Pedal changes at page turn, before and after.

No head-tilty thing!

Sound quality on 4ths.

Apparently, I can only pay attention for 45 minutes at a time when learning/practicing. Try going out for a walk/stretching/?-ing for 10 minutes then playing again. Yes, this will indeed suck when it starts raining again/is dark early/when it's HOT AS FUCK like this week.

Good thing Ms. Crankypants got her practicing done early today.

Octaves in 2nd to last measure of line 2 on last page are 2 distinct octaves. Is it the same for 2nd to last measure, 2nd to last line on 2nd page?

Pecs needed for loud chords in left hand, keep wrist in.

Dynamics then consistency of theme THEN memorization.

If a measure has
the first chord marked sfz, are the subsequent notes f until marked otherwise?
