Been practicing first movement of Rach2. it's getting easier...now i'm working on individual sections of the first movement. I'm almost done with the brahms' capriccio and am memorizing individual sections of that piece. I've also started learning Transcendental Etude No. 4: Mazeppa. by Liszt. It's very challenging so far....i spent an hour or so just trying to get down the fingering for the first run on the first page. The fingering is tricky and it only works if you play it super fast.
