Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Doug The bot filter is highly annoying. For example, in addition to Der Staatstadt an der Donau, no one can mention Mrs. Hensel (I can't type her first name or initial).

Re: The Official Lisztomaniac Complete Transcendental Etudes Challenge!
@Thurmond R Excellent job! If that is actually your first time playing the etude, you are much, much, much better at sight-reading than me! I couldn't even read Paysage without listening to it first.

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Koshka I hope your health has improved/improves soon! I also sem-learned Prelude no. 13 last year, but never finished it. I could have chosen to complete it for the challenge but I had reasons that…

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
@Kerstin I enjoy composing but I don't enjoy my compositions. I am currently trying to write Lieder but I haven't liked what I have come up with.

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
I am playing Chopin's Mazurka in G Minor Op. 67, no. 2, and probably also his Waltz in E Major KK IVa/12.

Re: Week 1: A New Hope
I will either finish one of the many Chopin Mazurkas that I started a long time ago, or relearn his Nocturne in B-flat Minor (which I didn't realize I had forgotten until very recently).

@Michelle R It is exciting that you and Thurmond are performing together! I didn't know that you also sang! By the way, what do you find "pesky" about the German L's?…
