Theory

Farewell: piano part 不要刮音。不要忘了rest, 拍子要准,count 1-2-3. G# 是典型的a harmonic minor. 3-5-7-2 是a minor的5级dominant 7th.
开头的突强之前有两个accent做准备,第三次声音要拉宽, mi-re-mi-RE, 要做crescendo 会更好听。
Second part is C Major.

Duet: finger 4 rotate open elbow.
Juanita: 3rd page 左右手要整齐,LH target practice. Ending LH melody need emphasize. Listen to other player's.
