Very well; only play it finely in your own way; it will also sound very well so.

I proposed the _crescendo_ there, because the feeling grows more intense; perhaps, in the next lesson, you will acknowledge that I was right.

This place I should play a very little slower, though without a striking _ritardando_; then a little faster here; do you think it ought to be played _crescendo_ or _diminuendo_?
We must try in this variation to present nicely shaded little pictures.

Here you might use more energy and decision.

This place you should play merely with a correct mechanical execution, but without special expression; for we require shadow, in order that the succeeding idea, eminently suggestive of the theme, shall be brought out with more brilliancy.
