Practice Tips for This is My Fathers World Piano Solo
It is a good idea to treat this arrangement artistically. While the first page is a faster tempo, be sure to take your time on any held notes (you can add fermatas where there are none and it sounds great).
Once the left hand arpeggios/broken chords come into play, think about playing with depth and not rushing the tempo.
One trick I particularly like to do is hold the first note in a chord briefly longer than the rest. This is important for measure 36 where the right hand has a jump of 2 octaves.
