Re: Week Two: Rachmaninoff's "Strawberry on the Keyboard" @Vidhya Bashyam This is exceptional. I usually only ask ChatGPT for help in menu planning (which it does quite well). I need to expand my explorations, LOL!

Re: Week Two: Rachmaninoff's "Strawberry on the Keyboard" @Thurmond R Thank you for your lovely description, Thurmond. Believe it or not, my great aunt (born in 1898) WAS a pianist for silent movies!! She said it was a very cool job and she was well paid.

Re: Week Two: Rachmaninoff's "Strawberry on the Keyboard" @Vidhya Bashyam Same here! This valse seems like it could easily be a ballet piece "en pointe"...I'm getting sort of a Tchaikovsky "Swan Lake" vibe.

Re: Read Me and FAQ @Juan Carlos Olite Would you mind if I try to play Op. 3, #2? I think it is too difficult for me, but I really like Claire Huangci's excellent lesson on the piece and SHE has small hands!

I've been playing music on and off since childhood and now I finally have time to practice!

My favorite activity is chamber music, but I joined Tonebase to also start learning solo repertoire.

I'm so excited to meet other pianists from all around the globe.
