This piece has to be one of the most beautiful and charming ever written

Excellent playing and I really love that piece. A person doesn't need to play feinberg or other complicated music because this is just as beautiful and imo more accessible to the general publics ears
Not to say however I wouldn't love to be able to play feinberg alkan etc. Im jealous of those that can when young and have the natural talent. Im. Not of course jealous of those who've worked for years honing their skills
I know people will say even the talented have to do the legwork (fingerwork) but i dont believe that to be necessarily true
Of course they put in immensely hard work but if they are seeing daily improvements then it gives them more impetus than the average player struggling. Plus they may have excellent teaching from the outset. So the basic groundwork of technique is firmly established. I liken it to a lawn. If the lawn us put down with weed seeds present and isnt tended its virtually impossible to do remedial work on it but if its put down with the best seed and nurturing it takes care of itself A musical family etc etc
Many can sight read this and far harder. Even if its not perfect. I would love that skill

Hi I just want to ask a random question.

I am learning BWV106 Kurtag, and it is filled with lots of sixths, and they have been reshaping my hands in a very beautiful way. Lots of E/B flat Major scale kind of in sixths.

Is there any stuff I can do for my left hand? To get them as beautiful as my right?

This is the right Andantino con Moto... and, it is 'french romanticism', not german. A difference (french versus german) that is always difficult to explain to pupils. I have a pupil playing it right now, who misses that subtle difference between brahms-like german deep expression and the more 'objective', more direct no nonsense expression french music needs, and the way you play it is a good example of that french style, without losing the beauty and the meaning of the piece.
