Hi, this is great! Thank you. How do you tackle the changes that begin in measure 25 or 26 where there are those staccato markings? Also what tempo would you recommend for performance? Do those versions have metronome marking suggestions?
I find m.26 and on to not actually be that difficult because the LH is not doing much and the RH can take time to navigate this part. The staccatos should be "portato" - a sticky detached motion. For the slur in the second half of the measure, the same rotation technique that I showed in the video above works. Regarding tempo: andante in 6/8 should move along, with a gentle lilt 1, 2, 1, 2. I suggest listening to a number of professional recordings and then adjusting to your student's ability. But it should not be overly slow.
