@Juan Carlos Olite Oh my goodness. Such mesmerizing music! I can understand playing it again and again! I will be adding this to my list of pieces to learn.

Re: Week Two: Joie de musique!
@Gail Starr Looks like she lived around the same time as Rachmaninoff and some of his recordings are on YouTube. I am learning Faure’s Romance Sans Paroles #3.

Re: Suggested Repertoire!
I will be learning Gabriel Faure’s Romances Sans Paroles Op 17 No 3. Found through a YouTube search of French composers. Reminds me of the style of Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words.

Re: What is your favorite recording from this past week?
I have been listening to a lot of Scarlatti recently. This week I have been watching this recording by Lucas Debargue on repeat. I love his clarity, energy and the ornamentations he has added.
