Progress Video 0: Relearning Chopin's Ballade 2 (tried learning 2 yrs ago, paused, restarted today)

I was going to give Chopin repertoire a rest for a bit and focus on some Bach and Schubert, but felt compelled to pull out my score for Chopin's 2nd Ballade. And now I guess I'm committing to relearning it and making more progress than the first time! This is my "starting point" video after playing through it a few times today.

As background, I started learning it in May 2022, and then changed my mind about learning it for class (choosing to focus on Chopin's lovely Impromptus Op. 36 & 51 instead).

It is so much more satisfying to play this piece on my current piano than my prior Yamaha upright. I also have more problem-solving / practice techniques gleaned from learning the 1st and 4th Ballades, so hoping I can feel solid playing this well.
