Keep fingers close to the keys with minimal movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try the legato version, watching out for &#8216;double actions&#8217; that will make your piece sound amateur. Bar 2 is particularly hard in this respect. Legato (slurred) fingerings will show up any poor finger work, but that&#8217;s good as you&#8217;ll fix it and be a better player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck!
