Re: What are the Two Week Intensives?

Re: What's the last LIVE concert you attended!
@Stephen Mendoza That's cool that Dominic talked about the pieces before playing them. I wonder why more performers don't do that. I am always tempted to do this when my school hosts recitals.…

Even though I can't attend the concert this month, I am continuing to practice (of course I am!). Here is a week's worth of work on Chopin's D flat prelude, part A. The rest is coming along, too!
