Re: Week 2 Assignment

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 :)

@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,…

Re: Week 1 Assignment!
@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…

@Michelle R Hi Michelle, Pleyel seems to work just fine for the sake of this challenge—I couldn’t seem to find Duvernoy, but if it’s relatively easy, that should work too!…
