Re: Week 2: Share your progress
Your're really getting the hang of it, Grace! And you are memorizing right away. Just be patient, over time this piece will become part of you.

Re: Week 2: Share your progress
@Alexander Weymann I picked it because of YOUR excellent recommendation!
. You (and my other amazing Tonebase buddies) are much more familiar with the important piano repertoire than I am.

Re: Week 2: Share your progress
@Judy Kuan You are well on your way to mastery! I love how you can already sense the octaves driving to the end of each phrase. I’m inspired to try this one someday.

Re: Week 2: Share you progress
@Jack vreeland Not all you! You could do in just a few weeks, I’m sure. It’s only 4 pages long.

Re: Week 2: Share you progress
@Michelle R I'm glad I'm not crazy...I really liked the piece originally, until I spent a bit of time with it. And then I got an actual nightmare, and switched pieces.

Re: Week 2: Share you progress
@Michelle R Aw, thanks! I had intended to learn the prelude right before it (the Cathedrale one), but it just sounds too scary to me. Weird, right?

@Andrea Buckland Aw, thanks! Still feels quite « shaky » (like I am thinking before every jump and hand position of the weird chords).

Re: Week 2: Share you progress
@Sindre Skarelven Merci bien, mais il faut que je me mets à le mémoriser et j’ai peur de faire ça. (Et je n’ai aucun idée pourquoi?)

@Juan Carlos Olite I love your tempo, Juan Carlos. You move the piece forward while not sacrificing building a beautiful line.

Re: Week 2: Share you progress
Missed Week 1 since I was not home, so only have a few days on this new piece. Need to do lots of slow work to improve precision, and learn the 2nd half.…

Re: Week 2: Share you progress
@Heng-Pin Chen Yeah, I’ve been away so I only really started my new piece yesterday…and I have more travel starting soon! This will be a very “condensed” learning experience, LOL.

My favorite activity is chamber music, but I love learning solo repertoire now here at Tonebase.
I'm so excited to meet other pianists from all around the globe.
