Re: Mastering Tricky Passages and answering your questions!
@Maria My wrist and hands are doing fine, and so is the rest of my old body. And it's nice that Seilers are tall. I'm using thick caster cups for my Baldwin.

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Maria I wouldn't find it odd at all! It's a Liszt year after all, so a few Liszt encores after the Etudes would certainly be welcome. (Spoken as if I were in charge; I'm not😁)
