Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.

I have barely listened to the Sinfonias, so I wasn't familiar with this one, thanks for sharing!

I think my main advice would be regarding the pulse/evenness of the notes. It's a bit unsteady right now, so I would focus on ironing that out if you want to take your playing of this piece to the next level.

Start out with one of the faster passages that sound uneven in your recording. Practice that passage only for a bit so you don't get overwhelmed. Listen carefully, are the notes even? Practice in slower tempo where you feel like you can feel comfortable and see if you can play the passage very smoothly, with even note durations. Only when you can do this, bring the tempo up a little bit.

Thank you for the insight. I definitely got a lot to work/ improve on with keeping everything steady and even.
