Virtually everywhere this dominant pattern can appear, and I will specifically focus on the pattern made up by 4+4 notes which is mostly common for classical and romantic works.

Depending on your practice routine you can either fix some of these issues through this video, or just sit back and enjoy some extra advice on how to practice your runs.

The video is aimed mostly at intermediate pianists who want to improve their drilling and practice methods with runs, as most semiprofessionals and professionals already have their own routine for how to tackle these passages. In any case, I hope my advice is useful to you.
