    @AndyD that’s just lovely! I really like hearing how your playing of this has evolved!

    Thank you. DIY done, a shower and snooze and then...
    after another 3 attempts, forced myself to not use the dots, and, with minor fumbles, on the 6th attempt got it.
    Very happy.
    I reckon I've read it through 120 times in order to be able to play it fully from memory.

      @AndyD Yes, that's the one. But I don't like that recording of it.

      The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

        A week of practice since the previous recording and here's one this morning

        I reckon another week for memory and then another for the music.

        Off to pressure wash and cement gaps in our front wall. I bet Rubinstein and Wang never let their fingers do such diy πŸ˜„

        @AndyD I like your playing of this piece. Especially enjoyed the balance between the hands.

          Well she was only 21 years old at the time.
          It's well beyond my abilities.

            First play of the day, ten minutes when the house was quiet (tried a new recording position and turned off the dehumidifiers).
            Nearly happy with it, a couple of places where I am still thinking and my pedalling falters, and also for left-right balance.

              @AndyD that was lovely! I really like your performance of this!

              (Left-right balance is a never-ending challenge)

                Thank you. Shall continue to play it daily to improve.

                Our piano is well overdue for a tuning, and I was thinking of asking the tech to tone it down. Not much I can do to give it the touch of a grand.

                Anyhow moving on, to CdeLune and maybe jazzy Don't Know Why.

                  Yay!

                  I need to "finish" two pieces before I start CdL and Don't Know Why in earnest. But I have been having a blast listening around online to different versions, esp of CdL

                      @chas Thank you

                      I'm also now finishing off a Mendelsohn Op67#2 which I'd almost learnt during covid.
