23/40: German Dance 2 by Joseph Haydn

Ok, I give up now. I can hear that my staccato aren't precise, but I just can't fix it. I think I am not technically at the point where I can cross over or tuck under plus precisely articulate and have the right dynamics. I tried it slow and hands seperate, but even at snail tempo it is so difficult. I could do a semi sharp staccato for the whole phrase, but not a sharp clear one, and I can't precisely do the change between two slured, four sharp.
One day I will return to this one and see how my articulation has improved. For now I have to be happy with having hit the right notes at the right time and 80% of the intended interpretation.
Weird how expectations get higher the more we advance. A year ago I might have been really happy with this recording. Now I am not really pleased. But enough time spent on this, it starts to get boring.
What this piece taught me:
- my weaknesses in articulation, I will work on that!
