车尔尼 13:
Melody note clear,emphasize first forth beat of a measure, 节奏感。指尖抓key.

Neapolitan Song
节奏不要弹反。fingering, 换指3-2。accent change to thumb. 4-3-2-3 fingering notes clear.

小鸟:long pedal. LH 再敏捷些。半减7和弦,half diminished 7th, m3+m3+M3.更拟人化,生动贴切。技术难点32th, 更敏捷。 Pay attention to accent 加强节奏感。

为什么学钢琴

钢琴大师霍夫曼说:"当钢琴家忘却尘世单独地面对他的乐器时,他能够与内心最深处的和最高尚的自我交谈,这种精神上的财富是不能用金钱购买,也不能用暴力抢夺的。"

哈农:
B-flat major, chord
d harmonic minor: left hand not clear. LH 2,3 need to 抓住key.
d melodic minor. This week continue practice.
47: second half LH wrong, LH & RH are 10th intervals, not 8th.

Sight reading: test. Pay attention to tempo. Review one more time. Try to memorize, improve tempo.

Theory: to page 16.

车尔尼 13: don't forget accent at first beat. Start line 5, LH need to keep staccato. Second page 4th line sudden accent emphasize. Ending 4 measures keep ff. rhythm two accents each measure not three. Ending LH fingering 1-2-4.

sonata: pathetic 2nd mv.
