Question
Is there any tricks to play this piece of music.? I am an Intermadiate level and I am having trouble to pick up speed. It is all pretty well sixteenth notes but when you listened to the piece, it sounds so much faster. Do you have any advice for me.
Many thanks......
Liz

Answer
Hi Liz,

I'm not sure what the grade level for this piece would be, but it would seem to me that an advanced student could tackle it in the 4th year of concentrated study. I didn't play this piece in recital, but it took me a few months to bring it to a solid level when I initially learned it. It is certainly not an easy piece to play!

Thank you for the very kind feedback, and please let me know if I can serve you again.

Best,

Chris
