Re: May Community Concert!
@Peter Golemme Peter, this recording is very nicely done! I just wanted to weigh in on the discussion about memorization. For me, memorizing Bach - the polyphony - is more difficult than most other…

@claudiadm73 Claudia, that's beautiful playing. I am Schumann deficient and trying to plug that gap by listening to more of him. I don't know this piece, but you play it beautifully and sensitively.…

Re: Week 4 — Share Your Playing 🎶
@Juan Carlos Olite Thank you Juan Carlos. I'm glad some of the nuances and some expressivity came through. Sometimes it takes another pair of ears to confirm this.…

Re: March Community Concert!
@Gail Ravin Starr Hi Gail, and many thanks. That was a really nice concert. I don't "own" op 81a yet, but playing it in NYC and here has been a big step forward for me.

Re: How to play Chopin Étude Op. 10 No. 1 — Step by Step

Re: Week 4 – Play Through & Share
@Noel Nguyen Hi Noel, and thank you. I bet there's lots of extra-musical meaning in not only this etude but all of Rachm, really. The very title "etudes tableaux" suggests that Sergei had some…
