80: 注意以下几点:
1. 装饰音之一 Grace note 是分别两个音, 不要太快,听起来像是同时按下两个音. 练习时分别按键,由慢到快. (Acciaccatura: short appoggiatura. See Ornament in music
2. 第一个段落重复时, 要加入一些变化, 例如第一次弹 mf, 第二次弹 p. 音乐富于变化.
3. 顿音短促有力,很好, 注意之后变piano时,对比要再强一些
4. 最后一段表现力不够,每句的music shape要做出来.

Thompson: William Tell


What Jonathan need to pay attention to when playing a piece:
1. Position. 两脚平放,坐端正.
2. 第一个小节起始手腕落下的动作. 最后一小节结束提腕的动作.
3. 乐句中的呼吸提腕
4. 一句话中的语气,不要有accent. 根据音乐的内容,渐强渐弱.
5. dynamics, 手腕的rotation以达到好听的声音.
6. 唱谱和节拍. 节奏目前是Jonathan最需加强的一项,先慢后快,不可以着急. 新曲子开始分手练
