I can play Mozart's complete Fantasia in C Minor (Köchel No. 475) now! Watch my video and read about how I perfected my final performance!

I believe I've cracked it after all my practicing! Keyboard Sonata in D Minor by Domenico Scarlatti.

More progress on Scarlatti's sonata. I can now play the whole piece without music, so just a case of refreshing those semiquavers!

'Piú Allegro' is coming together nicely, and in context it's wonderful as I have reached the end of the Fantasia in C Minor.

More progress on Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata...

I feel like I've made enormous progress on 'I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise' by George Gershwin. See for yourselves!

This week I've been practicing more in depth the allegro passages of the first movement of 'Pathétique' - 'Allegro Molto e Con Brio'.

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

I'm revisiting Beethoven's Pathétique and in particular the first movement - how am I going to tackle the challenges in this difficult one?

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.

I am learning the first Scarlatti Sonata from a book I purchased a few weeks ago. Here's my progress so far.
