Challenge: Race against time
It's been set: a public performance in May. Now a new goal emerges. It'll be quite a feat to accomplish. To skip all the suspense, here it is:
to learn Chopin-Godowsky etudes No.44, the transcription to etude nouvelle in F minor. This transcription is for left hand only. Theoretically, it should be easier to learn because there are only half of the notes and only one hand to worry about. One the other, one hand has to create the melody and the illusion of both hands.
There are 15 lines in my score. If I were to learn 2-3 lines a week, then I should get it done by May. That's contigent on the fact that I practice 5 hours a week, every week.
I learned the first line today (not sooo bad), and planning to learn the second one tomorrow. This left hand only etude will really test/strengthen my left hand dexterity and fingering. It should be fun, and that's the really, the only reason why I'm going after the challenge. Because, it is fun!
