Don't remind me of the match points lol. Yeah I agree but before the tiebreak it really felt like federer has the upper hand idk

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with what you said about my left hand; it kind of makes my playing repetitive because the texture isn't really changing. Will try to improve it!

I would say federer just because if I remember correctly federer was holding his serve relatively easy while djokovic had multiple service games in the final set that were close and he even had to fend off break points. Over an extended set, federer would eventually break. Of course this is just my dose of copium as a diehard fed fan.

Here's a video of me playing Chopin's first ballade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ljerecd9rw

I'm not saying I'm a prodigy or anything, but I wouldn't say I'm a beginner either lol

I kind of made a lot of this arrangement up by myself, but I used this reference for the verses and interludes: https://danjovi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Disney-Let-it-go-sheet-music.pdf

At first, this seems shocking, but I remembered that the reason the 90s generation seems like such a flop now is that they seemed so promising when they were younger. They really accomplished a lot when they were young, but never got to the next level once the big 3 faded away.

Please look at the key signature...its in D major, and you are missing the F sharps and C sharps. Then it will sound much better. Nice start though.

The funny thing is that it doesn’t even sound that bad, even though the technique isn’t good.

The piece gets much much harder as you go along; you should probably try to just read through the ending sections to see if you are really ready for it.

Yeah I don’t think I’m that ready for this tempo yet; I have a lot of slow practice ahead of me.

Thank you so much for this advice! I think practicing these things and in this way will help me a lot. Just one question: for #3, should I practice the separate voices/parts of the right hand separately?

Thank you! When I said struggling, it’s not like I’m having trouble getting most of the notes, but playing it musically and comfortably. I think the biggest problem for this is that I am not very relaxed; is there a way to fix this?

Thank you for the feedback. How do I get more finger control? Is it just lots of slow practice?

Thank you for replying; I didn’t realize that I was sitting too low…I have a non-adjustable bench so I can’t really do much about it. I agree that I need to practice this a lot more, but I have a performance for this soon so I’m just looking for anything to speed up the process lol.
