Peer Gynt Progress Plus Some Old Timeyness


Old stuff: Bach - mostly from the Little Book of beginner pieces.

And then there's part of the Peer Gynt Suite.  I'm hoping to have learned all 8 movements and memorized the majority of them.  So far, I have one movement memorized (Solveig's Lied), and I would say six of the eight are in pretty good shape.  I'm having one heck of a time with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Ase's Death".

Above: Morning Mood from Peer Gynt.

Above: Peer Gynt's Homecoming.  This was a really tough one for me and I still have a few segments that need a lot of work, but this is the first time I played the ENTIRE movement in one sitting without having to stop and run through certain passages.
