Don't forget to include length of time spent on items
- its more important at this point that you work on the playing as that is due much much earlier than the written work which accompanies the performance part
- don't forget to indicate length of time spent on project]]> 2018-12-03 12:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alic1680/blftmzlpqqcn/wish/310369680 December 20 - Matthie Feedback lmatthie https://padlet.com/alic1680/blftmzlpqqcn/wish/316180962 HI Alice,  Could you also provide a self reflection as to HOW you think you played for each of your pieces.

Thanks]]> 2018-12-20 15:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alic1680/blftmzlpqqcn/wish/316180962 Reflection of Performance alic1680 https://padlet.com/alic1680/blftmzlpqqcn/wish/320407269 Claire de Lune
-I think that I played most of the pitches correctly other than the high A flat, and some of the other high notes around there. I also think that I did not keep a constant tempo throughout the piece and didn't hold the notes for their full values. 
-I think I played the articulations right and there was a little bit of dynamic contrast, I wish I practiced in a space that echoes before the performance. 

River Flows in You
-I think that this was the best piece I performed out of the 3. I did get messed up on the second page through the runs but I felt the most confident pitch and rhythm wise with this one. 
-I think I could have worked on again keeping a constant tempo and not rushing the notes as much as I did.

Ave Maria
-I was really confident about the rhythms after I figured them out, but this piece definitely was the hardest to feel comfortable playing. I think I should have added more dynamics since there weren't a lot put into the piece, to make it more musical. I recorded my performance as well and when I listened to this song in particular, it felt kind of flat meaning not a lot of shape.
