read, then play. and listen to you recording

la riviere - 15
slow and then fast goal is mm 30 for slow and 52 for fast

adio - all good except for last 2 measure of pg 2 which are missing the notes of F# in rh the upper DF# in left crossing over. This repeats the next time you do that passage on pg 3.
