Re: WEEK ONE: Uncharted Territory! Sketch V Day 2. Here it is after about one hour of practice. There is definitely improvement. The B section, while not an absolute disaster like yesterday, still needs work.

Re: WEEK ONE: Uncharted Territory! @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. This one is really growing on me. It's really beautiful, but also an amazing exercise in left hand finger independence. To me, it's like an updated Sor Op 35 No 17.

Re: WEEK ONE: Uncharted Territory! @Khiem Nguyen Thank you, Khiem. I listened to your recording of it below, and I think you're doing great. What matters is progress, which unfortunately always comes slower than we want.
