Notes 9 Dec
- bar 1, good that that’s light, but still need to hit strong points of phrases
- LH chords, show restraint. In f sections, have big phrasing
- bar 143, check C# octave

Notes 2 Dec
Radio: 105.9 ABC classical, 102.7 triple R
Beethoven
- DO NOT ANTICIPATE FORTES
- explore comedy through contrast
Notes 25 Nov
Beethoven
- In f sections, still balance heavily towards RH melody. (bar 1)
- coordination bar 16? also would be awesome if you grouped into 6s

- bar 26, G natural LH

- 32, ties in LH

- bar 87, LH G

- start from either bar 50 or last page this week
Notes 16 Nov
Dreaming
- prio on melody in opening, phrasing as well when available
- allegretto section, go a bit
Notes 9 Nov
Beethoven
- first two lines, articulation. Taper off slurs

- don’t speed up, break up into 6s bar 12

- 2nd page in general, refine dynamics. divert Beethoven aggression into sf
- bar 60, put sf in correct spot

- don’t predict dynamics, don’t do cresc before f if it doesn’t say
- bar 81 is straight up missing

- do cresc in a straight line

- this is straight up missing

- check fingering

Notes 2 Nov
Recovery:
- Skip
- Big rubato
Fantasie
- bar 1, make sure C# is loud, match speed in transition

- only ping top note here

- prioritise melody voicing bar 13

- bar 23, take time to do rubato
- bar 25, the softer the better, makes ff later better

- get louder later, give the illusion that ‘there’s always more’

- middle section, why and how do you do things?
- 1st: normal, plain, statement. Listen to LH, keep LH stable. Make sure it is still phrased and voiced well
- 2nd: more rubato softer. don’t need to voice. calm
- 3rd: louder, even more rubato, blissful
- 4th: softer, speed up. playful
- softer, be careful of pedal is used in last page
