Re: Group 2 @Michael Totally fine! I love that piece. It repeats itself and has lots of figurations, so – just harmonically speaking – you could probably make your way through the whole movement,…

Re: Group 1 @Maggie this is excellent. Very thorough. I would say you're ready for the E minor sonata. Could be a good challenge! But let's focus on this Menuet/Trio movement first.…

Re: Group 2 @Kerstin In the Moonlight, that E minor chord is the beginning of a transformation in the music's tonality. It's not necessarily the destination. Play from measure 9 and I think you'll notice that…

Re: Group 2 @Kerstin Re: Chopin, good - I was hoping you would say that part. We'll look at that passage up until it returns to the opening material. But, Beethoven first.
