NEW: CHOPIN. Nocturne Op9 Nr2 in E-flat MajorJanuary 24
Let's return to repeating the first chord, so you can implement details such as a RH melody that digs into the keys a bit more, the goes light at the end of phrases. Let's raise the dynamics a bit so you are not playing at the edge of not getting sound fro the LH chords |

I found this version that provides the accompaniment but not the melody. Let's start with this and we will play it s a duet. I may find another version of it with the melody.

Review the 2-5-1 not only with just 3 and 7, but also with the full chords, because the full chord gives you a better harmonic context. The 3-7 is easier to play for quick solution.
Remember you can improvise on the scale of the "1" during the entire 2-5-1
Combine two of them: For example: 2-5-1 in C followed by 2-5-1 in D.
Then choose two other keys.
