1. 💜Handel Chaconne (START WITH DUSTIN ON THURSDAY)

2. RECORD YOURSELF AND LISTEN BACK (EACH CHUNK OR MOVEMENT) AND MAKE YOUR OWN COMMENTS.

   1. Theme:

      1. M. 1, beat 3: think of the trill in two parts: D, E, F-sharp - land on F-sharp and release the energy into a lighter, faster trill. Make the last couple of notes of the trill should be LIGHTER.

      2. LH trill, faster and no bumps at the end.

   2. Variation 1:

      1. RH is not too short. Sticky

      2. ascending chords at the end, let go of the energy after the attack.

   3. Variation 2

      1. LH octaves should have a curious feel in terms of dynamics.

      2. RH chords still need to be present.

   4. Variation 3

      1. More LH

      2. Apply the trill technique to the trill at the end.

      3. Practice speeding up slightly without us knowing you’re doing it.

   5. Variation 4

   8. V. 7:
