Re: Week 4: Final Submissions!
@Michelle R Ah that makes so much sense! You've probably noticed that your clients with good self-awareness and persistence are the ones who make solid (but perhaps not linear/constant) progress.…

Re: Week 4: Final Submissions!
@Aaron Great character! I know even less about Prokofiev than Scriabin, so can only share that I enjoyed it and would love to get your scherzo mischievous character in another piece I'm working on!

Re: Week 4: Final Submissions!
@Richard Littlewood The quiet melancholy came through, and your voicing sounded great to me. I wouldn't have guessed that was Brahms!

Re: Week 4: Final Submissions!
@Marc M This sounds great, Marc! The LH reminds me of the Rach Elegie that @Juan Carlos Olite is playing - takes a lot of work to track it much less memorize it.

@Grace I think you're sounding great! A couple of my classmates played this and it just takes time to get it in your fingers. Harmonic analysis on this piece sounds like a good challenge!
