That's very good. Now play the opening slur.

Okay, now, before I discuss that further...

See those two notes?

There's no slur.

[laughs]

We both agree the second note should be softer, right?

Do you connect that note to the next note?

Well, here you have a repeated note, so...

- Mm-hmm. Do you connect it? - No.

You make a separation?

- Yeah. - You didn't.

Do it. Play the opening.

- You didn't do that. - I didn't do that, no.

Of course not.

You're thinking we're never gonna get past

this first measure.
