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.

Hi Dr Antonella, hi everyone!
I'm in the middle of learning Mozart's Sonata in C major K309, and this is the 2nd movement. It's grown on me, even though I didn't think the 2nd movement was as much fun as the 1st movement in the beginning. I need to work on this more thoroughly. I find the ornaments challenging in this piece.

I was able to make a recording of the Slow Movement; it ends on the Dominant, with an Attacca to the finale, but I still have to work on that. I know the last few notes are a little too fast, but that shouldn't be much of a problem to fix.
