This is great advice, really helpful. Also I notice that in many recordings of this, there seems to be a gap in rhythm when the hand moves back down to the bass. I definitely prefer it with the absolute minimum gap needed for physically moving the hand that far.

Could you share your thoughts about Beethovens sonatinas that examiners expect to hear such delicacy in tone that it makes Beethovens sonatinas do different Fromm the Sonatas

[@pianoarticlesweekly]

Dear @maryhealey6739, thank you for your comment. I have never thought of Beethoven Sonatinas as needing a very different approach to sound comparing to his Sonatas. I see the Sonatinas as a step towards his larger and more serious works, and try to imagine that when students are learning Sonatinas, they are taking an important preparatory step towards being able to eventually play Beethoven's more advanced pieces. I hope this helps! Best wishes, Wojciech
