We are going to be using this thread to gather suggestions and questions!
- What questions do you have on this topic?
- Any particular area you would like me to focus on?

If the Barcarolle is being discussed, I'd like to ask for suggestions on the hand motion for the '6ths' starting at measure 14 and continuing in different keys. I'm having trouble being fluid with them without causing hand/wrist strain.
Also, the last 'cadenza' at the end of the piece; the hand /wrist motion to gain smooth execution.
Thank you

This was very enjoyable! Thank you, Mr. Ohlsson! Thank you to the students and to Ben and Dominic for presenting this!
As I emailed to Ben and Dominic, I loved the thoughtfulness of all involved. It was refreshing to hear Ben ask the students more probing questions about what they thought of various aspects under discussion.
Dominic, as always, was superb at displaying whatever was being discussed. That supports the learning process significantly!
Excellent - all the way around!
