@Jarred Dunn Wow, thank you for this, Jarred. It's so helpful to see your answers. I would never ever have arrived at "F# minor diminished 7 chord with a 4-3 soprano suspension" on my own!

@Vidhya Bashyam Beautiful job, Vidhya! I particularly appreciate how you kept everything very tranquil and the LH in a consistent sotte voce as backdrop to the main RH line.

Re: Springtime Recital
I’d like to play too. Not sure what yet, possibly Prokofiev’s Mercutio from Romeo & Juliet opus 75 and an opus 11 prelude by Scriabin, or a Respighi nocturne.
