while playing some of beethovens piano sonatas, i came across some chords which strecthed about 10 notes, i cant reach it both notes and it is not a spread chord, so how should i play it. i cant even reach with my thumb and baby finger.

I`ve had this problem too! It`s so annoying! Well you can`t make your fingers stretch, so probably the best thing to do is choose a different note that would sound good in the chord, don`t play it at all, or when you can play it as a broken chord.

What pc are u playing? Caz not all notes are replaceable. Ummm...u have to tell us the op., nr, movement and the bar.

If you can`t reach stretch and stretch until you can, slowly making it or choose ti ignore one of the notes, not replacing it.

play the bottom note first and quickly play the high note. You have to jump quickly or else its too staggered. If that doesn`t sound good play only the top note.

So which one are u playing?

Roll the chord, but if it sounds funny rolled then only play the important note(s).

i found that its in the second sonata, in the second movement.
mostly all the way through it.

I will not advise you to split the chords if yr playing his 2nd sonata. Caz they exist as strong, assertive chords and as melody notes also. And the fact that they`re so frequent. I really think that you should consider changing yr repertoire, if you are planning to play this for exam. Changing the intended sound effects that these sequential chords ought to have is not advisable. Unless yr talking about occasisonal, unimportant chords that can be quickkly split and giving importance to sounding melody notes. But of caz, if yr planning to play this for fun, then just try as best as u can. Thank you.
