For example there are about eight measures
of grueling difficulty in this Study
so
committing to memory, give them 40 minutes a day,
at least 5 minutes per measure -- that's a stretch for concentration
but my teacher signals that this is the way, else it can't be done
If for many weeks I were thus devoted to groping the keyboard,
blind to the written music but
still able to feel the intervals,
am I guaranteed to be brilliant?
Bending all efforts towards the sound of beauty, of perfection and
then, hear that true and precisely aimed labor bringing dreamlike Chopinesque returns
And, apres un succes fou with this Etude -
can I turn it into a paradigm case for my other thing
that needs more care to sacrifice. so many hours per day
of the same execution with such pure attention
to gain me entrance to another mystery?
