Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@chuck levin Wow, that was a very good rendition of this very complex piece (to me)! I am never sure how much extra-musical meaning is hidden in those fantastic Etudes-Tableaux.…

Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@Hazel Certainly one of Faure's most memorable melodies in my opinion! I particularly like the part where the two top voice converse tenderly while the LH continues the accompaniment.…

Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@Kerstin Excellent playing! I too was once obsessed with that piece which I consider to be a desert island piece! I played nothing else for a full year. You can hear the outcome on my YouTube channel.…

Re: Week 3: Art, Character, and Imagination
@Peter Golemme I'd say my interpretation is definitely closer to Op.23 no.6!

Re: Week 2: Getting into the Practice!
@Karen Sam Thanks but I do own the whole score. I deliberately chose to play an excerpt because I only have a few weeks and I'm not the fastest learner😁.

Re: Week 3: Art, Character, and Imagination
Adagio from Rachmaninoff's Symphony no.2, transcription by Kirkor I've been trying to find the right sound world to strive for. Maybe I've made it more challenging for myself by trying to avoid…

Re: Week 2: Getting into the Practice!
@Karen Sam Hi, it is the one by Georgy Kirkor, which I find to be the most faithful to the original. I am only playing 4 pages of it though!

Re: Night Practice Headphones for a Digital Piano: HD 560S vs DT 900 Pro X (or other recs)?
I use the Sennheiser for my Kawai ES920 and I very satisfied with it. Good clarity yet warm sound, and I'd say it checks all the boxes you mentioned. I haven't tried the other one though.
