My Performance

Things I Found Difficult

I had trouble with the right hand in bars 13-20. It was difficult to get the fingering into my fingers. I used slow practice here with lots of repetition. Perhaps there is a better way.

Structure

Sections

Section Bars Comments
A1 1-4
A2 5-8
B1 13-16 This section is tougher — left hand leaps, pattern in right hand more challenging, coordinating the pedal
B2 17-20 Same challenges as B1, this is a slight variation
