My Performance

Things I Found Difficult

I found it easier to play the first section, and so, had a tendency to play it too fast. Which got me into trouble when I got to the B section, which I couldn’t play at the same speed. In general, I don’t think this piece should be too fast; it should be lively, but shouldn’t race.
