How lovely! That was a very nice piece and you played it well! It’s about 7am here, so thank you for the wonderful start to my day!

Thank you for your kind words ShiroKuro.

In the pianist zone there is a thread "Neuroscience based efficient practice schedule". I have decided to try out the schedule to hopefully learn the Mozart piano sonata in A major, K331, first movement . I have never learned the first movement before but I have heard another amateur pianist play parts of it at our piano group. I did try to learn the third movement quite a few years ago so may have glimpsed the first at that time.

The schedule requires a new piece to be played on consecutive days for three days and then not to play it on the fourth. I have decided to start at the second variation and the attached recording shows progress to the end of the third day. I start by playing a few bars as separate hand practice as warm up before playing through the whole variation at a slow pace.

I will probably record variation 2 after completing the next part of the schedule and can repost it here if it is of any interest. I find trills very difficult.

Speaking of things that are difficult, there’s a section of thirds in one of my pieces that I can’t get to sound right. I can play it super slow but not at tempo. I should upload a photo of the score for that…

Thank you for sharing! You have a beautiful and sensitive touch.

    Very nice indeed - the piano playing for the Forgotten Dreams.

    I haven't heard that one before - until now,. This is one of those sorts of music I love. Just like that. Relaxing, beautiful.

      keff Great recording. So sensitively rendered.

      That was lovely!!! I only know his Syncopated Clock (which I love and sincerely hope to be able to play someday) and I had no idea he wrote such sensitive melodies as well. And so delicately played too, a real joy to listen to.

        Nicely done. Forgotten Dreams is one of my favorite piano pieces.
