@mariannejhampton I was the one that mentioned Chaminade. Indeed, Op. 89 is very beautiful! It's what drew me into her music. She also did a Theme and Variations op.…

Re: WEEK ONE Updates: Main Thread - What a delightful theme Beethoven wrote!
Theme and first variation. The theme is pretty easy now, although that first variation is much harder than it looks (the unusual figurations). My biggest problem right now is finishing variation one.…

Re: Colors and Sound!
I sort of feel colors... Different keys have different attributes, which I know but can't always recognize when listening. A Major is very red, and somewhat fiery; A minor is also red.…
