    Bach Goldberg variations. 

    I can get through the notes for most variations but am a long way from playing at speed and with proper voicing.   Some of the "2 manual" variations present the most challenge.

    Many, but for the sake of answering this question: the first movement of Schubert's Sonata in G Major, D. 894. I'd like to play the first movement in 24-27 minutes (a la Richter or Afanassiev), but with such a sense of pulse and ravishing tone that the listener is riveted to the very end.

    • Daniel Amazing that you are working on such a musically complex, yet satisfying piece. I would love to hear you play it. I can tell you have the right attitude and approach already based off of who you enjoy listening to!

      Dominic Cheli , Hi Dominic, thanks for the text. I鈥檓 impressed that you can find the time to make 1:1 contact with all your other commitments. 

       

      I鈥檓 not there yet! I鈥檓 working on the Fantasie-Impromptu but slowly. I have a long way to go.

       

      I鈥檓 loving your live streams, BTW. I can鈥檛 attend these live as I鈥檓 in Australia but they鈥檙e always a treat to watch. I actively look out for them. Your series of videos on Brahms, for example, has been most enlightening and enjoyable. I didn鈥檛 appreciate Brahms before watching them. 

      Colin
