Week 4: Final Submissions!
WELCOME TO THE LATEST COMMUNITY CHALLENGE!
For this challenge "A Fresh Start" the goal is to pick a BRAND-NEW piece to work on this month.
This is the time to finally open that score that you have been thinking about and get to work!
WHAT ARE WE DOING IN WEEK 4?
1. Let's share our final progress this week - post a video of a selection, part, or entire piece to showcase your progress this month!

Here's where I currently am with the Sonata in B minor K. 87 / L. 33 by Domenico Scarlatti. Given that I have had other pieces to work on this month, I think it's a decent start that encourages me to one day finish the piece and get it performance-ready. It still very "notey" and static and needs a lot more flow and phrasing, but with enough practice, it can get there, I think.

Here is week 4 progress on this Brahms Intermezzo in A Major - I had a super busy week so I feel like a took a bit of a step backwards in some regards, and still really struggle with memorizing this one. I’m also still not feeling comfortable with many sections and passages so hopefully this next week I can really start getting my speed and comfort level up and start polishing and working more on my dynamics and musicality. Since this is the last week on this challenge I plan to keep this going by creating a practice journal out here and even add some others I’ve been working on to track progress.
