@Wai That's really good, Wai, especially for just one day. Even the two most difficult measures (in the B section) are quite smooth and well-executed, Good job!

Sor - Op 2 No 3 Andantino

This is a piece by Sor that I love, but I don't hear it played too often. It has good length, nice contrast between the sections, a strong melody, and very elegant voice leading.…

Re: Week 3: Italy in 19th !🍝
@Jack Stewart Relentless is a good word. To be honest, this is the type of piece that I enjoy listening to, but that I don't enjoy playing. I would find this stressful to play.
