    Still needs work... I lost the rubato and loneliness on the way, but gained security! I didn't have so much time the last 2 weeks because I was doing jazz in a music retreat instead of classical.

     

    That's also the reason why I haven't interacted so much yet: no tome.to listen to all of your wonderful performances, I will do that after my holiday!

       Thank you very much, Sindre. I think I want to continue working on it. It's such a lovely piece so many ways it could be played, I feel I haven't found the perfect one for me, yet. But I like this one :D

      I just don't understand why I keep making so many mistakes. It took so many attempts to record this. But it is so easy to play. WHY??? sigh...

       I very muched loved this recording(!), but of course there's a lot to discover in this wonderful piece, so keep exploring it :) 
      Making a recording can be very difficult, it feels very close to a live performance, so the nerves will come! I completely know this feeling! You did very well thought! Keep exploring different ways of practicing it, and it will be easier next time, i'm sure :)

    Hi everyone,  Here is my recording of the. Moments Musiceaux OP 94 #4.  I omitted the repeat in the interest of time.   Like others, there is so much more I could do with this, but I’ve accomplished a lot with his in basically 3 weeks.  Thank you so much for this challenge.  And the challenge to get a reasonably good recording…….haha.

      Gail Ravin Starr this has been a fun project. It’s exposed to so much Schubert music!  So much music, so little time 🤪

    Here's this charming little Landler, A section only, full of fun, joy, and a dash of elegance.

    B section is a work in progress which I couldn't spend as much time on since it taxed my recovering finger quite a bit more than the A section.
