Hello, Thanks for your sharing. In the bar of 25, how should I play as my left hand is not large enough to play FCGA?

Hi, thank you for your support! I'm so sorry for the late reply. It has been a hectic time for me. I would first start by pressing the bottom two notes, F and C. Then, I’d release the bottom F while continuing to hold the C. Use your index finger that's still holding the C as an anchor point to rotate your left hand horizontally from left to right. This allows you to reach the top two notes, G and A, which you can play with your thumb. Alternatively, you can release both F and C, then shift your left hand slightly to the right to play the G and A with your thumb. In both methods, you'll need to use the pedal to carry the sound of the bottom F and C through bar 25, as they are semibreves. I can make a short video to explain this next week, as I'm fully occupied this weekend.
