• Info: Where do I begin? Well, first of all I am really happy that I got this on take #1. Yes, that means there are plenty of warts, lots of missed notes, wrong notes, bad accents, sloppy hands but ... ... this is a very good reflection of where I am with this piece. And let me just say I love it! Yes, the arpeggios could be a tad quieter in spots, the hands could coordinate a fraction better in the middle section and it could be a teeny bit faster, but I'm really happy with it. And a word on tempo. My teacher was adamant that I not play it too fast. I have taken it faster, it gets sloppier but that's not the only reason. But if you like the faster tempo, you might miss it. Too bad! ;) Lunch was a veggie burger with a burnt roll. But dinner was District Taco and if you ever visit DC or Northern VA, look it up - best tacos around!
