Different tempos, dynamics, and tone colors are essential tools for musical expression.

Articulation in music is crucial; we should not always play in legato but use various articulations to express our ideas.

Phrasing is essential when playing a passage, and I personally enjoy incorporating phrasing into my performance. When playing fast scalar passages, focus on the overall crescendo rather than each individual note, as the first note should not be accented but rather serve as the beginning of a crescendo leading to the theme.

While focusing on legato playing, it's essential to consider the role of the right hand, as it can interrupt the flow of the melody if not managed properly.

Singing while playing can help you feel more confident and understand where the notes are in the melody, and to strengthen your melodic playing, it's important to identify where you breathe in the music, as it helps form the line of the melody.

It's crucial to develop good habits of alternation early on to prevent tension in the right hand and maintain tone quality as you progress to more complex repertoire.

Emphasizing different parts of a melody with varying techniques can enhance the power and clarity of the musical line you want to convey.

Rhythmic elements are crucial for achieving the composer's intent, especially when they intricately place notes within a beat.

When playing a single note melody, it's essential to have refined control of touch, but bringing out and singing a melody through a series of chords requires even greater nuance and control.
