@Gail Starr Whoa! Super impressive, Gail! And it’s so fast. Love the how your LH is very assertive; it really enhances the atmosphere of the piece and also heightens the propulsive drive.

Re: Week Two: Rachmaninoff's "Strawberry on the Keyboard"
@Vidhya Bashyam Thanks for introducing this piece to me, I wasn't super familiar with it before. It sounds quite complex, with all the chromaticism interwoven everywhere and polyrhythms — well done!
