How does one count/ feel/ practice the tuplet figures in the slow section? Specifically the tuplets with a 9 above?
Thanks,
Michael

Think of it as an eighth note triplet, where each partial is its own triplet. You can practice them by taking out the notes other than the "downbeats-" in the first one, you'd play Db, C, Bb as an eighth note triplet.

The one with 9 over it is like BurgerBob says, but as a triplet instead of an 8th notes.*
That said, this is an extremely dream-like piece in the beginning. You can play these figures very rubato within the hanging chords, and then the piano comes in with you.
*Edit: he had mentioned that the 6-tuplet feature was like triplets in the space of one eighth note, 3 on the downbeat, 3 on the upbeat, which is correct. I think he saw you were talking about just the 9, and took that part out.

What he said. Rubato is your friend here. I stretch the first upper neighbor figure, then speed up through the remaining 6 notes. Doodle-y tongue helps, too.harrisonreed wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 4:10 pm That said, this is an extremely dream-like piece in the beginning.

I've heard recordings of the Andante section tuplets (9) that don't ow down, but play in time (e.g. How do you count it to play like that?
