Feb 1 (Var 3)

Well, I'm getting tired of this one, how about you?

No, that doesn't mean we're moving on. That's OK, it's a lovely variation! Or, it's growing on me anyway and now I hear it when I close my eyes! There are worse things to hear as you fall asleep, anyway.

I got rid of the rattling; poor Maurice is such a selfless soul, cushioning the lamp to keep it from rattling:


Also! I've been playing this measure wrong. 


See how the D is suppose to be held through, so that the B should be played alone? I've been playing them both together, like this whole time, and today I worked on fixing it. Succeeded in the recording! Yay! In fact, the recording might be the best one of this variation I've made so far. There's two restarts in the second half, but *between* the restarts...


Also, enjoy the metronome! It's 96 bpm (I was practicing at 100 and set it back one notch for the recording. Is that cheating? Do you feel cheated?) Without it, the restarts would not have been necessary. But I think it might be the key to getting faster, so I'm going to be using it a lot in the near future.
