Thanks so much everyone!!! Bart, you be as nitpicky as you like - I feel that I have reached a stage where I need to work on musicality more, not just hitting the right notes at the correct time. I agree with everything you said in fact and it gives me something to work on in addition to the things already mentioned before 😃
WieWaldi Except the part between 1:03 and 1:14. Here in my opinion there was too much of pedaling. You didn't lift it after the RH jumps, no?
Funny you mention that 🙂 In fact, that is the only location in the entire piece where the pedal is used at all... well and the very last note. It's a very simple pedal:
I don't know yet how to film this, but I may be able to adjust the camera to show my feet as well as the hands, maybe turn the phone 90 degrees. When I practice again, I will pay attention if I lift the pedal early enough (not all the way at the end of the bar). Thank you for noticing that even without a video to show my foot 😃
Actually I watched "Let's Play Piano Methods" and he suggested not to pedal at all in this piece and to try to make the jump as legato as possible by reaching across. He probably has a point - it does contrast a little too much with the rest of the piece, I agree with that.
This is fun - I'm really enjoying this learning process 🤩
