@Alexander Weymann I’m amazed that you even had the energy to make the new recording! I would have just grabbed a coffee and read a book for the rest of the day! 😂

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@Alexander Weymann You have accomplished an enormous amount in a very short time. This is the kind of piece that your fingers have to live with for a while before you can do the legato without…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@Judy Kuan Your teacher had really great suggestions. Now that I’ve given it some thought, maybe it DOES make sense to throw caution to the wind in this piece, and just FLY.…

@Sindre Skarelven I can't get over how quickly you learn AND memorize! This is my favorite part of this piece. You add mystery to the cool chromatic themes and drive it forward beautifully.

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@Andrea LeVan Aw, thanks! I just really like this piece. I never knew about it until my Tonebase buddies suggested it. Now, all of a sudden, I am REALLY into Debussy, so I picked another one, too.
