Re: The digital piano thread
Update: I can no longer recommend Kawai, or at least the ES920. It is simply too flimsy. I had to place a special order for a part that costs 300$ and it will take over a month to arrive.…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
Not many questions here, so I will take the liberty 😁. Liszt Transcendental Etude no.2 , again! Bars 65-68 seem to be nearly impossible to play accurately at full speed.…

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Alexander Weymann The official challenge is anything Liszt, so feel free to prepare Wilde Jagd if you're feeling like it. You could even present an excerpt!
