Re: Week 3: Art, Character, and Imagination
I'm working on the Brahms Intermezzo Op. 118 No. 2. I hear it as a love ode from Brahms to Clara Schumann. He's beseeching her and the lines throughout the piece function as their dialogue.…

Re: Inside the tonebase Manhattan Piano Intensive (2026) Kickoff event!
Can you provide details about the Observer rate? Does it allow you to attend all the sessions? It says $150 which I assume is a daily rate. How would you purchase multiple days?

I wish I had the time to learn one of Earl Wild's marvelous transcriptions of Gershwin's songs. Maybe next year. One work I do have "under my belt" is the beautiful Intermezzo, Op. 118 No.…
