Darn Second Bar
Gymnopédie No.1 may be too much for my uncoordinated left hand. I'm still nowhere with it. I stumble on the second bar when my left hand goes from D to A + Db + F#.
If I don't know what I'm talking about, please tell me.
Maybe my fingers are too fat (they feel squeezed between the black keys). Or maybe I just need to practice another thousand times? I wonder if my time is better spent with Bach's Prelude No. 1.
Some related topics of interest I hope to investigate further (when time permits):
- Composer, artist and philosopher John Cage
- French Composer Maurice Ravel and his Piano Concerto for the left hand
- Musescore, where I found the sheet music for Gymnopédie No.1
