Sir warned me of not observing a "default state of mind" when playing pieces. We both noticed I was wobbling while I
played Czerny, to which I replied it might be because of me playing Haydn this morning. "It's good that you're transparent
with this. Just please be careful to not persist this state of mind in order to preserve your sanity."

I went back to Czerny Op. 599 No. 20 (the fast 16th note passages) and I was having difficulties with the passages and how
to connect them. It must be because I was still familiarizing about [The Gesture](#) that I was committing mistakes.
