@Andrea LeVan This is also my favorite part of this piece
It's quite tricky and you're doing a great job! I love memorizing because you can take the piece with you forever,…

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@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!

@Sindre Skarelven This section is super complex, and I echo everyone's awe at how well and quickly you learned it! You're really tempting me to revisit this one and actually do it justice this time...…

@maijahildur I think you're sounding really convincing and flowing! Agree that digital instruments have limited dimensions and look forward to hopefully hearing this on an acoustic!

Re: Week 3: Progress Check!
@Michelle R Both are sounding great! I'm curious - is it easier for you to play with eyes closed because you can see the score in your head? Or that it's easier to focus on the sound?…

Re: June Recital!
@Alexander Weymann Lol same
I started working on it almost a year ago but abandoned it after hitting a wall on the 3rd movement fugues. Hoping this will be the impetus to revisit the entire sonata.
