Re: A Halloween Recital!
Dominic, there's a very odd and obscure Burrill Phillips Toccata that I played years ago and would like to work up again, possibly for this date. It's not spooky, but it's just strange--very angular,…

Re: An Autumnal Recital!
Well, since I did the first one today and I'm now officially addicted, is there room for one more piece? I'd like to perform Schubert impromptu in Gb Major Op. 90, D. 899. Thanks, Dominic.

Re: "Back to school" Recital!
@Sindre Skarelven One of my favorites! I'm trying to fix and re-memorize it now but I'll do something different on the 26th. Looking forward to hearing your interpretation.

Re: "Back to school" Recital!
Long ago I learned and memorized Chopin posthumous Nocturne in C# minor, but I was always a bit sketchy/inaccurate in (1) the middle section that sounds a bit like guitar arpeggios,…

Re: What piece of music never fails to make you smile or feel uplifted, and why?
Prokofiev piano concerto 3 especially when Argerich plays it.... I'm not sure "uplift" is what most listeners get from it--I just find it so playful, almost bratty at times. https://youtu.…

Re: Mike's Practice
Mike, great job starting fresh at something and allowing yourself to be an adult beginner. It's not always easy to humble oneself to that position in new activities. Best of luck to you. Sandy
