@Hae Young Kim Hae Young this sounds fantastic. One of Chopin's many greatest pieces! Thanks for posting. Another recording I like is Claudio Arrau's.

Re: 🎹 The Romantic Music Challenge
I'd like to play the Nocturne in B-flat by Pederewski -- it's slow-ish and lyrical, about 4 minutes in duration. Thank you for organizing another nice challenge/event.

Re: WELCOME TO OUR NEW YEAR COMMUNITY CONCERT
@Alexander Weymann Indeed he did. And I think I first heard it on a recording by Perahia, which of course is also splendid.

Re: Week 4 Beethoven Challenge – Recordings Watch Party 🎥🎶
@Mark Cooper THanks Mark. Digital keyboard is Yamaha P-525. The sound is OK; however I don't like to play for extended time on it because there is no trampoline effect/cushion rebound from the keys…
