Week 2 Thread: The Era of Haydn and Mozart! 🐴
Welcome to the Main Thread for the third week of "Mozart & Haydn - Music from the 18th Century" challenge!
- Make sure you've read the guidelines before replying (<- click)

This week, we will talk about the different ways composers were trained during the 18th century and how they could achieve such high productivity through schemas and patterns
Look at a different piece by the same composer you are studying and try to compare the music to the new piece you are practicing now.
If you are ready, post a short clip of the patterns you found in your music! One of the ways we grow is through feedback and self-reflection.
Pick a piece from the suggested repertoire according to your level or share any piece written during the 18th century that you have been working on!
If you want to describe your process, feel free to use the following template.
- Piece(s) you have been working on:
- Things you found easy:

Happy sharing 😍

Practiced through the first movement of the Galuppi sonata. Have not been able to play the last 2 pages through without some mistakes (lots of trills!) hence the pieced together video. My IMSLP score indicates some pedaling on the quarter notes…trying to figure out how much is appropriate. Also need smoother trills (with some shape maybe?) as some are quite long.

"Not bad, could be better..." as an old teacher of mine would have said but...This is SUCH FUN! Definitely a keeper in my repertoire. Thanks for everyone's support; I'm off traveling as of Saturday but will be listening with great interest to all of your performances!
