Re: 🎹 The Romantic Music Challenge
I’m heavily indebted to the music I started and half-dropped during the Chopin challenge last year, so I might take an idea from there, but the final piece to focus on is not clear yet.

lol. I realize I misread the date. 😆 I thought the concert is today, but apparently it’s just the end of January next year. Huh! I’m too stressed out.

Re: WELCOME TO OUR NEW YEAR COMMUNITY CONCERT
@Mark Cooper wow, thank you for the insight! I’m fascinated by his music, but discovered him through Messiaen as Takemitsu was his pupil.

Re: Week 2: Build Your Foundation!
Op. 27.2, third movement. My awareness training is in those spots where the second theme melody enters. It is always preceded by a louder section or a relatively stronger chord. Not easy at all.

Re: 🎼 Week 1: Pick Your Piece
My aim is to learn part 3 of Moonlight properly. I have always loved this sonata and have some acquaintance with its text, however, I would need to invest much more effort to say that I ‘can play’ it.
