Hello,
- Wrists etc.
- Grieg (Waltzer)
- Just a minor details:
- Tenuto – means „hold a bit“
- 4th row, 4th measure – quarter is still forte, then then half note is piano and soft.
- Just before the quarter staccato notes (4th measure, 2nd row) the last sixth at the left hand shoundn’t be cut, let it sound fully.
- Just a minor details:
- Heritage
- First two rows
- Don’t rush eights at the ond of the row
- Third row
- eights! 😀
- E flat at the left hand, third measure.
- Final row
- Details.
- First two rows
- Chopin
- The first line – finalizing the final details 🙂
- Trill – give the „e“ tone at the left hand more space 😉
- Fingering ath the left hand – 5 – 2 at the fifth, and then 3−2−1−2−1−2. Don’t play it all with the 1st finger 🙂 It sounds like the tones are alone, connect them with legato. Thumb stays over the „F“.
- Eights on hte final row – don’t rush them 😉 😉
- The last page – ligature – the same note connected with the arch, the second note is not played, only hold it from the first one.
- The first line – finalizing the final details 🙂
Next week 😉

Hello,
- Relaxing, unfreezing 🙂
- Heritage
- Just minor things.
- Walzer (Grieg)
- Staccato quarter notes – not so short, hold them a bit longer.
- Dynamics – you can play it more loud on forte parts and much softer at piano parts.
- Pedal – hold it only to the first two beats, the third is without pedal.
- At the part with left-hand melody, there are a few accents.
- Chopin
- Intro part
- No detached notes, all legato 🙂
- Fingering, left hand
- Parts with eights – not so rushed, fasten them a bit, but only a bit 😉
- Trills – better articulation in the left hand, dont ‚mud it‘ in a pedal.
- Intro part
Next time again at 12pm 😉

Hello,
- Wrist relaxation
- still the same, slow it down 😉
- Heritage
- Just minor details – don’t rush it, that’s the biggest issue here
- right hand – articulation,
- flats and naturals 🙂
- Let’s try Waltz, Grieg
- All about right hand articulation, soft left.
- Tenuto – just „hold a bit“ 🙂
- Chopin
- The „a major“ part is forte, happy 😉 Then it goes back to a minor and darkens again.
- The only „really new“ part is the last page.
Next Tuesday, same time 😉 😉
