Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Maria Also, is pedalling for measures 113-132 overuse of the pedal? I don't think it is possible for me to play the RH part of measures 117-132 legato without at least half-pedaling/flutter pedaling.…

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Kerstin I prefer using pencil and paper but I sometimes notate using software because I have a hard time with sheet music in general. Your musical handwriting is much better than mine!…

@Vidhya Bashyam I didn't realize "first steps" was a Star Wars reference. I don't understand any of the references.

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@cdales I can reach 9 (only on white keys; 8 on black keys) and when I played La Cathedrale Engloutie, I definitely had to arpeggiate a number of 10ths. Thankfully, it made sense musically.…

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Maria Autocorrect persistently does not know the difference between Austria and Australia. I was thankfully able to edit it to "an Australian piano curriculum," which is what I meant.

@Dustin Anderson I am familiar with AMEB because at one point I did an Australian piano curriculum. I never took AMEB exams, though.

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Doug This is not relevant to the challenge, but does "great works in major keys" include Chopin's Ballade no. 3 in A-flat Major?
