Update

Today is the first day of November. I am starting on Bach Sinfonia #7. I am doing the rest of the variations on the Mozart that I started last month (I broke it up since it was 12 pages). I am playing Debussy Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum. The Rachmaninoff is Etude Tableaux opus 33 no. 8. This one seems easier than the other Rachmaninoff pieces.

I think what I learned last month is that you have to be in the mood of the piece to be able to play it well. The Rachmaninoff from last month was really upbeat and fast. It was hard to get in that mood. I played it slower than the recommended Allegro con fuoco.
