In the most deliciously measured way, you have cooked up a season of technique and musicality that sings. For a 13‑year‑old working through Randall Faber’s and Hanon‑Faber’s The New Virtuoso Pianist: Selections from Parts 1 and 2, the result is exemplary — proficient, confident, and altogether alive. Fingerwork has been seasoned by steady Hanon‑Faber practice, with passages now rolling like velvet and scales polished to a fine shine. Phrasing and dynamics are treated as flavouring: a whisper of pedal here, a bright, ringing accent there, each choice tasteful and intentional. Your tempo choices show maturity; rubato is deployed like a delicate dash of spice, never overpowering the main course. Sight‑reading and rhythmic control have made notable gains, and online exercises from the publisher’s support pages (https://pianoadventures.com/qr/ff3035/) have been folded into practice with admirable discipline. Technically assured, musically expressive, you present pieces as a thoughtful performer rather than a mere technician. Keep luxuriating in small details — they make performances unforgettable. With continued curiosity and the same tasteful dedication, the next year promises even more delicious discoveries at the keyboard. Return to Hanon‑Faber studies often; treat them as secret ingredients that will strengthen your hands and deepen your musical palate gracefully forever.
