Re: Week 2: First Steps
What I find especially treacherous about muscle memory is that it tends to dominate in practice, only to maliciously abandon you in performance. I call it the great betrayal. Don't fall for it!

@Alexander Weymann I guess the love for the music helps! The ending of Chasse-Neige is something else! Makes me feel like I have just finished the epic journey of all 12 Etudes,…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Peter Golemme If you played all 24 preludes, I'd say your level is certainly higher than 7! And I wouldn't call your tempo in that excerpt slow at all! If you play all 24 at that standard,…

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
