In order to play this Invention well, one should first practice and master independence of hands as shown in my "Hand Independence" tutorial. One should aim for 108 bpm in this Invention; however, I suggest practicing it at only 2/3 or 3/4 speed at about 72-84 bpm until 108 bpm is reached effortlessly with no strain.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: The Sacramento Bee wrote: "Cory Hall played two works of towering artistic content and difficulty with a power and a finish that were startling. Hall was all over the keyboard but always conscious of the magic the notes were designed to evoke. It was an impressive performance." CORY HALL (b. 1963) is a retired concert artist, college professor, and church organist who currently devotes his time to making YouTube videos and composing. He wishes to inspire and offer advice to aspiring pianists and musicians worldwide via videos with his thought-provoking performances and tutorials. An independent scholar as well as performer, Hall holds graduate degrees in piano and historical musicology from The Eastman School of Music and The University of Kansas.
