Checkpoint: Having a conversation between left and right hand is easier than playing chords? ^o^
After playing so many chords for a while, I decided to switch back to fairly easier music, at least in my opinion. With chords, since I'm playing multiple notes simultaneously as one, it usually takes me a while to locate all the notes in the chord when I first begin practicing a piece >_<. That's why I prefer piano pieces that mostly have single note melodies and accompanying harmonies; the pieces that I like the most (because I am able to master the pieces the fastest ^o^ and the notes on the treble clef (mostly played by right hand)and ones on the bass clef (mostly played by left hand)can each contribute a portion to the overall melody) are works that includes alternating melodies between notes on the bass clef and notes on the treble clef, that way you're two hands don't have to simultaneously play (I've never really had good coordination with both hands) but can exchange the melody back and forth. Although it looses the richness that having two hand combined playing at once provides a piece, it does create something almost similar to a duet between the two hands or even a conversation: the left starting the first question, and the right answering it, before the left provides an agreeing response, and right continues that thought, and so on...

I like the metaphor of the conversation between hands.
