1,000 Days of Piano - Day 5: Folk Dance Lessons

I practiced the Romanian Folk Dance #2 from Book 7 extremely slowly ten times and slowly ten times. It made a noticeable difference, especially in my head where I’m keeping track of the chords. Slow practice involves more than chords. With imagination, I can travel to Romania with this piece. I may have no Romanian in my DNA, but this music does. So I play with it, have fun with it, revel in the delicious chords to the steady tick-tick of 72 per minute per eighth note. It feels like a folk dancing lesson.
