Re: WEEK 2: Bach in March Practice Updates
@Thurmond R nicely done, Thurmond. I'm impressed you have it memorized after 1 month. There are some phrases that remind me of Invention 1, but this is clearly more complicated.…

Re: WEEK 2: Bach in March Practice Updates

Re: Randi's Practice
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!

Here is an attempt at Part A of Chopin's Prelude in D flat. I am playing from memory here (you can see me thinking at times!). I'm pleased with my progress, but clearly have so much to do!
