I have been listening to your lovely gently playing and I realize that I do more or less the same with my left hand so I am more confident now.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Keep up the great work! 😊

@@smillingtones What kind words of encouragement, thank you. May I just take the opportunity and kindly ask you if you can make a gentle song up and there please include some ornaments and how one plays them in the song just to gently appreciate what is happening ,because they tend to be rather fast and I simply don't get it. But you're so gentle so I hope that you'd honour that🙂. Thanks from the bottom of my heart,bless you.

Pas si facile qu'il en a l'air; ce morceau ! ....Ce fut le premier "vrai" morceau que j'ai appris, et je me souviens avoir eu du mal à le maîtriser

Je suis tout à fait d’accord pour dire que cette pièce n’est pas aussi facile qu’elle n’y paraît
