Re: Chopin Scherzo no 2: Create a master plan to bet to this level.

Re: What is your favorite piano brand?
@Angela Fogg It was actually on eBay! I truly lucked out since Steingraebers are so rare in the U.S.. The price of $20k seemed fair.

I am in the market for a great concert grand and have found a four year old demo Steingraeber at an excellent price. I have not yet tried it, but have heard wonderful recordings on it by concert…

Re: Request: Playback speed of livestreams
I like that idea! It would also be nice to be able to play a section more slowly, or at least be able to repeat it as many times as we like

Re: Which musician (non-pianist!) inspires you most?
I heard Gustavo Dudamel conduct the SF Symphony several times before he became famous. He is way up there in my list.
