🟩Mozart Sonata, No. 11 in A Major, III. Rondo: Alla Turca

  1. 💜Continue to work on 41-48 hands alone then together to remove pauses

  2. 💜Learn mm. 48-56 - for Thursday the 18th, do close-loud practice and fingering focus.

  3. Refine mm. 89-96 - Think about the RH thumb as the anchor here Make the upper notes almost like an accident. Start slowly and speed-build.
