Practice Journal - "Sonata" by Scarlatti: Part Two
More progress on Scarlatti's sonata. I can now play the whole piece without music, so just a case of refreshing those semiquavers!

Practice Journal: "Fantasia and Sonata in C Minor" - Mozart - Part Two
'Piú Allegro' is coming together nicely, and in context it's wonderful as I have reached the end of the Fantasia in C Minor.

This week I revisited my old friend - Gershwin. One of my favourite composers / writers - but a menace to learn!

I'm quite well into learning this piece already, but I need to just slow down with my progress as I reach 'Piú Allegro' in Fantasia.
