There were some stylistic contrasts, but the tempo was slightly too cautious to fully capture the mood.
Nonetheless, it maintained a firm pulse, and there were only occasional uncoordinated moments.

Technical Work:
The scales were accurately played, with even tone and rhythm, and the broken triads were secure. Exercise
