Wonderful work today! Go through the chords on the second page and get them as smooth as the first.
Watch the rhythm of the As on the first page, dotted quaver and semiquaver need to be more "TAA ti" feeling, rather than two quavers "ti ti" - drag it and feel that pulling motion on your right hand.

Go through the left hand of page 3, get it as smooth as 1 & 2. Start to add your right hand (pages 1,2,3).

Fantastic work today, this is coming together so nicely! Well done :lovelove:
Go through the last two pages with both hands (top of the last page you can skip your left, we didn't go through that together today). Get it nice and comfortable!! Almost learnt the entire thing, amazing!

Sounding beautiful!
  • Practice "breathing" with the pedal
  • Right hand/melody more intention (slightly louder + more energy)
  • Think about your story, what is driving that melody?
  • Dynamics are great - make the crescendos even bigger
