Randi's Practice
Hello everyone!
I am currently learning Chopin's Prelude #15 in D flat. Such a beautiful piece. I started learning it 4 weeks ago and am pleased with my progress. My teacher has given me the assignment to memorize it over the next 4 weeks (1 page per week). We will then work on voicing, dynamics, etc. This will be my first piece in my practice diary.
I'm a little torn about what to play for our virtual concert. I played the first movement of Beethoven's Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2 (Moonlight) in my first ever recital in December. That is more performance ready than the Chopin will be. I'm open to suggestions. Or maybe I'll just see how the month goes.
I haven't participated in any TB activities yet. I'm excited (and nervous) to perform for you all. ;)

Beautiful! Cannot wait to hear you! Best of luck.

Here is an attempt at Part A of Chopin's Prelude in D flat. I am playing from memory here (you can see me thinking at times!). I'm pleased with my progress, but clearly have so much to do!

And why does it always feel better than it looks/sounds on video? Is it me or does everyone feel this way?

I just realized that I have a conflict for the January Community Challenge. :( I hope there will be more as I really want to get involved!

Even though I can't attend the concert this month, I am continuing to practice (of course I am!). Here is a week's worth of work on Chopin's D flat prelude, part A. The rest is coming along, too!
