Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Marc M Sure, you could use Jonas, but also playing more and more repertoire and creating your own exercises is very helpful. You can use the way you played it as a practice tool; however,…

@Marc M Such a great job! You took this challenge exactly where I was hoping it would go, and I love your interpretation! As for feedback—perhaps the dissonances could be a bit more intentional and…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Karen Wood Hi Karen, so yes and no, haha. In a way, recording yourself will help you perceive time more objectively; however, it won’t necessarily capture the full acoustic spectrum that influences…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Sachi Beautiful playing, Sachi. Explore more legato in the right hand. Also, decide where you need more finger activity and where you can completely relax—the natural weight of the finger will be…

Re: Week 2 Assignment
@Janet Horsford Glad you like it! I think it applies to so many aspects of what we do—and even if some of the ideas may seem like truisms, it’s still worth reiterating :)

Re: Week 1 Assignment!
@Marc M It is a very good playing and playing with toys as well, haha! Loved watching the video. I wouldn't mind andante being a little more forward moving but really like the improvisatory character…

Re: Week 1 Assignment!
@Karen Wood Great selection, Karen. It’s funny how all these things were happening in Europe—revolution, Germany—and yet Beethoven’s second theme seems so cheerful.…

Re: Week 1 Assignment!
@Michelle R This is so interesting! Moreover, he founded a piano firm, and his instruments were favored by Chopin! It is always interesting to imagine how the pieces would sound on the instrument…

Re: Week 1 Assignment!
@Christo Good takeaways! Keep exploring and learning the notes — I like this selection. Play with the articulations and the dance-like character, and notice how they influence each other.

Re: Week 1 Assignment!
Hi, @Randi ! So happy you’re doing it! Clementi seems like a great choice. You’re right—the theme comes back, and there’s something like a little coda at the end :) No need to overthink it,…

@Pat Van Buskirk Another beautiful selection! And I’m happy to see you’re using Ekier’s critical edition. You mentioned Chopin’s failed engagement to Wodzińska—there was also the failed 1831…
