Friedman 14

Friedman 13

My folks watch the Poirot TV series; my Mom was obsessed with one of the pieces of music they used, Satie's Gnossienne No. 1 (from the show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLbSgVmFPD4). My Dad sent me the sheet music; a subtle hint to learn it. Hahaha. Anyway, I took the challenge. 

If you want to work on one-hand dampening, try this one.

Here is my best take of the night. I want to try to take it a little slower, and incorporate more dampening.

Comments appreciated.
