comment How can I improve my piano sight reading?
Excellent advice, ogerard. Even better: fill in for a missing player at a rehearsal. Sight-read an instrumental part. Easy: flute, oboe, violin (treble clef), bass (bass clef). Harder: bassoon, cello (occasional tenor clef). Harder: viola (alto clef); being able to read alto clef is a good skill. Transposing instruments: clarinet, horn, trumpet.

comment Fingering for octaves on the piano
Maitre Hanon says, "In all scales in octaves, the black keys are to be taken with the 4th finger of either hand." No other reason given. I note that the 4th finger is longer, and if I want to play three notes, two B's and a low B-flat (left hand), the fifth finger goes on the B and the fourth on the B-flat.

comment Fast octaves on the piano
Two notes at the same time, an octave apart. Other famous pieces with fast octaves are Chopin's Polonaise in A-Flat (middle section) and Liszt's Funerailles.
