My brother in laws wife is turkish..  first time we met her family it was quite late at night and we visited their home for some reason i cant remember..  they insisted we try the turkish coffee at past midnight...  didnt really sleep that night.

Neat! Yeah its fantastic!

Time to make that coffee then

Too many cups tend to raise my heartbeat (which is already above normal) to a grazy level... I wonder what the Turkish thing would do...

[chopin2015]

You just need 1 porcelain cup. Its a different feeling than regular coffee. If you make strong pot of coffee and have a regular cup, you can get dizzy! Just make sure to get one of those copper or brass pots called cezve....to make turkish coffee

If you make strong pot of coffee and have a regular cup,

Haha, I just chew the beans.

It seemed this morning that two large mugs of regular coffee are sufficient to be able to have some proper practice with the invention (in addition to working on another piece first), but I will need to repeat the experiment a few times before claiming the result scientifically valid...

Lol

I am beginning to think I will conquer this piece eventually...not that I have made much progress forward but I feel quite confident in the parts that I have learned.

Obviously it's all about fingering...I have revised and experimented more than with any other piece before... still have certain parts where I am not sure I'm quite there yet.

I also think it helped to kind of mentally let it go for a while and concentrate more on the other pieces which seem so much easier. Not stressing about the invention seems to have helped with my memory issues a bit. Obviously this is better done without any time pressure. Hopefully I'll be finished before the summer break
