    • Dominic Cheli Thank you! Here is the video link for Thurmond's Bach Prelude. He's hoping to have it ready (along with the fugue) for a competition in October.

    Hi Dominic, I will like to play Bach Prelude No2 from the anglish suite. I start learning it last march. I don't play it all wet! I divided it in 4 parts. I am playing the 3 fisrt part, and actully learning the part 4, after that it's a repetition of those 4 parts. I will like to have some advices from you. And I have also problems to play the mesure 4 to 7, the left hand. I can't find a way to play it easely, I don't know if you can help me  with this passage. I will make a video of my playing. It's really not perfect because I still learn it. If you can give me some advices to play it better. And for the tempo, I have misery to play it fast...do you think it's an obligation to play it really fast...I have a certain  problem with this. Tank you for your help, I really appreciated it.

      Dominic Cheli Yes I will, this evening after my working day! Thank You Dominic for your help. I wll play it slower then it suppose to be because I don't master the piece yet. I give myself the time for it! I want to get to play it better. And, after the prelude I want to learn the complete suite. I will post my video tonight at Canada time...I hope it will not be to late for you.

    Beethoven 2nd Movement Difficulties

    (1)  In D Flat Major section, it's freezing when I play the right hand rapid notes.  I tend to build up tensions when I play the whole passage with left-hand crossing and it becomes difficult to coordinate well (and to not miss notes).

    Hi Dominic! I have a question. Is this ,going, button for live participation or for sending a recording in? Live is for me a little difficult, because it’s 8pm in Germany and maybe my neighbors are not so happy if I play at this time. I will send in the 1. movement of Beethoven Moolight Sonata (soon). And my focus is on: how can I get out the dark and for me tragic mood of this piece.

    Thanks a lot. 🙋‍♀️
