Re: Week 1: Status check! (also pick your piece!)
@Kerstin I can only focus 15-20 minutes at a time, and have to take breaks. In total probably around 2hours a day for all piano practice. But I'm still a beginner so a lot to learn.

@Amy Your piano has beautiful tones. What kind is it? I find Schumann music very hard/tricky to play, only played a few in the album for the young. Looking forward to see your final video!

@Priya Viseskul I like Tatiana's interpretation for the Bach little preludes! Especially BWV999 which she plays slowly a very different approach vs most other pianists.

@Gillian This is such a beautiful piece. Thanks for introducing this one. I assume Rachmaninov didn't compose anything for beginner :).
