Re: Group 1 Wonderful exercise. I tried to apply it to a new Poulenc piece I've just begun working on. Not sure how well it will work beyond the first 8 measures I worked on here but I'll be looking forward to…

Re: Best Pianist from Every State in the USA @Gail Starr I couldn't agree more. I divide my time between NYC and Hawaii so I always enjoy when I see culture and the performing arts thriving in environments where one might not have first thought…

Re: Best Pianist from Every State in the USA @Gail Starr Yes, indeed. Lyrical and such depth. Mark was Jessye Norman's collaborative pianist for 20 years before her death. He lived in France for about a decade in the early-2000s but returned to…

Re: What song or piece of music best describes your personality? I think that Liszt's transcription of Schumann's Widmung feels like a good reflection of my personality. At least half of the time. I'm a Gemini so the other half is likely on the opposite end of the…

Re: What piece of music never fails to make you smile or feel uplifted, and why? I never tire of a good performance of Liszt's transcription of Schumann's Widmung. That final section of the piece is very exhilarating. I also find myself smiling whenever I hear Erkki Melartin's…

Re: Do you have any music-related bucket list items? Share one and why it's important to you. Delving deeply into the Taubman approach is what is on my bucket list in 2024. I have dream pieces that I have been holding off on until I acquire more freedom technically so I am hoping that…

Re: Do you have any music-related bucket list items? Share one and why it's important to you. @Tanya This is my dream piece. I refuse to look at the music myself until I feel more ready to tackle it but I admire anyone who can play it or who feels ready to start. Brava!

Re: “Who are pianists that you think more people should know about?” @Letizia you are so right about Hazel Scott but of course we must include Nina Simone. I love Nina Simone! Her rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone is sublime. https://youtu.…

Re: “Who are pianists that you think more people should know about?” The two pianists that come to mind that I love sharing with people are Mark Markham and Raoul Koczalski. Raoul's recording of Chopin's Ballade #4 is astounding! He is one of the true heirs to Chopin.…
