Re: Week 4: Final Submissions!
@Priya Viseskul Sounds great! You bring out the humor well and your tempo/rubato decisions made sense to me. I know the feeling of going though 50 takes to get one that’s “good enough”…haha.…

Here’s where I am. Still an occasional slip, but I’m getting closer. The hardest part of the piece is the spread of the notes…left hand is all over the keyboard,…

@Gail Starr Sounding great…impressive progress on what I imagine to be a tricky piece. This prelude could go well followed by Bruyeres and then General Levine (book 2, 5 and 6), I think!
