A rainy Saturday
- to create mood, softer overall, especially LH
- don’t forget to lift off pedal
Minuet
- sectional practice to improve flow
- can be stronger (louder) overall
19 Mar
A rainy Saturday
- can add pedal
- pedal lifts must come on the first note of each bar
- keep LH very soft, RH one level higher
- good attempt at dynamics/phrasing
Minuet
- still a few notes in LH connected that should be separated

- bigger difference between mf and f
- would be good to check fingering
Summer toccatina
- can increase speed (metronome 75)
12 Mar
Minuet
- make sure LH is not connected
- all slurs have lift-off ending
- articulation is main challenge
- practice mostly hands together
A rainy saturday
- can go slightly slower when combining
- think before you play, AVOID REPEATS
Scales
- similarly, don’t repeat when practicing, think and look at fingering before playing
Summer toccatina
- softs softer
- keep a constant faster speed
- metronome 105 per quaver
