I’m just here to whine about my lack of speed. I loving Etude 17, but those licks in the middle!!! After much effort and repetition I’m playing them at 54 bpm with effort. Andrew’s at 80 bpm. Sigh.
I think speed is the reason I prefer etudes over songs one can recognize. I can slow them down without it being blatantly obvious that I suck. Lol.
