I have been working on this piece intermittently for a year, but this technique will be helpful. Thank you PFS

[ebhd]

Thanks a lot for the motivation! I will keep practicing

[ErikWouda]

Tnx for this great tutorial, this will also be my first piece on piano.

One shortcut is to recognize that the two lines together form the same rhythmic pattern we're used to hearing in "Carol of the Bells" albeit much faster

Wow this is great advice, I'm going to try it right now!

What is the name of the "other" Glass song you mention @ 8:37 as a possible alternative starting piece?
Figured it out: Mad Rush

I've finally managed to play this great piece, a little tip that helped me quite a lot for 2 against 3. Try playing the beginning of piano etude n°6 then switch the rythm of the right hand to glasswork move ( left hand is almost the same between piano etude and glasswork)

Great) what the model of Kawai do you use?

[gdudas]

Where do you use the pedal? Or don't you use it?
