Forgotten Dreams by Leroy Anderson

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.
shawarma_bees Thank you.
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.

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.
