Weissenborn Wednesday Etude #5

I spent a fair amount of my practice time for this etude deciding if I should find some middle ground between the super short accents and the normal accents. I think that one of the challenges this etude presents is the variety of articulation presented and it is our job to really dig in and perform them with the differences notated. I may have gone a little overboard listening back to the performance, but one of the things that I want to emphasize to any younger musician out there is that accents are not short by default or nature. Were I to go back and record this again, I may find a little more middle ground to account for the furioso marking to give the performance a little more edge, but I would still be very vigilant in making certain that I do not play the super short notes and the accents in the same style.
