When working on more advanced repertoire (I am working on Rachmaninoff's Polka de W.R. right now), do you have suggestions for the best way to get it from learned relatively well at a moderate tempo to up to the full tempo and clean enough to play for a performance in early March? It is coming along well, but advice as to how to manage tempo given the frequent large jumps in the left hand and overall fast passage work would be great. Thank you!

Hi Dominic, please would you give me some advice on how to practice a rolled chord to get it up to a decent speed. It’s the Chopin prelude A major bar 12. I’ve decided to roll the chord, I’m using LH 521 RH 1235 then LH 42 (or whatever manages to hit the top two notes most times accurately!). (BTW, I’m really enjoying the prelude, thank you so much for suggesting it!)

Hi, how do I avoid 'stumbling'? For example Chopin op 25 #2: I have this piece memorized, I have no problems with the speed, I can play this piece. Except that I always stumble somewhere, never in the same spot. What is going on and how do I fix it?
