Bernhard's method (Sorry for being old)

[qpalqpal]

Can someone help me out with applying his method on the first movement of Sonatina from Clementi Op. 36 no. 2? I am having a hard time understanding his posts,  I don't know why

Perhaps you could be more specific.

[qpalqpal]

For example. This piece, there isn't a ridiculously hard section. It is quite the same throughout. So why do I have to learn it in sections by difficulty?

I think it wouldn't work because:
a. You are learning everything disorganizedly, and so when you try grouping three sections, it won't come out.

b.You spend SO much time.

So what is the catch>?

[m1469]

If you can play it perfectly straight off, then go for it.

[qpalqpal]

But that's not the case. I still need to practice it, but do I have to do that weird thing of ordering it in a certain way

[m1469]

Yes.  See what it's like.  Just try it already.

I don't think you should bother yourself so much with the method stuff with this type of music. To learn this piece it's best just to play hands separately as many times as necessary to be fluent and then put the hands together. Some parts may be a bit tricky to put together, so those you might practice separately. Just try to be patient and practice slowly first. I usually don't so I end up breaking the piece back to pieces many times because I didn't take the time when I should have

Clarity and precision is what you strive for here. For you that probably means about the same as boring
