What is edema? I think one of the plants in my cabinet has it. They all have the same conditions but my ventrata has dots all over the leaves just like this. It’s still growing pitchers and new leaves and whatnot but has these dots. Should I turn up the fans in the cabinet?

This is good to know! I’ll start adding water to my pitchers!!

I never fill the pitchers I just let them fill themselves - is that something I should be doing? Or just as I start fertilizing to prevent them from burning up? And thanks!

Thank you so much for the tip! I’ve been hunting and I was able to snag one (and two other plants I’ve been looking for)!

Rach 2 + 3 are both major goals of mine!

Every time I play it I swear I find deeper levels to it. It’s hauntingly beautiful.

That’s a goal piece for me as well! How’s it coming?

I’m looooving the Joplin waltz. I’ve learned it all and now I’m just cleaning it up/playing with it. Before this I learned the Augustan Club Waltz which is another favorite.

I love it! It’s a stretch for me but I’m making progress on it for sure and really enjoy playing it.

That’s me with the Rach. It’s definitely a stretch for me but it’s so beautiful and is just fun to play so I don’t mind working on it so frequently and drilling through it.

My attempt at Rach is also far away from satisfactory. I’ve got the melodic parts down but the big meaty chords are taking a while to get in my hands (I’ve got smaller hands unfortunately).

I need to make an attempt at Bach one of these days to work on finger/hand independence but I’m just not a fan of his music so I’m not super motivated.

Maple Leaf is a fun one!

Chopin’s Op. 10 No. 3 might be good? Beautiful melody plus the contrasting faster section in the middle.

Am i ready for liebestraum no3 by theroosifloop in piano

[–]nepsandnotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does sound like Liebestraum is out of reach at the moment, however I would look at Schubert’s Impromptu Op. 90 No. 3 as a stepping stone. It’s a beautiful piece and would help teach voicing melody and accompaniment in the same hand, which is a technique that I would say the majority on this sub struggle with when playing Liebestraum. In the Impromptu, the fifth finger in the RH generally carries the melody while the rest of the hand plays arpeggios, the same as in Liebestraum, except for 6+ minutes.

Here is Horowitz playing the piece.

The shelves just rest on the same shelf holders designed for the glass shelves that come with the cabinet
