@Ursina Boehm It's a gorgeous piece to always evolve as you evolve as a pianist. We're never "finished" (which is a good thing!).

@Michelle R So smart! And I love your trying out different tutorials to see what various teachers say. I've been doing that with my Etude for this challenge. In fact, I need to make a video NOW!

@Michelle R I totally know what you are talking about regarding finger pain! Keep away from stuff that hurts, and spend time just looking at the score and "thinking" through what you'd like to do.ā¦

Re: Week 1: Getting down to Business
@Sindre Skarelven I learned SO much from Jarred today. Now, I just need to spend time to actually learn the notes. I would love to learn the entire Opus, also, like you!
