1. Your pedal catches the last notes of the previous measure when you change it. Careful not to have blurry pedaling and do the “rit“ at the end.

1. Speech (you don’t need to memorize word for word).

   1. The first piece on the program was originally composed for the harpsichord. A big difference between the piano and harpsichord is that the strings on a harpsichord are plucked and the piano’s strings are struck with a felt-tipped hammer. The harpsichord can’t create dynamics like the piano can, so my teacher and I created our own dynamics according to the character of the piece.
