A review-and-result account of Daisies, recorded across two stages and a closing day.

This practice journey follows Sergei Rachmaninoff's Daisies, Op. 38, No. 3 day by day, across 3 stages. Each stage moves from the first study of the score and mental practice through physical integration at the piano to technical refinement, memorization and artistry. It closes with artistry, listening and surrender.

This sequence follows the daily development of one piece. It is not a collection of isolated lessons. Follow the stages in order to see how the complete practice process develops over time.
