Re: Week 4: Submit your recording!
I've had to drop the Andante Favori (again!), in lieu of focusing on other rep (again!). But looking forward to watching and being inspired by everyone else's progress videos!

@Ursina Boehm I had a couple of teachers independently emphasize the utmost importance of choosing the right fingering for your hand for that passage. So if you found one, that's great!

@Ursina Boehm You sound terrific!! Great legato and voicing with the main melody, and you're handling the tricky LH passagework at the end really well!

@Julia Thank you! It's funny watching your video of another Rondo and how the two we're playing are so different yet clearly Beethov-ian
