@Juan Carlos Olite Thank you Juan Carlos. Yes it's a strange beautiful piece of music. And I agree we shouldn't get too caught up in the exact time signature.…

@Monika Tusnady I had thought you might be French because that is where you are. And you look somewhat French. But now that you mention it Monika with a k doesn't look so French. Let me google that..…

@Monika Tusnady Are you half English? you write English very well! None of my students know that phrase. It's not 4/4! I just delay the 3rd beat, waltz-like.

Brahms Waltz 9 - YouTube The hardest part was pulling back on the speed. I had to stop myself from playing more quickly and more loudly. For me it is a piece to enjoy quietly.

Brahms Waltz 2 - YouTube This is the best I can do for the moment! It's a lovely piece. The more I play it the harder it gets... Keeping the rhythm constant was the hardest part for me.

@Monika Tusnady Very good Monica! I liked your no. 6 and 11 best. (And the keyboard now sounds more like a piano...)

@Monika Tusnady Very impressive Monika. One question, is that an electronic keyboard? The bass sounds are very weak. I want to hear you play that on an acoustic piano...

@Monika Tusnady Thank you Monika. Yes I was trying that, moving the hand towards the piano and up, it produces a lighter sound. My technique is well behind the others here on Tonebase and yours.…
