Wow. I got really busy towards the end of last year. Arthur finished lessons mid December and started teaching again last weekend.

The fourth piece of the program is going to be the Chopin Ballade no 4 rather than Rachmaninov. I don't think the program is exactly imaginative but hopefully it will allow for consistency and a depth of performance.

I'm almost half way through the Bach fugue. Arthur was surprised that I had highlighted all the subjects pink, all the counter subjects orange and all the upside downey ones purple but that is the way I have always learnt fugues. This one is in four parts and is six pages long.
