Does anyone have any excercises for voicing in this section other than rhythms and over accenting?

I apologize, this is the passage I was mentioning, and I am just curious if there's any other way to practice voicing rather than overemphasizing or doing rhythms.– Jeremiah SharoSep 8 at 15:56

Maybe it's because I'm not a pianist, but can you elaborate what the challenge is or the goal? Is this about effectively bringing out the melody over the supporting voices?– Andy BonnerSep 8 at 16:01

I would practice the right hand at a slower tempo, playing the top-line sixteenth notes almost as if they were eighth notes and striving for something approaching a legato. This will help avoid choppiness with the alternating thirds that works against hearing a singing melodic line. That will sound better than any type of punchy accent.– DjinTonicSep 8 at 16:20

Thank you! I will try that– Jeremiah SharoSep 8 at 16:25

Yes, you've gotta have a strong pinky-finger for this. :)– paul garrettSep 8 at 22:08

I recommend practicing each pair of sixteenth notes as a block chord. When this can be done with the proper voicing, it will be easier to maintain that voicing when playing as written.
Here's a notated example of what I mean:
Another possibility that could be explored is to play the inner voice entirely with the left hand, leaving the right hand to play the melody only.
