How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion
It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

One week? Not a lot of time...

How about No.6 in D minor or No.21 in Bb major from Book I.

try no5 in D major from book I. F major from book one is only two pages long, and the g minor has a fairly easy prelude.

How many instruments or instrument combinations has the WTC been arranged for?  Mozart made some string trio arrangements, the Swingle Singers sang them, people play some in guitar ensembles, anything else interesting?
