Today was the second day in a row of practicing piano.... wow, the dedication that I have just exemplified! As sad as it is... the little that it has been has actually been quite rewarding. Little bits of development have occurred. I'm learning my Beethoven sonata - little by little. Tonight I taught myself the last 16 bars of the piece. I figure you should learn the end of the piece fairly early on in the development stage. People are always most attentive to the beginning and then the end of a piece, so you need to make sure those are nice and impressive. On the odd chance that a person might fall asleep during the first movement and then not wake up til the very end of the piece... I'm set already!
