Re: Week 3: The final dance of the Soirees! @Gail Starr The octaves/jumps are a challenge for me too, but you sound great. Amazing that you have a Bösendorfer. I'm jealous!

Re: Week 3: The final dance of the Soirees! @Richard George Littlewood I think section 1 (and 3) are some of the most challenging parts because of the leaps and octaves, so great job tackling this!

Re: Week 2: Keep up the Great work! @Ching Lee Goh Interesting idea on fingering as I found Dominic's 1425 switching difficult to do smoothly, but perhaps I just need more practice. 1314 seems to work well,…
